Fundamentals that defined the original experience will remain regardless of whatever gameplay and visual enhancements you hurl into the cauldron hoping to alleviate past tedium. Nier Replicant exemplifies this, building upon the 2010 cult classic in myriad ways, yet it still staunchly identifies as a JRPG of that era, carrying all of the annoyances that come with it....

Whether it’s Jigglypuff, Clefairy, Nidorina, or Nidorino, Moon Stones are a necessary item for helping your favourite ‘mons achieve their full potential....

Several years ago, EA started up the EA Originals Program. It was designed to help indie developers get the funding and assistance they needed to get their games off the ground. With a well-known publisher like EA backing their project monetarily, the teams could focus on expressing their artistic vision for their games. One of the studios that joined the EA Originals team was Hazelight Studios. Known for their bombastic founder, Josef Fares, the team skyrocketed into the public eye when he took to The Game Awards Stage to advertise a coop-only experience: A Way Out....
