MORROWIND *****
Bethesda, PC
Games like Morrowind are rare, and since its release 15 years ago, it’s captivated the hearts of RPG fans with its otherworldly surreal universe. The many overhauls, fan-made remakes and mods are testament to this, and with a major new overhaul having recently been released, it’s worth taking a look back. It has a magic to it that its successor Skyrim never quite captured, and instead of referencing real-world cultures for inspiration, it feels like playing in a dream. At a bargain price, Morrowind is a timeless classic. LOB
TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER 2 ****
Sega, PC
The sequel to the award-winning Total War: Warhammer, a change in direction for the normally historically based strategy series, Total War: Warhammer 2 is a bigger and better insight into the Warhammer universe. You choose from four unique factions to wage war in a truly epic fantasy world, with new units and gaming elements that make it feel fresh. However, it feels harder to relate to than the historical series and a small (read big) part of me wishes they’d apply some of this magic into what made the games so enjoyable in the first place. LOB
