Play it on: PC, Switch, PlayStation, XboxCurrent goal: Make my stronghold a little nicer If I’m honest, most of my gaming time this weekend will probably go, once again, toward the incredible UFO 50.

When Disco Elysium came onto the scene in 2019 it completely shook up RPG storytelling, spearheading new ways to immerse players and build worlds. Surely it was just the start of something new, bold, and exciting. Instead, things got very messy, very quickly. Now, multiple teams made up of former staff are racing to build a spiritual successor and it’s only getting more confusing. 6 Things To Know Before Starting Persona 5 Tactica Disco Elysium...

Image: Telltale Throughout the 2010s one of the most interesting developers around was Telltale Games, the developer behind a number of exceptional narrative-driven adventures set in the worlds of popular franchises. The team was most known for its Walking Dead series, generally considered an emotional masterpiece. Telltale still exists today (at least in name), and now you can get much of its catalog—with a few major exceptions—on deep discount during a new Steam sale running...

Screenshot: Bandai Namco / Kotaku The most straightforward method is to purchase characters at the in-game shop, located at the Shop & Customize part of the Main Menu. But fear not, there are no microtransactions here, as everything’s purchased with the Zeni currency you earn through battles. Aside from needing to gather lots of Zeni to acquire the characters, there is one more important catch—not all the characters are listed here at first. The shop...

Metaphor: ReFantazio, the new fantasy RPG from the minds behind Persona, is a pretty dense game. There are a lot of systems to keep track of, levels to grind, and time to manage as you travel through the world of Euchronia. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the things to do when actual in-game days pass when you so much as talk to someone. The Week In Games: Octopath Dreamland Deluxe A lot of...

The Phantom Menace is the one Star Wars movie that probably received the most tie-in games back in the day, and it appears that Lucasfilm Games is making sure we remember all of them. After a straightforward re-release of Episode I: The Phantom Menace earlier this year, it’s been announced that Aspyr is remastering Jedi Power Battles. Like its other recent Star Wars efforts, such as the Battlefront Classic Collection and Bounty Hunter, Jedi Power...

Nearly five years since the game launched, Disco Elysium has something of a rotten legacy. One of the most acclaimed games of the modern era, the ground-breaking RPG was adored by critics and consumers alike at launch, lauded for its deep RPG systems, its exemplary writing, and for how completely and utterly well-conceived its bleak, miserable world was.
