Dragon's Dogma 2's Magick Archer class makes me want to solo the game

Look out for parts 2 and 3 over the coming week. Rivet Shot, meanwhile, embeds an arrow in the target which detonates when struck. Just like in Ghost Recon. Ricochet Seeker, meanwhile, makes the Magick Archer even more capable within the theoretically archer-unfriendly confines of caves. Can I use Flamefang for reconnaissance in dungeons? It also makes me think, obviously, of Hawkeye.

Frogwares reveal wet survival horror sequel The Sinking City 2, taking the dev "in a newer direction" in 2025

But let’s peer through the weeds a bit further. They’re not doing away with detection entirely though. The vibes sound like they’ll be very similar though, i.e. everything is flooded, with the presser mentioning “decaying mansions, flooded markets and abandoned hospitals”. Broadly, I am very on board. Publishing director Sergiy Oganesyan says “we need to start taking bolder moves. At the same time, I totally get that Frogwares would also be risk averse....

I’ve got a trailer for you below. The original Ghost of Tsushima released for PS4 back in 2020. It makes the usual head-to-the-waypoint business feel a bit less like, well, heading to a waypoint.

Helldivers 2 patch nerfs the best guns as designer says the balancing process will be "never-ending"

“The AC-8 Autocannon is a good example of a well-balanced weapon,” the post continues. The GL-21 Grenade Launcher is the opposite example. In short: Powerful weapons can’t be too versatile, versatile weapons can’t be too powerful." So with this patch, they’re getting significant downsides to balance their power. It’s worth noting that the railgun and shield generator are particularly popular inthe Helldivers 2 soloing scene. Perhaps Super Earth’s government will host war memorials that double as anniversary events featuring the launch year balancing....

Berserk Boy review: a fast and frantic platformer dashed by swift credits

As is the case with retro-inspired platformers, theres not much to spoil. The Ice Kunai suit can throw projectiles and hang on to certain surfaces. Mine Buster reveals hidden platforms and can make breakable walls go boom. Once that leap bashes into an enemy, it’s possible for you to leap again in mid-air. Though, Berserk Boys best bits come when youre forced to mix and match every suit. Again, theres real joyous momentum in chaining every suits distinct movesets....

And thus the cycle where players come back momentarily for new islands, then leave again continues… The next major Temtem update, Temtem version 1.7, is due in early June. It will introduce the Arcade Bar, a minigame emporium promised during the game’s Kickstarter. For this, we sincerely apologize."...

Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game review: the dirt's as good as ever, but the science is a bit too clean

Speed is, ultimately, the modus operandi of a car. Expeditions: A Mudrunner Gamedemonstrates this not to be the case. This bouncy, slimy off-roading simulator is the most fun I’ve had with an imaginary car since 2018’sJalopy. I’ll circle back to the game’s theme and structure later. In its moment-to-moment, Expeditions is rather wonderful. Although each vehicle handles differently, they broadly function in the same way. It’s surprising how quickly these driving techniques become intuitive....
