There’s a moment in Destiny 2 – one that eclipses all the storytelling seen in the first game. It’s small, and maybe not even intentional. Amidst the countless lines of dialogue and high-budget cutscenes, it’s a tiny, insignificant thing. It’s about a wall. An eight-foot-high wall that – in any other game – you would …
When Advanced Warfare dropped in 2014, it took Call of Duty in a new direction. Snappy lateral dashes, and an emphasis on verticality remapped the series’ DNA for years to come. But – as with anything – fatigue set in. Players longed for simpler gameplay, and a return to more traditional movement. The popularity of …
Fallout 4’s Commonwealth in a wonderfully varied and enthralling place to explore and exist in, yet after a hundred-plus hours, the ruined cityscape of post-war Boston and the surrounding countryside soon start to become stale.

Now, imagine yourself on a trek to wander through these lands, alone or with your friends, to witness this beautifully crafted world, in a simple tale of how a group of …

It says a lot about the current marketplace when the first things that pop into my head when I hear ‘mobile games’ are ‘low quality’ and ‘money grabbing’.
