They can be memorable experiences with some of the most finely crafted stories in the medium that you’ll think about for years to come, all because they understand the importance of gradual world-building and character writing that trusts you to piece their disparate pieces together yourself....

In FromSoftware’s games, it is often better to dodge attacks than to try and tank them. But even the best players are going to get hit every once in a while, a fact that is more true inElden Ringthan in any of their previous games thanks to bosses like Malenia, whose attacks are difficult to dodge no matter how easy challenge runners make it look.

The last game I played for that long wasHitman 3— which is the rare live-service game to get its hooks in me (or, rather, its garrote around my neck)....
