I am so thrilled to reveal that my latest cover story for Game Informer is about Dragon Quest VII Reimagined!

Alongside my 12-page cover story, I also wrote an 8-page DQ retrospective, since this is somehow our FIRST EVER DQ cover🤯

Can’t wait for you all to get this issue – I’m so so proud of it🥹
COVER REVEAL: For the first time in Game Informer history, a Dragon Quest game is gracing our cover! We went to Tokyo to play Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, interview the team behind it, and dive deep into the history of this prolific RPG franchise. Subscribe today!

Arrividerci, Florence⚜️

Tomorrow, we take a train down to Cassino, Italy, to visit my wife’s family for the rest of this trip and let Sofia meet her bisnonna 💞

At dinner in Florence and our waiter asks where we’re from – we say Jacksonville, FL. He says he knows it and worked there. We ask where and he names our FAVORITE Italian restaurant in the area, which we love because it tastes most authentic to Italy.

Holy hell what a small world

Traveling with a 7 month old is great because it’s just constant validation from everyone that you are father to just the cutest lil cutie

So far, traveling with a 7 month old is mostly pros: people let you skip lines, everyone coos at her, viewing everything through her eyes, to name a few.

And one con: you can’t listen to the audio guide in every room of a museum because Sofia likes to keep things moving

Life is good🥰

Reviewed Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, a game I liked a lot more than Age of Calamity, and not just because it looks and plays a lot better thanks to the Switch 2.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment offers myriad improvements across the board mechanically and visually, but my favorite element is that it treats Tears of the Kingdom’s story with respect.

Lumines Arise is my first Lumines game so I'm still pretty terrible at it but man, if it isn't a treat to play. It's become my nightly ritual.

Check out our review below:
Lumines Arise is the kind of game that I won’t delete from my hard drive because I will always want the option to lose myself to the game periodically, which Arise is consistently excellent at.
