Old School RuneScape Is Nearly 20 Years Old, but Jagex Thinks Its Best Years May Still Be Ahead of It
How many games can you say that the players have been waiting almost twenty years to enter a city in the game? Until this weekend, I'd have said none. Then again, until this weekend, I'd only ever dabbled in a bit of RuneScape over the many years, the first time when Old School RuneScape was just...

Review: RuneScape: Dragonwilds (Switch 2) - A Slow-Burn Survival-Crafting RPG That Underwhelms Visually
Phr33 st00f pl0x. A few years ago when I tried Old School RuneScape for the first time, I spent hours puttering around the starting area taking on basic quests, chopping down trees, and slaying goblins in the surrounding wilds. After each lengthy session, I would exit the game, lean back in my...

RuneScape: Dragonwilds has gathered its ingredients but still lacks flavor
I didn't come to RuneScape: Dragonwilds as a complete RuneScape virgin, despite missing the boat on RuneScape back in the '00s.
