Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Reviews Praise Tactical Combat, Warn Of Exhaustingly Long Runtime And Pacing Issues
I cannot remember the last time I put this many hours into a game for a review. And still, I'm sitting here, writing this, itching to play more of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. Despite some odd decisions for an RPG of this depth and scale - a single save slot and diluted difficulty, to name two - I haven't played a game that has captivated and fascinated me like this in years. This is Fire Emblem at its peak, a game as sharp and satisfying as Awakening on the 3DS, with character work and story as compelling as Three Houses . It summons the same sense of wonder and scale as those multi-disc PS1 RPGs did back in the 90s.

Why Blizzard Stopped Protecting The Overwatch Formula To Save The Game
After a successful rebrand earlier this year, the mood around Overwatch has been far more positive recently. Speaking to GameSpot at BlizzCon , associate game director Alec Dawson attributed the recent success to ditching the fear of changing core systems--such as the introduction of a Perk system that fundamentally alters hero capabilities--embarking on a year-long narrative, and actively working to break player expectations. "Being able to continue to surprise people is really important," Dawson said. "We've heard a lot from players, like what they're looking for in the game, their return to narrative, and also, more heroes. But at the same time, we're going full-force to those things, but we also want to continue to say, 'Okay, where else can we push? Where else can we actually innovate?' We're just excited to continue to surprise people, and the community's been really receptive to e
