About Jared Stewart

Jared is a writer, editor, and Communications Studies graduate who loves popular nerd culture (almost anything to do with Marvel, DC, Star Wars, or The Lord of the Rings) and the interactive storytelling medium. Jared's first console was the PS1, wherein he fell for Spider-Man, Spyro the Dragon, and Crash Bandicoot.

Proudest Gaming Achievement

Earned all achievements/the Platinum trophy in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. It took ~70 hours, okay!?

Favorite Games

Batman: Arkham Asylum, Bloodborne (Sekiro as a close FromSoftware second), Helldivers 2, Spider-Man: Edge of Time, The Last of Us Part 2, and Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales.

Favorite Console

Jared owns a Nintendo Switch, PC, PS1, PS2, PS5, and Xbox 360, but he most fondly remembers the PlayStation 2.

How Hogwarts Legacy’s Sequel Could Make Its Protagonist Even More Powerful

Hogwarts Legacy allows players to master Potions and Herbology, but the thrill of spellcasting often overshadows these alternative combat methods. With the game's limited spell slots and some redundant abilities, a sequel could benefit from deeper spell customization. One exciting possibility would be letting players create their own spells, adding a layer of personalization and strategic depth to the game.
