It’s nearly Christmas! To mark the occasion, I’ve been sinking into the galactic dystopian hellscape known as Citizen Sleeper , a game that has managed to make me audibly sob on three separate occasions now. That’s the sign of a winner. Aside from that, High of Life has me morbidly curious about how it all shakes out, more so because the gunplay is fun and I want to see how bad the humour really gets. Hades also has its hook in me once again, the sequel announcement making me dive in for a long awaited revi

Midnight Suns was bungled over the weekend (when I planned to finish it), since every time I opened the Operations table, the game crashed. And I’d sent Blade on a mission, who I now needed for the main story. But an update has come up and I’m finally able to complete that last stretch to boot Lilith back to Hell. Just one more mission to go, but I’ve already maxed my friendship with Spider-Man, Blade, Nico, and Magik, so I’m a winner as

Sometimes simple is good. While you're fighting against a Hyrdo Oceanid, you might have spotted this little guy as one of the possible summon it will conjure to act as a shield to soak any damage you d

Pixies are usually encountered very early in the game, making them a solid early-game encounter, as they are often one of the earliest party members that can heal. There are also many forms of the pixie that show up later in the game, such as the high pixie, allowing them to be important members of your party long term. Pixies are unquestionably one of the most iconic demons across Shin Megami Tensei, and you can always count on them showing up in a new installm

Curiously enough, one of the best Genshin Impact characters from 2022 is a 4-star character. While a few 4-star heroes are exceptionally good for their support roles, like this year’s Kuki Shinobu, Heizou sets himself apart through outstanding damage output. With a C6 Constellation, for instance, the otherwise tedious Inazuman detective can easily match a 5-star Wanderer in terms of Anemo DPS. Both of them are Anemo DPS that wield Catalysts and focus on Critical Damage with quick atta

My GOTY backlog is as cleared as it’s going to get and my review of High on Life is turned in, plus the World Cup will soon be over, so I’m back to playing for pleasure. That means I can finally finish Midnight Suns , and help it further solidify its spot as my favourite game of the year. I’m back on reviewing duties very soon, Fontaine Escoffier Storyline so I need to get it done sharp

This year, HoYoverse granted players two opportunities to pull for Kamisato Ayato. Though some prefer Childe over Ayato in Genshin Impact , the head of the Kamisato Clan and Yashiro Commission is one of the strongest Hydro DPS in the game. He is capable of putting out massive Hydro DMG against opponents, both through his consistently dependable Elemental Skill and his strong Elemental Burst. Because of his Burst, in fact, he can also be used as an off-field sub-DPS, though he reaches the status of one of the best Genshin Impact characters of 2022 when used exclusively as the main DPS in a t

I’ve finished work for the year, so I’ve got all the time in the world to pursue my hobbies! I’ve got a big pile of books to get through before I inevitably buy more in the new year, I’m going to cram in as many festive activities with my family as I possibly can, and I might even play some games, too. I’ve got a Pokedex to complete , and I’ll probably bounce off the current-gen Witcher 3 update as I have with the game so many times before. Dwarf Fortress and Vampire Survivors are also on the list, but in all likelihood I’ll buy FIFA in the current sale and rinse that until I

With an adequate character build for Yelan in Genshin Impact , she can be the team’s most consistent source of damage and Elemental Reactions. She can be paired up with, essentially, a DPS of any type since Hydro reacts with all the available Elements so far. Aside from how much havoc Yelan can actually wreak against opponents, she also serves as a support-battery, fueling the team with energy and keeping their Elemental Bursts up, scoring her a spot in Genshin Impact ’s best characters of 2022 l

Christmas is right around the corner, but gaming never sleeps. While we're trimming the tree, drinking egg nog, and [insert Christmas activity number 3], we'll also be gaming. He sees you when you're save scumming, he knows when you're camping, and he knows if you really think Disco Elysium is a masterpiece or whether you're just saying that to fit in. In any case, it's Christmas, there are video games, let's get to

It's no secret that Xiao is Genshin's resident edgelord and tsundere. This card doubles down on his beautifully cultivated "too cool for school" vibe to devastating effect. Guardian's Oath is stylish, colourful, and we keep getting lost in the stunning moon depicted just above Xiao's h
