Quick Links The combat inMetaphor: ReFantaziocan feel more than a bit daunting for a while, with strong enemies capable of inflicting devastating damage begin to pop up only a couple of dungeons into the game. There are many ways to press the advantage, however. All you need is a firm grasp of the mechanics. Those mechanics can and will expand substantially as you unlock more Archetypes, progress your followers' storylines, and more....
The cast of theSuper Marioseries is broad and varied with a wide range of heroes and villains alike. The Mushroom Kingdom is host to many species, each of them with their own place in the stories the series weaves. Among these, the Mario cast has plenty of wonderful women to choose from, but a certain few are a cut above the rest. They’re near and dear to our hearts, no matter whether they’re fighting for the heroes or are going down a path of villainy....
The 2000s, especially the PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox generation, was no doubt the golden age of horror games. Many of thegreatest horror games of all timereleased during this period, with the big three horror franchises at the time, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Fatal Frame, peaking in quality. Even the early seventh generation was hitting hard with classic horror games that started their own franchises. In order for a game to count, it has to be a general horror game or horror-adjacent....
Quick Links After multiple patches, the best team compositions inTeamfight Tacticshave changed slightly, with one unique composition rising in popularity. It revolves around one of the rarest things in the game’s history: a one-unit frontline. You did read that right, as the Hunter Wukong composition revolves around his unique Druid trait that offers him higher base stats than other tank units. Three-star him, and his partner in crime Jinx, and you have a scary team that will leave your opponents questioning why this Wukong is near unkillable....
Death Caller Mages are the spookiest Specialization inDragon Age: The Veilguard, not just for Mages but any of the classes in the game. They summon the power of death itself to their side to poison and wither their enemies, and as Emmrich proves, can be a fearsome presence on the battlefield. However, their early game Skills don’t help them out as much here. While Evokers and Spellblades get the Cold and Electricity Abilities they need, Death Callers don’t get Necrotic damage as early....

But the snuggly fun level has been cranked up another notch with the arrival of movie and TV show themed Squishmallows. Can’t you just imagine sinking into the marshmallowy embrace of a fuzzy little Baby Yoda or a strawberry-scented Princess Poppy? The most epic stories of our time are now getting a squish makeover from fantasy realms to the Pixar universe....
Summary Dungeons & Dragonsmight be a game about grand stories involving epic adventures, but the specter of mathematics is never far away. Sooner or later, numbers must be tracked, be they hit points, coins, or spell slots. The poor Dungeon Master already has many numbers they need to remember, assuming they’re not just making it all up as they go. Thankfully, the other group members can step up with the help of scrap paper and calculators, possibly divvying out responsibilities like they’reoffice workers with swords....

With the return of round-based zombies that we all loved with the release ofCall of Duty: Black Ops 6, you and your friends can jump right in and experience the zombies mode once again. It’s a solid experience, and they did a great job with it. If you’ve played previous zombies modes from COD games, you know these maps are filled with Easter eggs to discover and complete. While some can be rewarding and serious and even harder to achieve, others are just easy, silly or fun to shake things up a little bit....
I’ve gotta give Velan Studios credit – it likes to keep things interesting. Following the criminally short-lived competitive dodgeball game Knockout City and two of the coolest augmented reality games out there, Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit andHot Wheels: Rift Rally, the studio’s next game is yet another unexpected and fascinating pivot. Bounce Arcade is a VR game that combines elements of pinball, brick breaker, and table tennis to create a totally unique arcade experience that’s as easy to pick up as it is hard to put down… or take off?...
AsThe Sims 4turns ten-years-old this month, I’ve inevitably begun to think about what this means to me as a player. A decade is a long time to play one game, especially when its predecessors were superseded in half the time. Over the past decade, you could say I’ve had an almost co-dependent relationship with The Sims 4. It’s always been my comfort game, just as the last three Sims were; a place I can go when I feel overwhelmed, frustrated, angry, or confused....
Summary The developers behindDead Rising Deluxe Remasterhave confirmed in a recent interview thatDead Rising 2getting the same treatment is “definitely possible” in the future. Even though theDead Rising series has only just emerged from the grave that Dead Rising 4 left it in, it seems that the future of the series is a lot brighter than it’s been in a long time. Not only do we finally have a remake (well, even if Capcom doesn’t consider it to be one) of the iconic first game,but it looks like later entries could end up getting the same treatment....
I’m envious ofDragon Agefans right now. It’s not every day a beloved franchise comes out of retirement after an entire decade, picking up right where its story left off like no time has passed at all. I haven’t followed the entire series, only playing Inquisition to the halfway point, but I remember what it felt like when games like Kingdom Hearts 3, Devil May Cry 5, and 2016’s Doom finally came out....
