Summary I try not to speak for everyone, but I’ll make an exception here: everyone wants to play strong typal decks in Disney Lorcana. The promise of decks all themed around a particular movie or category of characters is just too sweet for Disney fans to ignore, and it was one of the main draws to the game for me when it was first announced. That promise hasn’t quite been realized yet though....

Learning that players in Helldivers 2 are beginning to farm has propelled me years into the past. The first game I ever tried in earnest to min/max was Stardew Valley. Yes, really.

When we talk about innovation in video games, we usually mean it in one of two ways. It’s either a game that offers a form of gameplay never seen before, either through a new genre, mechanic, or method of exploration, or it pushes the boundaries of technology into places we have never seen before with a deft prowess of physics.The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomis a rare game that does both....

There might only be eight of them, butPokemonSquishmallowshave made a very big splash since their inception at the end of 2022. Far bigger than the splash even the largest Magikarp could muster up.

That honor goes to Dragonite, and the first images of Pokemon’s next Squishmallow have been shared online....

Depending on how you’ve been introduced toDungeons & Dragons, you may think that all journeys must start at level one. Even popular JRPGs often have protagonists start out learning skills for the first time or beating up hordes of small rats before they can claim their first level up. But, like with just about every rule in D&D, you don’t have to follow the rules. Many Dungeon Masters (DMs) might apply that mindset to how players level up, by tracking experience points, or rewarding story-based milestones....
