Quick Links PlayingFinal Fantasy 14is committing to a whole other life, the digital existence of the Warrior of Light, and for many of us, our playtime spans years. During that time, you’ll likely change console, upgrade your PC, or maybe want multiple devices to play the game on, so how do you ensure you have all your config settings wherever you’re playing, including your HUD layout and hotbars? There are a few ways to achieve this, either by using the in-launcher/game back up features or manually copying your files....

I’m not much of a PC gamer, much to the distress of many of my friends who assume that just because I write about games for a living, I probably know how to fix their computer problems. Unfortunately, I grew up in a house without a home PC – we had a Mac instead – and therefore have always done my gaming on a combination of console and Macbook. Even now, I always gravitate to console versions of games instead of their PC counterparts, for the comfort of playing away from a desk and for the familiarity of a recognisable UI....

Lethal Company.Among Us. Two gaming sensations. While they have very dissimilar origins, they captured a massive audience through novel gameplay and the promise of chaotic fun with your friends. Lethal Company may not yet have the mileage of Among Us, but as things stand, it looks like the early access title will hold up well. Ultimately, both games are a certified good time and well worth playing. Nevertheless, for all the things Among Us and Lethal Company do differently from each other, there are similarities....

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’sIndigo Disk DLC is finally here, bringing with it your climactic rematch with rival Kieran. Having already beaten him once in the Teal Mask DLC, Kieran skulked off to who knows where to power himself up for Indigo Disk, and he’s back with a much improved team and ready for some revenge. Even though he’s a lot stronger, poor Kieran still doesn’t quite seem to be over the fact that he was beaten during the battle for Ogerpon....

God of Warand lead characterKratoshave once again fallen under the microscope after the release ofRagnarok’sValhalla expansion. On the surface, it’s a roguelike inspired by recent genre masterstrokes likeReturnalandHades, but it becomes clear quickly that Sony Santa Monica intends to use the cyclical nature of repeating stages over and over as a compelling storytelling device. And it does, essentially turning Valhalla into a glorified therapy session. In turn, Kratos is allowed to embrace difficult emotions and figure out how past events have impacted how he reacts to and behaves around certain things....

TheMarvelslate is looking a little barren in 2024 when compared to other years as of late, and that’s probably a good thing. Between TV shows on Disney Plus andMCUblockbusters not making as much as they used to, a year in which there isn’t as much Marvel content may well make more casual fans hungry for what’s still to come. That said, there will still be some new Marvel stuff in 2024, and two of its biggest upcoming projects already have their ownFunko Pops....

If you have anything more than a passing interest inSquishmallows, then you likely know the pain of trying to track down a popular one.Pokemon’s still very limited Squishmallow selection tends to be the one that causes the most headaches, but if you’re trying to establish a collection of some description, buying Squishmallows can get expensive fast. Any chance to buy popular ones for less should be jumped on, and right now a selection of Nightmare Before Christmas Squishmallows have had their prices slashed onAmazon....

Even if you live an ocean away from the location, there’s been no avoiding the Chicago rat hole. Earlier this month, a rat-shaped hole in a Chicago pavement went viral, prompting crowds to attend the site in a show of respect. Now, coins circle the water-filled rat hole, and a shrine has been erected in its honour. The rat in question has been named Chimley, with the name appearing in countless tributes nearby....

Persona 5is a slow burn, and that makes previewingPersona 5 Tacticaa little bit of a challenge. I’ve played through the first 14 missions so far, some of which I previously experienced at Gamescom in August. This time though, I’m experiencing more of the narrative flow alongside the action, but mostly, it leaves me hoping that this slow burn will soon ignite. Tactica takes the Phantom Thieves (minus Kasumi and Akechi, who are DLC-only) into the world of TRPGs, moving them on battle grids as they take on new foes and embark on new stories....

Pokemon Concierge closed out a busy year forPokemonwhen it hitNetflixat the end of 2023, and unsurprisingly, it’s proved pretty popular. Its four episodes only amount to about an hour’s worth of time at the Pokemon Resort, and fans have already made it clear they want more. No word yet on whether that’ll happen, but there is a silver lining. Pokemon Concierge is getting official merch, including a Psyduck eyemask and a Horsea watering can....
