This time, they’re talking heated discussions, Easter eggs, and cut content. On the former topic, the artists were at one point envisioning a more military-themed aesthetic for the Tyrant, but they eventually settled intoa look more befitting a city environment. Thank goodness! An unsettling new “jump-scare” enemy type, the “Condemned,” was also explored....

It’s quite a lineup 2021 almost feels like it didn’t happen. It’s hard to keep track of time when everything is so uncertain, so I feel like I remember this past year more in terms of the media I consumed than in real-life events. The games I played this year stand out most in my mind, and with them, the characters that I got to know and love. I can’t get over how impressive it is that game studios have still managed to put out games in the midst of a pandemic, let alone really good ones....

The fact that this is a downloadable title for PC, PlayStation Network, and Xbox Live Arcade only has me feeling more anxious to see more....

Having playedOnechanbarafor review quite a bit, I found myself nostalgic forDynasty Warriors, which is blatantly a better game.

The demo will be available on the Japanese PlayStation Network Store, and it will definitely be downloaded by me via the gift of theInternet.

It makes sense, then, that FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki’s overall design and leadership philosophies reflect this. In the wake of seemingly constant layoffs in the video game industry, Miyazaki hascommented candidlyon his own stance at From. It’s one thing to say he won’t let something like that happen at his company, but his own approach to development and his thoughts on failure seem to back that up....
