While Bravely Second: End Layer continued the story of the original game, Bravely Default 2 is now hoping to continue the story of the franchise some six years later. The third (and slightly confusingly named) installment of the series will launch on Nintendo Switch this Friday, February 26, and producer Masashi Takahashi hopes to see it establish Bravely as a full-fat series home to independent but thematically connected stories and games. He and character designer Naoki Ikushima have also worked to marry the best parts of Bravely with lessons learned from Octopath Traveler, the last Switch JRPG that the two worked on, and player feedback has shaped that process at nearly every level. A return to form "While I am really proud that so many people have played the games and like the series, at the same time I also feel with each game we had a lot of points to reflect on," Takahashi says of the series thus far. "With Bravely Second: End Layer, we received a lot of comments mainly … [Read more...] about The making of Bravely Default 2, a return to form built on demos, mistakes, and Octopath Traveler

Evercade is a promising product with teething issues
Update: we've now completed a full Evercade review if you'd like an in-depth report of the game after testing it out for longer.

While the recent wave of mini consoles has been a good thing overall, it’s easy to understand why they don’t scratch the itch for everyone. With their fixed software line-ups, the fun inevitably has a limit. What’s more, they can’t offer one important part of the fun of retro gaming – building a collection.

This desktop with a GTX 1660 Ti is a good deal at $760, or with an RTX 2060 Super for $130 more
Building your own gaming PC is harder than ever right now with most graphics cards (and even some CPUs) becoming difficult to buy at normal prices, so pre-built desktops are as good as it gets in some cases. Thankfully, HP has discounted its line of gaming PCs with customizable specifications, so you can get a desktop with a GTX 1660 TI for as little as $759.99. The base configuration of the HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-1070m (great name, right?) comes equipped with a Ryzen 5 4600G processor, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB SSD for storing Windows and all your games. That hardware will cost you $759.99, which isn't bad at all, considering street prices for the GPU alone are at least $640 at today's ridiculous prices. However, HP allows you to customize the components during checkout, so you can potentially get more bang for your buck by changing a few options. Doubling the SSD storage to 512GB is another $40, and going from 8GB RAM to … [Read more...] about This desktop with a GTX 1660 Ti is a good deal at $760, or with an RTX 2060 Super for $130 more
