Arc Raiders is a type of game called an extraction shooter. What’s interesting about this genre is how diverse it’s become, especially compared to battle royale games like Fortnite, Warzone, and PUBG. Those games all feel pretty similar under the surface, but extraction shooters like Wildgate, Hunt: Showdown, and Escape from Tarkov are all quite different from each other. They all create a constant tension for players: do you risk everything for better loot, or play it safe and escape with what you have? It’s a decision based on instinct and feeling, more than careful planning.

Players can compete in elimination-style tournaments, going head-to-head with both real NBA players and imaginative, made-up characters. The game combines traditional basketball action with unique and surprising pairings. Longtime NBA Street announcer Bobbito Garcia is back to call the games.

Dragon Quest I & II HD Remake brings the first two games of the Erdrick trilogy to modern platforms with updated graphics – Square Enix’s signature 2D characters over 3D backgrounds. After revisiting these games after over 20 years, I was impressed by how much work went into updating them, including improved gameplay and expanded storylines with more dialogue and events. However, even with these improvements, one game in the collection is noticeably better than the other, though neither quite reaches the quality of the previous Dragon Quest release.

In a recent interview with GamesRadar, Yoko Hamaguchi stated that video games often benefit from some form of environmental guidance. While visual cues like yellow paint can be helpful, the core idea is simply to provide players with subtle assistance when they’re unsure of where to go or what to do.

Let’s be honest: something strange is happening. As Atsu climbs the mountain, the path turns from rock to a white, messy substance at the peak. You might try to explain it away as chalk or paint, but there’s always a bird that flies off right when you arrive. Is it just a coincidence that this bird is always there, seemingly multitasking with a rather large… deposit?

I’ve spent about 50 hours playing Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake – 20 hours to finish the first game and 30 hours into the second. While these are great RPGs, as a longtime fan, what really stands out is how much these feel like completely new games, built using the foundations of the originals. Dragon Quest III HD-2D gave us a glimpse of this approach – a blend of classic and modern gameplay – but it felt like just a preview. I had a feeling they were planning something even bigger, and these remakes of I and II prove it. They’re expansive and reimagined versions of the games we knew.
