As ever, thanks in particular to our wonderful freelancers from over the years who have brought the site such riches. Thank you! Here’s a look at the early access test. And here’s our final preview. Martin wrote a piece dispelling some myths. And here’s another piece by Rich, going in deep. And it was Emma’s game of the year. Here’s a rather special piece about a specific piece of folklore, from the luminous Ewan Wilson. And this is magic: Vivek Gohil writes about challenge and empathy. Still want more? How about speedrunning? And this is a recent piece from Ed that feels like it’s already a classic: Accessibility, Dark Souls 3 style. After that, how about some cookery? Miss this guy, big time. And here’s a lovely piece with some thoughts from Miyazaki himself! A proper treat. We were lucky enough to get an extract from You Died, from Keza and Jason. Do give it a read. It’s one of the best games books ever. Then there’s this piece from Rich, which is just a stunning piece of writing: Becoming the Dark Soul. More Rich! Dark Souls and Skyrim considered together. And then Jeffrey went to the Dark Souls Cafe. And here’s our review of the original, by Keza, who also interviewed the great Miyazaki. Meanwhile, Andreas Inderwildi touches on Dark Souls in three brilliant pieces: on doors, on death, and on the cosmos. Caelyn wrote recently about how Dark Souls amongst other games have been a help. Grace spoke to a lot of people about saving NPCs. Ewan and Gareth both wrote beautiful pieces about architecture. And finally - back to the source.
