Editorial Content
The Outer Worlds 2 offers some admirable design choices and a wider, more impressive scope. Unfortunately, Jordan McClain finds that it falls tonally flat, while numerous bugs and glitches weigh down the game’s ambition and central elements.
Tiny Bull Studio’s The Lonesome Guild wears its themes of loneliness and community on its sleeve. Sam Wachter reports in spite of the game’s valuable and important themes, it struggles to back it up with its gameplay.
Sam Wachter also gives her thoughts on Wander Stars. The game offers ’90s nostalgia with an intriguing battle system, though performance issues on the Switch hold it back from greatness.
Chained Echoes is a vibrant, retro-styled RPG that impressed with its intriguing combat system when it released in 2022. Pascal Tekaia finds that its Ashes of Elrant is a worthwhile addition to the overall package, even if the length of time to its release might cause some disconnects.
Ezra Kinnell reports Shrine’s Legacy does an excellent job of echoing SNES-era RPGs. However, some design elements fail its otherwise compelling package.
