God of War Ragnarok is the follow-up to the successful reboot launched in 2018. The story picks up after the first game’s events with Atreus having grown up a bit since we last saw him and being a little more involved than he was in the first game. Your story in God of War Ragnarok…
The Last of Us was originally released in 2013 and was unlike any experience before it. It was my favorite game of the PlayStation 3 generation and so I was delighted to hear it was being remade from the ground up for PlayStation 5. As the title suggests, The Last of Us is about Joel…
