what a huge loss
bioware's games have been so formative to so many, including myself
i'll cherish the memories i have of playing KOTOR, Dragon Age, Mass Effect and Jade Empire forever
to all who have at any point been involved with these titles: thank you
so, hey, #Enshrouded is a great time and clearly a labour of love, even though it's far from perfect...at least for now
my review for @CGMagonline:
cgmagonline.com/review/game/…
as @RuneScape is being prepared for an ambitious relaunch under the name Reignited, on December 2nd, the biggest problem is that the community is not on board
read my interview with Mods Ryan and Luma from #RuneFest2026 for @CGMagonline here:

in my first interview from #RuneFest2026, @OldSchoolRS Lead Game Designer Elena Nordmarkt touches on the new PvP updates coming this year, as well as the ambitious roadmap planned for 2027:

i've been lucky enough to attend #RuneFest 2026 this weekend, where some exciting content updates and projects (including a brand-new RuneScape MMO) have been announced
my colleague Jordan breaks it down below, with more coverage to follow from me in the next few days 🌟

persona 4 is my favourite game of all time, which is why i have big hopes for the remake
it's too early for a definitive opinion, but after getting hands on with Revival, it is looking like it will be playing it far too safe

i didn't end up reviewing it - see my colleague's review below - but i absolutely adore Star Wars: Galactic Racer
i knew from the start that it was likely to be good, but i didn't know I'd love it to the degree it's now a GOTY contender and one of my favourite SW games
"Star Wars: Galactic Racer absolutely nails the fundamentals of a sci-fi racer—delivering high-speed racing with tight controls and some pretty unique mechanics."

9 games that made me!
template: my9games.net/en/edit
Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is a sensational action game hamstrung by a drawn-out and incoherent story
if the story of a title like this is of no interest in the first place, you'll have an even better time with it than I did

for @CGMagonline , i spoke with co-founder and game director Jonathan Rogers about why December 2026 is the right time for Path of Exile 2 to come out of Early Access and post-launch plans:

late last month, i had the wonderful pleasure of sitting down with PM Studios CEO @balbnis and talk about the future of physical video games and PANAX, his brand new gaming community & e-commerce platform

Enshrouded is one of my games of the year and my interview with creative director Antony Christoulakis has me very excited for the 1.0 release

Many people are talking about the Highwind, but one of our goals with REVELATION was to bring a new sense of verticality to exploration.
REMAKE focused on story, REBIRTH expanded the world, and with REVELATION we wanted players to experience that world from an entirely new perspective.
-
多くの方がハイウインドに注目してくださっていますが、本作で私たちが挑戦したかったのは、探索における「高さ」の体験でした。
『REMAKE』ではストーリー、『REBIRTH』では世界の広がりを描きました。そして『REVELATION』では、その世界を新たな視点から体験できる作品を目指しています。

"...FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION was absolutely following in the footsteps of its predecessor, REBIRTH, in being an open-world JRPG chock full of things to do."

during gamescom, I sat down with @PUBGDedNet creative director @CurdStuff, who told me all about his "remix of what PUBG could be" and the game's unapologetic and 90s-inspired vibe

rare double feature from me today, but I also had the chance to speak to key people behind Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, namely voice and motion-capture actor for protagonist Sophia, @Anna__Demetriou, lead game writer, Carol Ann Bañuls and lead level designer Valerian Robert:
"I had to try to remember that she is more hot-headed and reckless and not as thoughtful and measured as she was [in Requiem]."

yes, FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION seems like it'll be amazing, but my 40 minutes or so with the game also showed that it might be overstuffed with points of interest and things to do
