Video games range from story-led adventures to strategy, fighting and cooperative games. Publishers often give journalists early access before release, allowing them to describe how a game feels and what features stand out.
Fire Emblem is Nintendo’s long-running fantasy strategy series, while Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls brings Marvel characters into one-on-one battles. Star Wars: Zero Company is a tactical game, where players plan moves for a small team rather than relying only on quick reactions.
Community play sessions are events in which readers and staff join the same game together. They can focus on working towards a shared goal, as in cooperative games, or simply provide a space for people to meet and play.
