Quick Links The First Berserker: Khazan’sDevoured Villageis another level that expands the scope quite a bit. However, not only is this mission utterly massive, but it has another standout feature: it has some of the game’s more devious hidden collectibles. We’ll take you from items precariously positioned on the rafters of dilapidated buildings to Soulstones hidden behind secret passageways to treasures sneakily tucked away under elevators. There are a ton of things that you can easily miss, so we’ll ensure that you don’t....

Quick Links Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana, which is itself a remaster of the PSP remake of the original PC game, is a wonderful little game that knows its strengths. It doesn’t overburden itself with too much content to make it longer than its means, which means it only has a short few side quests over all as well. One of those side quests involves helping Aida. She doesn’t exactly make it clear just what she wants you to do for her though....

Quick Links Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii’s Cultural District/Harbor Park Photo Rally covers the southwest corner of Honolulu.

We’ll take you from location to location, identify nearby landmarks, and help you quickly tear through these objectives on your quest to obtain all fifteen photos....

Ah, simulations—the games that give us a moment to step out of the jobs we are meh about and into the jobs we want to do. While the genre is filled with jobs and careers ranging from putting together houses or computers to washing off buildings, today focuses on creating a fun time for all ages. That’s right! We will have fun and check out two theme park titans:RollerCoaster Tycoon 3andPlanet Coaster 2....

Quick Links After going through The Living Lands for a couple of hours inAvowed, you’ll start having sections in your quest area for each different type of quest. One of these types is the treasure maps that you can either buy from traders or randomly find during your exploration. These treasure maps sometimes show you an obvious landmark to find your treasure, but in some cases, like the Woedica’s Inheritance treasure, it might be a little hard since the main landmark shown isn’t very obvious....

Despite the negative reputation of Electronic Arts, Fares has always been positive about the relationship between Hazelight and its publisher. In a recent interview with Edge Magazine (thanks,GamesRadar+), Fares offered his opinion on EA....

It’s a new year, which means it’s time to restart the yearly gauntlet of playing half-finished early access survival crafting titles. Aloft is half of a good game right now, and at times this cozy survival adventure is so cozy it verges on tedium that it almost sends me to sleep several times. It has its merits - the flying island mechanic is a great idea that is fairly well-realized even at this early stage - but overall, I don’t know why you’d play this game when there are other fantastic survival experiences (namely, Enshrouded) that do what Aloft does, but way better....

Dragon Ball Zhas become a staple of classicanimeculture, standing the test of time and breaking record after record. However, it’s not as long as some animes, and you can easily binge-watch the entire show in less than a week. Well, sort of. Now, you might be wondering what other shows could give you the same exhilarating feeling as watching Goku power up? Or maybe you’re looking for a shonen series with an equal status in geek culture to DBZ?...

Summary In many ways, theNintendo Switchseems perfect for DS ports, given its touchscreen and portability. Games like Castlevania Dominus Collection proved that dual-screen gaming could work on a TV, while remasters like Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective showed how to remake a DS game for a single screen. Despite that, very few titles from the classic handheld ever made it to Switch. While the Wii U offered a wide selection of DS titles through the Virtual Console, the Nintendo Switch, sadly, provided no alternative when theWii U eShop closed in 2023....

Rangers have by far the most variety to choose from inAvowed. While there is no set Ranger class, if you put skills in the Ranger tree and play as a Ranger would (moving swiftly and attacking from afar), then you are basically a Ranger. And, therefore, you need a Ranger’s loadout. But that, really, could be anything. AFighter’s weapon in Avowed is anything two-handed, so a big sword, hammer, or axe....

Summary Video game history has not been fair to Lara Croft. The titularTomb Raideris one of the most important characters in the medium, yet her legacy has not been given coverage on par with the Marios and Master Chiefs of gaming. While maintaining adedicated and passionate fanbase, Lara no longer enjoys the mainstream popularity she once had. There are various factors to blame for this, notably the commercial failure of Angel of Darkness and the character’s overexposure in early-2000s media....

This is where the thriving modding community comes into play. As well as the regular range of mods there are some specific to expansions, and Life & Death is no exception.
