Ironically, the buzz surrounding EA Sports’ soccer games is the same year after year. The uninitiated wonder why these seemingly minor changes can’t be added in an update, while hardcore fans, perhaps importing their tribal fan culture from real-life soccer, fret over every new face and feature. I’m definitely one of those people who’s been ...
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Samsung just launched a bunch of new devices at its big Unpacked event in Paris and one of them was its Galaxy Ring. The brand’s first generation of smart rings is finally here, after being unveiled in January and then again at MWC. It will ...
I’ve made the mistake of underestimating HoYoverse games before. When Honkai Impact 3rd was released last year, I was so cautious about thinking Genshin Impact was a flash in the pan—a one-off hit that I’m glad to make an exception for, as I have no interest in free-to-play RPGs aimed at a mobile-first market—that I’d ...
When I first jumped into Goat Simulator 3’s massive new expansion during its preview period, the first thing I did was get thrown into the stratosphere. I hadn’t planned on doing this, but it happened and I escaped the only way I could think of. I tried to land on the head/nose of this giant ...

After installing Fallout 76’s Skyline Valley expansion, the first thing you see when you arrive at the new map area of Shenandoah is the sky. It’s been tinted a deep red, almost reminiscent of the clouds over the infamous Sierra Madre from Fallout: New Vegas, thanks to a mysterious and persistent storm. While this storm ...
My first steps in Elden Ringis new Shadow of the Earth Tree Expansion feels like coming home. After traveling there, I touch a withered arm, step onto a grassy plain, and see a crumbling giant tree in the distance. The land is littered with intangible tombstones and spirit world versions of enemies I’ve faced before: ...
Let’s get down to business. Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree expansion is definitely, positively, the same old thing. After spending three hours poring over a portion of its monumental-looking map, I came away satisfied with two things: First, it’s not a great reinvention—but second, it doesn’t need to be. It ultimately builds on the ...
