Lord of the Rings games tend to be full of conflict, whether you’re a band of dwarves delving deep into Moria and fighting off orcs, or Gollum sneaking through Mordor and trying not to become dinner for its denizens. Tales of the Shire: A Lord of the Rings Game eschews all the grim stuff, though,…

—
by
You’d think a card game with as many expansions as Magic: The Gathering would have done something as poker-adjacent as a Western set before now, but it’s taken until its 100th expansion for Magic to cowboy up. Outlaws of Thunder Junction explores a new plane full of arcane trains to rob and cactus-spider monsters to…

Boasting economist lobstermen, gas mask aliens with 120 sexes, and the best space dogfights 2003 has to offer, Underspace is a sci-fi RPG well worth your time
—
by
It takes a lot to get me immediately invested in a sci-fi universe’s backstory and lore, but Underspace got its hooks in the moment it recounted the story of The Speaker, a public orator of legend. When interdimensional conquerors threatened the galaxy, his unbroken 46-hour speech shamed the invaders so thoroughly that they turned around…

No Rest for the Wicked isn’t a Diablo, but it might be one of the smartest soulslikes I’ve played in a long time
—
by
Let’s get this out of the way now: No Rest for the Wicked is absolutely not an action RPG in the style of Diablo. There is loot to find, yes, but it doesn’t transform you into an untouchable god. No, Rest for the Wicked is a lot closer to a soulslike with its weighty, punishing…
