Kirby Air Riders is one of the strangest racers I've ever played, but it's one that I expect I'll be very into www.thegamer.com/kirby-air-ri...
Be Warned: Kirby Air Riders Is Nothing Like Mario Kart
Kirby Air Riders isn't like any other kart racer, which could end up being its biggest strength or biggest weakness.

Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment (also known as Jade takes far too many screenshots of Zelda simulator) delivers when it comes to fierce combat and heartfelt storytelling.
It's a surprisingly evocative prequel to Tears of the Kingdom that shakes up the musou formula in some worthwhile ways.

Eric was such a big part of the team and was the face of TheGamer in the US. He worked so hard and cared so much. Please hire him!!
After 6 years with TheGamer, Valnet has decided to shut down features and lay off the entire team, including me.
I don't know what's next for me but I intend to stay in games, whether that's at another outlet, consulting, or PR. If you have any leads, I'd appreciate any help

Unfortunately, my time as an Editor for TheGamer.com has come to an end.
I met some of the best coworkers I've ever had there, I learned and grew a lot.
If anyone is looking for a journo, especially for guides, reviews, VR, horror, and farming RPGs, I'd love to hear from you.

If anyone who was laid off from TheGamer today has a piece they were working on and need a home for, Skybox wants to hear from you, and we pay pretty well.
We can't make up for you being laid off, but we'll do what we can.
