- Hitman offers a soothing solo assassin experience
- MapleStory Classic revives a beloved 2D MMO for modern audiences
- Spyro’s flying challenges remain a barrier to 100% completion
Kelsey – Hitman World of Assassination
Kelsey has settled on Hitman World of Assassination as her comfort game. Stepping into Agent 47’s shoes across Berlin, Dartmoor and Hokkaido, she enjoys the oddly satisfying blend of meticulous planning and over‑the‑top execution – even using an explosive rubber duck to take out corporate targets.
Connor – MapleStory Classic World
Connor dusted off the modern version of the 2D Korean MMO to prepare for the upcoming MapleStory Classic World launch. He notes how the game has evolved dramatically over the past decade, yet the social hub‑and‑gear dynamic still feels like returning to a hometown that has subtly changed.
Chris – Marvel's Wolverine (PS5)
Chris spent most of his week on Marvel's Wolverine. While he agrees the game’s hand‑holding is excessive, he argues it isn’t the core flaw. The title feels like a “brain‑off” linear ride, reminiscent of a Marvel movie, but suffers from deeper design issues that force players to press forward without real challenge.
Bertie – Big Walk (PC)
Bertie attempted to reach the end of Big Walk only to realize the journey itself is the point. He describes the game as a “secret hippy retreat” where collaboration, quirky puzzles, and spontaneous moments outweigh any traditional achievement system.
Marie – Spyro: Reignited Trilogy (PS5)
Marie revisited Spyro: Reignited Trilogy to celebrate the dragon’s birthday. Despite countless attempts, the flying levels still elude her 100% completion, turning each mis‑judged archway into a lesson in patience and timing.
