Choice & Consequence

No decision in world of warcraft matters more than your race and class. Every character, from hardcore raiders to that level 14 undead warlock you started six years ago on a whim but never touched again, is defined by these two traits. And few of the choices you make in the countless hours that unfold after starting a new adventure are ever as meaningful. World of warcraft: shadowlands is going to change that.

Hyper Scape Preview

I know what you’re thinking: yet another battle royale game, and you may be right for feeling that way because the market for these games is getting quite saturated. For me, I enjoy seeing all the different takes on the genre, even if it can start to feel familiar, but Hyper Scape feels rather unique despite taking some similarities from those that came before (whether they were successful or not).
