Elden Ring's launch trailer reveals new things, so be warned

you might watch it now, if you want? WhileElden Ringdoesn’t launch for another few days, the launch trailer launched today. So I’ll share the launch trailer with you but I won’t watch it myself. Even the game’s marketing team warn that it shows things we’ve not seen before. Alright then, I will avoid your hard work. Oh yeah, a poison hell so large and horrible it kills the framerate? Why would they make that?...

Gibbon: Beyond The Trees' demo has some real rad backflips

Admittedly, I was surprised when I saw it was going to be part of this week’sSteam Next Fest. Happily, Broken Rules have included a variety of control options on PC. Eat that, Tarzan. I also just want more of those heart-swelling backflips and slow-mo assists. Is it too much to hope for an endless runner mode, perhaps? For more Steam Next Fest recommendations, check out some of our otherfavourite demos to help you get started....

Guardians Of The Galaxy didn't meet Square Enix's sales expectations

Just likeMarvel’s Avengersbefore it. It’s a familiar comment, given Square Enixsaid similar about Marvel’s Avengers back in 2020. “Simply put, Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy is a really good time. If you’re a Marvel fan, this feels unmissable. Clearly people don’t listen to us, though. Or maybe you do but Square Enix just have unreasonably high expectations - it’s hard to say.

Atlus announce Soul Hackers 2, coming to PC in August

May I briefly say: hack the planet. Check out the RPG’s announcement trailer below. The term “apocalypse” is overused in video games but I’m well onboard when devils are involved. Those are games about summoning demons to battle for you, like Pokemon but more explicitly drawing from mythology. Atlus haven’t said much about the game, only announced it. Its existence is a surprise in itself. But hey, I’m always up for weird Atlus devils and angels and demons....

Best decks for the XYZ Festival event in Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel

This has also impacted Ritual monsters found commonly in Blue-Eyes and Gishki decks. With this protection, crucial XYZ monsters like Drident will be even more difficult for your opponent to overcome. One weakness of the deck without Tri-Brigade support cards is the weaker strength of many archetype-specific XYZ monsters. These can be summoned to the field easily using the effect ofNumeron CallingandNumeron web connection. However, the strength of its XYZ monsters make it a formidable deck to overcome even without this support....

FAR: Changing Tides review: a delightful adventure you'll be glad you played

At a glance, and for the first hour or two, much remains the same. The game involves alternating between tactile machine management and slow, gentle transit over gorgeous, painterly landscapes. This familiarity is by no means a criticism. Changing Tides takes place in a similar post-apocalyptic setting but unlike the first, its not quite as tranquil. Lone Sails was a world broken but almost at peace, moving on pleasantly without human rule....

Best Lost Ark Bard build: recommended skill levelling, engravings, and awakening skills for PvE and PvP

The number of engravings you might equip is variable, and depends on the engraving slots you have available. Class-specific bonus engravings require LearnedEngravingslots, which you unlock by reading books you accumulate throughout your adventures in Arkesia....
