I really hope to get to this some day. I played the original on release and its dark fantasy world really drew me in. It's on the shelf; I just need to find the time!
#DragonAge: Inquisition was out 11 years ago (2014)!🐉 With a long but engrossing narrative and lore, BioWare took ideas from its Mass Effect's sci-fi universe and worked them into a fantasy realm, with lots to do amidst gorgeous art direction.

It was great to be invited to check out Starbites by @nisamerica.bsky.social and Ikina Games. I can't wait to see the finished product next year!
It's a cruel and dusty desert world, but if you have company in good friends fihting alongside you, then things won't feel too desolate! 🤖 We got to see mecha RPG #Starbites in action.

Bit late on this, but wanted to post about how much I adore F. I haven't finished all runs, but it's a perfect game for as a long-term Silent Hill fan, truly rivalling the best in the series. From the unique Japanese 1960s setting, to the excellent script and Japanese voice acting, it has it all.

Not the same town, but it looks just as scary! Not going to lie, I'm nervous to even put this in the drive. #silenthill

My last review from a couple of days back. A truly great read about a very important game, albeit one I hadn't thought about for some time.
#EverQuest was a big deal in the earlier days of online gaming, but we can see the ripples it still sent out to games we see today. Boss Fight Books gives us another comprehensive look at this era-defining MMORPG experience. 📚

It's my latest, everybody!
Arriving 'fashionaaabluh' late as a #Switch2 release, #BravelyDefault is an excellent, even somewhat punishing, throwback #RPG with some great twists to make the journey worth it. 🦋

Just watched the latest episode of Doctor Who and as a long-term fan, I am absolutely destroyed. @junodawson.bsky.social is such a great writer (we listened to Redacted as a family and loved it) and she knocked it out of the park. I never thought the Eurovision story would be my favourite so far.

I had a great time with @bladesoffire.bsky.social. This game has the potential to be one of the best surprises of the year.
#BladesofFire comes from publisher 505 Games (Eiyuden Chronicle, Stardew Valley) and developer MercurySteam (who helped with the latest #Metroid games) that has an interesting take on weapon forging and degradation that'll require intuitive play!

Half way through Persona 3 Reload, I've taken a break to return to the world of Cold Steel II, to finally finish the bloomin thing off. Once that's done, I'll have a mere five games left until I'm totally caught up. Yay?

Representing @rpgfan.bsky.social today, trying my hand at blacksmithing, courtesy of @bladesoffire.bsky.social! I managed not to catch fire, so I count that as a win.

Really saddened by this. I met her once many years ago with my now wife, and she seemed like a great person. Gone way too soon.

Lots of love for these in my house today! My eldest is set on getting the Cloud card.
Here's a first look at the Commander Deck cards for the #FinalFantasy x Magic The Gathering set! Arriving this June, the collaboration promises to represent all of the mainline games and they seem to be teasing a Yoshitaka Amano illustration as well. 🎨 #MTG

Look what arrived a day early! I'm nowhere near the stage of playing Trails Through Daybreak II, but I can never say no to a @falcom.co.jp collector's edition from @nisamerica.bsky.social! It is truly a thing of beauty.
