Final Fantasy VII  has a sound that isn’t loops, it’s not drums. It’s Aerith’s steps in the Forgotten Capital: a drumroll of silence that pits against a piano refusing to start. The only score is measured in breaths and blank measures, a score that wouldn’t play if you stood still. The death comes fast, no checkpoint to undo it, and the world has to keep spinning after. I was too young to know that endings were real. The game served the truth before the real world ever did. When I left the forest for the first funeral years later, I flipped the CD back to that city. The crowdless streets were still spread like a mirror, only the surface this time rippled with my own empty echo. The melody had pattered in for one song and left at my cue. That was the moment when the PlayStation taught me that a game disc could carry the weight of grief. Not a shiny collectible or a tricky jump, but a deep, aching absence that sits in the chest for hours afterward. The Weight of Worlds: PlayStatio...

A Story That Knows Its Boundaries Mafia: The Old Country feels like a breath of fresh, dusty air because it skips all the modern game nonsense we can expect. No scavenger hunts. No pointless races. No annoying fetch requests. Just the main plot, coiled like a taut wire, ready for you to bite. You can practically swallow the whole thing in one sitting—quick, no fuss—right when others fatten their worlds with busywork. The opening chapters do shuffle and stall, drowning in set-up and atmosphere, but the second the engine roars, the story just goes and doesn’t look back. In a moment when most games stuff their hollow “content” to milk loops, this feels like a silent, proud blast from the past. The game’s quiet ace is that punch of shortness that feels tougher than it looks. It never hires the fat, never pretends to be anything grand. The plot slices through the familiar scar of mob kitsch and, by not hanging around, somehow makes that scar glow. What really hooks you in The Old Country...

The first time I booted up a Dynasty Warriors game, I was twelve, and I still remember the crack of the controller against my palms. I swung my peasant-turned-general through a row of spearmen like a weedwhacker through sunflowers, and the sound effects made the kills feel musical. The battlefield was a stage, mud and gore replaced by fireworks—each slash was a solo, each charge a blazing encore. Fast-forward to  Dynasty Warriors: Origins , and the pyrotechnics are still burning, but now the firelight casts a shadow, and I feel its heat much closer to the skin. This time the game asks me to choose: not just which neck to snap, but which banner to kneel under, which brother to back, which future to bleed for. The story kicks off, like too many wars, with someone else’s fire: the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Instead of troops, I pick a blank slate—no name, no past, just empty arms and a pointy stick. The rebellion surges up like a bad cough, and I’m the cough drop, being ...

Let’s get one thing straight: I’ve been burned before. I’ve trudged through bloated maps, endured fetch quests that felt like unpaid internships, and watched beloved franchises morph into soulless content farms. Assassin’s Creed taught me that lesson the hard way. I still remember the first time I climbed the tower in Acre as Altair—pure magic. Now? I’m serenaded by longship karaoke while Eivor grunts through another recycled side quest. So when I say these five open-world RPGs on Xbox Series X are worth your time, assuming you buy Xbox games , I mean they mostly respect your intelligence, your patience, and your love for actual game design. Let’s dive into the few that still remember what immersion feels like. ‍️1. Elden Ring — The Gold Standard for Open-World Design That Doesn’t Hold Your Hand If you’ve ever screamed internally while a game tutorial explained how to jump for the fifth time, Elden Ring is your antidote. FromSoftware doesn’t care if you’re ready. It throws you int...

MotoGP - A Franchise That Keeps Evolving The MotoGP series has long occupied a coveted place in the hearts of motorcycle racing fans, and we have written about Milestone's games since we started the blog (I believe the earliest is the MotoGP 20 review). Riding bikes is fun, in real life and on-screen: blistering speed with a level of technical finesse that only two wheels can demand. With MotoGP 25 , the studio once again sets out to refine the formula, negotiating that ever-elusive middle ground between the demands of the garage-mechanic purist and the weekend-road enthusiast. As someone who has watched the series grow since its first jump to consoles, I found the equilibrium it strikes between simulation grit and welcoming polish both unexpected and rewarding. This review will unpack both the triumphs and the concessions of this installment through the following lenses: the friction between die-hard realism and user-friendly design, the surprise staying powe...
