Thalion: The First Year

The Switch 2's launch lineup might have been missing a 3D Mario or Zelda game, but it was more exciting than the original Switch's anyway

The true dark fantasy of The Relic: First Guardian is all of the potential it squanders; an energetic action game marred by its own shambolic state and broken in too many inexcusable ways.

Paralives' August patch notes provide information on the game's highly anticipated expansion, and it remains free as promised.

In an age where single-player first-person shooters are slowly going extinct because they only make money for their publisher once while multiplayer live-service shooters vie for our time and attention on a daily basis (and often contain lots of bullsh*t, like microtransactions and/or drawn-out gameplay loops), Metro 2039’s single-player-only craftsmanship and attention to detail after my first few hours with it have me already prepared to call it my favorite first-person shooter in a long time.

The tracks that started it all.
