It’s been almost 15 months since the release of Lightfall, the seventh major expansion for Destiny 2 since its launch in 2017. The year was marked, for some, by failure and tragedy: Lightfall itself wasn’t especially well-received, Zavala voice actor Lance Reddick died during Season of Defiance, and Bungie fired 10 percent of its staff […]

Hey y’all, this is a heads-up: if you liked NORCO, the sprawling Neo-Southern Gothic adventure game from Geography of Robots, you’ve got something new to check out.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape is officially one month away. The long national nightmare is almost over; Destinyplayers will finally have something new to complain about that isn’t executive tomfuckery at Bungie or the possible threat of a closure from Sony.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and the Art of Letting Go and Moving On

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is ambitious, emotionally-charged and deeply humanistic. It’s no surprise that it’s the perfect sendoff for Kazuma Kiryu, and a great reintroduction for Ichiban Kasuga.
