The open-world Dark Souls successor is staggering in breadth and challenge

A defiant wuxia epic characterized by rapid, brutal combat

Push, drag, and snap those puzzles into place

It’s a surreal point-and-click journey

This turn-based title is Doors & Corners meets Dungeons & Dragons.

If you’re a Riven fan, you simply must play this version. If you’ve never played Riven, there’s no better opportunity. Escaping into another world is not just the external promise of the Myst games, but the actual premise, and Riven’s update brings those two things closer than ever before.


If you thought the base game was difficult, think again

God’s not in heaven, all’s wrong with the world

The wider scope makes this sequel’s story fundamentally different

A puzzle game that’s not to be missed

And if you’re one of those people, welcome

Seven years in the making, this one-person passion project is unlike any other… if you have the willpower to see it through

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the best video game adventure I’ve experienced since Elden Ring, a far more approachable open-world game that has no doubt colored how players perceive this year’s big fantasy RPG. (It certainly did for me.) But like another FromSoftware game, the original Demon’s Souls, I found that once I had accepted Dragon’s Dogma 2’s peculiarities and deciphered what it was asking of me, I fell deeply in love. Dragon’s Dogma 2 awakens those old feelings of learning to overcome my expectations of what a game should be, then discovering new types of experiences along the way. That’s the best kind of journey.


It doesn’t change the game, but it shows why Stardew Valley was a game changer
