With few exceptions, E3 2021 was a major letdown. This shouldn't really come as a surprise, what with COVID complicating development for games across the industry. It hasn't been an easy year for anyone, so I truthfully wasn't expecting much more than what we got. That said, there were still a couple of notable games for me, so let's dive in.

While the video and thread didn't outright state that this was the end of development for Civilization VI, the tone of it all suggested a sense of finality. Whether that ends up being true or not, these are some of the things I'd like to see in the next installment of the long running 4X series.

It's a pretty weird and unsettling time in this world of ours right now. With many of us hunkering down at home, things can get downright boring at times. Fortunately, if you're someone who enjoys videogames, you likely have a backlog of games to play through or even some new titles to play in the coming days and weeks.

I've been cranking on Outriders with any free time I've had to game over the past few days (when the servers cooperate) and I'm having a blast so far. These are some tips to help you get started with the game if you're just starting out.

PCF recently released a demo for Outriders that will give players a sampling of the early game experience with the added bonus of carrying over to launch. These are some things I like (and dislike) about the Outriders demo.

With some considerable time invested into Bravely Default II, I've got some tips for those of you a bit further along into the game. No story spoilers, but there will be spoilers for Jobs, so keep that in mind.

If you can get past (or appreciate) the game's chibi art style, Bravely Default II is a great classic JRPG with dozens of hours of content to keep you busy. These are some tips to help you get started.

If the rest of the game lives up to this demo, Triangle Strategy may just be the Final Fantasy Tactics sequel I've been waiting 20 years for.

It's no secret that Cyberpunk 2077 didn't live up to expectations, but with CDPR's release of modding support tools, modders have already gone to work at putting together some excellent additions. These are some of my favorite mods released thus far.

Earlier this month, we learned that EA will no longer keep its exclusivity on Star Wars games, with Disney's announcement of a long-term collaboration with Ubisoft. This shift away from EA exclusive Star Wars games blows the doors wide open with possibilities.

New Year, new games to look forward to. 2021, at least so far, isn't shaping up to be the most hype year in games, but there are definitely some things I'm looking forward to this year. Let's dive in.
