Quick Links Dragon’s Dogma 2’sworld is filled with mystery and danger in equal abundance. When you’re not getting dropkicked by ogres, you’re solving the problems of townsfolks. And across your long, arduous travels, you may even come across some items that you’re not quite sure what even do. One such item is theSealing Phial. Its description seems somewhat cryptic, and even poetic, yet it could not be more literal. It is an item that can, indeed, gobble people up....

MultiVersus' collaboration with McDonald’s, which was previously exclusive to specific European countries, is finally coming to the US and other areas in March, making an announcement about the relaunch seem incredibly likely. Although MultiVersus fans know that an announcement about the long-awaited relaunch is on the way at some point in 2024, the wait has been pretty brutal, especially with barely anything official to go off ofbeyond some comments from developersandpromises that something is on the way....

Nintendoand Illumination have kicked off Mario Day by revealing that they’re working together on another animatedSuper Mario Bros. movie, which will release in theatres on June 08, 2025. Today is Mario Day (Mar10, get it?) and, although most of us weren’t expecting much to come from it beyond announcing the release date for thePaper Mario The Thousand-Year Door remake, Nintendo has surprised us all with an even bigger announcement that I can’t believe we didn’t already have - we’re getting another animated Super Mario Bros....

My gaming life used to revolve aroundOverwatch. At university, I would frequent the shooter most nights, using it as an excuse to hang out with friends as we grinded for loot boxes and caught up on the latest seasonal event. Millions of others were caught in its grasp, too, since at the time, Overwatch still felt like a fresh and exciting concept. Live service games had yet to evolve into their current form, allowing Blizzard’s charismatic outing to rule the roost....

Pokemon Goisn’t very fun any more. I still sometimesjoin my local communityfor good events, but they’re few and far between. Everything feels like you need to buy a season pass now, pay for Special Research with an additional microtransaction, or simply spend a tenner on Raid Passes just to encounter whatever Legendary Pokemon has been released this week. One newPokemonreleased into the wild each month isn’t enough to satisfy my hunger for collecting Pokemon....

Despite rumours that the project had been cancelled altogether, it seems that Saber Interactive is still working on theStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake. Aside fromStar Wars Jedi: Survivorand (hopefully)Star Wars Outlaws, it’s been a bit of a rough few years for games set in a galaxy far, far away.Not only did Respawn’s rumoured Mandalorian game just get cancelled by EA, but one of the most anticipated games to come from the license, the Knights of the Old Republic remake, has been going through absolute development hell....

I remember less aboutStardew Valleythan I expected. Its original launch helped usher in a new era of farming sims with cutesy aesthetics and compelling gameplay loops, to the extent that including a cosy game of this ilk in a Nintendo Direct has become something of a meme. While its reductive to label those games as Stardew Valley clones, it’s hard to believe they’d exist in the same quantity if it wasn’t for ConcernedApe’s masterpiece....

Summary Baldur’s Gate 3limits your party to four members, but there are a few ways to increase that number, with animal companions and elemental summons. The most morbid of these options is to make dead enemies fight for you, thanks to Animate Dead - which is more useful than its D&D counterpart. The spell gives you four options: Zombies, Skeletons, Ghouls, and Flying Ghouls, and you can control how many you’ll create at a time with the spell’s level....

Quick Links One of the most unique aspects ofHonkai: Star Railis the path system, which is assigned to each character when they’re launched. While you’re able to find elements of other paths in a character’s kit, their main play style is usually based on the assigned path, and the same can be said for Black Swan. She’s a five-star Nihility character having Wind as the combat type. Apart from having one of the best designs and animations in the game, she’s also quite a strong DPS unit if used correctly....

Summary Enhancements inBalatroare powerful boons that can be bestowed upon individual cards in your deck.

These enhancements can help to power up your deck in a variety of ways, from increasing your Mult to altering suits to generating cash. Some of these are more universally useful than others, although this will depend onthe particular strategyyou’re most comfortable with....

Quick Links Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’ssecond season has released a handful of new weapons for players to earn. The mid-season update added an additional weapon to the sandbox: the SOA Subverter, this game’s take on the ARX 200. This weapon is highly accurate, deals excellent damage, and has a fire rate that competes with most assault rifles. While a powerful weapon on paper, it can be somewhat tough to make builds for due to its limited barrel and stock options....

Quick Links Leveling inDungeons & Dragonsmeans that players can look forward to unlocking powerful new abilities for their characters. Yet, there is often confusion when it comes to managing said levels. At character creation, you are met with an option for one of two systems: “milestone” and “experience”-based leveling. Despite dictating how your character will progress throughout a campaign, they work in completely different ways. Oftentimes, Dungeon Masters will be the ones to state what kind of leveling a campaign will go through since for both systems, it is their responsibility to manage the overall party....
