Shame you laid off these three extremely talented women, who are still looking for work.

They put so much soul into Replaylee. Without them, it wouldn't look half as good as it does.

This would have been lovely. I really appreciate what you pushed for behind the scenes. Replaylee is a better game for having you and your colleagues work in it.

Still wishing that it didn't play out like this 💔

Dragons Dogma's brutal originality is what makes it so special, so nice to see modern games made without reference to what others are doing. An incredibly strange series and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 director Hideaki Itsuno has reflected on the sequel, saying he’s proud of the game but that he’s not surprised to see some mixed reaction.

“I made the game not like a Nintendo one to be liked by all, but for a certain type of audience".

I’m not just looking for work in video games, I just want to do great communications!

I am also very passionate about film, music, the climate, politics, extremely nerdy board and trading card games…

Have a chat with me pls!
