Take last week’s Steam Charts, give them a little shuffle, and then breathe out a long, despondent sigh. Oh, and then entirely randomly add an Early Access racing sim. And then start sighing again, and never, ever stop.
Dear RPS,Hullo everyone! Dashing off a quick postcard from my hols. Ate three sticks of rock for breakfast today. Have started wearing a hat. Sand’s everywhere. Margo did it again. Sophia says she’s going to kill Judith. Visited the world’s largest dairy statue of Alan Shearer; have bought you a lewd souvenir. And you wouldn’t believe what we found while diving in the bay – or the noise it made ha ha! All my love to Dottie, and please spoil the cats rotten for me.
Warmest regards,A
p.s. What are you playing this weekend? Here’s what we’re clicking on!
I ve played Dragon Quest XI for about twelve hours now – or XII hours, in Dragon Questese – which is only a fraction of the whole thing, but a fraction is enough to offer some first impressions. That said, a first impression of Dragon Quest XI is rather like meeting a new member of a family you re already well acquainted with. It may be the first mainline game on PC, but there s X of the things on other platforms and the founding fathers of the series have made it their mission to change as little as possible; a point of both admiration and criticism.
That said, and as expected, it’s a beauty of a JRPG where, aside from a free camera mode in battle and horse riding, not much has changed at all. Which is totally fine by me. In the words of A Pop Band, At Some Point, Probably: I love you Dragon Quest XI, just the way you are.

Today’s launch of Dragon Quest 11: Echoes Of An Elusive Age feels momentous. While we’ve missed out on the first ten, Dragon Quest 11 is the first mainline game in the series (Dragon Quest Heroes 2 was nice though) to land on our humble and flexible platform.
Square Enix’s long-running series has done much to define the JRPG as a genre and console cornerstone since 1986, and not much has changed in the series since then. Dragon Quest 11 promises a new but familiar story of magic swords, evil lords and cranky dragons to PC – unpretentious, bright, sunny and fit for all ages. Below, the launch trailer.
There are few games more influential on the JRPG genre than the Dragon Quest series. Classic all-ages tales of swords and sorcery adventure, held together with traditional turn-based combat in a world of charming monster & character designs from Dragon Ball artist Akira Toriyama.
While a pair of spinoffs have made the jump already (Dragon Quest Heroes 1 & 2, which I still insist are two of the best Dynasty Warriors-derivatives), today’s announcement from Square Enix marks the first time in the series’ 32-year history that a core game has come to PC. Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of An Elusive Age is due out this September 4th.
