Guid Wars 2

If there's one thing you learn about dragons, it's that they're almost always accompanied by reams of lore. For reference, see: The Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age, and Guild Wars 2. The latter's long and tangled history will be further explored in next week's update. Cue trailer, which contains spoilers for last week's episode.

If you're not a regular GW2 player, very little of that will have made any sense. Don't worry, it's just dragon stuff.

From a content standpoint, last week's episode was great: filled with a complete new zone, new boss types and a surprising story path. Hopefully ArenaNet can keep up that momentum as they move close to Season 2's conclusion.

He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
