The Last of Us 2 has been the subject of controversy since before its release, but most can agree that its world building has stayed consistent between sequels. The presence of the infected is still just as much of a threat as before, and the addition of anew variant, the Shambler, keeps Ellie and company on their toes. Despite all of this, there is one scene in particular that doesn’t seem to follow the same rules that were set in stone by the original game, that being the hospital level during Abby’s portion of the story....

Summary After the shocking Insomniac leaks that have plagued the developer, evidence of a newRatchet and Clanktitle has suggested the next entry in the franchise won’t be until 2029. Although that feels like ages away at this point, it’s at least exciting to see that Insomniac is seemingly working on anew game in theRatchet and Clankseries. With 2021’sRatchet and Clank: Rift Apartbeing the most recent entry in the franchise, it’s surprising to see the next game’s date be set for a whole eight years away....

Summary Geralt’s adventures across the Continent lead him to many places and have connected him to many people. Despite the fact he’s closely acquainted with people who range from royalty to peasants, he travels alone, often only with his horse for company. This life is traditional for witchers;witchers travel alone on the Pathand only rarely encounter other witchers by chance. While this worked for Geralt, it may be time for another kind of RPG mechanic to be introduced that will set the newTheWitchertrilogy apart from its predecessor....

The Thaumaturgeis a detective-style adventure game set in early 1900s Warsaw, Poland. As a thaumaturge, the game’s protagonist, Wiktor, can command supernatural beings to influence and affect people from another dimension.

Following on from the mission “Bastards of the Night” (in which Wiktor and Abaurycy capture the salutor, Lelek, before getting wildly drunk), Ligia finds the pair at the Szulski house doorsteps and asks for a private word with Wiktor....

Almost exactly two years after releasing the trailer for the first season ofThe Witcher, last week Netflix surprised the show’s fans with the full official preview for season two. However, amongst all the excitement many were left confused by the video’s odd music choice and one fan went the extra mile to make things feel more likeThe Witcher. While it’s arguable Kanye West’s “Monster” might still be a proper song for a secondWitcherseason that’s bound to fill a bunch of new entries in Geralt’s bestiary, hip hop is definitely not the genre one would immediately associate with the franchise....

With the advent ofTotal War: Warhammer 3, theWarhammerfranchise has a near-complete digital representation, especially when one considers the pending Mortal Empires DLC.

Assassin’s Creed Invictusis just one of many recently announced upcoming projects for the longstanding franchise, marking an end to what was a relative lull in content for the series.

While very little is currently known aboutAssassin’s Creed Invictus, there is still a lot that can be inferred about the title from its very brief reveal....
