For reasons that I’m afraid this writer doesn’t want to know more about than necessary, a lot of you seem to want to know how tall Kratos, Thor, and Tyr are in God of War: Ragnarok. While that may be because some of those characters clearly tower above others in the game, I suspect it

God of War: Ragnarok embraces its RPG elements more than many other modern games of its kind, which means that you’ll want to constantly upgrade Kratos and Atreus as you progress in order to survive the adventure’s toughest encounters. So far as that goes, there are few better ways to upgrade your heroes than to

Video game difficulty is a huge talking point in the modern video game landscape. Some games only offer one difficulty setting, while others let players tweak the challenge they are looking for.

But the one thing that all GoW

We knew that Final Fantasy 16 was going to be an untraditional Final Fantasy game in several ways, but we now know the game will draw from some truly unusual sources that include divisive sequels to classic ’80s comedies.

As we approach the two-year anniversary of the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S’s releases, now feels like the perfect time to come together and talk about how this generation of gaming has gotten off to a historically disappointing start.  Look, all you have to do is mention the year “2020” to start to understand why

With October comes Halloween and with Halloween comes watching lots and lots of horror and horror-adjacent movies. These iconic movies usually have many spinoffs and, for better and for worse, sometimes that means video game tie-ins, too. Over the decades, we’ve seen the events of Halloween both adapted into being chased by Michael Myers via

It’s hard to overstate how much I love RPGs. I love the robust character creation, the engaging mechanics, the beautiful stories, and the expansive worlds. But I have to admit something.

I’ll go to my grave defending good jump scares from all that oppose them.

Notice that I said good jumpscares. While horror is filled

Gotham Knights gives you a ton of (arguably too many) objectives, mechanics, and functions to process pretty might right out of the gate. That’s why it’s so strange that the game makes one of its most basic features (how to switch characters) so much more confusing than it needs to be.  To change characters in

Boss fights are almost as old as video games themselves, but while most land somewhere between mild annoyances and controller throwing exercises, a few are just plain terrifying.
