Inclusivity and The Order|1886

I know I'm harping on about The Order|1886, but to me it is so very rare to find a game that I actually like (and that isn't made by BioWare) that I do tend to get a bit... focused. Fixated, even. Call it my tendencies to over-love stuff I like. Don't worry. It won't go... Continue Reading →

The Order|1886 – PS4

I bought The Order|1886 out of sheer contrariness.

The Endless Derp of Character Generators

I'm not sure if I'm the only one ending up with a derpy faced character the first time I play basically any of BioWare's games and use the character generators, from Mass Effect and forward. The characters look great, in all their inanimate glory, but as soon as they start to talk you realise you'll... Continue Reading →
