EverQuest II: Tears of Veeshan

"Be curious on your journey" sounds like gentle advice — until you realize Outer Wilds built an entire game around ignoring the "gentle" part

Admittedly, I am a very specific type of guy.

If you haven’t played South Park: The Stick of Truth, it is absolutely not too late. The graphics look exactly like the show, so they haven’t really aged at all. In fact, as a 12-hour RPG, The Stick of Truth is like playing a long season of the show. Parker and Stone’s fingerprints are all over this thing, with Obsidian’s game-building and genre expertise underpinning the whole thing. I dare you not to laugh hysterically at the Underpants Gnome boss fight, the scene with Mr. Slave, the Canada section, and so many more.

Need a case for your Switch or Switch 2? This Tears of the Kingdom-themed cross-body bag works for either one, and it happens to be on sale.

10 years later, this is still the hardest platinum trophy I’ve ever earned.
