A couple of huge blockbuster releases this week. The latest Nioh game is here to cater to your ninja fantasies. And the famous Dragon Quest VII gets a remake this week. DQ7 is one of those shorthand names I\u2019ve heard mentioned that I\u2019ve never checked myself, like “Ultima” and \u201cMOO2\u201d. What\u2019s a MOO, anyway?. Wait, I eventually did check out MOO2 and it’s amazing. And now we can all check out a modernized version of DQ7. Hopefully someone will remake Ultima 7 one day so I can finally check that out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragon’s Quest remake brings to mind a recent headline about the latest Tomb Raider in development, a remake of the original Tomb Raider with its difficulty “tuned to modern tastes”. Should I picture the popularity of Souls-likes lately or a smoother and less difficult game?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
