    Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen Review: Great, But At a Cost

    Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is a great expansion that adds the new Norgan region with more loot, beasts, and stories, but its changes dilute what made the base game unique. The author notes that the Eternal Ferrystone and portcrystals across Norgan reduce how often you travel on foot, though you must still reach each one first to activate it. Those changes aim to make the experience more approachable, yet they also shift Dragon's Dogma 2 in a different direction.

    EA and Full Circle issued a statement on mods for the early access game skate., saying they support player creativity but oppose tools that bypass their systems to unlock paid cosmetics, release gated content, or profit from unauthorized assets.

    Paradox says Afterworld isn't a Fallout grand strategy game, draws more on the Bronze Age

    Afterworld content designer Luke Bean said in a dev diary that Fallout is not in the game's top five reference points, and that the post-apocalyptic North American grand strategy game owes more to study of the Bronze Age collapse. Its tribes treat the "ancients" as a mysterious empire, asking why they died if they could do anything with science. Each campaign simulates 100 years of calamity, with map generation choosing from several regional disasters that leave different scars.

    Leave It To Control Resonant To Make City Buses Scary

    In Control Resonant, a recurring miniboss called the Hiss Transporter is a vertically floating city bus front that glows red, slams the ground with shockwaves, and spawns waves of Hiss Passengers fused with bus seats. Players must clear the Passengers exposed on both sides before destroying the Transporter in an explosion. It is another example of developer Remedy Entertainment turning ordinary objects into fantastical threats, continuing the Altered Items and Objects of Power concept from the first Control.

    I Really Want to Get Back into The Witcher 3 but I Have Save Game Anxiety

    A Polygon writer wants to return to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for its free Remastered update and next year's Songs of the Past expansion, but can't decide which of his many saves to resume. His options include a PlayStation save stuck mid-Blood and Wine, a four-year-old Steam Death March save parked before a boss, and several earlier runs. Because the Remastered update reworks combat and skill trees, every save except a fresh one refunds skill points and requires rebuilding the character, so he leans toward starting Blood and Wine with a premade character.
