The story of Ramza Beoulve is presented to you as a historical accord - an account of a tale recorded by one historian and told to you by another. It's subjective, an interpretation of loose facts collected by an archivist with a notable bias: to celebrate the achievements of your protagonist, a man whose influences and inspirations have been concealed by the church. As such, different readings of this story can proffer different results. Historical records are spotty at best, and even when written by the victor, choose to omit often-important facts.

Revisiting Pokémon Legends: Arceus before this preview of its sort-of-sequel, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, I couldn't help but be struck by its almost singular eeriness. Legends: Arceus is deathly quiet, thanks in part to the total lack of voice acting - a long-running Pokémon quirk continued again here in Z-A, even in the lengthy cutscene we were shown at the start of the preview - but also, more intentionally and more interestingly, because of its environment. Legends: Arceus was set in the ghostly wilds of Hisui. A cold, unwelcoming, frequently haunted corner of Pokémon's take on the Japanese region. It made sense to dial into the sounds of swaying grass and gusting wind, the braying Ponyta, the heavy footsteps of human travellers in untamed lands. What an odd game, with such an odd vibe. I kind of loved it.

In Hades, we meet Sisyphus, the once founder and king of Ephyra, now relegated to the underworld and tasked with pushing a boulder up a hill for eternity because he dared incur the wrath of Zeus. He's an unlikely ally; a cheerful chap seemingly content with his perpetual lot, keen to dish out advice, boons, and the odd joke. Sisyphus is a suitable parallel for Zagreus, in the first game: his task may be endless, but he can find the fun in it - no matter how many times the boulder rolls down the hill, he rolls up his sleeves and takes on the challenge once more with feeling.
