Frequently asked
Where should I start if I've never played a game with strategic choice-making?
Dispatch is an accessible entry point — its superhero workplace comedy framing centres on who you send to emergencies and how you manage office relationships, so the strategy emerges naturally from the story rather than demanding prior genre experience. Split Fiction is also ideal as a story-driven co-op experience with no prior knowledge required.
Is Hollow Knight: Silksong playable without having finished the original Hollow Knight?
You play as Hornet, a hunter exploring all-new lands, so Hollow Knight: Silksong is built around its own journey — though familiarity with the world of the original enriches the experience.
What makes Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 stand out among 2025's RPGs?
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 anchors its premise in something genuinely unusual: a Paintress who wakes each year and erases everyone of a particular age, with that number ticking down annually. It makes survival feel urgent and gives every battle a clear narrative weight.
