There has never been a better time to be a fighting game fan…. okay, maybe there has been a better time, but you cannot deny how fantastic the modern fighting game scene is.

After watching a three-hour presentation on an alpha build of Larian’s Baldur’s Gate 3 at a preview event in San Francisco, I had the privilege of interviewing Larian senior producer David Walgrave about the Dungeons and Dragons-based RPG which Larian plans on releasing in early access this year. We chatted about everything; from the game’s
Belgian game studio Larian has established itself as a master of tabletop-based CRPGs ever since Divinity: Original Sin released in 2014.

There are so few developers as open about their games as developer Obsidian Entertainment is with their upcoming project, The Outer Worlds. Despite seemingly new updates rolling out about the game every week, the developers always appear to have some new tidbit of information about the Fallout like RPG.

And while the fandom around his character
Despite my luke-warm review of Far Cry New Dawn, there is a lot to truly appreciate the game and developer Ubisoft’s direction.

Fun. This is something some would say the WWE 2K series has been lacking as of late. While it did provide a semi-authentic portrayal of the WWE product, the game lost its fun along the way. It seems that the developers at Visual Concepts have been listening to your queries and WWE 2K19 aims to be
