About Eric Law

Eric Law is a TheBestWarGames contributor from Pennsylvania, USA. An MMORPG-focused video game writer for TheBestWarGames for four years and counting, Eric cut his teeth on gaming since he was a wee lad watching his father play Lands of Lore. Equipped with a +1 Bachelor's Degree of Creative Writing, making the jump from gamer to game journalist was a natural evolution.

One of his articles was even cited on the official Dungeons and Dragons Wikipedia page!

Industry Focus

MMORPGs like World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy 14, and Guild Wars 2, narrative-driven RPGs like Horizon, Mass Effect, and Undertale/Deltarune, Dungeons and Dragons, Star Wars, Blizzard Entertainment, and video games with rich characterization, representation, and world building, such as Overwatch 2.

Favorite Games

Final Fantasy 14, for being a critically-acclaimed MMORPG with a free trial all the way through the Stormblood expansion.
Dungeons and Dragons, for giving me an outlet through which to tell stories with my friends.
Tactics Ogre, for being one of the best strategy games on the market.
Undertale and Deltarune, for flexing just how amazing video game stories can be.
Horizon: Zero Dawn, for painting an incredible tale of past and future that seamlessly marries compelling characters, stellar worldbuilding, and fun gameplay.

Proudest Gaming Achievement

Keeping every job in Final Fantasy 14 at max level each expansion for over 10 years.
