  • "I haven't played it but..."

    "I haven't played "Elden Route" but in my opinion it doesn't deserve a 10"

    If you haven't played the game that's not an opinion, that's just a bias. I understand what you thought you were saying about Breath of the Wild haven broken ground comparatively, but you have no basis for saying other reviews are wrong without trying the game

SPOTLIGHT: Dark Machine Games, Developer Behind White Knuckle
Q: What sparked the initial concept for White Knuckle and how did it evolve into a full game?
It started as a rock climbing horror idea during a late-night prototyping session, grew through rapid iteration with the team, and was influenced by roguelike elements and a desire to create bespoke climbing mechanics rather than a static, one-and-done experience.
Metal Gear Solid Delta Impressions and Moving from Consoles to PC
Q: What's one trend in gaming today that you think will still be around in ten years?
Live service models, remakes, and handheld PCs.
