Happy Wednesday, and happy 2020! Every Wednesday, Sidequest gives you a round-up of the week’s gaming news. What games have you been playing lately? I finally started Star Wars Battlefront II and have been playing the campaign. I love the main player character, Iden Versio, and the moral conflicts she faces as an Imperial commander, especially when she’s commanded to attack her home planet. I’ve also been continuing to play a little bit of Ghost Recon Wildlands and replay GTA V story mode. Ultimately, I’m just waiting for my most anticipated release of any media—game, movie, show, or book—in 2020, which is: (more…)

We at Sidequest are never ones to back down from a challenge, particularly a self-imposed one. So here we are, ready and willing to really talk about the Untitled Goose Game and philosophy. We’re also a little facetious, but damn if we didn’t also convince ourselves we’re right. (more…)

Gacha games, games focused on acquiring collections of characters through random pulls, have become synonymous with the mobile market. Much like the toy collections from vending machines they are named for, gacha games draw in huge amounts of money for relatively low cost as people try to collect them all or look for their favorites.
