Extraneum is a bit Doom, a tiny bit System Shock, and a huge bit fun
Bring your slaughter to work day
The old school FPS revival has largely left me cold, if I'm honest. Even the ones I've enjoyed tend to get old within an hour. Most of the things that get recreated aren't the things I miss about 90s games, and if they were... Doom still exists, you know? So does Blood, and Strife, and Quake was never that good anyway.
Extraneum is good, though. …

Starfield's big reveal helped suppress my inner skeptic
Can't take me anywhere
We finally got our first glimpse of Starfield at the Xbox & Bethesda showcase at Summer Geoff Fest, having seen lots of clips of Todd Howard speaking words with devs who nodded across tables. I partly share the same opinion as Alice Bee, who thought the game could've shown us anything and they chose grey rocks again.
What I wasn't expecting was to feel …

What happens when you make a Crusader Kings 3 ruler with every stat set to max?
The Age of Men is over. The Time of Gigaknight has come.
The Vatican City, 1146 AD, and 90 years into a game of Crusader Kings III. As the doors of the conclave chamber are sealed, a ring of hangdog cardinals stare miserably at each other in the sudden gloom. It is time, once again, to choose a new Pope. Once, this would have been a gathering seething with the ambitions of powerful men. Now, it …
