Alkimia Interactive and THQ's Gothic remake launched over the weekend, and many are the complaints that the RPG's revised lockpicking system is far too hard.

Persona hasn't been very spooky for a long time. We've been putting up with Persona 5's albeit amazingly jazzy aesthetic for over a decade at this point, and while Persona 4 was definitely spooky in places, it still had you jumping into groovy, colorful TV worlds. The last time that Persona was truly horror-focused, in...

It's all-change in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy.
