Rise and Shine is beautiful, funny, and surprisingly thought-provoking, but a dated approach to difficulty makes it more frustrating than it should be. A lot of people seem to look back on NES games and their infamous difficulty with rose-tinted glasses. They remember hours and hours spent sorting in front …
Horizon Zero Dawn is almost upon us. It was a surprising announcement at E3 2015; a lush, beautiful open-world RPG from a studio who’d made nothing but gritty first-person shooters for the past ten years. True to big-budget marketing form, we’ve been kept on a steady stream of information to …
