Yes, but they can't, any more than Sony can make PlayStation 5 Pro exclusive games. Unless you're offering a full trade-in for me to upgrade or refund, they'd be violating the terms of my purchase and forever losing a customer. pcmag.com/opinions/to-sa…

Really great lens for a "perfect 7/10": "Dark Souls is medieval Europe cast through the lens of Japanese mythology; Bloodborne is the Female Gothic made manifest through Lovecraftian horror; Enotria is a sun-soaked descent into the haunting hedonism of Italian Carnevale."

I don't mean to put games in competition with one another, but I'm going to have a really hard time making my end-of-year list, because I think either Animal Well or Isles of Sea of Sky is going to get on it, but probably not both, and that's a devilish choice.

103 of the 135 games I've played this year are eligible for my end-of-year list. I have a few make-up titles already, like Minishoot Adventures and Rabbit & Steel, but please feel free to plug your own games or recommend others. I have a limited budget for playing catch-up!

I'm not going to feed this guy's engagement farming, but if your goal is to "get these people out of [their kind of] gaming," the existence of combat- and danger-free games should be appealing, as it'll keep those people occupied elsewhere.

I live how people can reference Ezio as an example of why growing the same character over multiple entries is important but will simultaneously shit all over Desmond's existence.
