Monster Hunter Wilds review

Let us consider for a moment the duality of Monster Hunter. And that’s just the basic stuff. ButMonster Hunter Wildsgoes even further. That’s not to say Wilds is an open-world Monster Hunter, though.

Ruffy and the Riverside's smart texture swapping makes for a charming 90s platformer throwback

Sometimes I really do miss the 90s, especially for the games. The mind-blowing explorable worlds ofSuper Mario 64compared to the Game Boy levels in my hand. The daft inventiveness of Banjo Kazooie. The (supposedly) mature comedy and film references of Conker’s Bad Fur Day. Yet Ruffy and the Riverside thrives for its thoroughly modern gimmick: the power to swap textures. Turn water into vines to climb a waterfall! Turn stone blocks into wood to smash them!...

Avowed's Tusks Map And Points Of Interest

Galawain’s Tusks is certainly the least aesthetically pleasing map in the game, as the lava from Mt. Forja and Solace Keep along with the acid sea have turned the entire region a red, greyish color. Here are the major locations you’ll come across in Galawain’s Tusks: Mt. Forja is the only location in Galawain’s Tusks that isn’t immediately accessible when you arrive.

D&D 5e Is Fully Represented In Solasta 2, For Better And Worse

The 2021 RPG released to favorable reviews but didn’t break into the mainstream. Ignoring the comparisons to Baldur’s Gate 3, the combat otherwise feels great. I was repeatedly rewarded for thinking things through before engaging a target. I’m most curious to see how the full game will handle the roleplaying side of things. I’m still undecided on Solasta II. Solasta II is set to launch for PC. Got a news tip or want to contact us directly?...
