Summary Super Mario RPGis a pretty easy game for the most part, which is understandable given the franchise it’s part of. However, just like pretty much every JRPG out there, Super Mario RPG hides an incredibly tough superboss for players to test their skills against. Culex 3D is a tough ol' chestnut to crack, but players have been making the fight look incredibly easy ever since the game came out, withone person beating him in just six turns....

The trailer forGTA 6dropped earlier this week, and one of the lines I read over and over again is that “it looks like a photograph”. I can only assume these people have never seen a photograph in their lives, because no, it doesn’t. Much like The Last of Us Part 1remaster, it looks like a very impressive video game that is still, nonetheless, a video game. BothRockstarandNaughty Doghave a habit of polishing their best work to sell minor improvements back to us, but after GTA 6 we will eventually get GTA 7....

Unfortunately for my fellow simps and I, Vi and Caitlyn aren’t featured in the teaser. Their time will come, and with any luckthey’ll also be smooching each other’s faces off come later this year.

Baldur’s Gate 3has quite a few skill checks that you need to overcome in the form of tough fights. One of these is the mechanical mountain that is Grym, which you’ll encounter deep in the bowels of the Grymforge.

Not everyone needs armor to be protected on the battlefield. Or at least, not everyone can wear armor. Many classes in Dungeons & Dragons benefit from lack of armor, such as barbarians and monks, or can’t wear them without clever character building, like wizards and sorcerers. However,Baldur’s Gate 3has these classes covered by adding simple clothes with many unique features for their wearer. Unless stated otherwise, all these clothes have a base AC (Armor Class) of ten, meaning you’ll have to rely on your dexterity to reach good numbers....
