10 Things You Can Do In BG3 That Are Against D&D Rules

Sarah-Jane Simpson — Sun, 10 Dec 2023 20:00:17 GMT

Baldur’s Gate 3 all takes place on the Sword Coast, an area in the Forgotten Realms, which is the default setting for Dungeons & Dragons. Along with the world, BG3 uses a modified version of DnD fifth edition rules to bring the adventure to life. However, changes have obviously had to be made to translate the tabletop experience to a video game. While some of these are relatively small, others could cause confusion for new players joining DnD from BG3; there are some things in the game that bend or even break the TTRPG rules.

Ben Brosofsky — Sun, 10 Dec 2023 16:00:19 GMT

Romance plays a big part of Baldur's Gate 3, and wrapping up relationship arcs can easily leave a gaping hole in their wake. With a strong cast of characters to build relationships with, there's more depth and variety involved than the more obligatory approach to love that some games traffic in. Luckily, Baldur's Gate 3 isn't the only title to feature a strong approach to the subject, so jumping into another experience is always a possibility.

Melissa Sarnowski — Sun, 10 Dec 2023 14:00:14 GMT

Red Dead Redemption 2 has been available for a few years now, but that doesn't mean that a new playthrough can't feel fresh. The modding community is active and continues releasing new mods while updating old ones. As a result, RDR2 can be made into an entirely different game by installing select mods.

10 Reasons You'll Never Quit The Sims 4 (Despite Its Flaws)

Lee D'Amato — Sat, 09 Dec 2023 16:00:16 GMT

The Sims 4 isn't perfect, but it's hard to give up on. First released in 2014, but it's had regular updates and DLC drops in the decade since. The most recent DLC, Horse Ranch, came out a few months ago in July 2023. But whether they wait anxiously for every single new release or content themselves with the base game and a wealth of player-created content, The Sims 4's most ardent devotees have become inextricably attached to the game in the near-decade since its release.

10 Things In Baldur's Gate 3 Honour Mode That Make The Game Way Harder

Lee D'Amato — Sat, 09 Dec 2023 12:00:17 GMT

The most recent patch for Baldur's Gate 3 adds two new gameplay settings, one of which is the ultra-difficult Honour Mode. It's one of two new modes added in Patch 5 of Baldur's Gate 3, in addition to the highly flexible Custom Mode. In many ways, it's similar to the hardest default difficulty setting in BG3, Tactician Mode, but is far from a simple expansion thereof. In fact, it's so much harder, it includes a lengthy pop-up window warning about all the ways it can screw players over. It's less than ideal for a first playthrough, but could be interesting for a repeat or challenge run.

Ben Brosofsky — Wed, 06 Dec 2023 16:00:21 GMT

It's been over a decade since The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim was released, but a continual influx of mods ensures that the experience remains fresh year after year. From its atmospheric setting to roleplaying possibilities, Skyrim is a uniquely compelling game, and mods help smooth over the rougher aspects or add new features to make it better than ever.

10 Ways Baldur's Gate 3 Has Gotten Even Weirder Since Launch

Lee D'Amato — Wed, 06 Dec 2023 13:00:19 GMT

Baldur's Gate 3 was always a bit off-kilter, but it's only gotten weirder since launch. While each patch aims to fix some of the game's bugs, oversights, and oddities (and often succeeds), each one also adds to the myriad of player options available in the game. And Baldur's Gate 3 players have gone out of their way to prove that they're deeply, deeply weird.

Lee D'Amato — Tue, 05 Dec 2023 19:00:18 GMT

For better or worse, the Nintendo Switch version of the Batman: Arkham Trilogy includes many changes from the games' original versions. The Batman: Arkham series actually consists of four primary games released between 2009 and 2015: Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Origins, and Arkham Knight. The Switch collection includes three of the above, leaving out the prequel Origins.

The professions in World of Warcraft have changed a lot from expansion to expansion.

10 Coolest New Additions In Disney Dreamlight Valley's A Rift In Time Expansion

Carrie Lambertsen — Tue, 05 Dec 2023 12:00:16 GMT

Disney Dreamlight Valley is launching out of early access and is celebrating its release by also debuting a new expansion pass A Rift In Time. This expansion to the game has much more content than any of the previously seen Dream Bundles, which only had a couple of quests and outfits. A Rift In Time appears to nearly double the size of the game by adding in an entirely new area consisting of three biomes, new resources, characters, and an involved story campaign that will take place over several chapters.

10 Removed Features From Ark: Survival Ascended That Completely Change The Game

Melissa Sarnowski — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 21:00:27 GMT

Like many games, ARK: Survival Ascended went through changes in development that resulted in features being cut from the final product. As a result, the game's early variations throughout development that might've been teased don't match the game that ends up being launched. While some removed features are so minor that their absence isn't felt, other removed features could've made Ark: Survival Ascended feel like a completely different game.

10 Best-Selling Call Of Duty Games

John Sapienza — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 18:00:26 GMT

The Call of Duty franchise has been ingrained in popular discourse since its inception in 2003, and it has produced one of the most devoted and diehard fan bases in the entire gaming community. The Call of Duty franchise earned a place in the Guinness World Records in April 2021 as the best-selling first-person shooter video game series, with over 400 million games sold at that time. In the years since that achievement, sales numbers have continued to grow, and the enjoyment that players have for the series remains.

Hogwarts Legacy: 10 Best Talents To Make Your Player Powerful

Joanna Koziol — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 17:00:23 GMT

Although the fifth-year protagonist is surprisingly adept at magic, they'll still need to make use of Hogwarts Legacy's best talents in order to survive against the many enemies they encounter. However, with five different skill trees and 48 different talents, it can be overwhelming trying to decipher which are most useful. Of course, the relevance of each individual talent is heavily dependent on playstyle, so there's no one build that's the best choice for everyone. Across the board, however, witches and wizards can't go wrong by unlocking the 10 most powerful talents in Hogwarts Legacy.

10 Super Mario RPG Secrets With The Coolest Rewards

Matthew Wilcox — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 16:00:23 GMT

There are plenty of cool secrets to find in Super Mario RPG, ranging from simple Easter eggs to difficult but rewarding challenges. Searching for secrets like these can be a fun diversion from the main game, especially if grinding to reach Super Mario RPG’s maximum level, but in many cases they also offer extra objectives for people to aim for. Of course, some secret rewards can have a greater impact on gameplay than others, but finding them all can still provide many fun experiences regardless.

10 Coolest Items To Fuse With The Master Sword In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Joanna Koziol — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 14:00:21 GMT

The Master Sword is the most iconic weapon in the Zelda series, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gives it even more utility, gaining extra benefits with the help of Fuse. Link's newfound ability to attach items to his armaments has resulted in some creative and awe-inspiring combinations, ranging from death-dealing weapons of destruction to ones that are plain silly. With hundreds of different materials to choose from, though, players may be unsure of which items to attach to the Master Sword for the best results.

Skyrim: 10 Best Wives To Marry

Tamara Garcia — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 21:00:18 GMT

The setting of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim may be rather chilly, but the game's best wives can warm the Dragonborn's heart. Out of the 66 total marriage candidates, there are 30 female characters that players can romance, regardless of their in-game gender or race. As such, there are plenty of options for anyone to explore - but 10 in particular stand out as the best wives in Skyrim, thanks to their unique personalities, captivating backstories, and specific gameplay advantages. Unfortunately, Skyrim's age becomes quite apparent when examining the romance system.

All Super Mario RPG Post-Game Bosses, Ranked By Difficulty

Carrie Lambertsen — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 20:00:18 GMT

The remake of Super Mario RPG is not a very long game by today's standards, but things don't actually end when many might think they do after the final battle. One of the biggest alterations between the original title from 1996 and the new 2023 remake of Super Mario RPG is the addition of new post-game content. This gives Mario and his friends an additional challenge of rematches against seven of the bosses in the game, but, of course, now they are much more powerful in preparation for their second chance at victory.

10 Shiny Pokémon Cards From Paldean Fates You'll Want ASAP

Carrie Lambertsen — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 19:00:27 GMT

The Pokémon Trading Card Game is not slowing down any with its releases of new expansion sets to Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet, and this next one may be the most popular yet. The Paldean Fates set will kick off the TCG's 2024 lineup with 240 cards, over 100 of which will feature shiny and new Pokémon ex variations. A comparable set has already debuted in Japan with the name Shiny Treasure ex although the full card lists for the two will not be identical. While, at the time of writing, there has not yet been a full reveal of which cards will carry over to Paldean Fates, there are many that are expected to.

Carrie Lambertsen — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 15:00:23 GMT

The release of Mortal Kombat 1 rebooted the iconic fighting game franchise's universe, and now post-launch content is steadily rolling out in the form of the Kombat Pack. The game series has a rich history of in-universe characters, constantly reappearing in new installments, but MK1's Kombat Pack DLC will only bring three returning characters. The other three will be guest appearances from other media, another series tradition of sorts, albeit a more recent one. The Kombat Pack began rolling out incrementally in November 2023, and is expected to continue beyond summer 2024.

Genshin Impact: All Cryo Characters, Ranked

Harry Mourtzanakis — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 13:00:19 GMT

Cryo characters in Genshin Impact are capable of manipulating ice powers, with Cryo being one of the six available elements in the game. There are several playable characters built around the element. Represented by a snowflake symbol, Cryo characters are oriented toward ice-based attacks and skills, and excel at freezing opponents and triggering reactions like Melt, for instance. Some Cryo users are available from the main storyline, such as Kaeya, while others require a bit more luck with the pull rates in Genshin Impact. Nevertheless, there are many great options to choose from.

10 Sassy BG3 Characters With The Best Dialogue

Lee D'Amato — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 12:00:18 GMT

There's plenty of sass to be had in Baldur's Gate 3. Its characters always have something to say, and more often than not, that something is a cheeky one-liner or a snide snipe. Whether they're putting down an omnipotent boss, critiquing one of Tav's decisions, or simply making a flippant remark, almost every character in Baldur's Gate 3 has a potentially smart mouth - the only difference is how often they choose to open it.

20 Best Online Games To Play With Friends Right Now

Garrett Ettinger — Sat, 02 Dec 2023 21:30:20 GMT

While gaming has been known to be a solo experience for some, for others, it's a great way to connect with friends via complex narrative-driven titles like Baldur's Gate 3 or visceral FPS games like Counter-Strike. In fact, for those who live far from each other, gaming is a convenient way to reconnect and spend time with friends they wouldn't otherwise see in person. With the popularization of VoIP programs like Discord, talking to friends while playing games has never been easier.

God Of War Ragnarök: All 10 Berserker Boss Battles, Ranked By Difficulty

Caleb Greenough — Sat, 02 Dec 2023 20:30:24 GMT

Berserker fights represent some of the hardest challenges that God of War Ragnarök has to offer, but some Berserker boss battles are harder than others. The God of War series has always offered up unique threats for protagonist Kratos to overcome, and the conclusion to Kratos's Norse Saga journey is no different. Although Kratos will doubtless continue to face more gods in the future, the Berserker fights currently stand as some of his greatest achievements.

13 Fastest Mario Kart 8 Setups

Harry Mourtzanakis — Sat, 02 Dec 2023 19:30:17 GMT

Mario Kart 8, easily one of the greatest kart racers of all time, includes plenty of vehicle customization options to make each race the fastest possible run. Players are free to mix and match their tires, kart, glider, and, of course, character. In Mario Kart 8, it's important to keep track of all five stats of speed, acceleration, weight, handling, and traction, and how they correlate with each other, in order to get the speediest set-up possible.

10 Most Accurate Sci-Fi Games, Ranked

Lee D'Amato — Sat, 02 Dec 2023 17:30:18 GMT

Every science fiction game has a different approach to accuracy, whether it's Mass Effect's complex empirical lore or Cyberpunk 2077's elevation of real, present-day issues. The issue of accuracy in science fiction is a prickly one. The two elements it's made up of - hard, demonstrable science and fanciful, speculative fiction - seem inherently opposed to one another. As a result, different works of sci-fi have different approaches to balancing the two halves, with some using reality as a jumping-off point for fantastical concepts, while others seem to conjure pseudoscientific ideas from thin air.

Canceled Rockstar Games & Projects You’ll Probably Never Get To Play

Glenn Bunn — Sat, 02 Dec 2023 15:30:25 GMT

Since Rockstar Games was established as a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive in December 1998, the studio has released several acclaimed titles, most notably the Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption series. Despite this, the company has worked on several titles that have gone on to be either officially canceled or simply never completed.

9 D&D Spells That Were Cut From Baldur’s Gate 3 (But Should Be Added For DLC)

Sarah-Jane Simpson — Sat, 02 Dec 2023 12:00:21 GMT

Baldur’s Gate 3 has an arsenal of spells for characters to learn over the course of their adventures that cover an array of effects and scenarios. Amazingly, however, there were almost more Dungeons & Dragons spells included in this already impressive list. Scouring through the game files reveals evidence of spells that didn’t make it into the final release of BG3, including some potential game changers.

10 Funniest Super Mario RPG Easter Eggs

Lee D'Amato — Fri, 01 Dec 2023 17:00:24 GMT

There are many secrets throughout Super Mario RPG. Some of them, like hidden treasures and secret bosses, actually serve a purpose. Others, however, are included just for fun. Super Mario RPG has a delightfully silly tone. It never takes itself too seriously, it constantly makes fun of itself, and it includes countless subtle nods to other Nintendo and Square Enix-produced games.

All 13 Brooms In Hogwarts Legacy, Ranked Worst To Best

Joanna Koziol — Fri, 01 Dec 2023 16:00:23 GMT

Witches and wizards have long been known to get around on broomsticks, but that doesn't mean people can't take to the skies in style with Hogwarts Legacy's best brooms. Naturally, these magical household items all share the same general shape and structure, but with unique decor and detailing, some stand out as better-looking than others. Everyone, regardless of their taste, can find the perfect accessory with which to take flight in the Harry Potter prequel - especially if they keep their eyes peeled for the best brooms in Hogwarts Legacy.

10 Skyrim Mechanics Every Dragonborn Should Just Avoid

Sarah-Jane Simpson — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 16:30:13 GMT

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is a game of freedom, with the power to choose any path and for each Dragonborn to be whatever they wish. However, such freedom and choice means that there will be some game mechanics that will be outright ignored by some. Whether it's because the mechanic is broken, boring, or because it serves no function outside a very specific set of circumstances, there are some Skyrim game mechanics that will be avoided by Dragonborns of all kinds.

20 Best Star Wars Games

Kyle Gratton — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 12:00:16 GMT

Even from its earliest years, the monumental Star Wars franchise has extended to video games. Although its nascent arcade offerings are humble compared to modern games, even some older Star Wars games are classics worth playing. Star Wars may be best known for its blockbuster films, but the franchise's video game sector has been far more prolific, and the medium offers a level of interactivity that can't be matched. The galaxy far, far away captures the imagination like few fictional settings can manage, and games allow players a wide range of in-universe experiences, including dueling with lightsabers, piloting a starfighter, and marching into the battles of the Clone Wars.

10 Biggest Differences Between Ark: Survival Ascended & Survival Evolved

Garrett Ettinger — Wed, 29 Nov 2023 19:00:14 GMT

Though Ark: Survival Ascended has the same core gameplay loop as Ark: Survival Evolved, there are some differences between the two titles. After all, though it has undergone a series of major updates and expansions since it was launched, Survival Evolved is now nearly a decade old, having been released in 2015. The multiplayer dinosaur survival game has remained wildly popular, and Ark: Survival Ascended updates the game to the much more powerful Unreal Engine 5 while including the expansions for Evolved, including Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, and more.

10 Games Like Grand Theft Auto To Hold You Over Until GTA 6 Releases

Ben Brosofsky — Wed, 29 Nov 2023 15:45:13 GMT

Although a reveal of Grand Theft Auto 6 is finally impending, the game is unlikely to actually arrive for a while yet, leaving a gap to fill for anyone ready for the launch. Finding alternatives to the Grand Theft Auto experience can be difficult, as few games can boast the scope and variety of what the crime saga from Rockstar Games has to offer. Luckily, there's still a library of games that make for decent alternatives, with some being truly excellent experiences in their own right.

10 Fun Super Mario RPG Minigames That Also Have Great Rewards

Lee D'Amato — Wed, 29 Nov 2023 13:00:14 GMT

Minigames are some of the most enjoyable parts of Super Mario RPG. Sure, the main campaign is fun enough; the delightful enemy designs, fast-paced combat, and evocative music keep it perfectly interesting. But sometimes, players need a break, especially when it's time to decompress after beating one of Mario RPG's hardest bosses. That's where the minigames come in. Each one is original, accessible, and enjoyable, but some definitely stand out from the pack.

Every Baldur’s Gate 3 Romance Option, Ranked Worst To Best

Sarah-Jane Simpson — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 21:00:14 GMT

Like many RPGs, Baldur's Gate 3 allows for characters to be romanced, adding further depth to an already epic tale. These romances can open up new dialogue and create a deeper understanding of the world. However, with so many romance options available, it's important to know who is worth wooing.

Baldur’s Gate 3: 7 Dark Urge Builds Perfect For Roleplay

Sarah-Jane Simpson — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 11:06:12 GMT

Baldur’s Gate 3’s Dark Urge Origin is unique to the other Origin characters as it allows more freedom while still playing an interesting fixed backstory. Race and class can be changed to suit the particular playthrough; however, the Dark Urge's background provides a fantastic connection to the main plot of BG3. Certain classes and subclass, though, are a better fit for roleplaying such a complicated character.

10 Best D&D Video Games You Can Still Play (That Aren't Baldur's Gate 3)

Ben Brosofsky — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 20:03:13 GMT

Baldur's Gate 3 might have set a new standard in Dungeons & Dragons video games, but it's far from the only title associated with the tabletop game to offer a unique and rewarding experience. DnD video games have a rich history, from the unlicensed 1975 RPG dnd to huge projects from major developers. Not every experience has aged perfectly, but the best DnD video games are still plenty of fun today and can make for great alternatives to Baldur's Gate 3.

10 Things About Baldur's Gate 3's Story That Make No Sense

Melissa Sarnowski — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 13:00:15 GMT

Baldur's Gate 3 is a massive game that weaves together countless side stories along with its main plot, making the world of Faerûn feel alive and fleshed out. But with such a large scope and an enemy that threatens the entire plane, it's natural that there will be a few plot holes spread throughout the three acts. These plot holes might not affect the story as a whole, but they might leave Tav scratching their head and wondering why nobody seems to care about those missing details.

7 Weird Baldur's Gate 3 Spells You've Probably Never Used (But Should)

Sarah-Jane Simpson — Sat, 25 Nov 2023 19:00:12 GMT

Being based in the world of Dungeons & Dragons, Baldur’s Gate 3 is packed full of awesome spells to cover a multitude of situations. However, when they are examined closely, some spells are more than a little odd. Either because of their outcomes or the concept behind them in general, these spells are some of the weirdest in Baldur's Gate 3.

10 SNES Games That Need A Remake After Super Mario RPG

Ben Brosofsky — Sat, 25 Nov 2023 17:00:15 GMT

The Super Mario RPG remake just brought an SNES classic back in freshened-up form, but it's not the only game from the system that deserves a new treatment. The Nintendo Switch version is loyal to the original style and material of Super Mario RPG, redoing isometric art in a direct polygonal recreation with a bit of extra detail and fluidity in movement. Remakes can often be controversial due to bugs, abandoned features, or lost atmosphere, but this is one example of how effective doing things right can be.

10 Zelda: TOTK Shrines That Should Have Been Longer

Carrie Lambertsen — Sat, 25 Nov 2023 16:00:14 GMT

Both The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and its predecessor, Breath of the Wild, have many creative and challenging puzzles for Link to try his hand at inside the shrines throughout Hyrule. These shrines offer ways for new skills to be introduced to players and take the place of some of the game mechanics that were handled by dungeons in other entries in the series. While dungeons would give a much larger and more involved place for these abilities to be used, the shrines are often designed to be very short examples to show how Link can utilize that skill in the overworld.

RDR2: 10 Perfect Ways To Say Goodbye Before Arthur's Last Ride

Lee D'Amato — Sat, 25 Nov 2023 13:00:15 GMT

The final moments of Red Dead Redemption 2 can be pretty intense, so it's nice to take some time for Arthur before heading into the final mission. Players really get to know everything about RDR2's characters throughout - their secrets, their pasts, their hopes, and eventually, their ends. As a result, it hurts to say goodbye, even if they already know what's going to happen.

10 Best Nintendo 3DS Games Of All Time

Carrie Lambertsen — Fri, 24 Nov 2023 21:03:14 GMT

The Nintendo 3DS family of handheld consoles are still used by many today due mainly to the incredible library of games released for them. Features such as dual screens, touchscreen, 3D capability, and the Street Pass all helped set the little handheld apart from its predecessors and the competition. These mechanics were used to great effect for many of the titles that were designed for the system, but even games that did not use its unique technology were still good.

20 Best Video Games For Couples (According To Reddit)

Maja Cacic — Fri, 24 Nov 2023 20:00:17 GMT

Sure, romantic dinners at fancy restaurants and long walks on the beach are great ways to get to know someone, but engaging in virtual challenges of multiplayer video games like Diablo 4 or Stardew Valley can really show one's true face, and, eventually, put every relationship to the test. Besides, it's a witty option for love birds who can't spend much time together, such as in the case of a long-distance relationship. For long-term couples who are avid hobbyists, video games can be a perfect recipe to spice things up as well as for practicing communication and teamwork.

10 Rarest Skyrim Discoveries From Players In 2023

Bruno Yonezawa — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 19:00:14 GMT

Players are still making discoveries in Skyrim, even though Bethesda’s critically acclaimed RPG is over 12 years old.

10 RPGs On PC You Won't Regret Sinking 100+ Hours Into

Ben Brosofsky — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 15:00:15 GMT

Length isn't always a good thing in games, but great experiences like certain RPGs on PC can make hour after hour feel worthwhile. Roleplaying games are one area where racking up 100 hours or more can be completely reasonable, with involving stories gaining extra mileage through diverse side content and potential for replayability. PC is the perfect destination for expansive RPG experiences of every type, and there's something for everyone looking to find a time-sink that will offer a major return on investment.

20 Best Cross-Platform Games To Play Right Now

Bruno Yonezawa — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 21:00:20 GMT

When it comes to choosing what to play on, cross-platform games are some of the best choices as they don't restrict everyone to the same platform. There are several cross-platform games, like Genshin Impact and Final Fantasy 14, that allow players to try out titles with friends on different console families and even continue their gameplay on an entirely different device. Cross-platform is a broader term for games that have cross-play or cross-save functionality. While cross-play allows them to play with or against players on other platforms, cross-save allows them to share their profiles and saves across several platforms.

Sarah-Jane Simpson — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 20:00:15 GMT

Clerics are one of the most versatile support classes in Baldur's Gate 3, capable of providing healing alongside buffs. When creating a cleric, one of the first steps is to choose their subclass, known as their domain, which will determine what spells and abilities the character will have. With seven subclasses currently available, it is important to know which are the strongest and have the most to offer to make the most of any Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough.

10 Hardest Bosses In Super Mario RPG, Ranked By Difficulty

Lee D'Amato — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 19:00:16 GMT

Super Mario RPG has some tough bosses. Despite being a relatively easy game overall, it can sometimes surprise players with formidable foes who come out of nowhere. Somewhere between their cutesy character designs and gimmicky mechanics, it's easy to underestimate them, only to be left mouth agape when the entire party is defeated. As a rule, the party should always be prepared with recovery items, the finest equipment available, the best playable characters in Mario RPG, and consistent attack timing to defeat these difficult bosses.

Every Disney Lorcana: Rise Of The Floodborn Enchanted Card (& How Much They're Worth)

Ben Brosofsky — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 17:00:17 GMT

Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn features a new array of Enchanted cards, and all of them are already commanding impressive prices on the secondary market. Although Enchanted cards feature the same abilities as non-Enchanted counterparts, the designation sets them apart as the highest rarity in the game and offers alternate art and a special foil treatment. Like Disney Lorcana: The First Chapter, Rise of the Floodborn features a total of 12 Enchanted cards of varying Ink colors and usage.

The Walking Dead: Destinies includes several characters from the popular zombie franchise that players can take control of to change the course of the story. Each of these characters has their own unique skillset, called "Natural Abilities", which involves a ranged weapon of choice, and a preferred melee weapon. GameMill Entertainment's title hasn't been particularly well received and has been deemed one of the year's worst games alongside another of the publisher's IP-based games, Skull Island: Rise of Kong. However, the idea at its core was one that had potential.

Every Villain In Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Ranked

Melody MacReady — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 14:00:15 GMT

The spin-off title Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales isn't quite as long as its predecessor, but it still manages to juggle a handful of villains. Insomniac Games' first game in the series, Marvel's Spider-Man, put players in control of an experienced Peter Parker, thus including a deluge of villains, including the Sinister Six. Miles Morales' villain slate is comparatively modest, clocking in at a total of five, but this smaller cast works for the benefit of the spin-off's runtime and the constraints of its narrative.

Garrett Ettinger — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 12:40:13 GMT

There's just something special about horror video games — whether it's the visceral feeling of narrowly escaping death in Resident Evil 4 or the sinking feeling that occurs when hiding in a dark corner in Dead by Daylight, the horror game genre can evoke feelings that no other game genre can. While the freedom of choice is certainly appreciated, especially for self-proclaimed gore hounds, there are so many titles it can make settling on which games to invest time into a harder endeavor than one would think.

Carrie Lambertsen — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 15:45:14 GMT

The remake of the Super Mario RPG is a good balance in keeping the foundation of everything that made the game special and unique, while still making some big changes to improve the mechanics, gameplay, and graphics. The original Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars was released in March 1996 for the SNES and now has been recreated for the Nintendo Switch for everyone to be able to revisit - or be introduced to - Mario's first questing adventure. Although the story has remained faithful to the original, several tweaks and added features have improved the quality-of-life experience of the game for the Switch.

Lee D'Amato — Mon, 20 Nov 2023 19:30:14 GMT

The playable characters in Persona 5 Tactica vary in terms of effectiveness. They're not unlike their Persona 5 Royal counterparts in that way, but there are some significant differences. In the original Persona 5 and its rerelease, a character's viability was determined by their base stats, strengths, weaknesses, and Persona skills. While all of that does factor into Persona 5 Tactica's character rankings, there are a few new mechanics to consider.

10 Reasons Level 20 in Baldur's Gate 3 Would Be Outrageously Fun

Lee D'Amato — Sun, 19 Nov 2023 13:00:18 GMT

There are many reasons why Baldur's Gate 3 sets a strict level cap at 12. There may not be much difference between 12 and 13, but in the upper levels of the Fifth Edition Dungeons & Dragons rules it's based on, things get a little out of hand. Starting around level 18, characters are able to cast all-powerful spells, and they begin to take on incredible class features that remove all restrictions on their abilities. It'd be a nightmare for game balance, to say the least, but some of the complex varieties of high-level spells would also be impossible to program into a video game.

10 Marvel Characters Who Deserve Their Own Game (After Wolverine)

Luke Horwitz — Sun, 19 Nov 2023 12:00:16 GMT

With Insomniac Games, the developer of the Marvel's Spider-Man series of games going on to create a video game starting Wolverine, Marvel's Wolverine, a question emerges regarding which other Marvel superheroes deserve their own game. Despite producing enormously popular comics, movies, and TV shows, Marvel has arguably only reached its video game peak fairly recently.

Baldur's Gate 3: 7 Things You Didn't Know About Dark Urge

Melissa Sarnowski — Sat, 18 Nov 2023 13:45:14 GMT

Baldur's Gate 3 offers a choice between existing Origin characters or a custom character at the start of the game. While this is one of the earliest decisions made in BG3, it's also among the most important. Specifically, the decision to choose certain Origins affects content, dialogue options, and even the gear that's available throughout the game's three acts. Choosing to play as the Dark Urge - a character halfway between entirely custom and an Origin option - is perhaps the most significant choice that can be made during character creation.

Ben Brosofsky — Fri, 17 Nov 2023 19:05:27 GMT

Rise of the Floodborn adds a huge batch of new cards to Disney Lorcana, and it's no surprise that some are immediately commanding high values on the secondary market. Supply issues that plagued Disney Lorcana: The First Chapter spiked demand for cards that were uncommon or especially effective, and at least some of this momentum inherently carries over to Rise of the Floodborn. Card values are likely to fluctuate heavily over time, but the launch of the expansion in local game stores is as good a time as any to look at the market.

Lee D'Amato — Fri, 17 Nov 2023 13:45:16 GMT

Party composition is the key to success in Super Mario RPG. It's not as big of a deal as some other Square Enix-originated RPGs, like the Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy series, but since the party is more customizable than certain other Mario RPGs, say, the Mario & Luigi RPG series, it does make a difference. Players can have up to three characters in their parties at a time, and, unique to the Super Mario RPG remake, can swap characters at any time during a battle for greater flexibility.

Lucas DeRuyter — Fri, 10 Nov 2023 12:41:54 GMT

Either way, choosing, customizing, and upgrading a set of armor is one of the best parts of the game.
