    Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but Harry Potter

    You'd think that title is maybe hyperbolic, but this game "feels" very Witcher 3 - both in scope and execution. The combat is more akin to Mass Effect 3. If that sounds like your cup of tea, and you like Harry Potter, th... Read Full Review

    I'm a wizard

    Look, I was in discussion about this game for MONTHS leading up to its release due to JK Rowling being a transphobe and the impacts that has on the LGBTQIA+ communities, however this game was exactly what my younger-self... Read Full Review
