Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.

Fixed, I’m usually pretty good with proofing before publishing but hadn’t had my coffee yet.

Cannot wait for this! Loved the Alpha and the Beta versions!

Okay, I hate to be THAT guy, but there article needs correction to its grammar. Currently it reads:

“…online competitive play in which players can fight the NPC shadows offallingplayers”

Correctly it should read as:

“online competitive play in which players can fight the NPC shadows offallenplayers”

I just can’t wait to play it without a time limit

Can’t wait to preorder this.
