Angeline Era is all about the joy of hidden worlds and the looping frenzy of combat Dodgems Post-release bump Image credit:Analgesic Productions As a kid playing RPGs in the 90s, I’d roam backdrops spamming the pick-up button in hopes of secret treasure. I’d do this especially in PS1 Final Fantasies, with their deceptively inert hand-drawn environments, and their greasy invisible walls.

Arcane's Second Season Will Be Its Last, Says Its First Trailer

Arcane’s second season will be its last, says its first trailer Arriving on Netflix this November I’ve never played League Of Legends and I have no interest in doing so, but Arcane was superb.
