The Heart of Rage. Embers. Scars. The Monitor. Javelins.

Battlefield V Preview
Battlefield is returning to where it all started. The original Battlefield 1942 was set in WWII. Now, 16 years later, Battlefield V is again heading back to the second world war. While BFV had an alpha earlier this year on PC, this latest open beta is going to be the first time most fans will be able to finally get their hands on it.
Elo Hell Preview
The title of this game, Elo Hell (google it) describes its current Early Access state accurately, and I’m not sure that there’s any indication pointing towards future progress. It’s both a new MOBA called Echo Star and a story-driven adventure about the rise of Echo Star and its professional players. There’s not much more to it in this early build, and with so little working content, Elo Hell can barely be called a game at this point.

Better, But Still Broken
HIGH The character designs are great — both grotesque and attractive in equal measure.

WTF Ayana’s grappling hook needs way more explanation than it gets.
