Started from the top and now we’re here
If someone pitched a roguelite to you, odds are you wouldn’t expect it to be an extreme sports biking game.

Good grief
Games are so often filled with death, and it's reached a point where we don't even really think about it.

Ray tracing is being pushed as a PlayStation 5 feature, but it will also be present in the PS4 Pro version of Crysis Remastered.

Eden prime
Manifold Garden is one of those games that, in the same vein as Journey and Inside, can be considered an "experience" more than anything else.
