Blaze through the sky with Dragon Pow, a new shooter RPG on Android. Following a successful open beta, Boltray Games just dropped this game that’s full of colours and chaos. A while ago, they opened up pre-registration with rewards as good as $400 Amazon gift cards. Were you one of the lucky winners?  

Lo-FI Games' free-roaming RPG Kenshi has sold over 2.3 million copies on steam

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is about the journey, not the destination. It’s about exploring routes you’ve never taken before, camping in the wilderness, and having an unexpected run in with a Minotaur. Quests objectives are also left intentionally vague, forcing you to puzzle things out and speak to as many people as you can. If you could just easily fast travel to obvious quest markers you could certainly check them off your list more efficiently, but then you’d miss out entirely on the adventure of getting there.

Based on credit listings at videogame documentation site MobyGames, action RPG Dragon's Dogma 2 may have had around a quarter of the headcount compared to other AAA Capcom releases in recent years.

@ApostateMage haha these moments are the best. This is the location I had wandered off to while getting side tracked from everything else. I went in a sorcerer (I think) and came back as a Magick Archer, then switched to thief at Bakbhattal after i'd levelled up to about MA lv5.

@Splat You aren’t really. The game is designed to be played multiple times so if you can’t stumble upon it, theoretically that is what NG+ is for.

Eremite Games’ Against the Storm exited early access back in December, launching for PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store. The positive feedback has helped because it recently sold over one million units on Steam alone.

I really wish they would put a checkmark next to a dungeon after you have cleared them. I want to do them all and it makes it a real pain.
