A rarer Catalyst to get, it was obtainable during the Midsummer Island Adventure Event. If you were lucky enough to pull it then, you could equip Ningguang with it to see her Base Attack go up between 41 and 454, depending on her le
Venti was the first limited-time five-star character released in Genshin Impact . This 'tone-deaf bard’, as Paimon would say, has a very special connection with Mondstadt but nobody knows who he actually is, and he likes it that way. The character already has multiple re-runs in the game and all of his banners have done really w
I’m getting back into No Man’s Sky after another of my characteristic long breaks. There’s a new expedition, Leviathan, and that’s an apt word for the challenge of trying to remember what to do and figure out what on earth is going on. Permadeath doesn’t help things, but then I’ve noticed a quirk of being able to claim the Twitch rewards given away a while back, every single time I respawn. That means five ships to scrap, and millions of credits, which should make things more palatable. I’m also planning to do a lot of grinding in Dislyte — I’ve hit a wall in terms of progression, so it’s time to focus on making my Espers stronger.
There’s no denying that the open-world formula of the newer Assassin’s Creed games has its flaws. However, players seeking out an action-adventure game that lasts for a good while will find a perfectly competent game h
I’m dabbling in a certain spooky horror game that I can’t talk about just yet, but when I’m not getting teenagers murdered in the woods I’m duking it out with rivals across the courtroom in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy. While I touched on this franchise briefly in my teenage years I never had a chance to play the original games, so I finally decided to dive in and 2025 see what the fuss was all about. I’ve fallen in love. The characters, writing, and gameplay mechanics are all so charming and lovable, providing a playful twist on an otherwise mundane profession. Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth are also lawyer boyfriends for life, and being able to manifest that romance as they glare at one another during a case is a delight. Beyond that, I’m dipping into the likes of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand and Horizon Zero Dawn.
I’ve returned to the comforting neon haze of Need For Speed: Underground 2 for the past couple of weeks. Even after all these years it’s still not lost its charm. Racing around the midnight city with Riders on the Storm blasting out the speakers in my boot (that’s a trunk for the Yanks) clearly never gets old. Does the game look fuzzier than I remember? Definitely. Does that matter? Absolutely not. The thrill of hitting the NOS is still unparalleled . Watching the world twist and contort as my tail lights streak behind me is electrifying, and the nostalgia of playing on my GameCube – the most perfectly designed console ever – makes the game a wonderful cocktail of relaxing and exciting.
It’s a bit surprising how little this game has come up in the gaming community in regards to its similarities to Genshin Impact. People bring up Breath of the Wild all day every day, but yet never mention how Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has a similar style, elemental combination system , open-world exploration mechanics, and m
The only game on my mind right now is Baldur’s Gate 2. So many other games have been abandoned in favour of this BioWare classic, so much so that I’ll probably be writing about it next week as well. I don’t know what my playtime is, but I’m easily over the 40-hour mark and only on chapter four. And honestly, that’s because when I say I’m „playing Baldur’s Gate 2”, that usually means I’m writing character journals or making a new character portrait. Do not start playing this game if you’re a writer. I’ve accidentally kept playing until 4 am twice this week. The end is nowhere near in sight.
Noelle isn’t the only Geo claymore user in Genshin Impact anymore — Arataki Itto has arrived. This five-star character is the head of the Arataki Gang, a bitter rival of Kujo Sara, and a descendent of the red Oni clan of Inaz
Damage-oriented characters in Genshin Impact generally benefit from a one-to-two ratio of Crit Rate to Crit DMG . This is usually the case for Eula as well, but some players prefer to index extremely heavily into Crit DMG and simply restart fights until her Burst gets lucky enough to Crit . This playstyle is decidedly inconsistent, but it can be fun if you want to see some impressive damage numb
Equipping Eula with two pieces of Pale Flame and two pieces of Bloodstained Chivalry is a solid alternative that requires no cooldown management . You’ll sacrifice a little damage compared to the full Pale Flame set, but the ease of use might be worth it for
If you do this quick enough, this will completely skip the animation for your Elemental Skill. Further, since you’ll use your Burst as well, the particles that fly over to you from the skill contribute to recharging your skill for the next Burst automatically. This way, you can also have your burst back faster while reducing the time Venti has to stay on the fi
