It’s understood at this point that if you’re going to encroach onFromSoftware’s monopolyDark Soulsformula, you’d better come with your boss design A-game.Lies of Pdelivers and then some, setting itself apart from its inspirations and sculpting an experience and challenge worthy ofthe Soulsborne title. It’s no secret that Lies of P’s bosses are tough. But many of these bosses handle the learning curve well, using their seemingly endless pool of swipes, bites, grabs, delays, and puppet-smashing AOEs to force the player into mastering the mechanics of the game....

Clerics in the RPG world are often a healing class, but thanks to the versatility and creative power of Dungeons & Dragons, they’ve become a combination class that can do just about anything. The class still makes a great healer, if that’s the build you want, but Clerics can also be melee and ranged DPS fighters.

J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings is not only one of the best pieces of literature ever written, but it is also the source of inspiration behind the medieval fantasy genre as we know it. There’s no denying that it has created the path that many other writers, filmmakers, video game devs, or any other creators that have dabbled in the genre have walked down. It is truly one of the most important and beloved stories of our time....

Summary For whatever reason, there seem to be fewer 3D platformers being developed for modern systems such as thePlayStation 4and 5. Whether they’re too ambitious for many indie developers or larger publishers are unwilling to gamble on a genre that many believed peaked around the turn of the century, searching for 3D platformers on the PS4 andPS5can feel like yearning for water in the desert. Thankfully, some undeniably great 3D platformers have come out on Sony’s current and last-gen systems....

Blasphemous 2wears its Soulsborne influence proudly on its bloody, tattered sleeve. Fans of FromSoftware’s sadistic lineup will feel right at home here, cosied in amongst the intricate, shortcut-driven level design and the borderline-unfair combat scenarios. These fans will also be glad to know that Blasphemous 2 nails what is perhaps the defining trait of games in this sub-genre: incredibly punishing boss battles.

If there’s one thing thePokemon TCGdoes well, it regularly releases at least one outstanding supplemental expansion with big surprises in each generation. These expansions usually don’t alter the meta that much, as these cards are more focused on being collectible items with high values. This is exactly the case with Scarlet & Violet 151, an expansion focused on the first 151 Pokemon from Red, Yellow & Blue. This adventure through the original Kanto region aims to reignite the passion and love for the retro adventure, where everything started....

The hard part about being an autumnal gamer at heart is that most games aren’t fall-themed the whole way through. You have games likeNight in the Woodsor Knights and Bikes that capture that cozy feeling of fall. But, like the leaves turning crimson, gold, and pumpkin orange, the season is all too brief. Bully, for example, is an all-timer fall game, but given Rockstar open-school game’s campaign lasts the duration of an academic year, you only get a few hours of Halloween vibes....

Quick Links You have read this before: learning a fighting game is hard. And it’s true: it usually requires you to learn a ridiculous amount of moves from every character (not only yours, so you may also know what to expect), how to perform them in the most efficient way possible, and how the game’s systems work.

Licensed games aren’t as common as they used to be. Thanks to games taking longer to make now, they’re either high budget narrative blockbusters likeMarvel’s Spider-Man 2, smaller efforts likeTelltale’s The Expanse, or total garbage likeSkull Island: Rise of Kong. There is far less shovelware in the market in the modern era, and instead we’re all about live-service titles and sequels, rarely ever dipping into bargain bins at your local store in search of a hidden gem or some total rubbish....
