The Last of Us: Part II – Joel is Dead?
A SEQUEL to The Last of Us needs to shake up the formula.

FINALLY, here’s a look at Dragon Quest XI.
I’ve been waiting for a full size Dragon Quest on a home console since VIII.

Hmm, oh well. Read More

A VIVIDLY realised world, confident art direction and open ended level design make Dishonored 2’s setting of Karnaca an exciting place to visit.
Dishonored 2 (D2) is a game about options; combat, mobility, map design, ability unlocks and the narrative are all crafted in a way that gives you several fulfilling choices.
