PeaceCraft: Raandyy returns for The Great Gnomeregan Run
You thought he’d hung up his pacifist mantle for good. You thought his quest had ended. And, well ... it did, technically. But Raandyy the Gnome, star of our PeaceCraft series, logged back into World of Warcraft this past weekend to take part in The Great Gnomeregan Run. This limited-time event is a celebration of the same type of odyssey that Raandyy participated in earlier this year — so, of… → Read More

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is all about the prepwork
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, a stand-alone expansion to Arkane’s whalepunk stealth series, wasn’t really on my radar until I had a chance to play it at QuakeCon 2017 last week. The expansion’s exploration of Billie Lurk’s unique suite of powers offers some really fascinating twists on the franchise’s formula, focusing much more on scouting and preparation before moving into a room rather… → Read More
We’ve played Monster Hunter: World, and it rules
We were excited when Monster Hunter: World got announced during Sony’s press conference at E3 2017. After all, this is the first proper Monster Hunter for consoles since 2013’s Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and that was an upgrade to a non-HD game. We were even more excited when we got to see Monster Hunter: World in action during a live demo at E3. But hands-off demos can be full of tricks. To… → Read More

Welcome back to Let’s Go To Hell, our new series about altering time and space to supernaturally punish our favorite video games. In this installment, we’re finishing what we started last time and returning to the beautiful realm of Super Mario Galaxy — and, in the process, uncovering some of the dark secrets that power one of Nintendo’s most joyful creations. Missed the first episode of Let’s… → Read More
Touch the Skyrim: Beginning our final journey with Metroid
We’re entering the final stages of the Touch the Skyrim experiment, and boy howdy, are we going out with a bang. For starters, we’ve taken our favorite mods from the first four versions of our game, and combined them into one unimaginable wonderland. The things this game allows to happen simultaneously are completely mind-boggling. Once we had breathed life into our world, we invited a new… → Read More

Let’s Go To Hell: A new series about turning games inside out
Today, we’re launching a brand new Polygon video series called Let’s Go To Hell, in which Nick Robinson and Griffin McElroy hop inside — like deep, deep inside — some of their favorite console games from the mid-2000s. From there, they begin poking around places they previously couldn’t ... and, one could argue, shouldn’t. First up on the operating table: Super Monkey Ball 2, the last truly… → Read More
Sea of Thieves may be the funniest game we’ve ever played
A couple of days ago, we put up a gameplay video from our session with Sea of Thieves, the cooperative pirate game coming to Xbox One and Windows PC. Unfortunately, you couldn’t hear the audio of our conversation while playing the game, which would have revealed just how much we were cackling while playing. Why did we forget to drop the anchor, leading to our beloved ship’s dashing against a… → Read More
Crackdown 3 plays much better than it looks
I’ve been looking forward to Crackdown 3 since its announcement, but I was a little worried about the game when it was showcased during Microsoft’s E3 2017 press conference. Crackdown 3 doesn’t look great, and isn’t the most obvious choice to help sell the horrifying, unyielding power of the Xbox One X. Fortunately, myself and Nick got to play the game at a Microsoft event, and some — though not… → Read More
