Bethesda’s biggest and most refined game in scale that never quite lives up to its grand ambitions in space’s infinite possibilities.
Before it produced punishingly hard fantasy RPGs that regularly rank highly in best video games lists (ours included), FromSoftware was best known for mech combat series Armored Core. It’s been over a decade since the last instalment, but the studio’s unparalleled recent reputation has given it carte blanche to do...
