  Baldur's Gate 3 is an absolutely massive game, and as such, I've come to terms with the fact that we're simply never going to find every single reference, Easter egg, wink, and nod developer Larian has tucked away within its code. In many ways, there's something exciting in knowing that, despite sinking 400+ hours into the game, there is inevitably going to be something that surfaces and surprises me. That said, I can't say I was expecting anything quite like this "one more thing."Following a po

  Snowpiercer is a fun watch, but I don't think I ever would have thought to use the concept of the movie for a PvPvE first-person shooter. But that's what Enginefall feels like, and it makes for one of the more interesting shooters I've previewed over the past year, especially with how it uses mechanics and features from the extraction subgenre. When it comes to Enginefall, so far, I most enjoy how it creates incentives for players to approach each new area with either violence or peace, and rewa
