Bethesda has been hard at work on The Elder Scrolls 6 since it was announced all the way back in 2018. Naturally, players have been somewhat patiently waiting for any form of news, or, ideally, a new trailer showcasing some actual gameplay. Of course, none has arrived, leaving fans with little to do other than twiddle their thumbs and hope that whatever Bethesda is cooking will live up to their increasingly high expectations. However, while TES 6’s release date is far away, there are still plenty of RPGs players can get stuck into, many of which fall under the increasingly…

Elden Ring Nightreign feels like a modded version of FromSoftware’s best game ever – and after 3 hours, I only wanted to play more
A few runs into my Elden Ring Nightreign hands-on session, I finally realize what this oddball not-sequel really is. This bizarre chimera of an open-world action RPG, spliced with roguelike and battle royale genes. This is, essentially, a mod – an Elden Ring randomizer with the FromSoftware seal of quality. Here I am dropping into Limveld, a slice of alternate-universe Limgrave, via magic bird battle bus, latching onto the first meta weapon I can find in chests or on corpses, and preparing to fight randomly selected bosses while a fog wall herds me like a sheepdog. This is a mod.In…

Make sure to sleep regularly in Avowed—if you don’t, you could miss out on lore, quests, and magic items
I would describe my default Avowed play speed as “breakneck”. With stuff to find around every corner, I feel compelled to spend most of my time sprinting around the Living Lands grabbing up everything in sight, pausing only to stuff my cheeks with food between battles.What took me probably a bit too long to realise is that there’s good reason to slow down and take a break sometimes. Returning to camp heals you for free, and gives you a chance to upgrade equipment, enchant, cook food, and chat to your companions. But something that’s easy to miss is that it…
