Quick Links The firstTekkenwas released in 1994 on arcades and a year later on consoles. Because of that, Tekken now has decades of lore, being a huge series that was never rebooted, where information started piling up, being retconned, or sometimes ignored. It’s no wonder all recent Tekken games come with lore dumps for beginners interested in what is happening. Still, more recent games have also given more attention to their story modes....

So you’re the DM of aDungeons & Dragonscampaign, and you havethe honor of a warlockbeing in your party. Except… your player says they’re thinking about trying a new character build. Maybe they want to try a new class altogether, or maybe they simply want to try another subclass. It’s also possible that your campaign is wrapping up, and you want to resolve narrative loose ends with the warlock. Either way, your player needs options for getting out of their pact....

MultiVersusis one of the most notable victims of the varying ways games measure success these days. It was popular when it released in early access in June 2022, and was praised for its recreation of classicWarner Bros.characters, developing a cult community. Though early access reviews are tricky, it currently sits at an impressive-enough 80 on Metacritic. People liked it, people bought it, and people played it. That wasn’t enough the first time around....

A reliableXboxinsider has claimed thatGears of War,Flight Simulator, and the nextDoomgame to other platforms, although it seemingly hasn’t made a decision about them just yet. It’s been a pretty rough couple of weeks for some Xbox fansthanks to rumours going wild that every exclusive from Hi-Fi Rush to Starfield was going to be made multiplatformand come to consoles like the PS5 and Switch. As it turns out, a lot of those rumours weren’t quite on the mark, asPhil Spencer confirmed yesterday in a “business update” episode of the Xbox Podcast that only four games are being ported right now....

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is fast becoming one of the best games I’ve played this year. It’s by no means perfect – narratively, it’s severely lacking, for starters – but there’s a lot to love about the details of its world. While the story of Disa and the false Arisen is left by the wayside, the wider worldbuilding of the game’s perpetual cycles is incredibly interesting. However,Capcom’srefusal to overexplain and tutorialise everything in the game leads to many people missing the point....

Helldivers 2players are still fighting the good fight against Joel, the ever-present games master who isalmost single-handedly directing the entire Galactic War. If the Automatons take over a planet, or the Terminids put up a strong fights against Super Earth forces, chances are there will be a group of players angrily shaking their fists at Joel for his tomfoolery. However, it’s possible that Joel may not be all that bad, as a viral video has been circulating of a player joining a random Helldivers 2 match, dropping an unannounced and currently unrevealed APC vehicle into the fray, and then leaving again....

There’s no big sale on the Nintendo eShop, but some of the biggest games on theSwitchhave had their prices cut from $60 down to $40 onAmazon. If you own a Switch you’ll know how rare it is that its bigger titles go on sale, although with the console that will replace it potentially launching in less than a year, we’re likely to see sales like this more frequently in the coming months....

There is a long and venerable tradition of cyberpunk TTRPGs. For decades, our tables have featured stories set in a dark future, a world ruled by greedy, malevolent corporations and transformed by digital technology (imagine that!). In these worlds, the line between the organic and mechanical has blurred. Humans enhance themselves with machinery, replacing parts of their own body to make themselves stronger. Yet, these worlds are always dystopian. Technology has only cemented the rule of the powerful over the lowly, and it’s up to the heroes of this world to challenge their power!...

Summary The Sims 4has always had metals and gemstones, which your Sim could dig up and sell. There weren’t many uses for these gemstones, until now.

Summary Hidden object games just don’t get as much love as they deserve. Too many games are microtransaction-filled nightmares that use the same images over and over again. While the genre once had its heyday, it clearly isn’t being taken seriously as of late. Still, there are plenty of hidden (pun intended) gems out there. While there are plenty of great hidden object games available for the PC and consoles, they tend to cost money....

Summary Clericsare the chosen of their gods, and can function as divine protectors or destroyers while enacting their deity’s will. Naturally, a being of any race could gain the gods' favor, but inBaldur’s Gate 3, some of the options will make your journey easier than others. The game’s races come with a wide variety of bonuses, and while many of them can be of great help to a Cleric, others are of little use....
