Consider Isles of Sea and Sky, the only sokoban game I've ever enjoyed
Sin Vega rockpapershotgun.comIt's Sokoban! A game whose name I recognise as shorthand for this type of puzzle, and yet have never seen. It's also a genre I'm not overly fond of, preferring puzzles I can sometimes get through by intuition (Spring Falls), brute force (every switch-the-lights puzzle ever), or entering chaos mode (real life). But I like Isles of Sea and Sky. From starting it almost on a whim, I was playing and figuring things out...

Western River R.R.
Louie Mantia lmnt.meUnlike the railroads at Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, Disneyland Paris, and Hong Kong Disneyland, which circle the park, the Western River Railroad at Tokyo Disneyland takes a totally different route. Guests board at the station in Adventureland, which is a worldwide exclusive. The Western River Railroad is the only Disney Parks railroad in the world to have an Adventureland station. It’s also the only Disney Parks...

The Rally Point: Spice Wars, Imperium, and the trouble with a Dune strategy game
Sin Vega rockpapershotgun.com"Dune is unadaptable! It could never work as a film," I cry, placing defiant fists upon my hips. "But what," says Denis Villeneuve, "about two?", shattering my physical form into one trillion shards. I have a difficult life. But wait! What about as a strategy game? Denis glances nervously at the inexplicable open pools of molten steel all around us. I've got him now. He hasn't even played Spice Wars. Except... I...

The 11 best JRPGs on PC in 2024
Brendan Caldwell rockpapershotgun.comCan you believe we didn't have a best JRPG list until now? Baffling. To be fair we did once tackle this topic with a preliminary blast of recommendations for those completely new to the genre. We also have a few familiar fantasys in our list of the 50 best RPGs on PC. But until now we haven't addressed the genre in its own right. In an act of contrition, we offer you this: our list of the best JRPGs you can play on...

Rock Paper Shotgun Features Feed How the checklist conquered the open world, from Morrowind to Skyrim
How the checklist conquered the open world, from Morrowind to Skyrim
Edwin Evans-Thirlwell rockpapershotgun.comThere's no genre like the open world for inducing choice paralysis, so it's fitting that I've been agonising over how to begin this irregular article series on open world games for months. I have a lot of material, oodles of interviews with developers of all shapes and sizes - big shops like Remedy and CD Projekt, smaller studios like Ace Team and Awaceb, all holding forth on such topics as whether Elden Ring or...

Love, Death, and Computers
Louie Mantia lmnt.meI don’t know if there are dedicated teams at Apple or other companies to deal with death, but there probably should be. Though I was happy to see the Legacy Contact feature introduced a couple years ago, it’s not everything we need. When I worked on iTunes, we briefly discussed inheriting purchased music, but we didn’t build anything for it. Product teams may never prioritize legacy-related features because...
