Welcome to the 2024 addition to Bethesda’s epic Elder Scrolls Online. ESO continues to be a game I return to on a regular basis.
A solid, grindy, MMORPG. I have covered a plethora of these add-on releases for the the base game, ESO: Tamriel Unlimited since 2015. I can’t help but feel that if you haven’t got into ESO by now then you probably never will.

After 10 years of playing Destiny, being confronted with sitting down at my keyboard to “Review” the penultimate, era-ending expansion, is quite a daunting task.
After the rocky start in 2014, Destiny grew into my comfort food, my hang-out joint and the bane of my life. And in 2024 with the “Light and Dark Saga” coming to a close, what the hell do I do now!?

Remakes of old games usually do a couple of things for me. They remind me what an amazing experience a particular classic game was back in the day. Highlighting just how “ahead of its time” it was.
Conversely, said Remakes if not done with enough modern vigour, have a damaging effect on my rose-tinted glasses, laying bare how very far video game design has actually come.

I can’t remember a more anticipated title release with less marketing than Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice from 2017 was an award winning hit. So it can as no surprise we have a sequel, but to have such a low key release is just downright strange.
Maybe with it releasing Day 1 onto Game Pass was the reason?

Tactical Turn-Based games like Classified: France ’44 Back were all the rage back in the day. With the likes of XCOM, Jagged Alliance, and Battle Tech leading the pack for me, I loved them.
Thankfully Classified: France ‘44, from Team17, keeps the ball rolling with a great interpretation of the classic WWII Turn-Based Tactical game.

It’s fair to say that the Prince of Persia series – first introduced to the world by game designer Jordan Mechner in 1989 – is perhaps one of my favourite series.
The Lost Crown has gone back to its roots (visually, at least).

I remember when the first Avatar movie came out. It was mind blowing. Well, the visuals were anyway.
And, although there has been previous Avatar base games, what we all want is that same level of visual fidelity that is portrayed in the movies. Thankfully with the release of Avatar – Frontiers of Pandora, that is something we do get.

Wartales is an open-world, tactical turn-based RPG and it surprised me out of the gate. It’s a subtle mix of Banner Saga, Baulders Gate and even some Skyrimesque freedom too.
Not what I expected from a game I had never heard of.
