As a result, even though their stats don’t change, their performance will considerably improve, making your task extremely easy. There are a few requirements to remember about the Backline Boss Evolution....

The latest instalment in the legendary turn-based strategy series debuted to’Mostly Negative' reviews on Steam, with a lot of criticism centring around bugs and a lack of user interface elements. The game’s user review score on Steamhas since improved to ‘Mixed’. Critically, the game performed well, with it currently holding an average critic score of 82 onOpenCritic....

The internet ispretty much ruled by algorithms now. They decide what I see on my social media feeds and in what order. Streaming services use algorithms to decide what to show me, and alsowhat shows to cancel despite critical acclaim. Everybody is usingAI, which is in itself a complicated algorithm. Even on dating apps, algorithms decide who you’ll be most compatible with. Steam, the biggestPCgame storefront in the world, also has an algorithm to recommend games based on what you’ve played in the past....

Summary After being pushed out of 2024 to make sure it’s in the best possible state it can be before we play it,the Croc remasterfinally has a release date:June 24, 2025. Even better, it might not be the only Croc revival we’re getting this year. Its developers have teased there’s news about some of the lesser-known games in the series coming in 2025. Argonaut Games, the revived studio behind the original version of Croc and its 2025 remaster, is very active on social media, replying to pretty much every question fans of the series have since its release date was confirmed on Tuesday....

Summary Even thoughDungeons & Dragonsis typically associated with fantasy realms filled with, well, dungeons and dragons, its worlds can really be whatever you want them to be. Nothing demonstrates that more in an official capacity than the recently revealed Beholder Potato Head miniatures, both of which come with additional parts so you can customize them however you see fit. Wizkids revealed the Potato Heads during this week’s GAMA Expo witha release window of late summer/early fall....

However, picking a class to play depends on how you personally feel about them as well as their strength and potential when facing certain types of content change as new patches are introduced....

Summary In news that should surprise absolutely no one,Dragon Ball: Sparking Zerofans think that the Hero of Justice DLC’s version of Gohan is the game’s new “best character”, particularly when it comes to his Beast form. From the momentDragon Ball: Sparking Zero was first revealed as the untitled fourth Budokai Tenkaichi game, fans have looked forward to seeing its adaptations of the series' new strongest forms. From Super Saiyan Blue and Rage (which didn’t end up appearing) to Ultra Instinct and literal gods,the power level of Sparking Zero’s roster is on another level....

I sorely miss the days of old school press conferences and presentations from gaming giants like Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. Showcases designed to reveal the latest hardware, all the biggest games, and to let the world know that you have come to play. But in recent years, with the death of in-person events likeE3andfigures like Geoff Keighley consolidating tentpole events to only a handful of occasions, most companies have decided to put on their own online shows where they can control the cadence of each announcement made or word spoken, turning presentations that were usually chaotic, personality-driven statements of intent into a dull branch of marketing....

InKingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you need to look before you leave. Every fast travel trip requires supplies and energy, so if you don’t want to arrive at your destination so hungry you’re blacking out and so tired you’re falling over, you need to prepare carefully. In that way, KCD2’s fast travel is a lot like our own fast travel: cars. Going The Long Way If you’re riding your horse or going on foot, you can find room and board on the way, but that requires preparation, too....

Split Fictionisn’t very similar toIt Takes Two. If you’re a regular reader of my stuff at TheGamer, you might be thinking’hey wait, I’ve read this one before', but don’t worry, this one’s different. As I was saying, probably the biggest divide between the two games is how they treat their individual ideas.It Takes Two throws a million ideas out there. They aren’t all gold, but they never stick around for long enough for us to notice....

When it was released nearly 30 years ago,Final Fantasy 7was a haunting vision of the future, a world in which corporations endlessly stripped the planet bare to line their own pockets. Rabble eco-terrorists fractured throughout imposing urban centres ruled by tech conglomerates were framed as heroes while they blew up reactors polluting the planet, a daring approach for a flagship ‘90s RPG. But this was the endgame of the climate crisis....

January is a boring time to be a gamer. The big games for 2025 aren’t out yet and the big games from 2024 are all old news, so last month I found myself returning to older games. I’ve recently written aboutThe Legend of Zelda: Spirit TracksandUncharted 3, both of which I started over Christmas break, which are 14 and 16-year-old respectively. The same impulse took me back toFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth....
