The Secret of the Cheese in Dragon Age: Inquisition – The Descent

Much like its predecessors, Dragon Age: Inquisition is steeped in lore, and there’s no shortage of odd and unusual leads to follow from its plethora of codex entries.

Star Wars: Outlaws on Switch 2’s Reception Kinda Bugs Me

Another day, another overly expensive port of a decidedly not new game.

Sneaky Secrets Galore in The Talos Principle

Stellar Blade Was Alright

I finally got around to playing and finishing Stellar Blade over the past couple of weeks, and while I enjoyed my experience, I find myself wondering what all the fuss was about. It was a perfectly solid game with a lot of good ideas while also having more than a few weaknesses that held it…
