“The game’s story is a demonstration of how engaging the environment publisher Microids and its Paris development studio have crafted really is. On that note, it is safe to say ‘Syberia: The World Before’ is worth exploring more than once.” @adewritesstuff

ICYMI: James Paterson picked the brain of Swedish artist Andreas Axelsson and his distinct-sounding neofolk project Nattramn. Sharing little-known knowledge on lost runes and ancient tones, Axelsson also spoke of his Aethelwyne-collab, ravens, and more.

ICYMI: Not much is known about the new God of War storyline, but what we do know is that it will feature Týr, the Norse god of justice and war who in ancient, pre-Viking times seems to have been a more important deity than Thor and Odin. @SonySantaMonica

Are you looking forward to the Dungeons & Dragons film? Will the producers get it right this time, or is it going to be another dud? With Hugh Grant part of the confirmed cast for the 2023 reboot, we’re certainly “intrigued” by its potential. @Wizards_DnD
