Article Vault 001 - Running With Scissors
We've decided to open up the vault and republish some of Opium Pulses' earliest articles, reviews and interviews from our old forum-only days. Starting with this article from 2013 that marked the beginning of the return for Postal developers, Running With Scissors. Sections of this article include quotes from an interview Opium Pulses held with RWS back in September 2012. Enjoy... Originally Published April 23, 2013 | By SlipSlotBefore Running With Scissors existed, early members were part of a development team called Riedel Software Productions.

Honestly, Path of Exile (especially with everything they’ve done leading into PoE 2) deserves a top spot on this list. The dark, gritty art style is incredible, and the lighting engine alone is a masterpiece. When you're running through a damp, dimly lit dungeon and your skills light up the entire screen with realistic shadows and reflections, it looks better than most modern triple-A games.
The only downside to the game looking this beautiful is that when your build gets chaotic and the screen fills up with hundreds of exploding monsters, it can get incredibly intense. To actually survive those gorgeous, high-density maps without constantly dying, you need a seriously optimized character.
That’s why so many players, myself included, eventually look to buy Path of Exile items or high-tier gear on trade markets just to get our defenses up. Having the right build lets you actually appreciate how incredible the game looks at max settings instead of staring at a 'You Have Died' screen every two minutes though
