GreedFall 2 is a bold and ambitious project from developers Spiders that follows up on the incredibly popular GreedFall from 2019. Greedfall was a throwback to the golden age of Bioware games and fans with a love for AA titles from that generation of games found themselves with a nostalgic homage to the greats of the past like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. It was not a shiny AAA title with tons of budget and polish, however, what the game did possess was a heart and a vision that resonated with over a million fans, which was amazing for a smaller indie company like Spiders.

Fast-forward to 2024 and fans have been eagerly awaiting a follow-up to the game fans always claimed suffered primarily from a lack of budget. Now that the developers had more budget and several years to cook up GreedFall 2, what are the results and what should you expect? It was a mixed bag for me as someone without much exposure to the first game. However, there’s a certain passion and charm present here from the old PS2 era of games that draws me into this strange mess of a game (Early Access) and I’m sure it will captivate many others as well.

Enotria: The Last Song on PC

When talking about the fundamentals of combat, enemy design, and exploration, Enotria: The Last Song is the closest thing I’ve played to a FromSoftware-certified Soulslike. It’s a faithful recreation of the original formula from Dark Souls 1 with enough flavor and flare in its presentation to keep you entertained and engaged. Enotria: The Last Song will be an excellent albeit bumpy experience for lovers of the Souls genre, but it lacks certain aspects that hold it back from being a truly polished gem.

I don’t think it’s controversial to say that the market has been saturated with Soulslikes over the past year and many people are starting to be fatigued by it. You can only do the same thing over and over so many times before it becomes a chore. Luckily, Enotria: The Last Song does bring enough innovation and personality to stand on its own and not feel like a cheap imitation. However, some of this personality does come at a cost. 

There’s a common sentiment I hear from people that despite not being the most innovative, Chinese companies always manage to improve whatever they decide to take inspiration from. During the marketing phase and the several years of hype behind Black Myth Wukong, I’m sure many people viewed it as another Soulslike with pretty graphics and a new setting. However, Black Myth Wukong manages to be much more than that and stands out on its own two legs during a time period where the market feels oversaturated with mediocre soulslike imitations. Game Science has really achieved something impressive with their first AAA release.

To preface this review, we’ve managed to complete the main story in around 36 hours of gameplay while exploring every nook and cranny available. So, let’s get the primary expectations from this game straight. Black Myth Wukong is more akin to Sekiro Shadows Die Twice rather than any Souls game or Elden Ring. The game is also quite difficult but it is by no means as difficult as FromSoftware’s titles and we believe this is a good thing. We’ll get into all the details of how the game manages to be different while remaining true to the genre and remaining accessible.

The Operator on PC

The Operator is an interactive puzzle-solving game that juggles visual novel-esque storytelling with immersive gameplay to make a memorable experience.

I completed The Operator in a single sitting, which speaks to how gripping the narrative and mystery of this game can get. At just four hours, the length isn’t a bad thing, as the game will get you hooked and you won’t even notice by the time it’s over. There was no time or moment when I wanted to put it down.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn on PC

For the most part, Flintlock The Siege of Dawn is an excellent game. However, there are a few setbacks that hamper the experience and its ability to reach the heights I’m sure it could.

To start off, I would describe this game as Remnant-esque, with more focus on the melee combat rather than just firearms. The combat plays quite similarly and your close-range mobility options and dodging options also feel similar. I’d say that the bosses feel the same as well, but there are some key differences I’ll get into later. The point is, if you loved the Remnant games and want more of that, Flintlock The Siege of Dawn delivers a very solid and similar experience.

Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC arrived with a thunderous promise. Unveiling Miquella’s story, we expected a revelation, a satisfying conclusion to a character shrouded in mystery. Instead, what we got was a flickering candle flame in the vast dark, leaving more questions than answers and a lingering sense of disappointment. Here’s our explainer on why the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree ending felt a bit disappointing.

Narrative Issues

The core issue lies in the narrative’s abrupt shift. In the base game, Miquella is presented as a beacon of hope, an empyrean untouched by the Golden Order’s corruption. Yet, the DLC paints a disturbing picture. We discover a ruthless ambition lurking beneath the surface, a willingness to sacrifice and manipulate to achieve godhood. 

Wuthering Waves 1.1 has received universal praise from the fandom for all the improvements and changes that Kuro Games has implemented. However, one aspect of the latest version has come under scrutiny. Many Wuthering Waves players are complaining about the ridiculously difficult Mighty Lightcrusher and Construct: Protective Scales bosses.

Are These Wuthering Waves Bosses Too Hard?

What makes these bosses so difficult is the fact that they’re both Red Elite enemies at Level 120 each. Considering that the average player is currently around level 60 or 70, these fights seem almost impossible for everyone. Even if you know how to use the counterattack mechanic, both enemies have fast and punishing attacks that would be very hard to consistently dodge for most players.

Wuthering Waves 1.1 is finally here and it has received a very positive reception from the entire fanbase, with the general consensus being that the story, dialogue, music, and environment, all received upgrades. However, the addition of a new furry floating character, Abby, has triggered a reaction from Genshin veterans and the fandom is split over this new addition.

For those of you who remember the ending scenes of Wuthering Waves 1.1, during our fight with the Dreamless, a little creature pops out from the MCs hand to consume the Echo. However, it goes to sleep soon after. This creature makes a return in Wuthering Waves 1.1 and introduces itself as Abby. Now while many might think of this as a harmless new addition, some people are extremely concerned about what this means for the future of the story.

15. Creeper Do Not Enter Wall Poster

Starting with the Creeper Do Not Enter Wall Poster, you can keep those pesky creepers out (or just warn your visitors) with this humorous poster featuring the iconic Creeper and a bold “Do Not Enter sign”. Hang it on your bedroom door or game room entrance to add a touch of Minecraft fun with a warning to all those who enter. 

Starfield boasts a charming feature: your trusty robotic companion, Vasco, can greet you by name. Fallout 4 players would remember Codsworth’s feature of remembering and pronouncing a player’s name. It’s a personal touch that adds immersion, especially after a long day of exploring the vast reaches of space.

But here’s the catch: Vasco, bless his metallic heart, isn’t exactly Shakespeare when it comes to vocabulary. He can only utter a select few names, a little over 1,000 according to dedicated players like andy24olivera who data-mined the game’s files. This limitation has led to some truly hilarious situations, with players discovering the wonderful (and sometimes frustrating) world of Vasco-approved names.

Recently we’ve seen an anti-mobility sentiment emerge from the XDefiant fanbase. Things have become bad enough that players are blocking others who utilise these mechanics to avoid getting them in their games again.

A recent discussion on the XDefiant subreddit has shed light on the use of the game’s “block” feature. The main purpose of blocking is to prevent unwanted interactions with players. Some users are using it to manipulate the matchmaking system. “For the last 4 days, I’ve been blocking everyone who abuses the movement and now I’m starting to have fun balanced games”. 

The Witness and Winnower have been a long-running rumor and topic of discussion in the Destiny community for many years now. However, Bungie has finally confirmed that the Winnower is canon, and here’s all we know about it.

The latest raid(which is not finished yet) provides us with some dialogue lines from Witness itself as well as some important information through lore books. We finally get to see the relationship between the Gardener, Winnower, and Witness, and how they affect the Universe.

With the success of Destiny 2’s The Final Shape, players are pretty excited for the upcoming Episode 1: Echoes season. Rumors of new stories, challenges, and a hidden jungle moon have generated a ton of excitement and The Final Shape has set the bar quite high for future seasons and expansions.

There is a lot of talk about how important The Final Shape has been for the game, but with it behind us, most are now concerned about the future of Destiny 2. Many believe that the first episode for Echoes needs to be the best season Destiny 2 has ever had.

Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is shaping up to be one of the most highly anticipated DLC releases in recent memory. The trailer alone broke several records and garnered millions of views in mere minutes. However, what most people don’t realize is that the majority of Elden Ring’s players will not be able to play the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC… at least not immediately.

Will You Be Able to Play Shadow of the Erdtree?

FromSoftware has revealed that in order to start the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, you must interact with Miquella’s cocoon in Mohgwyn Palace. Sounds simple enough, right? That is until you remember that Miquella’s cocoon is guarded by one of the most formidable bosses in all of Elden Ring, Mohg the Lord of Blood.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree is just around the corner, and FromSoftware has revealed a ton of new information, especially with the release of footage from players who got to try it early. These play sessions have revealed several key components of the new DLC that warrant a ton of excitement. However, they’ve also produced some concerns that could be worrying for the overall quality of the DLC.

Should We Be Worried About Shadow of the Erdtree?

So to start off, I should preface this by saying that Shadow of the Erdtree is a $40 DLC. While FromSoftware is generally much better than its competitors at pricing and maintaining standards, even they are not immune from mistakes and questionable design choices. One of the biggest complaints leveled towards the insanely successful Elden Ring was the repetition of bosses in the base game.

The latest chapter of Chainsaw Man is here and it proves once again how controversial of a writer Tatsuki Fujimoto really is. Fans of both the MCs for the show finally got to see them get together, albeit in the worst way possible. We’re going to go over the build-up to this moment, the sequence of events, what went down, and how people are reacting to Chainsaw Man Chapter 167. We’ll also go over whether it was Asa or Yoru who kissed Denji and why.

First off, we have the leadup for this chapter, with an extremely depressed Denji, reassembled after being surgically separated into bits and stuffed into boxes, trying to get over the potential death of his adoptive daughter/little sister Nayuta and their pet dogs. That’s a hell of a sentence and poor Denji has dealt with all this trauma in the span of a few short days. However, even now he can’t seem to get over his hormonal urges when offered a trip to the brothel by the Katana devil.

Wuthering Waves had plenty of comparisons with Genshin Impact when it first released and we’ve all waited to see how it would differentiate itself. Now that the game is finally out, we can compare both games on an equal footing and see how they stack up. Despite all the similarities, here are some of the unique ways in which Wuthering Waves proves that it’s not just a Genshin Impact clone.

Wuthering Waves and Genshin Impact Differences

Echo and Databank System

The Echo and Databank system incentivizes you to go out explore the world and face every type of enemy available. With each enemy defeated, you have a chance to absorb their Echo and you can then slot these echoes into your character builds for unique buffs. Not just that, these Echoes are unique and you can channel each of their abilities in battle, and even for traversal. This incentivizes fighting enemies a lot more as you want to keep collecting more Echoes and upgrading your existing ones.
