Game of the Week: ‘Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2’
It’s a simple, hack-and-slasher shooter, but it’s so well done, so fun, and has so much attention to detail.
I have always liked the Dragon Age franchise: a dark fantasy RPG from the makers of Mass Effect, where you band a group of companions together to take on some vicious, evil, world-ending threat. It could never compete with the Mass Effect trilogy, but those games were some of the greatest ever made; but maybe, with enough time, Dragon Age could get to that level.
This year, the launch of Dragon Age: Veilguard showed that wasn’t true. Its dialogue was so bad — filled with virtue-signaling corporate HR exposition — that it went viral for all the wrong issues, and you couldn’t even ignore it and just enjoy the game because it wasn’t very good. The combat was dull and lazy, the characters were uninteresting, and the world felt boring.
