So The Order: 1886 had a lot of detractors, mainly because it used QTEs quite a bit and because the gameplay reportedly wasn't so great. One thing that my UX heart can't help beating for, though, is the "jump to chapter" feature in the game. Once I've progressed far enough and unlocked a chapter, I... Continue Reading →
Mystery Boxes

Our intrepid - and funnily enough somewhat embarrassed and awkward with naked people - knight Galahad ends up running through a room in a whorehouse. The room is used for what rooms in bordellos are commonly used for, and his... Continue Reading →
