    Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Already Has a Fix for Its Worst Dungeon, and It's Not the Water Temple (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    For the longest time, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's Water Temple has been hailed the game's worst dungeon, and for a number of reasons. The primary culprit behind this claim was the Iron Boots, which had to be equipped and unequipped so often that by the time you were finally finished with the Water Temple, you almost didn't want to play the game anymore. Fortunately, the Ocarina of Time remake has "fixed" the original's inventory management issues by adopting Breath of the Wild's item

    Final Fantasy 7 Revelation's Auto-Level System Shows What The Witcher 3 Got Right 11 Years Ago (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    As a longtime Final Fantasy fan and one who has thoroughly enjoyed the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy so far (regardless of what some might say), I am anxiously awaiting the release of the third and final entry in the trilogy, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation. I'm certainly not alone in my love for Final Fantasy 7—although I would love to see a remake of FF6 or FF9 as well—and the more I hear about what it's bringing to the table, the more I salivate at the prospect of playing it. Final Fantasy 7 Reve

    10 Most Anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 Games Releasing in October 2026 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    The Nintendo Switch 2 has already had an incredibly busy 2026, but October is by far one of the more interesting months the console has seen so far, simply because the lineup is so diverse. There are several RPGs coming to the Switch 2 throughout the month, including a brand-new Final Fantasy and an expanded version of Dragon's Dogma 2, but horror fans are also getting quite a bit to choose from with Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival and Hell Is Us. Then, right in the middle of all of that, Cal

    6 Best NES RPGs With Progression Systems That Still Hold Up Today, Ranked (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I think it's easy to look back at RPGs from the NES era and assume their progression systems probably amount to little more than fighting enough enemies to gain a level, buying the next strongest weapon in town, and then doing the whole thing over again until the credits roll. To be fair, there are plenty of games from the era where that isn't too far from the truth. However, there are also some NES RPGs that were already doing things with character progression that games are still doing today,

    New Zelda Meets Graveyard Keeper Horror RPG on Steam Is Delightfully Unnerving (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I honestly can't remember the last time I played a game like Neverway. In fact, let me just confidently say here that I don't think I ever have. Believe me, I've played a lot of very strange, deeply unsettling games before, but after spending around an hour with Neverway's prologue on Steam alone, I'm not sure any of them even come close. It's not just the mood, either. It's the way every part of the game comes together into this well-oiled, nightmarish machine that is just unnerving enough to,
