Stardew Valley is an incredible throwback to Harvest Moon games of old that lit the indie scene on fire when it released in 2016. With a massive success on his hands, developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone could have done pretty much anything he wanted. It turns out, he wanted to make Stardew even better. In the

While it’s only been out for just a few days, there is already a lot that I’ve had to unpack from my time with Death Stranding. Like anyone else that’s played it, I’ve noticed that there is a lot to wrap your head around at the beginning of the game, from the 10 hours or
I played a fair amount of Death Stranding this weekend. I delivered a whole lot of packages, I threw some poop grenades at some oil-whale-things, and I maxed out my social link with Geoff Keighley.

One of the big benefits of being an EA Access member is the timed early access period (a.k.a. Play First Trial) for the publisher’s new games. With Respawn’s single-player Star Wars game arguably being EA’s biggest game of the year, surely, it would be part of this service. Unfortunately, the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
