Hayes is legit one of the best journalists and most amazing people I know. Hiring him is the smartest decision you could ever make.
Inverse's Gaming section is being shut down as the company "divests" from gaming content. I'm out of a job along with my wonderful co-writers. I've put my heart and soul into this job for four years. Gonna need to take time to process, but I'm now completely open for work - and boy do I need it.

We released a bunch of new screenshots for DQVII Reimagined earlier today and one of them shows off my favorite dad-joke-named ability in the game: Coral Grief.
Only a few weeks until launch! 😊

I heard Dispatch was good, but I didn’t think it would be THAT good. Damn, what a game!

Please humor me as I post a very dramatic thread about how much I adore Ghost of Yotei.
I just finished the game and not only is it one of the best open-world games I’ve ever played, it’s genuinely skirting up against my favorite games of all time.
I know, I know, but I really, really loved it.

OMG I am obsessed with how excited this fox is to see me in Ghost of Yōtei. Listen to him! 😂

The most relatable thing in Ghost of Yōtei is when Atsu tries to take a nice, relaxing bath and her pet is all up in her business.

Metroid Prime 4 complete!
Final verdict: It’s great! I do understand some of the criticisms about the back half, but that wasn’t enough to ruin all the very bright spots.
Series ranking: 1 > 3 > 2 > 4
(But keep in mind they are all good to me. Metroid is the best.)

This is a little bit of a spoiler, but this boss was *awesome* — especially what you do to it at the very end. 🙌🏻

Now that I have two working arms again, I can finally tackle something a little more action-heavy.
I’ve been hyped to play this for so long! One of my favorite series ever!

Finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
It’s an incredible game with fantastic characters and one of the best battle systems I’ve ever experienced in a turn-based RPG.
Totally understand the hype and all the awards love. Still shocked I didn’t get some of the major story beats spoiled for me. 😭

For the penultimate part of Remade, I talked to Masaaki Hayasaka, producer of both the HD-2D games and DQ7 Reimagined. Talking about how a series with sucha rich history approaches remakes, and "who" are these remakes for? www.inverse.com/gaming/remak...
'Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined' Producer Says 'A Remake Has Succeeded Once It Cements Itself As A New 'Original'
Inverse talks to the producer of Dragon Quest's wave of recent remakes, focusing in on what the role of a "remake" should be in the first place.

I know I’m completely biased, but I just finished DQ I & II HD-2D and was totally blown away. It’s easily one of my favorite remakes ever and even better than DQIII.
If you’ve never played a DQ game, this trilogy is the perfect place to start.
Bravo, Hayasaka-san. 👏🏻

I worked so hard on this cover and freaked out when I saw it on the shelf. And it had premium placement! 😭
