Quick Links After finishing the main story of four regions inGenshin Impactbefore reaching Fontaine, you might think that the game couldn’t possibly surprise you anymore. However, this game is known for hitting it out of the ballpark when it comes to the main story, and Fontaine didn’t disappoint in that regard.

Summary On paper, you would think the PS4’s library would be cheaper in comparison to systems decades older. That assessment would be incorrect as the PS4 surprisingly outdoes many older systems in terms of how jacked-up game prices can be. This is primarily due to one key factor: The switch to online shopping. While physical shopping has its issues with rarity, online shopping is a whole different ballpark. With tons of limited releases on oddball storefronts, most of the rarest games on the system were sold this way....

It’s a long-running joke that concept art tends to almost always look better than the final product, but concept art isn’t something that can be easily animated or implemented into whatever you’re making.

RELATED:Best Action-Adventure Game Cover Art Of All Time However, that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate the concept artists who drew up the initial look for some of our favourite video games....

The scale of A Highland Song’s setting, both in sheer size and its emotional weight for our ragamuffin of a protagonist, is brilliantly realised throughout....

True masters of horror like Hitchcock and Kubrick knew how to build tension and disturb audiences without resorting to cheap tricks meant only to shock and surprise, but never instill true fear. Jump scares are a misnomer because they’re not actually scary....
