‘Hogwarts Legacy’ is Everything Potter Fans Ever Wanted
Ever since the release of the ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’ (Philosopher’s Stone if you’re not from North America) video game for Gameboy and PlayStation in 2001, fans of JK Rowling’s ubiquitous Harry Potter series have been clamoring for the chance to truly feel like they’re in the wizarding world. What we’ve gotten instead has been a string of mediocre to awful film adaptation games with janky combat mechanisms and little to no options for exploration. One notable exception was the 2003 game ‘Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup’, which was essentially magical FIFA. While it was undoubtedly a fun game, it captured but a fraction of the complex imaginativeness that is the hallmark of Rowling’s universe, and struggled with the same lack of exploration as other games.

On Finishing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
As of about a month ago, I can officially say I finished The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Except for some undiscovered places in Skellige, I’ve seen basically everything. At least, I’ve done all the quests available in each location. Okay, so I haven’t been everywhere, but I 100% completed the DLC, and I’ve done basically every quest in the main game, not including the Gwent quests and some horse races.

What Is Slingo And How Do You Play It?

DnD is preschool
Fifth edition made Dungeons and Dragons mainstream. And with a score of new role-players out there, that's a wonderful thing. But with eight years under its belt since the 2014 debut of the game, an entire generation of players are ready to graduate to something more nuanced. Don't get me wrong, I love Dungeons and Dragons that works well, is generally balanced, evokes the fantasy genre well, has defined protagonists and antagonists and delivers a clear narrative. But its not the only way to skin a cat... And after cutting their teeth in dark, dank dungeons, this generation of players is ready for Vampire: The Masquerade.

Revisiting Pokémon Go in 2020
When Pokémon Go was released in 2016, it was a cultural phenomenon, breaking the Guiness World Record for highest first month revenue of any mobile game ever by bringing in $207 million. (Swatman, 2016). It was truly the summer of Pokémon. But summer soon gave way to winter, and Pokémon Go’s meteoric rise was followed by an equally dramatic fall. By December 2016, Pokémon Go’s United States playerbase had fallen from 28.5 million in July to just 5 million trainers (Farooqui, 2017). This was due to the fact that the game had little to offer upon its release aside from actually catching Pokémon. There were gyms where you could battle, but aside from that there wasn’t much to do with your collection of monsters. There was no system for trading with friends or battling other trainers. In addition, players could only catch the original 151 Pokémon at the time. The game was largely forgotten to the general public, but for game developer Niantic and the Pokémon faithful, the journey had just begun.
