Gary Hartley Writes: Dogma is a large game spread over a sizable map that it’s quite insistent you explore fully. Though the Dark Arisen update makes exploration easier by providing collectible portals you can strategically place around the map to use as quick travel points, it really prefers that you go everywhere on foot. Such journeys are often long and fraught with danger, relying on Dogma’s night/day cycle to mix up the threats. Pedestrian worries like bandits and roving goblin gangs threaten travelers during the day, while the undead are more likely to be found seizing the night. Initial exploration into unknown territory is often an adventure in itself, with long forgotten camps or razed strongholds to sometimes stumble across and explore. Or you can just wait for a quest to come along and force you in that direction. There’s always some excuse to head west, but moments when you find something new are exhilarating. Discoveries bleed into one another, daring you to risk pushing a little further into the unknown.
Ahead of Dragon's Dogma 2's global release, the first iteration in the series by Capcom has been discounted by 84% on Steam.
Teardown out today, November 15, all other titles available from November 21.
Grandia is especially nice, as I don't think it's available on psn atm. Wonder if it's a psx port or the Switch version.
If they didn't despise ps2, they could have added Grandia 2-3 as well.
It's not a despise. Far as I've read their working on better emulation. It'll come.
Been thinking of getting Teardown on Steam for Steam Deck play. Heard a lot of great reviews for it.
Played the first half hour last night. All I did was wreck a building but what a blast.
Nothing of interest for me. My sub is up in 2 weeks & I'll go with Essentials only for cloud saves & online. Having Extra or Premium is a waste for me seeing most games that land on the service are old that I've played already or old games I never had any interest in playing.
Respect your opinion, just pointing out that Teardown is a Day One Extra release for PS, not an old game in this case. Gotham Knights last month was a year old.
I have no interest in Teardown. I bought & played Gotham Knights when it was first released in October 2022. Every month I'm always buying the latest AAA or AA games when they first release to play on my PS5, the very reason why Extra & Premium is a waste of money for me.
Baldur’s Gate is a name synonymous with party-based fantasy RPG games. There’s still a stretch of time until the third instalment finally leaves early access. While you’re waiting for the gates to open and welcome you to Forgotten Realms, you might be looking for similar games to ease the wait.
In my personal opinion, Divinity Original Sin 2 is better than any of the Baldur's Gate games.
Are you including BG3 in that comparison? Or just the first 2? The first 2 are tough to get into now, and I never liked the ad&d rules. The 5e rules are much easier to grasp. But BG3 seems to be just DOS2 but times 10. Haven't played it in early access at all, just going by what I see online.
hilarious because the game that is most like BG3 and a game every DND fan should try is Solasta and its not even on this list
