I have been sick these past few weeks, but Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma has been a pretty cozy companion! I think the game is a fantastic next step for the #RuneFactory franchise. Azuma fully utilized everything that made the franchise distinct from other #cozygames!

#Pragmata remains one of my standouts from Summer Game Fest, despite being overlooked by many! It has been in development hell, and #Capcom could've pulled the plug on it, but they didn't. They must've seen something about the game that's worth investing in!

Was waking up at 3 AM to watch #SummerGameFest live worth it? Debatable. Was #Capcom trolling us about #ResidentEvil Requiem's reveal worth it? Absolutely.

I died and came back when Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles was announced earlier! Some people are disappointed it wasn't like FF7 Remake, but it's hard to fully "remake" a genuine piece of art. Maybe someday!

I finally tried out the demo for #DISPATCH and it's definitely one of my most anticipated games of the year! From natural, seamless writing to the vibrant animation, everything about it just... works. There are times I genuinely forgot it was a game and not an animated show! #gaming #videogames

CD Projekt RED just shared a tech demo for The #Witcher4, and all I could think about is how breathtaking Ciri looks! I'll never understand how people would look at her and say she's ugly. Absolute delusion! Anyway, the Unreal tech looks cool too.

I don't know how they did it, but Shift Up was able to convince #PlayStation to lift the region blocks for #StellarBlade! Around 100+ countries, including ours, are now able to buy and eventually play the game on PC. We're glad Shift Up listened and found a way!

I finally remembered what may have inspired this amazing Celesteela card art from #PokemonTCGPocket!

I got bored, so here's Major Lio Partagaz grabbing a cold one courtesy of our favorite Chilean lager. #Andor #StarWars

I've been replaying Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire recently, and I was shocked at the many little details that connect it to #Avowed! Lödwyn was an extremely minor character from a small, random side quest in Deadfire. She then shows up as a major character in Avowed, and I had no idea until now!

I am sorry, but that scene in #TheLastofUs finale really felt like a transition to a Game Over screen.

I've been looking into Crimson Desert recently, and it just looks too good to be true! Korean games have this stereotype where they often have a catch. I hope Crimson Desert doesn't end up like that and be actually good. #videogames #gaming

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End has the artistry, emotions, and grandeur that many forms of media can only dream of accomplishing. Solo Leveling can take those #Crunchyroll Awards,but Frieren will remain as a cultural milestone that is already inspiring the future of #anime and storytelling.

I am a couple of hours into Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, and its genuinely living up to the hype! The game is pretty much the indie game version of the #ElderScrolls in all the right ways. #RPG #Gaming

I recently got to play #Battlefront2 again, and despite having a horrible launch back in 2017, it's still one of the best pieces of #StarWars media out there! The game just perfectly captured the look and feel of Star Wars, even during chaotic multiplayer moments!

#DanDaDan Season 2 is looking good! The Evil Eye arc was where Yukinobu Tatsu flexed his art, especially his mastery of speed and motion lines. I am really curious about how Science SARU is going to adapt Tatsu's panels! #anime #manga

The Southeast Asian scene is getting a chance at the spotlight at this year's #SummerGameFest! Expect reveals, trailers, and updates from over 45 #indiegames crafted with love by developers across the region. Mark your calendars because you just might find your next favorite indie game there! ☀️

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is turning a decade old, and it remains one of the greatest #videogames ever released! Despite its expansive world and nearly limitless interactivity, #Witcher3 was still able to deliver a captivating story from beginning to end.

Kojima out here about to invent the next big evolution of mobile gacha games: "If you wait too long your waifu might forget about you!"

It looks like #PlayStation is at it again. #StellarBlade (Steam) is currently blocked in 129 countries, and it seems Shift Up didn't know about it either. It's also worth mentioning that Helldivers 2 is still region-locked despite getting rid of the PSN requirements.

I think #Doom: The Dark Ages might be my favorite entry in the franchise so far! I always considered the Slayer as this unstoppable tank and Dark Ages' gameplay perfectly captured that. Also loved that id Software finally added a cohesive narrative in this one! #gaming

#Andor perfectly captures the emotions, struggles, and sacrifices of ordinary people keeping hope alive against a government hell-bent on suppressing them. People who, even in the face of darkness, finds a way for hope to survive and burn even brighter. Peak #StarWars.

The Philippines election has been crazy recently, but what's crazier is that we finally elected a senator who played (and likely finished) Elden Ring!

i'm so thrilled to share this piece on how video game sex scenes are made — and even more thrilled to see it on @404media.co!!! sex has been a part of games across its history, but often to provoke to as a joke. others are trying something different:

Happy Mother's Day to all you hot moms out there! You deserve all the love and relaxation in the world! ✨

"What kind of #Pope are you?"

While a little disappointed with its focus on multiplayer, I am still looking forward to #EldenRing Nightreign. The potential connection of its lore to the original game is particularly intriguing! Also, the visuals are looking great so far!

I've been in plenty of political protests and demonstrations over the years. Episode 08 of #Andor Season 2 perfectly captures that sense of dread you get moments before things get violent. Peak #StarWars.

A new #GTAVI trailer just dropped and it looks phenomenal! I am really loving the whole Bonnie and Clyde in Vice City concept! I am also starting to see where the $2 billion development cost went.

In celebration of May the Fourth and Revenge of the Fifth, here is a fun montage of iconic #StarWars games released over the years! Here's to more #videogames set in the galaxy far, far away!

Video game publishers and developers looking at the rest of 2025: #Gaming #Videogames

"The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy" is definitely one of my biggest #gaming surprises of the year so far! It's bloody, brutal, and narratively insane. A textbook example of a game studio going all out!

What really impressed me about Gundam GQuuuuuuX is how it subtly adapted scenes from the original 1979 #anime! The attention to detail insane too! Many of the adapted scenes in GQuuuuuuX had their context reversed. For example, it's the "antagonist" of the original that found the titular #Gundam.

"Scarlet" is the next #movie from renowned #anime director Mamoru Hosoda (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars)! In a place called "Land of the Dead,” a princess embarks on a quest to avenge her father's murder and reach "The Endless Place." Sounds like a FromSoftware game!

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 borrowed Asian-style storytelling where heroes fight Gods and concepts, while still maintaining its Western fantasy roots. A beautiful narrative Yin and Yang. #Gaming #RPG

Why is everyone in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 so freakin' hot?! It's all so distracting! 😤

The one thing I love about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is that despite being a love letter to JRPGs, it doesn't deny its French roots! It borrows and innovates from many timeless Japanese games, but it doesn't masquerade as one. #Gaming #RPG

I love that #PlayStation and Sucker Punch decided to release a new Ghost of Yotei trailer on a random weekday! The game looks beautiful and they're doing a fantastic job with showcasing the vibrant colors of Hokkaido. Also glad to see some Ainu representation! #Gaming

I always wanted a #StarWars XCOM, and Zero Company is shaping up to be exactly like one! 🟩 Turn-based strategy. 🟩 Create and customize characters 🟩 Gameplay and story consequences 🟩 Permadeath I am tired of Clone Wars era narratives, but if it has the gameplay to carry the story then I am in!

Happy Easter

Just in case you missed it, "WcDonald's" recently released four impressive #anime shorts made by Studio Pierrot (Naruto, Black Clover)! It's pretty cool that we are now at a time where Mcdonald's is actively leaning in on its anime counterpart.

The Elder Scrolls #Oblivion remake is looking really good based on the leaks, but I am still dreaming of a fully remade #Skyrim using lore-accurate maps and scale like this one!

Guys literally only want one thing and it's fucking disgusting #ChainsawMan

Lushfoil Photography Sim by Matt Newell and Annapurna is my most anticipated game of the season! It's a breathtaking photography simulator with highly detailed virtual renders of real life locations. #gaming #indiegames
