Of all the amazing things a game likeDungeons & Dragonscan accomplish, creating your character and roleplaying them is the highlight of this type of game. Your character can be anything (within reason), from benevolent heroes to morally ambiguous people, or even a bad person with the occasional nice moment. However, D&D is a group game, and though there are many concepts you can go for with your character, not all of them are a good fit in a game with multiple people....

Quick Links As soon as you start playingRune Factory: Guardians Of Azumaand take a glance at the main menu, you’ll quickly notice the profile section. This section contains information on all the special villagers that you meet on your journey, and it’s divided into two parts. The first half shows all the characters you may romance with while the second half shows the bondable character. Suzu belongs to the latter half of the group, but that doesn’t make it useless to increase your bond with her....

It looks like even some developers working withNintendoonSwitch 2games don’t consider the infamous Game-Key cards as physical releases, asCapcomseems to think of them as digital sales. Despite beingone of the most anticipated console releases of all time and having sold like hot cakes since last week, the Nintendo Switch 2 has faced a surprising amount of controversy over the last few months.The high price of gamesand “lack of innovation” instantly jump to mind, but thebiggest issue for many has been the infamous Game-Key cards....

The opening ofDeath Stranding 2features a cinematic journey with beautiful music, much like the original game. This time around, however, the song is Minus Sixty One by Woodkid - a French music video director and singer-songwriter. The song, originally featured on his 2020 album S16, dynamically plays as Sam and Lou trek their way home through the rocky mountain terrain, adjusting the beat and intensity of the song based on the pace and path of your journey....

When Disney announced it wasinvesting $1.5 billion in Epic Gameswith an eye toward integrating its IP intoFortnite, I was over the moon. As a Disney Adult – though one who will deny it if ever asked in person – and a Fortnite fan, what could be better? Ultimately, many, many things will be better because whatever this turns out to be, it won’t be what you’re hoping for. I was ready to fall deep for whatever marketing speak was thrown my way about bridging the worlds of Fortnite and Disney....

Nintendorecently revealedDonkey Kong Bananza has been in development for a very long timeand that, likeMario Kart World,it was originally supposed to be a Nintendo Switch game. Now, Nintendo has gone a step further, sharing screenshots that demonstrate why it made the call to pivot and make DK’s next 3D adventure aSwitch 2exclusive instead. SinceBananzais now only two days away,the latest edition of Nintendo’s Ask The Developer seriesis all about its upcoming exclusive....

Nintendoshowed off a lot more ofDonkey Kong Bananzavia a Direct on Wednesday, and I don’t think I’m going against the grain at all when I say the nextSwitch 2exclusive looks pretty good. Some Switch 2 owners think it looks so good that they’ve been joking that Nintendo should raise the price. As excited as we all were to get our first proper look at the Switch 2 back in April, the full reveal was tainted somewhat by the follow-up reveal thatMario Kart World would be an $80 game....

Summary Dragon Ball Project: Multihas been in the works for a little while now. It’s a slightly bizarre MOBA titlethat was announced about a year agothat plays much like games such as Pokemon Unite and League of Legends. A few people got the chance to try it out in a regional test after its announcement, but specific details about the game still haven’t been revealed. We’ve known for a while that Dragon Ball Project: Multi isn’t the game’s true name, since its current title screams ‘placeholder’, and exactly when the game will release hasn’t been mentioned either,besides a vague 2025 release window....

Since the game’s launch earlier this month,Dune: Awakeninghas been plagued by one very prevalent complaint – its endgame. The Deep Desert, in which players can wage war against each other amidst grandfather worms and spice fields, is, to use a technical term, not good. Those who would prefer PvE feel locked out of the endgame right now, while players who want to engagein meaningful PvP combatfind the Deep Desert strangely empty and devoid of life....

After sitting through a barrage of trailers at last week’s Summer Game Fest showcase, there were only a few that stuck in my mind. Heavy hitters likeResident Evil RequiemandStranger Than Heavenhave dominated headlines and my imagination, but I’ve also saved some mental space for a few indie charmers like Felt That Boxing and Into the Unwell. End of Abyss, a top-down atmospheric horror debut from Section 9 Interactive, was not one of those games....

Atlus has crafted some of the most interesting JRPGs in the industry. They are beloved by many, but have never truly broken into the mainstream outside of heavy-hitters likePersona 4 and 5. Most of their peak era lies within the PlayStation 2 and the handheld Nintendo DS era, where other games, like Kingdom Hearts 2 and JRPG ports like Chrono Trigger, overshadowed these hidden gems. For that reason, an almost cult following of fans has petitioned Atlus to bring some of these compelling experiences into modern consoles, and even fix some of the glaring issues that have gatekept these games from the public....

Summary Back in March, we covered the fact thatsomeone was trying to get a Fable 2 recompile project off the ground. If successful, this would make the second game in the much-loved series run natively on PC for the first time ever, since it only ever made it toXbox 360. However, the project now needs extra hands on board. The previous developer who was leading the project has had to step away, and the current lead, Loreaxe, has quite a lot on their plate....
