In the end, NBA 2K26 is a good addition to the series, but it’s not a new change.

Of Ash and Steel is a big, old-school RPG that pays you for being patient, paying attention, and planning. It’s hard and fun to play because of the survival rules, the way the skill trees are connected, and the amount of exploration.

The structure of solving a mystery is satisfying, but the real power of the work lies in the emotional and cultural depth beneath it.
