TheGamer's Best Features Of The Week: Elden Ring, Dragon Age 4, And Marvel's Avengers
One of the most critically acclaimed games of all time, Elden Ring launched yesterday. And in less than 24 hours, we already have something to say about it. We’re also plodding along in Cyberpunk 2077’s update this week, taking stock of how much the game has actually changed.

Stacey also wrote about the Dragon Age 4 news we got this week - but not the bit you’re probably thinking of.
