Pokemon games are at an all-time low.Pokemon Scarlet & Violethave a few redeeming qualities, but are largely terrible. From the unfinished textures to the horrific framerate drops and disgraceful pop-in, these games straight up don’t work. But at least thePokemonbattles are fun, right? Right? As well as being broken and poorly optimised, Scarlet & Violet offered no challenge whatsoever.

But isn’t Arkane abandoning its immersive sim roots? After rumors thatDishonored 3was in development, isn’t it bad to see that Arkane is actually making a licensed game? Doesn’t this represent the end of the triple-A immersive sim as we know it?...
Baldur’s Gate 3fans have been hard at work addinga whole load of different species to the game, but usually, they’re pulled from the incredibly wide variety of existingDungeons & Dragonsoptions. ghouls0rules is stepping out of that multiverse entirely, bringingThe Elder Scrolls’dunmer to the Sword Coast. We visited their homeland inMorrowind, got called outlanders and n’wah, and were subjected to ashy wastes as we navigated half-naked skooma addicts, hoards of cliff racers, and bloodthirsty politics....
