If you browse the catalogue of games available as part of Sony’s PlayStation Plus service, you’ll see that the critically acclaimed puzzle sensation Blue Prince is classified as a “quick adventure.” This is a lie on par with saying that you can find a Mew under the truck by the S.S. Anne in...

This Ghostly Bound Sword Is Oblivion Remastered’s Strongest Two-Handed Blade
1.7.2025
When tracking down Oblivion Remastered’s best greatsword, one would likely check the armorer first, right? Wrong! It’s at the Mage’s Guild of all places. You see, the best two-handed sword isn’t a sword at all, it’s an illusion. A trick of the eye that deals damage like a physical object. Oh,...
