Like the other Survivors in the game, he faces a deadly challenge. He and his allies must work together to power the exit gates in time, or die a generally ghastly and protracted death when the Killer catches up. Luckily, Alan isn’t wholly unprepared, bringing with him unique Perks that might just earn the Survivors an escape....

Summary Similar to the idle genre, it’s somewhat surprising that people would be into auto battlers, and other similar genres that have automated mechanics for that matter. Who would’ve guessed that gamers would fall in love with games that, at least in part, play the game for them? But hey, there must be something to this relatively new formula, since games as AFK as Cookie Clicker, or big titles with a mix of strategy and automation, like Teamfight Tactics, prove that through player retention, sales, and positive reviews....

The Last of Us Part 2Remastered’s No Return mode is a great way to just enjoy the title’s gameplay without the emotional toll of the narrative weighing down on you. You still go up against all the enemies you fight in the campaign, and they still react to pain and injury as realistically as before. But this time, you do it for points ina roguelike structure. The enemies you face off against have slight variations, so this list ranks which ones are the most entertaining and easiest to fight against....

Magic is one of these options, and the game offers three types of magic, with Radiant being one of them. If you’ve played other games like the souls series, you’ll find Radiant magic similar to Faith.

TheSteamWorldseries has twisted and turned around various genres across its six games, never settling for repetition, conformity, or ‘the safe option’. By contrast, SteamWorld’s endearing success has been its willingness to reinvent and experiment, leading to some of the most engaging indie games in the past 15 years. Despite switching up its core gameplay formula from game to game, SteamWorld’s western steampunk aesthetic is easily recognisable in gaming circles. Most importantly, the SteamWorld series has maintained a consistent level of quality across its games, showcasing the talent of its developers to effortlessly adapt to whatever genre they pull from the hat....

The Lost Mines of Phandelver has served as a popular starter adventure forDungeons & Dragonsever since its debut in 2014. Several actual plays have been made using the module as a base, and some of its encounters have admittedly become a bit dry and dusty. Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk provides a fresh take on an old adventure. The first half of this module is fairly similar to the original Lost Mines of Phandelver, but the similarities end when the second half begins....

Dogs are central toFallout’s identity. Every game has some kind of four-legged friend - usually called Dogmeat - and theAmazon Primeshow is no exception. Revealed today, the TV adaptation will also feature a canine character, curiously called CX404. Yeah, we don’t know the significance behind that name either. It sounds like a name for a robot dog, and as many fans will know, the Fallout series is no stranger to these kinds of pets....

Right off the golf club, I should say that I won’t be givingThe Last of Us Part 2 Remastereda score. The reason is I don’t think you can score this as an experience without considering the five-star game that is The Last of Us Part 2, but most people will check this out specifically to see what the new features amount to, and I wouldn’t give those a perfect score - that’s okay, perfect scores are rare....

There is a lot to do inThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and nobody wants to help. If there’s a minor issue, it’s up to Link to solve it because he is, apparently, the only capable person in the entirety of Hyrule. Sure, it’s understandable that only Link could complete the main quests, but there are a lot of side quests that speak to the lack of motivation throughout the entirety of Hyrule....

I find most technological conversations around gaming to be fairly boring. Part of this is that too many modern games put, if not all, then at least far too many eggs into the presentation basket, and feel far more hollow in terms of narrative or innovation as a result. I only playPCgames when I absolutely have to, and that usually means indies likePizza Tower, so I’ve never done a deep dive into graphics settings....

Welcome back to Ixalan! It’s the same bustling Mesoamerican world you remember, full of Dinosaurs and Pirates, contested by Merfolk and Vampires, with shining golden cities and undiscovered planes to explore. This time you’ll be delving below the surface, into the very depths of Ixalan’s core.Magic: The Gathering’sThe Lost Caverns of Ixalan is all about downward exploration, and its Limited format commits to that trope. Exploration is core to LCI, withthe returning explore mechanic, as well as Map tokens, Caves, the Discover mechanic, and much more....

Of all the godlike abilities Superman possesses, a few stand out from the long list as truly definitive of his character on the big screen. Though his power set allows an extensive range of superhuman feats, certain signature skills have come to embody the Man of Steel in moviegoers’ minds. These trademarks establish him as a paragon of both might and restraint, able to safeguard humanity with ease, yet consciously refraining from going batjack crazy and taking over the world or something....
