Like many ARPG fans, I have long-awaited the Western release of Smilegate's MMOARPG, Lost Ark. Though the launch has been delayed to next year,...
Not So Massively: Age of Empires IV is a thoughtful love letter to the past
Folks who grew up gamers probably all have a few games or franchises that just defined our childhoods. For me, one of those franchises...
Not So Massively: Diablo II Resurrected is a lot of old school jank in a pretty wrapper
I admit I debated whether I should write this column at all: After all that's happened lately, giving coverage to Blizzard games doesn't feel...
Not So Massively: Magic the Gathering Arena is great, but it can’t replace Magic Legends
I've been playing a bit more of Magic: Legends lately -- might as well enjoy it while I can -- and two things have...
Not So Massively: Wolcen’s roadmap is missing some important things
In the past, I've been pretty free with my praise for Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem. I've gotten nearly a hundred hours of good fun...

Not So Massively: First impressions of Dungeons & Dragons Dark Alliance
I'll admit I had low expectations for the new co-op action game Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance. The graphics looked a bit dated, and...

Not So Massively: Checking up on multiplayer RTS Iron Harvest 1920
Last fall, this column covered Iron Harvest 1920, an alternate history RTS with a strong multiplayer emphasis and surprisingly poignant story-telling. Once I got...
Not So Massively: Four things I wish I’d known when I started Magic Legends
Inevitably after a couple weeks in a new game, you've learned a few things that you wish you'd known from the start. For me...
Not So Massively: Magic Legends is messy, deep, and more of an MMO than you think
I can't remember the last time I struggled so much deciding whether I like a game or not. I'm a fan of ARPGs, and...
Not So Massively: Checking the pulse of Star Wars Battlefront II
As I am someone who is at best lukewarm to the Star Wars franchise, nearly as ambivalent toward shooters, and almost entirely uninterested in...
Not So Massively: Outriders’ demo teases a decent but unremarkable looter-shooter
Outriders, the new co-op shooter from publisher Square Enix, is not a game I've followed super closely, but with Anthem consigned to eternal purgatory,...
Not So Massively: A eulogy for Anthem and Defiance
Last week was a bloodbath. In a single day, we saw Electronic Arts consign one game to eternal maintenance mode, and Gamigo announced closures...
