The latest iteration of Pokémon to hit the Switch, Pokémon Legends: Arceus has been out in the wild for a few days. Bradford has spent the weekend with the title, and while he is enjoying it over all, there is one feature that the world seems defined by: emptiness.

Bradford had his first of in-person role-playing in Dungeons & Dragons earlier this week in 20 years, and it reminded him that it's both hard and that there was a reason he stopped trying in the MMORPGs he played.

Bradford has owned Animal Crossing since release, though he's barely played it. Why? Progression felt slow and he needs a little hand holding. However, after jumping back in with his partner who plays, he finally understands why it got so popular, especially during the global pandemic.

Growing up, Baldur's Gate was one of the formative RPGs for Bradford. A birthday present from his parents in high school, BioWare's epic RPG set the stage for the PC RPG nerd he'd become. However, it's not a desire to clear out backlog that has him yearning to jump back into the world, but rather prepping for his first Dungeons & Dragons game in 20 years.

With their standalone follow-up, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, Owlcat Games isn't taking the easy path by continuing the original story of Kingmaker.So how does it stack up?
