Lords of the Fallen disables crossplay after multiplayer issues Lords of the Fallen developer Hexworks has announced that crossplay for the game will be disabled until issues with its performance have been addressed. This latest release is the follow-up to the 2014 release of the same name. Though the original received fairly mixed reviews, fans have significantly loftier hopes for this latest effort. The game features Soulslike combat and stunning visuals developed within Unreal Engine 5. In addition, there are nine different classes to choose from and a combination of melee and magical abilities. Unfortunately, anyone looking to experience those features with players on another platform may have to wait a while longer. Lords of the Fallen temporarily disables crossplay after performance issues Announcing the game’s delay via their social media accounts, the developer cited a lack of optimization as the reasoning behind the decision. Hexworks also claimed it was working with partners Redpoint and Epic Games to resolve the issue promptly. Though this will undoubtedly be disappointing news for some, traditional co-op and multiplayer remain active. Players who use the same platforms as their friends should be able to connect to each other’s games without issue. The community is also making known other issues related to the online matchmaking system. One user on Twitter wrote: “Please make sure multiplayer is matching players to closest ping, pretty sure I’m matching with Americans as an Australian and it’s just awful. I was really looking forward to the online but it’s currently extremely broken from latency” Despite the setback, critical reception to the game has been excellent. We gave it a 4/5, with the reviewer stating: “This is a game for those who miss the ‘classic Souls feel’ and wish to return to an adventure on a smaller and more detailed scale.” With many buying the game thanks to its promised multiplayer support, time will tell how much the disabling of this feature will affect its popularity.

Lords of the Fallen: Axiom and Umbral explained – Dexerto
Lords of the Fallen: Axiom and Umbral explained CI GamesLords of the Fallen allows players to walk between the world of living and the world of the dead. Here’s how both Axiom and Umbral work in Lords of the Fallen. Axiom and Umbral are two parallel worlds that simultaneously exist in Lords of the Fallen, one representing the real world, while another represents the spirit world, which players can either enter at will or peek into using a special lamp item. The game will require players to understand how both worlds work to solve puzzles, unlock new routes, and know when to switch back to the other world when the time is right. This takes some getting used to, but once you do, you’ll find yourself flitting between worlds when it suits you, taking advantage of this engaging and creative mechanic. Think of the system as an extension of Demon’s Souls soul form, or going Hollow in Dark Souls. However, it’s not you that changes, but the world around you – and it can often be to your benefit. Here’s how both worlds work. Axiom explained There’s not as much to say about Axiom as there is about Umbral. Axiom represents the real and default world in Lords of the Fallen. It is the world of the living and as close to normality and reality as things get in Mournstead. It’s also the safest world to be in, as while the spirits of the dead will be clawing at you in Umbral, for the most part, you’re safe from them. When you rest at a Vestige you’ll always awaken in Axiom, even if you approached the Vestige in Umbral. This essentially restores and resurrects you back into the world of the living. To re-enter Umbral you’ll need to either die, switch realms using your lamp, or raise the lamp to peek into Umbral while still in Axiom. Beware though, when raising the lamp, you’re able to physically interact with Umbral, and enemies can even pull you into it and out of Axiom. Umbral explained Umbral is a parallel dimension to Axiom that exists alongside it and sometimes even bleeds into the realm of the living, making it an ever-present threat and one that can’t be ignored for long. It is a nightmare hellscape and a dark, mirror dimension where everything is much more macabre, depicted as a twisted distortion of Axiom. It’s also much more dangerous. While Umbral bleeds into Axiom, the material world is present within the spirit realm. So, if you’re fighting an enemy in Axiom and you warp to Umbral, you’ll still be battling that enemy. Think of Umbral as another layer wrapped around Axiom. When you enter Umbral, the world of Axiom is still going on around you, you just now have two worlds to interact with. You can still interact with NPCs from Axiom and fight the same enemies in Umbral, but you’ll also need to contend with the spirits of the dead. You can escape Umbral enemies by using a Vestige or certain other waypoints to return to Axiom, but enemies that are routed in Axiom will still be a threat should you warp to Umbral. What’s worse, is the longer you remain in Umbral, the more hostile and powerful the spirits will become, ramping up the difficulty and making it harder to progress. Your health will also deplete and you won’t have the safety net of another world. Essentially, in Umbral, you’re made of glass. The benefits of Umbral When you do enter Umbral, it often pays to return to Axiom as soon as you can. However, entering Umbral often has its advantages. You can often use the realm to reach areas and items that aren’t accessible in Axiom. Is there a shiny item behind some railings in the real world that you can’t reach? No problem, lift your lamp and see if the route is accessible in Umbral. That way you can bypass them, retrieve the item, and go back without any fuss – just keep an eye out for malevolent spirits. Umbral also features routes and shortcuts that aren’t available in Axiom. If you’ve explored an area in Axiom and cleared out most of the enemies, it’s often worth exploring the area again in Umbral. This is especially useful if you’ve unlocked some shortcuts back to the nearest Vestige, as if things get dicey you can always run back and escape the danger. You’re likely to encounter new areas that were unavailable in Axiom. These often contain secret paths that lead to items or back to the game’s hub area. Be aware of the added danger in Umbral, but don’t ignore the realm of the dead, it can often be a blessing as well as a curse. Remember, some enemies can only be defeated or weakened in Umbral, even if they’re Axiom-based. They may have a parasite in Umbral that’ll need to be killed before they can take damage. This is also true of some bosses. Entering Umbral in Lords of the Fallen There are several ways to enter Umbral. While in Axiom, you can simply raise your lamp to see what the same area looks like in Umbral. This is often a nice way to see if it’s worth hopping over to Umbral before committing, or to interact with the world on Umbral’s terms for a brief moment. If a walkway is damaged in Axiom, but still standing in Umbral, then this is a great way to get across. Just raise your lamp, walk across the phantom walkway, and then put the lamp down again when you reach the other side. Remember, you can’t do much but walk with your lamp raised. So if you need to interact with Umbral properly, you can use your lamp to shed your life force and enter Umbral fully. You can do this any time, just be aware you can only return to Axiom if you find a Vestige or another return point, these are usually never too far away though, especially if the game has encouraged you to enter Umbral. Finally, you enter Umbral automatically if you die. This is good, as it essentially gives you a second chance after death. Even if you fall off a ledge, you’ll appear back at the top again, but now in Umbral. You can then resurrect at an Axiom point or Vestige like nothing happened. Be aware though, that if you die again in Umbral you’ll die properly, and be sent back to the last Vestige or checkpoint. Should a boss kill you in Axiom, the fight will continue in Umbral, so use this to your advantage.

Lords of the Fallen: A twisted love letter to classic Dark Souls – Dexerto
Lords of the Fallen: A twisted love letter to classic Dark Souls CI GamesThe Lords of the Fallen sequel/reboot draws near and after spending several hours playing it and chatting with its leading developers, we have some impressions to share. After playing the opening hours of 2023’s Lords of the Fallen, our journey through this nightmarish world was eerily familiar, yet filled with a current-gen polish that games like the Dark Souls trilogy and Bloodborne could only dream of. Our initial impressions were that the game felt a lot like the PS5 remake of Demon’s Souls, which is not a bad thing, but from an aesthetic point of view, Lords of the Fallen leans even more heavily into the grimdark setting. The game is both a sequel and a reboot of the original Lords of the Fallen from 2014. In terms of lore, the game is set in the same universe, but one thousand years after Harkyn’s brutal adventure, so fans of the original will be pleased to know that the events of that game have not been swept under the carpet. While 2023’s entry will stand on its own merits and tell its own story, it will follow on from one of LotF 2014’s three endings – although, you’ll need to wait and see to learn which one. Indeed, Harkyn and the events of the first game have fallen into myth and now a new champion rises to carve their own brutal legend. Gloriously grimdark Tonally, Lords of the Fallen (2023) is a much darker fantasy than the original game, abandoning the High Fantasy setting of LotF (2014) for something more akin to FromSoftware’s deliciously depressing multiverse. Fans of Bloodborne and the three Dark Souls games will lap this up, as Lords of the Fallen may be closer to being Dark Souls 4 than Elden Ring ever was. While Elden Ring marked a stunning evolution in the Soulslike formula, going open world and pushing the Souls series to incredible heights, it lacked the dank and oppressive atmosphere of earlier From games, at least for the most part. While exploration is paramount in all Soulslikes, and not taking anything away from Elden Ring’s GOTY status – as there’s a lot to be said for the claustrophobic corridors of Lordran, Dranglaic, and Lothric, not to mention the desolate battlements of Boletaria and the diseased streets of Yharnam – something was lost when FromSoftware made the transition to the open-world sandbox that was the Lands Between. While players were encouraged to forge their own path in Elden Ring (and what a glorious path it usually was), it lacked the atmosphere and character that often defined the previously more curated and smaller-scale obstacle courses of earlier games. Careful curation vs. Open world While freedom was Elden Ring’s key strength, it was also its limitation. While this was something we felt keenly back in our Elden Ring review, Lords of the Fallen reminded us of what these games can be when they aim to deliver a tighter experience. Lords of the Fallen scratches an itch we’d forgotten we were feeling, it fed an old craving that had been dormant since we played Demon’s Souls, during the launch of the PS5. Lords of the Fallen offers a classic Soulslike experience, a carefully curated journey into the darkness where only the bold will come out the other side. Gone are the lush fields and beauty spots that made Elden Ring such a stunning, if not still often forlorn experience. Instead, Lords of the Fallen drags you out of the light and back into the darkness. Then it continuously stomps on you until you’re molded into a shape that can not only face the horrors that lurk in this grim world but competently overcome them. The game does not feature an open world but instead exists in a cleverly interconnected area a lot like Bloodborne and Dark Souls, as well as the original LotF. Like FromSoftware’s titles and the original game, Lords of the Fallen is tough, even its opening cut scene makes it clear that the protagonist is merely a lamb to the slaughter. This world, and everything in it, wants you dead and you’ll be chewed up and spat out, sometimes literally, time and time again. In our playthrough of the opening hours we faced several bosses, some were quite simple duels while others were epic encounters with gigantic flesh monsters or cursed former heroes. Some we were able to beat during our first try while others took us a few more attempts. Malevolent multiplayer Unlike FromSoftware’s games or the single-player-only original Lords of the Fallen, this sequel/reboot can be played through in co-op in its entirety, we didn’t get to experience any multiplayer in this session but we were given some tantalizing information about how it will work. In previous Soulslike games, coop partners can be summoned at certain points to either help guide you through an area or to fight alongside you during a boss battle. Once their task is completed, your companion will return to their world and will need to be summoned again if your partnership is to continue. Lords of the Fallen will eliminate this requirement and will allow two players (at least) to seamlessly play through the whole game in a single sitting, should they wish. This is quite a radical departure from the established norm but will be great news to players who enjoy taking on monsters and exploring together. PvP will also exist in the form of invasions, however, we’re unsure if this mechanic will work like other Soulslike games, or feature its own unique style. We were also able to summon NPCs to help us during boss fights, they usually died before the battle was over, but provided a useful distraction. Although we imagine summoning an NPC will give the boss a health/power buff, so some players may choose to solo most foes. However, every NPC is a character from the game’s hub area and story, so each boasts a different fighting style, therefore some NPCs may be more useful in certain fights than others. Drag me to Hell The game’s main draw, and what separates it from previous Soulslikes is the Axiom and Umbral system. These are two parallel worlds that exist alongside and bleed into each other during gameplay. Axiom is the material world of the living while Umbral is the spirit world, a twisted Hell dimension where you’re vulnerable and continuously hunted by its spectral denizens. The longer you stay in Umbral, the more the danger will mount, pressuring players to return to Axiom – and relative safety – as soon as possible. Should you die in Axiom, you’ll enter Umbral and the world around you will change. The system reminded us of Demon’s Souls’ soul form or becoming Hollow in Dark Souls 1, although, rather than just you changing, it’s your surroundings too. This dual-world system is reminiscent of the Soul Reaver games, which used a similar dynamic. It’s sometimes necessary to briefly enter Umbral in order to solve certain puzzles. Rather than dying though, players can take advantage of a lamp in their possession to see what the location they’re in looks like in Umbral when compared to Axiom. What’s even more unsettling though, is raising the lamp for too long draws the attention of the lost souls of the Umbral plane, opening you up to attack even when in Axiom. We found the Axiom/Umbral system a little confusing at first, but the game offers various hints to help players understand and make use of the mechanic, and we’re confident it’ll be Lords of the Fallen’s crowning glory. However, there’ll be a contingent of gamers who find it annoying, especially when it breaks up the action to provide a challenging puzzle or obstacle to overcome. However, those who take the time to engage with it and make use of the system will be the ones who get the most out of Lords of the Fallen. While you explore one world, events continue in the other and this sometimes becomes apparent even without you raising the lamp or dying, which at times was very cool. As we said in our first preview of Lords of the Fallen, this is a game that every Soulslike fan needs to play, especially if you prefer the more curated design of the earlier entries. Couple that with current-gen visuals and some creative and original ideas, and Lords of the Fallen may be the first Soulslike game not developed by FromSoftware that pushes the envelope in a truly meaningful way, all while paying homage to what has come before.

Lord of the Rings: Gollum delayed “a few months” for “polishing” – Dexerto
Lord of the Rings: Gollum delayed “a few months” for “polishing” NaconDaedalic Entertainment and publisher Nacon have announced a delay for LOTR: Gollum, which previously bore a September 2022 release date. Nacon and Daedalic originally announced the Gollum-starring adventure in early 2019, promising to take players on a journey unlike any other. As opposed to some of the more action-oriented interactive experiences set in Middle-earth, LOTR: Gollum features gameplay that primarily focuses on stealth. The companies showcased some of Gollum’s stealth mechanics during the Nacon Connect stream earlier this month. However, the footage raised a lot of questions about the project’s polish, particularly due to its late 2022 launch date. LOTR: Gollum release date delay announced Daedalic and Nacon have issued a press release confirming that Lord of the Rings: Gollum will no longer hit stores this September. In the interest of delivering the “best possible experience,” the developer and publisher decided to postpone the stealth title’s release “by a few months.” Notably, such a move will allow “more time for polishing.” Nacon has yet to share a new due date for Gollum but concrete details on the matter should surface in the not-so-distant future. Following the release of the sneak-based gameplay footage, many were quick to point out the unrefined visual quality. The seemingly rudimentary mechanics left a lot to be desired, as well. If the Gollum gameplay in question represented the experience as a whole, a delay to LOTR: Gollum will likely benefit the final product. All in all, the project seems rather ambitious. In addition to emphasizing stealth, Daedalic’s new Lord of the Rings adventure will deeply explore the fractured mind of Gollum and Sméagol. Whenever the title launches, it will do so across Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S platforms.

Lords of the Fallen: 2023 Free content roadmap – Dexerto
Lords of the Fallen: 2023 Free content roadmap CI GamesThe Lords of the Fallen developers have laid out their free content roadmap for the rest of 2023. Here’s what’s coming to Lords of the Fallen between now and next year. Lords of the Fallen has now been out for several weeks and the response to CI Games’ Soulslike has been largely positive, with the game being a throwback to the older Dark Souls games, but firmly placed in the current gen. Now, the developers have unveiled the Lords of the Fallen content roadmap for the rest of 2023. The plan doesn’t involve any paid DLC or expansions but does add some fresh content and other changes that will see the game through to 2024 – when we can likely expect another content update. Here’s what free Lords of the Fallen content will be coming out way between now and January. Following on from the Halloween event, Lords of the Fallen will be adding a variety of quality-of-life tweaks and bug fixes. These will aim to make the bosses harder, balance out the PvE difficulty spikes, and make life easier for those engaging in co-op and PvP battles. It will also add a new mysterious questline event which may tie in to the current campaign. Whether this is designed to be played during or after the main storyline is yet to be revealed, but we suspect it will be the sort of quest that can be tackled at any point during the game. New questlines will also be added around the Umbral, Rhogar, and Radiant armor sets, likely unlocking each upon completion. On top of this, the following will be added: Two new packs of spells – Two inventory expansions – New Grievous Strike moves – More secret boss weapon abilities – Gamepad rebinding in options – New Game Plus and gameplay modifiers (unknown what these are currently) – Season of Revelry Lords of the Fallen is also holding a special 2023 Holiday event known as the Season of Revelry which will add new quests and other content: While the update will add new items and festive elements, such as throwing snowballs at invaders, it will also add the Trial of the Three Spirits which will provide new questlines to unlock the Umbral, Radiant, and Rhogar armor sets. While the holiday-themed content will be removed after the festive season, all other content will remain in the game. The content will also be free to all owers of the game. We’ll keep you updated as the devs reveal more about the Lords of the Fallen content plan as information becomes available.

Lord of the Rings Tales of the Shire: Release window, trailers, everything we know – Dexerto
Lord of the Rings Tales of the Shire: Release window, trailers, everything we know Weta Workshop/Private DivisionTales of the Shire brings the beloved world from The Lord of the Rings into an adorable, cozy game. So, here’s all we know about Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game. Whether it’s stellar films, the additive books, or the questionable Gollum video game, it’s clear The Lord of the Rings has fully cemented itself into the hearts of many. Now, it’ll soon be bringing that love into the cozy game genre in the form of Tales of the Shire. So, if you’re ready to step back into Middle-earth and explore life as a Hobbit, here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game. Trailers Private Division released the first official announcement trailer on April 22, 2024. It gives a real sense of what to expect, with Tales of the Shire explaining that this is not a story of grand adventure but one of “new beginnings.” Set in the never-before-seen village of Bywater, this tucked-away corner of the Shire is yours to shape. The trailer shows players exploring the outskirts of town and the wider Shire itself. There are also potentially familiar faces for eagle-eyed fans. On June 18, 2024, the Nintendo Direct introduced a short snippet of Tales of the Shire gameplay. The footage included exciting features such as gardening, cooking, and fishing. You can even customize your character and host dinner parties with your villagers. Prior to these trailers, most of the information for Tales of the Shire came from a charming little teaser dropped on September 22, 2023. For everyone who’s not a complete nerd, that’s Bilbo and Frodo’s birthday, which is internationally recognized as Hobbit Day. Lord of the Rings Tales of the Shire release window Tales of the Shire will be released on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series consoles, and PC in early 2025. While it was previously planned for a holiday 2024 release, the devs announced a delay on September 12, 2024 to ensure the experience is “everything you’re hoping for.” We’ll update this article after we receive a specific release date for the game. Hobbit Day Showcase While Tales of the Shire won’t be out in 2024, those looking forward to it will be able to learn more about the game during a Hobbit Day showcase. This will stream live on YouTube, Twitch, Twitter/X, and Tik Tok on September 22 at 10:30 PT/1:30 ET/6:30 BT. Genre While not directly stated in the trailer, a Tales of the Shire press release defines it as a “cozy The Lord of the Rings game.” Cozy games comprise multiple genres, but there’s a definite throughline. Most cozy games tend to have lifestyle simulation elements, commonly including resource management and building. Stardew Valley and Disney Dreamlight Valley are the go-to points of reference for cozy games like this one, so expect Tales of the Shire to evoke these titles in some fashion. The trailers have shown all the usual activities, such as foraging for food, gardening, fishing, and cooking a hearty second breakfast. Like any cozy game worth its salt, Tales of the Shire also lets you decorate your very own Hobbit hole Developers Tales of the Shire is being developed by Weta Workshop and published by Private Division. Weta Workshop is a New Zealand-based prop and special effects company that has never developed a video game before. They have a rather impressive resume in film, working on all three The Lord of the Rings movies. The company was responsible for costumes, but more importantly, they crafted miniaturized versions of locations like Helm’s Deep and Minas Tirith that helped the films meet today’s special effects standards. Private Division is a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive and has helped bring players Hades and Outer Worlds. That’s everything we know about Tales of the Shire so far.

Lord of the Rings: Gollum apology was reportedly written by ChatGPT – Dexerto
Lord of the Rings: Gollum apology was reportedly written by ChatGPT NACONFormer Daedalic staff members have alleged that the company’s apology for Lord of the Rings: Gollum was written by ChatGPT. Merely a day after it launched, Daedalic Entertainment issued an apology on Twitter surrounding the game’s severe technical problems. Daedalic stressed that they were “committed” to releasing patches so players could “enjoy the game to its fullest potential.” The studio previously delayed Lord of the Rings: Gollum a few months for “polishing” purposes. However, it clearly did not improve much due to it being one of the worst-reviewed titles of 2023. Now, former Daedalic staff members have come forward for the first time, claiming A.I. software actually generated the apology and claimed that the team making the game was set up to fail. Lord of the Rings: Gollum apology was allegedly generated by A.I. program In an interview with the German gaming outlet GameTwo, previous employees of Daedalic Entertainment spoke about everything that went wrong with Lord of the Rings: Gollum. They claimed Daedalic was unaware of the apology before it went out and publisher Nacon was in charge of its release. In addition, the devs revealed that the game’s budget was only around 15 million Euros, far below what many AAA games cost to make. “There were people working on the game that have been developers for 10, 15, 20 years, and they’re good, but they can’t do magic because they weren’t given the funds,” said former Daedalic senior developer Paul Schulze. “You can’t just throw more money at something like that, hang on for another year, and then everything will be fine. That’s unrealistic because the game underneath it doesn’t support it.” Since Lord of the Rings: Gollum launched, Daedalic Entertainment has stopped developing games.

There are six Ink colors in total: Amber (yellow), amethyst (purple), emerald (green), ruby (red), sapphire (blue), and steel (grey). When building a deck in Disney Lorcana, the rules state that players can only include up to two of the six Ink colors except in special circumstances like draft events. This means if you begin building a deck for constructed play and you start with an amethyst character card you like the look of, then add an Item card from steel, you can’t add an emerald card. Or any other Ink color for that matter. For this reason, it’s important to have an understanding of every Ink color in Disney Lorcana so you can decide what type of deck you want to play. Below is a list of all six Disney Lorcana Ink colors as well as their strengths, weaknesses, and combo potentials. Amber Like every Ink color in the game, Amber has a few different utilities. The Disney Lorcana website calls glimmers of the Amber color “purposeful, patient and dedicated”. Many characters of this Ink color offer the ability to heal damage from your other characters and will offer benefits like card draw when you do. Amber also has a number of cards with the support ability meaning that when they quest, you can add their strength to another character. Interestingly, amber is one of the favorite colors for an aggressive playstyle thanks to a number of low-cost characters with high questing potential. It’s also the only Ink color that allows players to play cards from their discard pile which can be an interesting theme to focus on. Another ability that is unique to Amber so far is characters with the Singer ability. These characters can sing songs that are higher than their Ink cost meaning you get access to powerful gameplay options earlier than your opponents. For this reason, amber pairs very well with the steel Ink color because steel has a number of damage-dealing songs that can easily get rid of your opponent’s board. If you’re looking for a more aggressive style of play, you could also use amber in combination with amethyst to flood your board with cheap characters and quest faster than your opponent. Amethyst Speaking of amethyst, the team at Ravensburger describes this as an “otherworldly Ink of sorcerers, sages, and animated objects”. Amethyst features a number of magical Disney characters with powerful on-play abilities. Amethyst has access to a lot of options for card draw meaning you’ll usually have a lot more options than your opponents. You also get a number of characters with rush for instant attacking and evaisive cards that can’t be challenged directly by many other colors. Like amber, amethyst has a range of good cards that are relatively cheap and usually have added bonuses for being played and even defeated. One of the staples for this Disney Lorcana Ink color is the Merlin/Mim bounce package. Cards like Merlin – Goat will award you one Lore when it enters and leaves play and Madam Mim – Snake forces you to send a character back to your hand to keep her on the field. By playing a Merlin card and sending it back to your hand with a Mim, you can get twice or even four times the value from their abilities. Amethyst works well in combination with Steel because many amethyst characters have low willpower making them easy to get rid of. Steel’s sturdy characters and damage-dealing action cards complement amethyst by keeping your board full and softening targets. You could also pair amethyst with ruby which has a number of powerful characters and songs that banish opponents directly. Amethyst’s excellent card draw means you’ll have a better chance of finding those cards in your deck. Emerald Emerald is an Ink color in Disney Lorcana that is “gifted with the ability to adapt to changing circumstances”, according to Ravensburger. What this means in practice is that Emerald decks are full of tricks that can frustrate opponents. Emerald has access to a number of evasive characters that are hard to challenge. Those that aren’t will make you think twice about hitting them by applying a penalty such as Banishing the Challenging Character or forcing their player to discard a card. In fact, making your opponent discard cards is an ability unique to the emerald Ink color and a core part of its identity. Not only do a number of characters, songs, and actions cause your opponent to Discard cards, but some even have abilities that give you a bonus for opponents having fewer cards in their hand than you. Emerald, like many of the other Ink colors we have discussed so far, is particularly adept when paired with Steel. Both Colors have a number of very good Floodborn Characters that, when paired with Bucky – Squirrel Squeek Tutor, force your opponent to discard plenty of cards. Ruby is another good option for emerald players. While your emerald cards want to be challenged by your opponent to activate their abilities, ruby specializes in rewarding you for taking the fight to your opponent for a good balance. Ruby Disney Lorcana’s ruby Ink color features characters who are quick and strong making them perfect for challenging. This Ink color has a number of cards with the rush ability meaning they can instantly attack the turn they are played. It also has a suite of characters and actions that reward you for challenging with extra Lore or card draw. Coupled with plenty of evaisive cards that allow you to hit opponents trying to avoid you. Unique to ruby is the ability to reduce your opponent’s Lore and set them back. It also has options for hard removal that can instantly banish characters, including Disney Lorcana’s only board wipe thanks to Be Prepared. Ruby can be used in combination with Amethyst to supplement your challengers with some handy tricks. Amethyst has a number of cards that will exert opposing characters leaving them vulnerable to attack. Another solid pairing for this Ink color is sapphire thanks to its ability to outpace your opponent’s Inkwell. This lets you play powerful Characters and Actions faster and can be hard to keep up with. Sapphire Sapphire glimmers are “intellectual, intelligent, and creative” according to the brochure. This Ink color excels at the use of Items and often has cards that interact with items by banishing them for new benefits. Hiram Flaversham – Toymaker for example can banish an Item to draw two cards. Tamatoa – So Shiny is a powerful game closer that gets an additional Lore for every Item you have in play. Sapphire also has a lot of access to Disney Lorcana’s Ward mechanic meaning they can’t be chosen as a target for action cards which increases your characters’ survivability. The most unique part of sapphire’s identity however is ramp options that allow you to put extra cards in your Inkwell to outpace your opponents’ resource generation. Sapphire excels when partnered up with ruby in a control-style deck that lets you push into the late game to play powerful removal options. It also adds some much-needed speed. Steel is another viable option thanks to that Ink color’s useful Items. Steel also has a number of high-cost Characters with great stats and sapphire’s ramp allows you to play them early enough to overwhelm opponents. Steel Steadfast and strong, Steel features some of Disney Lorcana’s sturdiest Characters. This Ink color has a surprisingly balanced range of offensive and defensive capabilities that make it easy to build around. Steel has a number of solid direct damage options thanks to Character abilities and Action cards like And Then Along Came Zeus. It also has some powerful Floodborn Characters that you can Shift in early with the right combos. Defensively, this Disney Lorcana Ink color has a few Bodyguard options that when Exerted, force your opponent to deal with them first keeping your other characters safe. Steel also has access to the Resist mechanic which reduces incoming damage making it difficult to remove your characters without expending multiple cards. Steel goes well with pretty much any Ink color in Disney Lorcana but we do have some recommendations. As previously mentioned, amber’s singer characters allow you to play powerful dteel songs ahead of time. Both steel and sapphire have access to a suite of cards with synergistic benefits to hero characters which is a relatively new strategy. There’s also the tried and true ramp into powerful characters option. Finally, pairing up with emerald is an insanely good combination thanks to each Ink color’s specialty. Steel keeps your opponent’s board clear while emerald’s discard keeps their hand clear. This constrains their options to a frustrating degree and forces them to rely on luck. Hopefully, this overview of Disney Lorcana’s Ink colors has helped you decide which of the six options seems suited to you. Of course, there are a number of potential playstyles and we’ve had trouble sticking to just one. Now that you know enough about each Ink Color’s identity, why not take a look at our ranking of the Disney Lorcana Starter Decks to check which ones perform best with your favorite Ink?

Lorcana proves Goofy is Disney’s strongest character – Dexerto
Lorcana proves Goofy is Disney’s strongest character Disney/RavensburgerGoofy – Knight for a Day is the strongest new card in Disney Lorcana, setting a real record for the TCG’s early days. Disney Lorcana is gearing up for the release of its second main set, Rise of the Floodborn. In revealing cards from the upcoming set, Lorcana is debuting its strongest card to date. While Lorcana players and Disney fans alike may expect a mascot like Mickey or a powerful combatant like Hercules to take the title, the card in question may come as a surprise. Goofy – Knight for a Day is the most powerful card Lorcana has put out so far, at least in terms of stats. Why is Goofy – Knight for a Day so powerful? The lovable, big-hearted goofy is not necessarily known for being a great fighter, at least outside of combat-focused roles in games like Kingdom Hearts. But thanks to its status as a Dreamborn card, Goofy – Knight for a Day can eschew the character’s typical Disney role and live up to a different, gallant potential. Goofy – Knight for a Day strengths and drawbacks Boasting tens in both Strength and Willpower, Goofy – Knight for a Day has broken the limit imposed on Lorcana’s stats so far, reaching into the double-digits. And with four Lore points, Goofy can make significant contributions to your win-con all by himself. The balance to Goofy – Knight for a Day displaying such absurd stats is that the card is light on abilities. This is a real heavy-hitter, but a straightforward one. Challenging is the name of the game here, and that’s where Goofy excels. TCGs come and go, but the need for powerful beater creatures is forever. Goofy fills this niche and sets an impressive record for Lorcana cards so far. Being based on the 1946 animated short of the same name, Goofy – Knight for a Day both expands Lorcana’s mechanical design and enriches Rise of the Floodborn by invoking Disney history. Stronger cards may well be released in the future, as Lorcana demonstrates its ability to stick around in the TCG space. But for right now, Goofy may just be a Knight temporarily, but he reigns supreme as Lorcana’s strongest card. If you click on a product link on this page we may earn a small affiliate commission.

Longest delayed games ever: Cyberpunk, DOOM, Aliens: Colonial Marines – Dexerto
Longest delayed games ever: Cyberpunk, DOOM, Aliens: Colonial Marines Gearbox Software, CD Projekt Red, Bethesda SoftworksThe newest delay for Cyberpunk 2077 has been met with howls of derision and disappointment. The furore caused by the game’s latest setback has brought back painful memories of big titles that suffered similar fates. We’re going to reveal some of the biggest titles that also suffered various delays and postponements. [jwplayer 91I9RIGm] A game being delayed is nothing as this practice has been around for some time. It’s understandable too as the developmental cycle of something can drastically change in a heartbeat. Uncontrollable, extraneous variables can lead to a change in voice actors, reductions in quality, or even thematic changes. In the wake of Cyberpunk 2077’s latest delay, we thought we’d revisit some classic games that have suffered from them too. Delays are usually to the benefit of the game and have led to the creation of some truly great titles. That is not always the case though, and we’ll discuss that with certain items on this list. So here are some of the most delayed titles ever and the hell they went through to be released. Cyberpunk 2077 The first example is also sadly the most relevant. Now don’t get us wrong, Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most hotly-anticipated games of the eighth-generation of gaming. The gameplay, the story, the setting, it just seems to possess all the traits required to be a timeless classic. Whilst it was in 2012 that the game was originally announced, CD Projekt Red didn’t start work on it until they had finished the final piece of DLC for The Witcher 3 in 2016. Since then, a huge amount of gameplay footage, teasers, and screenshots have been shown-off. April 16, 2020, was the first release date it received. The title was then delayed till September 17, then a third delay moved it back to November 19. But the game went gold and devs declared the game ready to go… Until the fourth occurred. It is now scheduled for December 10, and the world probably isn’t holding its breath. L.A Noire Whilst there’s plenty of love for L.A Noire, it sometimes gets lost in the conversation when GTA and Red Dead are around. But it very nearly wasn’t around at all. Now, it was made by Team Bondi, not Rockstar, but Rockstar had a huge hand in getting the game made. Originally announced in 2004, the game demanded a considerable amount of investment due to its groundbreaking facial technology. An open-world, film-esque voice acting, and acting led to many years of delays until its eventual release in 2011. Whilst the title was bolstered by its great sales and reviews, it sadly became public knowledge that Team Bondi had completely overworked their staff. This led to separation from Rockstar, and Team Bondi folded. Doom (2016) The first two DOOM titles are synonymous with the FPS genre and really helped to popularize it. However, DOOM 3 took the series in a survival-horror direction in 2004 and the game lost a hint of its identity. This was even more apparent when DOOM 4 began production in 2007. Developer/Director of the games – John Carmack – had hinted that the title would return to its roots in an interview. He said: “It’s not that you’re running around frightened down to your last bullet, there will occasionally be that, but it should be much more of you winning because that was always the point in Doom – you are the hero, and you are winning. ” However, the game’s process became geared towards following modern trends such as Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and an over-reliance on set-pieces. It became stuck in development hell and was rebooted. The final game was eventually released nine years later in 2016 to great fanfare and adulation. Resident Evil 4 After starting out as a true horror game with Resident Evil 1, the tonal shift over the next two games was evident. As was the ever-increasing zombie death toll in each game. 4 was always regarded as the game that kickstarted the shift towards killing over puzzling. But the seeds had already been planted with its second and third iterations. After announcing the game in 1999, the initial development was deemed to be too extreme, and Producer – Shinji Mikami – convinced some of Capcom to make a new game, that became the Devil May Cry franchise. Whereas Resident Evil went through multiple phases of development before settling on the third-person Survival-Horror epic that was 4, in 2005. The Last Guardian It seemed likely that Trico would never see the light of day. The legendary Team ICO was the brains behind ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. Two games that really defied the norm and became cult classics. The team then set about formulating their next inventive creation. They began working on The Last Guardian in 2007 with high hopes that it would be a major title for the PS3. The game was finally shown off at E3 2009 and the hype train had whisked off on its journey. Team ICO’s vision was proving to be too grandiose though as the title’s vision exceeded the capabilities of the PS3. Even with outsourcing to other high-profile developers, they failed to improve its performance. After years of limbo and uncertainty, The Last Guardian remerged at E3 2015 and finally saw the light of day in 2016. Ultimately, it was a good game that’s concept was better on paper. The erratic nature of Trico and other problems prevented it from living up to its lofty expectations. StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty The follow-up to Starcraft – considered to possibly the greatest strategy game ever – was a pressured one. Blizzard was under a great deal of stress to make the perfect sequel – starting in 2003. The game’s early work was hampered by the dev’s decision to use lots of its team to work on World of Warcraft. With a depleted workforce, it was hard for any real progress to be made on Starcraft II. Five years later and the game was only a third complete. After working hard to upgrade the title’s online capabilities and network functionality, II released seven years later in 2010 to a great reception. Team Fortress 2 As no news exists on the now fabled Half-Life 3, we turn our attention to another Valve delay story. 1998 was an exciting year for the company. They released their first game with the sensational Half-Life. They also hired Robin Walker and John Cook, makers of Team Fortress, to make a full sequel. The first game was only a mod based on Quake’s engine. The original concept and design were centered on real-combat and serious, military aesthetic. After various engine changes, staff changes, and a complete revamp, Team Fortress 2 resurfaced in 2006 – albeit very differently. Sporting a cartoonish look, the title had retained its core principles and eventually debuted in 2007. Diablo III Another game that had a stern reputation to uphold based on its previous work. Diablo I and II had been big successes for Blizzard. Just like with StarCraft, they wanted to make sure they got III perfect. Beginning the game’s development in 2001, the team had already suffered lots of problems in trying to make II live up to its predecessor. These problems were exacerbated by the third incarnation of Diablo. The game underwent multiple revisions in order to meet Blizzard’s exceptionally high standards. Despite missing its initial beta testing, III was eventually released in mid-2012. Aliens: Colonial Marines The only thing scarier than the Xenomorphs was the game itself. A new Aliens game entered into production in early 2007. With SEGA having acquired the license, they wanted to make a new, scary Aliens title. Gearbox initially started work on it, but shifted its focus towards the Borderlands franchise. This left the game to be outsourced to TimeGate Studios. Many disagreements ensued about the quality and the direction it should be heading in. After SEGA set a strict deadline – with no further extensions – the game was rushed out in early 2013. It inevitably received poor reviews and was considered to be unfinished and sloppy. Duke Nukem Forever The quintessential inclusion on this list, and probably the most famous example. 1997 was the year that Duke Nukem Forever’s existence was confirmed to the public. 2011 was the year people got their hands on this desperately disappointing release. It nearly skipped two generations of consoles, it was churned through lawsuits, and even swapped developers. But it eventually released, and it was clearly a game that had been through 15 years of hell. It was ridden with out-of-date satire, dated controls, and was crude in all the wrong ways. Many fans still purchased it out of loyalty, but only out of loyalty. It bombed critically and commercially, and there’s been no mention of the series having a future.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP: Release date, trailer, platforms & more – Dexerto
Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP: Release date, trailer, platforms & more Dragami GamesLollipop Chainsaw RePOP is a remake of the original game 12 years after its original release. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming title, including the release date, platforms, and more. The zombie hack-and-slash video game, Lollipop Chainsaw, is making its long-awaited return with a remake just around the corner. Lollipop Chainsaw originally launched back in 2012 for the PS3 and Xbox 360, where it made a name for itself due to its comical nature and over-the-top action. However, the game isn’t backward compatible with new platforms, meaning you can’t play the game without owning either of those consoles. However, this will soon change when the Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP finally launches, giving players yet another opportunity to kick some zombie butt. Here’s everything we know about the upcoming title, including the release window and trailer. Release date Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will be released in North America and Europe on September 12, 2024. Originally, the game was due to launch sometime in 2023, but a delay pushed the date back to 2024. In Japan, the game the launch on September 25, 2024. Platforms Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will launch on PC, Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and Nintendo Switch. It looks like last-generation consoles are being left behind here, with no mention of Xbox One or PS4 versions. On PC, Xbox, and PS5 the game will be capable of 4K/60FPS visuals, while the Switch version will only go to 1080p/30FPS. Given the age of the hardware though, lower performance is to be expected until Nintendo reveals its Switch follow-up. Trailer Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP currently only has one trailer, which you can view above. The trailer shows off some gameplay with the new RePOP mode, as well as some exposition on the game’s characters and plot. Features & development According to the game’s official website, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will feature enhanced graphics and performance over the original game. In particular, smoother framerates and increased resolution are to be expected, with 4k visuals appearing on all platforms except for Switch. Dragami Games is also adding a RePOP mode, which uses a more colorful art style for many of the game’s effects. There will also be online leaderboards and shorter load times, thanks to the capabilities of modern storage devices. According to Dragami Games, the “development of the game will be handled by a combination of development staff from the original version, including Yasuda as producer, and new development staff from Dragami Games.” Additionally, several gameplay features have been rebalanced or tweaked. Several weapons have received quality-of-life improvements, such as combo actions being available from the beginning of the game. New cosmetics such as alternate costumes and chainsaw designs will also be added to the game in addition to the ones in the original release. Is the soundtrack returning? Dragami Games is replacing the licensed soundtrack from the original game with an all-new tracklist of new songs. We don’t have details yet on the artists involved but expect all-original songs from new artists. The reason for this may be due to licensing agreements, where certain songs were only licensed in the original game for a set period. As renegotiating the rights to use the same songs may be difficult and costly for RePOP, Dragami has opted to go with new all-original tracks to be heard in-game. So, there you have it, everything we know about the Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP. Be sure to check out our other release hubs to get the latest updates on all the upcoming game releases, such as GTA 6, Silent Hill 2 remake, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

LoL streamer reaches Rank 1 Challenger by one tricking Master Yi – Dexerto
LoL streamer reaches Rank 1 Challenger by one tricking Master Yi Riot GamesLoL streamer and Master Yi demon, Sinerias, has just one tricked his way all the way into Rank 1 Challenger in the EU West leaderboard. Master Yi has had a very complicated relationship with the Jungle meta. Despite being a popular and viable pick in the lower ranks, it is generally recommended to switch to a different Jungler when climbing the ladder. When Champions such as Lee Sin, Wukong and Kayn have better mobility, CC and team synergy, you would find the OG Jungler fall off in pick rate at higher levels of play. Despite it all, the Yi one trick demon and streamer Sinerias did what many had discouraged and made it all the way to Rank 1 Challenger in the EU West leaderboard. All streamed live on his Twitch channel. Reaching an impressive 1759 LP, the Jungle Yi main reached Rank 1 after a lot of grinding. In the winning game, he finished it with a perfect KDA with a 11/0/2, and gained 17 LP from the game. LoL streamer Sinerias one-tricks Master Yi Right after winning the pivotal game, he seemed to be in disbelief of his victory, as he somehow finished the game with a perfect score line, and in just 15 minutes. Sinerias’ stats on Yi is equally as impressive as his achievement. He has an impressive 63 per cent win rate on the Champion, and usually goes positive in KD and gains MVP of the match. In his tweet celebrating the achievement he plainly says, “Rank EUW with f***ing Master Yi.” And he continues the tweet with an Arnold Schwarzenegger quote. And many in the community celebrated the insane achievement, with BDS Support player Labrov even chipping in. Reddit, of course, criticized his main choice of Master Yi as not meta, but as one commenter points out, he couldn’t have gotten to Rank 1 if he wasn’t mechanically skilled and intimately familiar with Yi.

League of Legends patch 12.16 notes: Udyr rework, Zeri nerfs, top lane buffs – Dexerto
League of Legends patch 12.16 notes: Udyr rework, Zeri nerfs, top lane buffs Riot GamesLeague of Legends patch 12.16 is here with Riot preparing for Worlds. The first “Worlds-focused patch” includes small meta shifts to the top and bot lane, including more nerfs for Zeri: here’s the full patch notes. Worlds 2022 is just around the corner, and that means Riot is toying with League of Legends’ meta starting in LoL patch 12.16. With pro play at the forefront of the next few updates, the game’s top picks will slowly start to evolve with more diversity thrown into the mix. It’s a small patch though, with Riot holding out on making major shifts while regions finish their qualification process for Worlds. The “more speculative changes” will be dropping in September’s LoL patch 12.17. However top and bot lane changes will feel the impacts first, with slight tweaks across both roles being the predominant focus of the August 24 update. Here’s what you need to know about LoL patch 12.16, including the full notes. What’s changed in LoL patch 12.16? Udyr rework goes live Udyr, the Spirit Walker, has been in Riot’s rework chamber for more than a year. Now players will finally get a taste of the Freljordian’s new playstyle as of LoL patch 12.16. For mains, everything will feel familiar. His four stances remain relatively unchanged, but they can be awakened every 30 seconds or so to become ultra-powerful and change the tides of a fight. He has also gotten a fresh lick of paint with a visual overhaul too. Read up on all the Udyr changes here. Zeri faces 13th set of changes with fresh nerfs Zeri has been a staple in League of Legends Season 12. For those keeping track, that’s her entire existence. She’s been must pick or ban basically since release, and attempts to balance her have failed — Riot has shipped 12 changes, and LoL patch 12.16 will mark number 13. After adding a critical strike element to her W, it’s being nerfed somewhat with lower AP ratios in the upcoming update. Her basic attacks will also hit for less with a slight AD ratio nerf. It’s small changes, but it’ll keep nudging Zeri down somewhat. Other nerfs are in store for Draven and Yuumi in bot lane, while Poppy is facing some jungle nerfs after the Yordle rose to prominence as a potent pocket pick. Riot shakes up top lane meta with big buffs The top lane is getting a bunch of focus in League of Legends’ upcoming preseason, but for now Riot is trying to make the role more appealing with some buffs across the board. Malphite, Irelia, and Jayce have been earmarked for small changes — just enough to shake-up the meta. This involves increases to resistances for the most part, making them more durable post the durability update.

Ultimate Ezreal guide: Best league of legends, builds, runes, tips and tricks – Dexerto
Ultimate Ezreal guide: Best league of legends, builds, runes, tips and tricks Riot GamesEzreal is one of the most unique AD carries in League of Legends, with his bursty mage-like playstyle, he’s a champion that heavily rewards smart and skilled players. That being said, here’s everything you need to know about Ezreal, the Prodigal Explorer. Being one of League of Legends’ earlier champions, Ezreal has been through many versions, as well as seen and survived the countless metas the game has gone through. One thing about Ezreal that has maintained consistently is his popularity as a champion, players love Ezreal for his skill-expressive kit which allows good players to carry. Contents Who is Ezreal? – Ezreal Abilities and Gameplay – Best Builds for Ezreal – Best Runes for Ezreal – Ezreal Skins in League of Legends – General Ezreal Tips and Tricks – Who is Ezreal? Born in Piltover, Ezreal was the son of two renowned archaeologists. During his time as a child, he always had a knack for exploring, and wanted to go on adventures for himself. When his parents both mysteriously disappeared one day and didn’t return from adventuring, Ezreal took it upon himself to find them. Whilst doing so, he stumbled across a gleaming bronze gauntlet, which when he put it on aligned with him. From then on out Ezreal would go on adventures, with his magical gauntlet in hand. On Summoner’s Rift, Ezreal is a slippery burst/ poke attack damage carry, with his magic gauntlet in hand, he blasts everything and anything he needs in his path of adventure. Ezreal Abilities and Gameplay Ezreal is known for two things in League of Legends. Burst and mobility. With his gauntlet equipped, he’s able to fire off abilities at a long-range, whilst combining them together for devastating damage that can catch enemies off guard. While in lane, Ezreal’s main focus is to farm while poking down his enemies. His laning phase isn’t anything too incredible, and he often relies on a support or jungler to help lock down enemies for takedowns. Ezreal really starts to shine once he’s gotten a sheen item, attack damage, and ability haste. From there he’s able to fire his abilities off in rapid succession, making his damage output pretty formidable. Often in teamfights Ezreal wants to be playing in the backline, firing off skill shots to slowly break down the frontline. That being said, skilled Ezreal players will know their combo and damage well enough to dive in and finish off enemies, scoring vital takedowns for his team. Passive: Rising Spell Force – Ezreal gains increasing Attack Speed each time he successfully hits a spell, stacking up to 5 times. – Q: Mystic Shot – Ezreal fires a damaging bolt of energy which reduces all of his cooldowns slightly if it strikes an enemy unit. – W: Essence Flux – Ezreal fires an orb that sticks to the first champion or objective hit. If Ezreal hits an enemy with the orb, it detonates and deals damage. – E: Arcane Shift – Ezreal teleports to a target nearby location and fires a honing bolt which strikes the nearest enemy unit. Prioritizes enemies stuck with Essence Flux. – R: Trueshot Barrage – Ezreal winds up before firing a powerful barrage of energy that deals massive damage to each unit it passes through (damage is reduced for minions and non-epic monsters). – Best Builds for Ezreal At the moment, Ezreal can go three different builds depending on the style you want to play him. Burst Ezreal You can optimize for a heavier burst build, which works well against squishier targets allowing you to deal ridiculously high damage, this often involves going items like Duskblade of Draktharr and Essence Reaver to frontload your damage. Burst Ezreal Build: Starting Item: Tear or Doran’s Blade – Boots: Ionian Boots of Lucidity – Essence Reaver – Duskblade of Draktharr – Muramana – Serylda’s Grudge – Ravenous Hydra – Essence Reaver, Duskblade, and Muramana are your key items here, they allow for your combo to deal immense damage in a short span of time. Kite Ezreal Going for a Kite Ezreal build revolves around using his Q to slowly kite back his enemies, this is a pretty consistent damage build and involves needing to consistently land Qs to lower your cooldowns. Your burst is much lower in this build, but you can keep the damage continuously pumping. Kite Ezreal Build: Starting Item: Doran’s Sword – Essence Reaver – Kraken Slayer – Navori Quickblades – Serylda’s Grudge – Ravenous Hydra or Frozen Heart – This build spikes when you have 3 items, instead of building a Muramana for mana sustain you’ll be relying on Essence Reaver’s mana generation for spamming out skills. Once at 60% critical strike, you’ll be able to use Navori Quickblades, which like Ezreal’s Q will lower the cooldown of other abilities. This synergy is what this entire build is based upon, and you’ll notice a substantial difference when the items work together. Poke Ezreal Poke Ezreal is a bit of both worlds, it grants a decent chunk of burst whilst still allowing you to deal decent damage while you kite back. This build is probably considered the most traditional of builds and has been Ezreal’s most utilized build in the past. Poke Ezreal Build: Starting Item: Tear of the Goddess or Doran’s Sword – Trinity Force or Divine Sunderer – Muramana – Serylda’s Grudge – Ravenous Hydra – Maw of Malmortius or Frozen Heart – Poke Ezreal relies on the sheen procs of either Trinity Force or Divine Sunderer to chip away at enemies. Generally speaking, this will come from your Q hitting enemies, but may also come from an auto attack if you’re diving in for a bigger combo. This is the most flexible of Ezreal builds, and definitely makes Ezreal feel the most mage-like. Best Runes for Ezreal Like before, Ezreal’s runes can go in 3 different ways. These rune builds should work in conjunction with your item builds for maximum effectiveness. Burst Ezreal Runes Burst Ezreal requires a more specific rune set than the other ones, as First Strike as a keystone is necessary to grant Ezreal that extra bit of damage as well as farm him so gold too. The burst Ezreal rune set looks as such: Press the Attack Runes Both Kite and Poke Ezreal can run Press The Attack well, and therefore is a matter of personal preference and situation. Press the Attack Runes for Ezreal to allow his laning phase to be a bit stronger, whilst also giving him some nice additional damage after he’s able to auto-attack/ Q the same enemy 3 times. Press the Attack is generally better for short trades, but can faller off later in the game. The Press the Attack runes set looks as such: Conqueror Runes Like before, Kite and Poke Ezreal can run Conqueror as an alternative to Press the Attack. Conqueror gives Ezreal more attack damage, and also healing through a fight. Needing to stack up to 12 times before fully activating, Conqueror is for longer extended trades, and is therefore a bit harder to pull off in lane. Conqueror however is great in long team fights, where Ezreal is able to proc it earlier on into the fight and keep the buff going. The Conqueror runes set looks as such: Ezreal Skins in League of Legends Nottingham Ezreal (Legacy) – 520 RP – Striker Ezreal (Legacy) – 520 RP – Frosted Ezreal – 520 RP – Explorer Ezreal (Legacy) – 750 RP – Pulsefire Ezreal – 3250 RP – TPA Ezreal (Legacy) – 750 RP – Debonair Ezreal – 750 RP – Ace of Spades Ezreal – 750 RP – Arcade Ezreal – 1350 RP – Star Guardian Ezreal – 1350 RP – SSG Ezreal (Legacy) – 1350 RP – Pajama Guardian Ezreal – 1350 RP – Battle Academia Ezreal – 1820 RP – PsyOps Ezreal – 1350 RP – Prestige PsyOps Ezreal – Mythic Essence Exclusive – Porcelain Protector Ezreal – 1820 RP – General Ezreal Tips and Tricks Essence Flux Usage Whilst playing Ezreal, ensure you utilize your W: Essence Flux well. As Essence Flux sticks to a champion and doesn’t deal damage, it means you can proc it with another ability for a big burst. This is particularly important in Burst Ezreal. Tear of the Goddess Stacking If you currently have a Tear of the Goddess, ensure that you continuously stack it throughout the match. Landing skills like Q: Mystic Shot and W: Essence Flux on champions will grant the most charges. Ensure you’re consistently doing so throughout the match, as having a fully stacked Muramana is a massive spike for Ezreal. Mystic Shot Usage Use your Q well and often, Ezreal’s Q is incredibly strong due to it reducing the cooldown of other abilities. Landing Mystic Shots is important, as a lot of your damage output depends on it. You can almost think of it as if it is Ezreal’s auto attack in some ways.

Locations for next Mass Effect game teased during N7 Day celebrations – Dexerto
Locations for next Mass Effect game teased during N7 Day celebrations November 7 marks an annual celebration for fans of Bioware’s enthralling space opera Mass Effect and throughout the festivities this year, former Game Director Casey Hudson hinted at the future of the franchise. Considered dormant after the heavily criticized release of Mass Effect: Andromeda in 2017, fans of the RPG series were left to ponder whether a new title would ever be released again. Following an exceptionally shaky launch to Bioware’s new IP in Anthem, there was no telling what would soon be on the horizon for one of the most prestigious developers throughout the previous console generation. A new post from Casey Hudson on N7 Day however, has teased that the Mass Effect community has plenty to look forward to. On a day full of nostalgia for the remarkable journey of the ambitious Mass Effect trilogy, Hudson shared a look at some unique concept art that had been previously been kept under wraps. Read more: How much will the PS5 cost? – From swampy wildlands to sprawling city landscapes, the art feels new and simultaneously familiar to the tone of the series. Showcased in one of the works of art, we can see the latest iteration of the Mako vehicle flanked by a Krogan and two other unidentifiable figures, one of which appears to be holding a Lancer Assault Rifle. Another piece showcased the Normandy emerging from a base at sea. While certainly a placeholder for the purpose of the concept art alone, seeing the ship in action once again is enough to pull on the heart-strings of any Mass Effect fan. Accompanying the Tweet with a heartfelt message to the Mass Effect fanbase, Hudson expressed excitement for the future of the series, stating that “we have so many ideas for things we want to do in Mass Effect.” “So much concept art that hasn’t yet been brought to life, and so many stories yet to tell,” he concluded, hinting that our times adventuring through the galaxy are far from over. We have so many ideas for things we want to do in #MassEffect, so much concept art that hasn’t yet been brought to life, and so many stories yet to tell. #N7Day pic.twitter.com/gDXbYComCC — Casey Hudson (@CaseyDHudson) November 7, 2019 Bioware is even extending N7 Day celebrations through to the world of Anthem, introducing an assortment of new Mass Effect-themed cosmetics. From Krogan-based Javelin designs to Quarian armor, there’s plenty to unlock in the title to share your enthusiasm for the festivities. Happy #N7Day, Freelancers! Though this isn’t a typical celebration for the people of Bastion, we wanted to show our love for the day with four Mass Effect-themed armours and more. pic.twitter.com/wjCwppBctD — Anthem (@anthemgame) November 7, 2019 While there’s no telling quite when we’ll see the future of Mass Effect in action, there’s no denying that it’s an exciting time for fans of the series. As we near the release of the upcoming console generation, one can only imagine how extraordinary a new Citadel would look.

LIRIK slams Blizzard for spending “millions” on celebrity marketing amid Overwatch 2 woes – Dexerto
LIRIK slams Blizzard for spending “millions” on celebrity marketing amid Overwatch 2 woes LIRK / Blizzard EntertainmentTwitch star LIRIK took to his live stream to express his dissatisfaction with Activision Blizzard’s suspected decisions of spending money on marketing the games with the use of celebrities instead of investing the money to improve their games. With Microsoft’s ongoing acquisition of gaming titan Activision Blizzard, the game studios that have been behind iconic games such as Call of Duty, Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4, have made many controversial changes in 2023. Major parts of the company’s strategy have revolved around using notable celebrities to give a new lease of life to their games and bring in new fans. Call of Duty announced in July that players would be able to play as music stars Nicki Minaj, Snoop Dogg and 21 Savage which was hit with a wave of controversy. Blizzard later revealed in August through a YouTube video on their own Overwatch channel that John Cena was voicing a mysterious figure named Enigma who featured in a series of promotional videos. The video was used to build up hype for the game’s Overwatch 2 Invasion storyline. These marketing techniques have in itself brought along growing controversies from fans and content creators online which has split the communities. Some fans have been excited by their favorite celebrities being involved with the games, with others wishing they would instead focus more on the games directly, which is the view of LIRIK. LIRIK slams Blizzard for millions spent on marketing instead of the games themselves LIRK addressed his issues with Blizzard directly while broadcasting live on Twitch. The streamer angrily stated “Why do you guys keep giving millions of dollars to market your f***ing games”, he says. He goes on to directly give examples that a K-Pop BTS member and popular music artist Halsey, collaborated with Diablo 4 by releasing a song for the game. LIRIK also goes on to highlight his dissatisfaction with Overwatch 2, referencing John Cena. His main frustration was with the way funds have been allocated. LIRIK claims that the millions of dollars he suspects that was paid to these celebrities to promote their games could have instead been used to improve the issues. He later states that because of this “there is nothing to do in your f***ing games”. The Twitch star expresses his frustrations that the alleged money could instead be used to build internal teams to directly improve the games. This is not the first time he has expressed frustrations with Blizzard, as LIRIK has previously called for the legendary game series Starcraft to make a return, which provoked a response from Blizzard’s President.

Linus Tech Tips shares long-awaited verdict on Valve’s Steam Deck: “There’s no competition” – Dexerto
Linus Tech Tips shares long-awaited verdict on Valve’s Steam Deck: “There’s no competition” LinusTechTips/YouTubeLinus Tech Tips has finally started to review Valve’s highly-anticipated Steam Deck, and doesn’t think there’s any competition for the handheld in its price range. The Steam Deck is one of the most anticipated pieces of hardware in recent memory, and according to Linus, it does indeed live up to the hype. On February 7 the first of his long-awaited reviews for Valve’s handheld gaming PC came out. While there are still some questions to be answered, according to Linus there’s really no beating the Steam Deck for the price. “It’s half the f**king price” In this first review Linus focuses mainly on hardware, and how the select games included for the review performed. For gaming, the input of the joysticks, D-pad, and buttons was right up there with the best console controllers, according to the YouTuber. “The joysticks in particular are miles ahead of every other handheld [PC] I have touched,” Linus gushed. “And, Valve’s repair-friendly approach to the joysticks promises a long gaming life for your Deck.” Games that Linus was allowed to review also performed well, save for some issues with Forza Horizon 5. However, there are still some outstanding questions on the software that the YouTuber said need to be answered. “The software is still make or break for this puppy, and Valve has some big questions to answer,” Linus explained. “The game engine rubber banding like we saw in Forza Horizon 5, game compatibility, and things like auto-resuming gameplay.” “Let’s say your Steam Deck wasn’t online the last time you were playing, are you going to overwrite a bunch of progress when you switch to your desktop?” he continued. “We’re going to have a lot to talk about when we get to look at the software.” Despite those small issues though, Linus seems very impressed with the Steam Deck, and thinks it could be the next big thing when it comes to handheld gaming.

Lirik rages at Nintendo Switch Online service: ‘It’s 2021 and you still suck’ – Dexerto
Lirik rages at Nintendo Switch Online service: ‘It’s 2021 and you still suck’ Twitch: Lirik / NintendoPopular Twitch streamer Lirik shared his dissatisfaction with Nintendo Switch Online after having issues while playing Mario Party Superstars. The latest release of Nintendo’s popular Mario Party series came out on October 29, and streamers all over Twitch gathered up their friends to enjoy the game live on stream. However, for some, it wasn’t all sunshine and roses. Ever since the Nintendo Switch Online expansion pack was announced in the middle of October, social media’s been ablaze with fans complaining about the quality of the platform’s online service. During his October 29 Twitch stream, Lirik decided to show off his Mario Party skills but instead wound up raging at the quality of the online service. Lirik rages at Nintendo Switch Online Lirik experienced quite a bit of lag while starting a Mario Party mini-game, exclaiming: “Bro, nice f**king jitters Nintendo, honestly. Like, It’s 2021 and you f**kers still suck at online.” The creator went on to play the game while yelling at the screen as the poor connection continued. After the issues caused him to lose the event, he replied to a viewer who asked about his connection quality: “Bro, I have an ethernet adapter. It’s not me you f**king idiot. I stream, obviously it’s not my connection.” Lirik went on to play a few more hours of Mario Party, experiencing more issues with the online connection before it finally smoothed out and allowed him to win a few games. Since the release of the more expensive Nintendo Switch Online expansion pack, fans are hoping that the company puts more effort into improving their online service as players are also reporting connection issues when playing Nintendo 64 games with friends.

Linus Tech Tips explains why game streaming isn’t the future – Dexerto
Linus Tech Tips explains why game streaming isn’t the future Linus Tech Tips/GooglePopular tech YouTuber Linus Tech Tips sat down with four different game streaming services to test them out, and discovered why the concept probably won’t be replacing your console or PC anytime soon. Game streaming services offer players a way to play a game without having to download or install the software, as long as you have a powerful enough internet connection, that is. Linus and tech writer James Strieb tried out the NVIDIA GeForce Now, Google Stadia, Project xCloud for Xbox, and PS Now for PlayStation, but in the end determined it all came down to which games you want to play. Both the Stadia and GeForce came with a small amount of input lag, but Linus admitted if he were just an average gamer, he probably wouldn’t be able to notice it. When it comes to graphics, NVIDIA definitely had Google beat, with the Stadia’s rendering of Destiny 2 not impressing the YouTuber or his partner at all. The fact that Stadia will eventually have its own exclusive games didn’t seem to win over Linus either. “Am I going to care about them?” Linus asked, after Strieb told him about the Stadia’s supposed upcoming exclusives. “Give them time,” Strieb replied with a laugh. “Hey if Google doesn’t cut this program like they do all their other ones, maybe it’ll end up being good some day.” Next up was Project xCloud, which was the only service to rely completely on WiFi since you use it on your phone. xCloud offers a number of Xbox titles to stream on your phone, including HALO. Other than a few stutters and discovering that HALO wasn’t meant to be played on a tiny smartphone screen, Linus didn’t seem to have any majors issues with it. If you have anything less than amazing WiFi however, things might be a different story. PlayStation now is the oldest of the game streaming programs that were reviewed, and it’s only available on PC (or PlayStation 4, obviously). It doesn’t offer the highest quality graphics, but it’s library of over 800 games from PlayStation 2, 3 and 4 make it worth the subscription price, according to Linus. While each of the services offers their own pros and cons, Linus made it clear straight away that they’re still no match at all for your console or PC. If you don’t have a physical console you can access then streaming services might be able to do the job, but as we mentioned before, which one you choose all comes down to which games you want to play.

Like a Dragon: Ishin review – RGG Studio stuns with remake of Samurai epic – Dexerto
Like a Dragon: Ishin review – RGG Studio stuns with remake of Samurai epic RGG Studio’s latest, Like a Dragon: Ishin, is actually a remake of an older title, now remastered and released in the west for the first time. But, is it worth the wait? It feels like you can’t so much as sneeze before a new game from RGG Studio releases. However, Like a Dragon: Ishin is a unique proposition as it’s the first time that western fans can experience the series in a brand-new time period – the late 1800s. This isn’t a brand-new game, though. While it was originally released in 2014 for the PS3 and PS4, it hadn’t been localized for the West, until now. Like a Dragon: Ishin: Key Details Price: $59.99 / £59.99 – Developer: RGG Studio – Release date: February 21, 2023 – Platforms: PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X – Like a Dragon: Ishin: Trailer Twilight of the Samurai Like a Dragon: Ishin looks inward toward the changing attitudes of a nation and its ideals in a rapidly changing political landscape. The black ships have arrived, and Japan has opened up trade with foreign bodies due to military pressure. You take control of Sakamoto Ryoma, a real-life historical figure – though RGG Studio has understandably taken creative liberties to bring him to life. It’s not long into your time as Ryoma that you find him framed for the political assassination of his adoptive father, forcing him to flee. Your goal is to clear your name and find the assassin responsible. It’s not hard to feel Yakuza’s influence though as keen-eyed fans will notice that Ryoma looks suspiciously similar to series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu. This is a recurring motif throughout, with the most prominent players being played by characters previously seen in the Yakuza series. It’s a lovely bit of fanservice for those who have been keenly following the series thus far. Ryoma is particularly compelling, and his initial stoicism cracks as you meet the inhabitants of Kyo, and help them with their various trials and tribulations. Like a Dragon: Ishin deals with the crisis of national identity in a changing world. Traditionalists remain loyal to the current system, while renegades attempt to disrupt the status quo through action – though it is an uphill battle. Ryoma and his allies are attempting to enact change in their society, and with so many elements in play, there’s a lot of political jargon to initially take in. You’ll need to quickly familiarize yourself with the caste system of late Edo-era Japan, as well as other associated phrases. Luckily, the game allows you to simply press the options button during dialogue for quick explanations of what complex nomenclature means. This ends up working well, and you’ll soon be able to differentiate what separates a Goshi from a Joshi, and exactly what the Bakufu is. As you progress through the melodramatic political storyline which is laced with twists, you’ll face an adversary or two who need cutting down. Dancing through the streets Like a Dragon: Ishin’s combat is dense. The third-person action has four different styles to choose from: Swordsman, Gunman, Wild Dancer, and Brawler. Each of them possesses their own unique moves and skill sets, allowing you to express the violence you need in any given situation. You’ll face random encounters while exploring the city of Kyo, where you’ll take on groups of nameless goons at once. You build a heat meter through combos, which you can unleash through stylish finishers. These range from shooting folks at point-blank to shoving an orange down someone’s throat at a, frankly, unreasonable speed. After battle, you get ranked and rated, with a healthy dose of experience points for each of the styles that you chose to use, which can unlock enhancements and extra moves. Eventually, you’ll also be able to assign “Trooper cards” to each style. You can steadily earn more through different activities which can give you anything from buffs to godlike superpowers. There is an expansive weapon upgrade and crafting tree to engage with after farming combat missions, too. It might sound overwhelming, but these mechanics are all drip-fed at an understandable pace and make for a deeply engaging experience. Heaps of personality It’s not all about melodrama and combat though as the streets of Kyo have a wealth of worthwhile side content. Like a Dragon: Ishin’s tone can quickly shift from serious to wacky in a matter of seconds. But, it never feels out of place, thanks to the number of people you can interact with. These substories are found organically while walking in the streets or chatting with vendors. Their tales can range from a comedic tale of love, to dismantling underground loan shark rings, or just an aspiring Sumo being really hungry. The world is littered with these quests, and the strength of their writing really shines. It doesn’t feel like they take away from the tale that the main story is trying to tell. There’s never an assault of icons on your map either, and the majority of these quests are found organically. You’ll also be interacting with a multitude of minigames. Once you’ve leveled up your relationship with an Udon store, the owner asks you to help out. This unlocks a brand-new minigame where you’re taking and making orders at the ramen store for a bit of cash. Of course, series tentpoles like Karaoke are also included, with a unique Samurai twist. Due to the relatively smaller scale of the map, I found myself spending a lot more time engaging with the side content than usual. Yakuza and RGG Studio titles can often feel bloated, but I found that the balance was just right. It’s the only game in the series where I’ve interacted with the optional farming and fishing mechanics, happy to take half an hour to tend to my farm and make some money. A dense, rewarding experience Like a Dragon: Ishin is packed to the gills with things to do, people to talk to and fights to be had. This makes for an engaging world that might not be the biggest, but it’s certainly one of the densest. This allows the setting to breathe life into itself. It’s a space Ryoma could feasibly exist in, which is the highest compliment you could give a game with open-world characteristics. The smaller scale of the Like a Dragon: Ishin makes everything more palatable. Its pacing runs at a nice clip, and you’re never left bored by any of the activities you choose to engage with. However, the PC port does suffer from some technical issues, down to its Unreal Engine 4 implementation, which also plagues other titles. Unfortunately, this detracts from the experience, but it’s likely that you are not going to see these issues replicated on a console. The verdict – 4/5 Like a Dragon: Ishin is the best title from RGG Studio since Yakuza 0, and remains true to the studio’s well-worn formula. A new setting, characters, and plot all intertwine to create a cohesive open-world experience that you could lose countless hours in. Whether that be interacting with the locals, farming, or taking down the entire Shogunate itself. Reviewed on PC Looking for more game reviews? We’ve got a load for you to check out below.

Like a Dragon: Ishin takes Yakuza back in time without skipping a beat – Dexerto
Like a Dragon: Ishin takes Yakuza back in time without skipping a beat Sega/RGG StudioLike a Dragon: Ishin swaps a modern-day crime drama for the late Edo period while maintaining all of the Yakuza franchise’s slapstick silliness and character drama. 2020’s Yakuza: Like A Dragon was something of a reset point for the storied franchise. Pivoting away from longtime protagonist Kazuma Kiryu to focus on affable low-level thug Ichiban Kasuga, and switching to a more JRPG-inspired combat style, it certainly left many wondering just what was next. While we’ve got to wait for Like A Dragon 8, the next installment in the mainline franchise, fans will be able to try something a little different in 2023 as Like a Dragon: Ishin takes the characters from Kiryu’s saga and drops them into a new setting. Or should that be an old setting? Familiar faces I went hands-on with Like a Dragon: Ishin at MCM Comic-Con last month, and while it’s not an entirely new adventure, this remake of Ryu Ga Gotoku: Ishin certainly looks the part. My session began in true Yakuza fashion with a lengthy sit-down conversation between Kiryu, known here as Ryoma, and his fellow captains. The facial animations and voice acting have always been great in Yakuza games, and the same definitely holds true here. Kiryu/Ryoma’s trademark stoicism, the deep focus from his eyes, and a wonderfully realized new robe all highlight the attention to detail, and that’s mirrored across all of the characters. Even antihero Majima can be found here (known as Okita), and his languid body language makes it clear that yes, he’s not changed much outside of the name. Man of the People I played the Afternoon Mode portion of the demo, which meant the sun was out, and the game’s central street was there to be explored. The twisty side streets are full of minigames, but my favorite encounter was with the proprietor of a small restaurant, and the conversation between her and Ryoma about when best to observe tradition, and when it can be left in the past, was well-written and a perfect dichotomy with the game’s more violent interactions. Naturally, there are always thugs to fight in a Yakuza game, but Like a Dragon: Ishin’s combat feels somehow even more comical than ever before. That’s largely thanks to new Soldier Cards that act as powerful abilities. I’m not sure if it’s because of the demo parameters, but I never felt I was waiting long for my Soldier Cards to recharge, meaning I was able to drop a Hadouken-Esque fireball with impressive regularity. Beating up each of the small groups of opponents, in turn, was a thrill only beaten by their hilarious apologies after a fight, but Like a Dragon: Ishin allows Ryoma to switch between fists, swords, a gun, and a combination of each. The melee options are fun, but there’s something to be said about a firearm that doesn’t do a great deal of damage but just feels satisfying to use. It also doesn’t hurt that it adds to the comedic value — after shooting, stabbing, punching, and Kamehameha-ing an opponent, having them apologize before moving on with their day is just so distinctly Yakuza. Final Thoughts Having missed the boat with the Yakuza franchise, I’m particularly interested to see if Like a Dragon: Ishin can grab me. From this early outing, though, the odds look good — from the madcap combat, to the well-realized world, and to the gorgeous cutscene, this could be a great starting point. Like A Dragon: Ishin launches on February 21, 2023

Like A Dragon: Ishin! preview – Stylish samurai combat and bizarre mini games – Dexerto
Like A Dragon: Ishin! preview – Stylish samurai combat and bizarre mini games SEGAAlmost a decade after it was released exclusively in Japan, the stylish combat and ridiculous mini-games of Like A Dragon: Ishin! are finally making their way to the rest of the world. While the Yakuza franchise has received plenty of love over the years, the historical spin-off Ryu Ga Gotoku: Ishin! has remained out of reach for many fans. But with an Unreal Engine 4 remake titled Like A Dragon: Ishin! heading to western shores (and on multiple platforms), that’s all about to change. During a preview session at Berlin’s Samurai Museum, we were given access to Chapter 3 of Like A Dragon: Ishin! – as well as a chance to explore the game’s open-city world – and while it was only a small window into the game, I left impressed and wanting more. Set in 1867 during the Bakamatsu era, Like A Dragon: Ishin! follows the swordsman Sakamoto Ryoma as he seeks revenge for his mentor’s murder – for which he’s been framed. With a new alias, Ryoma travels to the capital city of Kyo and infiltrates the Shinsengumi to find the person responsible. Although Ryoma is a real-life samurai legend, RGG Studio has taken some creative liberties with a blend of history and fiction that makes for an enticing setup. The fact that this is a spin-off title separate from the main Yakuza games also means it’s a great entry point for anyone new to the series – while longtime fans will still feel at home with franchise staples and some familiar faces. Let’s start with the star of the show: The combat. With the potential for endless flashy combos and four styles to switch between on the fly during battle – Swordsman, Gunman, Wild Dancer, and Brawler – I spent most of the preview session attempting to master each one because it’s just so satisfying. For players who prefer slow and controlled combat, there’s the standard Swordsman style which rewards perfect timing with significant damage, while the Gunman style is great for targeting a dangerous opponent from a safe distance. Brawler style is essentially bare-fisted combat, which is risky but fun, letting you grab your opponents or even pick up environmental objects to use as projectiles. While I spent most of my time using the Wild Dancer style – a speedy mix of swordplay and guns which is undeniably the most enjoyable – the game works best when you mix and match each style. There are also plenty of weapons to craft or upgrade, and an extensive skill tree that you’ll gradually climb to improve your combat abilities. The game’s hub – the city of Kyo – might feel small by 2023 standards, but it’s consistently impressive how much content has been squeezed into each street. From tea shops to brothels, gang ambushes that test your combat skills, and quirky side missions that require you to help townspeople in need, there’s plenty to keep you occupied outside of the main story. Then there are the mini-games. Oh, the mini-games. Want to sing your heart out in karaoke? Sure thing. Go fishing? Why not! Place a bet on chicken races? You can do that, too. Some of these mini-games definitely work better than others – chicken racing does lose its novelty quite fast, as it’s very much a ‘sit and watch’ experience – but they’re all fun in their own way and they’re entirely optional. While there’s not much to them other than pressing the right button at the right time, I really enjoyed the karaoke sessions and traditional Buyo dancing lessons, where multiple song options, difficulty levels, and a desire to beat my own high score kept me coming back for more. It’s a nice break of pace from the bloody fight scenes and serious plot. Final Thoughts Like A Dragon: Ishin! is a stylish, over-the-top beat ’em up with a healthy side of ridiculous mini-games that should put a smile on anyone’s face. It looks great, thanks to the use of Unreal Engine 4, and I’m excited to see what the rest of the game has in store when it’s finally out and I can experience more than just one chapter. Like A Dragon: Ishin! launches on February 21, 2023, for Windows, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth review – A sensational passing of the torch – Dexerto
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth review – A sensational passing of the torch Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth promised to not only truly cap off Kazuma Kiryu’s story, but also serve as a passing of the torch to Ichiban Kasuga. Living up to its promise and then some, it truly is an exceptional changing of the guard, with all the thrilling, quirky, and outright fun Yakuza-isms to boot. When Yakuza: Like a Dragon released in 2020, it was hard not to initially see it as just another attempt by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio to keep the franchise alive after the supposed end to Kazuma Kiryu’s story in Yakuza 6. Judgement, meant as a spin-off, moreso resembled mainline Yakuza games, however, missed that certain pizzazz Yakuza had so expertly honed over the years, and it felt as if nobody could truly replace Kiryu. However, in came crashing Ichiban Kasuga, providing a drastic change in gameplay in its turn-based combat and a new protagonist that threw away the traditional stone face lead for a man who was more emotional and colorful, all wrapped up in a game that never lost sight of what made Yakuza so special. Like a Dragon and Kasuga brought in something fresh and new to a franchise that was slowly going stale. But the appearance of Kiryu in Like a Dragon, and the subsequent The Man Who Erased His Name felt as if RGG had some buyer’s remorse. Wanting Ichiban to be their new face but they couldn’t truly let go of the Dragon of Dojima, refusing to let him pass despite the somber farewell we had in Yakuza 6 that tied up his story neatly. Now in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, it seems RGG is finally giving Kiryu proper closure, with this game not only serving as his swan song but also as a true changing of the guard with Ichiban. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth – Key Details Price: $69.99/£59.99 – Developer: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio – Release Date: 26 January, 2024 – Platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC – Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth – Trailer Played a Yakuza game? You’ve mostly heard this story If there’s one problem Yakuza has always suffered from, it’s being formulaic. Sometimes, it works to its benefit, as coming into a new Yakuza game has always felt like going back to your family home for the holidays. Everything’s always warm and intimate, with a sprinkling of change, but always at its core the same. However, the problem with such an approach is that if you’ve played through a Yakuza story before, you’ve effectively seen all the game’s stories. Our protagonist is living life peacefully, only to be rocked by a deep conspiracy involving the Yakuza. After being reluctantly pulled back into the dark, they go on an adventure to find a missing person all while uncovering a sinister plot involving the criminal underbelly and said missing person, all while trying to protect their friends and family from mortal danger. Familiar themes of loyalty, second chances, and chosen families are still present in Infinite Wealth. Any Yakuza obsessive (like myself, who has played through every single mainline game) has frankly partly grown tired yet also comfortable with the formula. And sprinkle in a metric ton of lore behind the story, on par with the epics of Homer’s Iliad, and you have yourself a mainline Yakuza entry through and through. But one of the main reasons the first Like a Dragon was so refreshing was the addition of Ichiban which brought some much-needed change, despite still largely sticking with the formula (to the point the start of the game felt like a near carbon copy of Yakuza 1). Luckily for us, Ichiban’s presence still holds steady in Infinite Wealth, as his markedly emotive and goofy personality, in comparison to Kiryu, fits like a glove in Yakuza’s wacky world overflowing with convoluted plotlines, Sujimons, and constant tonal contrasts. However, instead of being centered around Yokohama, this time much of the story is set in Honolulu, the first time a Yakuza game has been largely in a non-Japanese city. But as you can guess, the plot still unfolds similarly to every other Yakuza game before it. With Ichiban’s story intertwined with Kiryu’s last days in Hawaii, it’s hard not to love the joint adventure. Even though it lacks the initial punch Like a Dragon had in Ichiban’s debut, the heartfelt goodbye to a protagonist of whom’s story we’ve been through for almost two decades leaves you in tears by the end. Kazuma Kiryu’s (actual) swan song If you’re like me, you were skeptical as to whether Infinite Wealth truly was the end of the line for Kiryu, as it felt like we have seen the supposed conclusion of his story so many times only for him to come back. Making it feel like he is always inevitable no matter which direction Yakuza goes. Though now, finally, it seems this truly is the end for Kiryu. And what an unforgettable send-off it really is. He still fights, refusing the submit to his fate, however, he, and the entire cast knows, he doesn’t have much time left. Once again, we’re left skeptical if it truly is the end of the line for Kiryu, but in one late-game chapter specifically, it feels as if all doubts are washed away. To leave the world without regrets, Kiryu creates a bucket list in which we go around reminiscing old memories from the decades of installments and stories we’ve come to love. Everything small from the Serena bar and Shangri-la soapland, to the old homeless camp turned Kamurocho Hills, we get to remember all of it. He meets with Date-san, the Stardust boys, we see the children of the Morning Glory Orphanage all grown up and still carrying Kiryu’s legacy onwards. We even get to go back to Kamurocho to reminisce on all the memories we’ve built during our two decades roaming around its cramped streets. It’s a painful farewell for Kiryu by the end of the game, but you can’t help but feel his story truly has come to its conclusion, especially if you complete his bucket list. To that degree, it finally feels like the torch has truly been passed on from Kiryu to Ichiban to uphold what being a true Yakuza is all about. Perhaps, it would’ve been nice if RGG broke the mold and structured its story differently for Kiryu’s farewell, as at times it felt like I was playing the same Yakuza-isms beat for beat, to the point I was able to predict story moments well before they happened. But let’s be honest with ourselves, would we want Yakuza to change its story structure? In all it’s overly complicated mess that requires several games worth of plot to understand fully. Deep down, I don’t want that gone, despite being sensible to stave off staleness. And I have a feeling nobody else truly does either. Why fix what isn’t broke From the first Yakuza game in 2005, to Kiryu’s supposed last call in Yakuza 6 and the Judgement spin-offs to boot, the game stuck to its tried and true beat’em up structure because even back in the PS2 era, they already had it down pat. So why change something that isn’t broken? This is why Like a Dragon and Ichiban’s introduction of turn-based combat (which was due to Ichiban’s obsession with Dragon Quest, a real-life RPG), felt like such a gamble for RGG in 2020. With many fans worrying Yakuza’s fast-paced action would disappear with the shake-up. However, just like how they nailed their beat’em up gameplay the first time in 2005, they already perfected the turn-based pivot in Ichiban’s debut. Somehow, with such a major shift in the core gameplay loop, RGG had already nailed down a winning formula. It squarely feels like a Yakuza game, with every single punch just as heavy and impactful, and the skills and heat actions just as painful and wacky as ever. And even though it’s been three years since we’ve seen the turn-based combat, nothing major has changed. Frankly, at times while roaming around Yokohama with the gang, it felt like I was playing the first game all over again. There are some minute changes to the Essences, but for the most part, everything from jobs to stats, skills, and gear all remains identical. Something deep in me wished it had some sort of shake-up, but to be honest, I was glad that they kept it largely the same, as time away from the turn-based combat system had me missing it even more. Graphically, the game also hasn’t changed much, utilizing the same Dragon Engine we’ve become familiar with since the release of Yakuza 6. But then again, why would they need to change out the engine when what we’ve got certainly still holds up? It isn’t a Yakuza game without detours and substories Yakuza and side stories are somehow a match made in heaven. Despite most substories being a complete tonal departure from the main plot, with our protagonist caught up in odd stories of go-kart racing, cabaret managing, a knock-off Pokemon game with weirdos instead of cute animals, and plenty, plenty more. But it isn’t a Yakuza game without this, and Infinite Wealth’s substories are just as odd and off-kilter as every other mainline Yakuza game you know and love. One of the biggest and newest additions to the substory is Dodonko Island, in which we get what could be labeled as RGG’s version of Animal Crossing. As Ichiban, we are transported to Dodonko Island and are tasked to clean up and rebuild the locale to its former glory as a resort. Here we do everything you’d expect in an Animal Crossing-esque management sim. We farm for resources to create furniture and get money to refurbish the island, and you can use the furniture to jazz up the island to your liking, all while expanding it bit by bit. We also get the introduction of Sujimon battles and trainers, which as you can tell is essentially a continuation of the substory for the first Like a Dragon, Who’s That Sujimon. Continuing in the Pokemon homage of the substory’s name, the new side game has you capturing Sujimons (which are essentially weirdos you come across in your adventures), putting together a team of them, and battling it out with other Sujimon trainers’ team, all with a story arc of its own. Yes, both side games are a major distraction from the main plot (I can attest to spending hours on both), but frankly, that’s the Yakuza experience. The substories are as weird, wacky, and surreal as ever in Infinite Wealth, as is fitting for Yakuza. And just like everything that has preceded it, some of the game’s most heartfelt humanistic moments come from these substories. From a salaryman running away from his problems knowing he’s getting scammed by a girl, to Ichiban getting advice from a matchmaker about needing to let go of his love regrets, you know it’s going to be a touching scene when the melancholic substory theme song starts playing in the background. Verdict – 4/5 Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth marks one of the most important junctures in Yakuza franchise history: that it’s time for Kiryu’s generation to retire. Throughout the entire game, we celebrate Kiryu’s life, but also see the staggering amounts of changes that come with a fresh face. We have a new combat system, a new protagonist to attach ourselves to in Ichiban, a rotating cast of likable characters, new cities like Yokohama and Honolulu to make ourselves home in. Change, especially in a staple like Yakuza is extremely scary, and it’s quite clear RGG for a long time was reluctant to truly move on from Kiryu. Infinite Wealth no doubt still has many stumbles as it falls into the traps of the usual Yakuza-isms of odd pacing and gameplay detours combined with overly convoluted plots. However, it’s all still very much what we’ve come to love from Yakuza. With gameplay that leaves you satisfied with every punch, and the Dragon Engine holding up extremely well despite its age, it’s another fantastic outing across the board. Yakuza is a unique series, and for a long time, it felt like the only reason it worked in all its glorious surreality and heartfelt storylines was Kiryu. However, Infinite Wealth proves Yakuza can exist past Kiryu’s legacy, and Ichiban is the right man to bring about Yakuza’s new generation.

Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth: How to unlock & use the Segway – Dexerto
Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth: How to unlock & use the Segway SEGAGetting around the sunny shores of Hawaii can take some time in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Fortunately, Ichiban can use a Segway to speed up his traversal times, so here’s how you can unlock it. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is finally here, which means players can finally delve into Ichiban’s latest adventure. However, unlike previous Yakuza games, Infinite Wealth offers the biggest environments yet. The game is filled with the usual side-quests and comical shenanigans, which are dotted around the sunny shores of Hawaii and the city streets of Japan. Despite the size, players can speed up their traversal times with the game’s handy Segway. So, here’s how you can get the Segway in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and how you can use it. How to unlock the Segway in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth To get the Segway in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, players need to complete the main story up until Chapter 3. After doing this, a new side story called “Surfing’ the Streets!” will be unlocked. The “Surfing the Streets!” side story can be found on Seaside Avenue, south of the ABC Shop on the Honolulu map. You’ll know you’re at the correct location, as a cutscene will begin to play and the quest will be made available.

It’s also important to note, that the Segway does have one downside – it runs on a battery. This means you’ll need to charge it when it inevitably runs out of power. To do this, head over to a Segway charging station and wait until the battery is topped up.

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name preview – Kazuma Kiryu is back for more – Dexerto
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name preview – Kazuma Kiryu is back for more SEGAKazuma Kiryu fans are in luck. Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is a proper return to form for the iconic series, leaning into its Yakuza roots while bringing this era of the series into modernity with Like a Dragon’s recent improvements. The Like a Dragon series, or Yakuza in the West, has seen around 20 titles release under its vast umbrella since 2005. Naturally, fatigue begins to set in after a while. There’s only so long you can spend exploring the same few alleyways in Japan and mastering the same few minigames. That’s where the likes of the detective-style Judgement games come into focus, alongside the Like a Dragon pivot in 2020. Flipping the series on its head, this new direction gave us a new protagonist, a fresh cast of characters around them, and even did away with the popular beat-em-up style combat, opting for a unique spin on the turn-based approach instead. Divisive in its nature, some have been eager for a return to the series’ roots ever since, and now, the wait is almost over. The Man Who Erased His Name brings back the fan-favorite Kazuma Kiryu along with his more flashy third-person melee combat, and all the rest of the chaotic features fans know and love from the earlier years of the franchise. We just went hands-on with an early build of the upcoming release at PAX Australia and even from a brief session, it’s clear the original vibe of the Yakuza games is so back. Kazuma Kiryu, man of the hour While Ichiban Kasuga very much remains central to the franchise moving forward, The Man Who Erased His Name is a throwback to Kazuma Kiryu’s era leading the charge. Through and through, it feels just like a classic Yakuza title, only modernized with far improved visuals, lightning-fast load times, and of course, filled to the brim with more content than ever. Stepping back into the shoes of Kiryu is an absolute delight. Not only for his tame behavior and mature outlook in comparison, but for all the accoutrements that come along with his return. Namely, wandering the glitzy streets of Japan and stumbling your way into ridiculous, over-the-top brawls has never been more enjoyable. With a mix of traditional Yakuza-style fighting mechanics, be it combos, weapons in the environment, and charge-up attacks, along with bonus powers through the Agent skills, like calling in a drone strike, no really, it all blends together in that perfectly chaotic fun you know and love. While the turn-based formula certainly has its place, and Like a Dragon no doubt shines because of its originality, returning to what made millions of fans fall in love with the franchise in the first place just feels right. Classic Yakuza fun is back on the menu Naturally, it wouldn’t be a Yakuza or Like a Dragon game without some wild chance encounters, bizarre minigames, and thoroughly hilarious activities on offer. Just from a brief demo in one small part of town, The Man Who Erased His Name nails the assignment once again. Three of us at Dexerto were playing the same demo side by side. Barely a few minutes in and we were all doing something completely different. One of us was grinding a wave-based combat mode, another was enjoying a round of darts, while the final member of our team was getting busy with some… adult entertainment. It’s this unparalleled variety that captivated so many across the earlier mainline entries, and rest assured, the chaos is back in a big way here. From customizing Kiryu in the most obscene ways to gambling your earnings away at the casino, and of course, your mahjong skills will be put to the test here again too. Although we weren’t able to experience much of the story in our brief demo, the tone appears to be exactly in line with what you’d expect from the series. For all intents and purposes, The Man Who Erased His Name comes across as a modernized throwback to everything fans adore of the original entries. If you weren’t a fan of Yakuza 0-6, this likely won’t change your stance. But for experienced fans eager to scratch that itch one more time, and better yet, with Kiryu back in the spotlight, this is not one to miss on November 9.

Here’s everything we know about the game so far, including release date, platforms, trailers & more. The last time we got a Like A Dragon game was in the early half of 2023 with Ishin. However, that was a spin-off series set in feudal Japan back during the era of the Samurai. It seems like Yakuza is returning once again in a modern-day setting with Like A Dragon Gaiden. Apart from that, this brand new title from SEGA will see the return of a fan-favorite protagonist, Kazuma Kiryu. Here’s everything we know so far about Like A Dragon Gaiden, including its release date, platforms, trailers & more. Contents Like A Dragon Gaiden Release Date – Platforms – Trailers – Return of Kazuma Kiryu – Gameplay in Like A Dragon Gaiden – Like A Dragon Gaiden: Release date & platforms Like A Dragon Gaiden is set to release on November 9, 2023. The game will be released for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. It was also recently revealed that Like A Dragon Gaiden will be coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one so subscribers can enjoy the game at no extra cost. This was announced alongside the news that Like A Dragon Ishin will also be coming to Game Pass in 2023. Trailers Like A Dragon Gaiden currently has two trailers. You can find the announcement trailer for the game below: Another trailer was released during Summer Game Fest 2023 which gave fans a brief look into the game’s combat and set-up of the story. You can check it out below: Kazuma Kiryu returns Kazuma Kiryu, the former chairman of the Tojo Clan and a legendary yakuza has been absent from the spotlight ever since Yakuza 6. He made an appearance in the first Like A Dragon game in 2020. He also made a sort of an appearance in Ishin, but that was a completely different setting and had no links to any of the other Yakuza games. However, in Like A Dragon Gaiden, Kiryu is back as Joryu, a security agent, and seems like the story continues after the 2020 title. In the trailer at one point, Kiryu says “I have no name”, which is a homage to his past where he was forced to disappear in order to protect his family. In fact, the game’s title also says “The Man Who Erased His Name”, which makes things quite obvious for any fan who has been following the series for a while.

Like a Dragon fans slam RGG Studio for using xQc to promote Infinite Wealth – Dexerto
Like a Dragon fans slam RGG Studio for using xQc to promote Infinite Wealth xQc/RGG StudioLike a Dragon: Infinite Wealth developers RGG Studio have gone all-out on the marketing campaign of their upcoming turn-based RPG, but many fans of the series and even former developers feel xQc is the “worst choice” to represent the game. The Like a Dragon series, formerly known as the Yakuza series in the West, has gained meteoric levels of popularity over the years. Its over-the-top presentation, strong characters, heartfelt stories, and bizarre side activities have made it a unique franchise that’s maintained a huge audience. After the success of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, the series’ 7th mainline entry, RGG Studio has put a lot of marketing dollars behind Infinite Wealth to try and capture an even bigger audience for their upcoming game Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. However, the decision to work with xQc hasn’t gone over well with longtime fans of the series, with many blasting Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth’s marketing decision to promote their game through the creator. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth’s xQc crossover sparks controversy xQc is one of the largest livestreamers in the world, commanding a massive following that was worth millions of dollars to Kick. Even before one of the largest streaming deals in history, xQc was a star. So, it should come as no surprise that companies will sponsor his stream to put their game in front of a massive audience. This has become an increasingly popular practice in general for companies trying to promote their game, and it can be a great way to generate hype. However, RGG’s choice to back xQc hasn’t gone over well with the community, with many claiming xQc has been critical of the franchise in the past and not being fans of what they believe he and his community represent. This post also led a dev who worked with the studio in the past to speak out, going as far as saying that the streamer is the “worst choice” they could have made for someone to sponsor. What’s more, Gamespot’s Tamoor Hussain pointed out that xQc didn’t even know what kind of game he was playing. During a turn-based battle, xQc was seen waffling about waiting for the enemy to attack him, seemingly not knowing that he was playing a turn-based game at all. Regardless, this decision doesn’t seem to have halted the hype for Infinite Wealth for fans of the series all that much, even if they don’t believe that xQc is the sort of person RGG should have worked with.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure has one big challenge to overcome – Dexerto
Life is Strange: Double Exposure has one big challenge to overcome Deck Nine GamesOne of the biggest surprises of Summer Game Fest was the reveal of the next Life is Strange title but Double Exposure will have a major challenge to overcome as it lets fans step into the shoes of the series’ first protagonist. The original Life is Strange launched back in 2015 in an episodic manner where players got to experience the story of young photography student Max Caulfield through 5 gripping episodes. Max quickly discovered she had the supernatural ability to rewind time before reconnecting with her former best friend, Chloe Price. These events lead the teens to band together to figure out how and why Chloe’s friend, Rachel Amber, had gone missing six months before. Though it was far from perfect, the narrative adventure captured the hearts of fans worldwide and led to a full-fledged franchise spawning out of what may have been a hidden gem. Almost a decade on and Double Exposure will continue Max’s story as she embarks to prevent the death of her friend Safi. She’ll have to wield her powers once again if she wants to solve and stop the murder. While the sequel is certainly an exciting prospect – who doesn’t love revisiting a beloved video game character? There is one bit of apprehension in the air, though. How can Double Exposure honor the choices players have already made? The Bay or the Bae The ending of the first Life is Strange cumulated in the player having to either save Chloe’s life or prevent Max’s hometown of Arcadia Bay from being devastated by a storm. While saving Chloe (commonly referred to as the Bae ending by fans) is the choice that a lot of people opt for, considering how beloved a character she is, it’s still a massive emotional dilemma as you reach the end of the story. Now that we know Double Exposure is revisiting Max, we can’t help but wonder how Deck Nine could address the crucial choice players made in the original game — and whether it can be done right. Where in the world is Chloe Price? We know Max still possesses her rewind powers in Double Exposure (as evidenced in the first line of the trailer) but she’s vowed never to use them again, presumably after the devastating events of Life is Strange’s ending. Chloe is nowhere in sight, though, which begs the question: Is she alive or not? Obviously, including her in the initial reveal trailer would utterly ruin any element of surprise (and fan service), and this is undoubtedly a Max-centric story. To ignore the impact of that final choice, however, would seem like a disservice to the fanbase, so how could it potentially play out? Split timelines Details about Double Exposure are still a bit scarce, but we know that split timelines will play a big role in the story. It’s all about Max using her powers to investigate parallel timelines to prevent her friend’s murder, and these timelines could directly reference past decisions. Chloe could be alive in one timeline and not in the other, meaning maybe you’ll have the chance to see Arcadia Bay if you originally choose to save the town. This could be a perfect way to appease fans, no matter which ending they choose. It could also mean they wouldn’t have to make one of the endings canon – something that would detract from the emphasis on personal choice the series provides. Alternatively, a prompt at the beginning of Double Exposure that simply asks players what option they picked at the end of Life is Strange could impact things – perhaps reordering the events of the game, pertaining to which timeline you start in before hopping between realities after discovering Safi’s body. To really cause some chaos, what if the only timeline where Safi can survive is the one where Chloe’s dead? Ultimately forcing Max to choose between two loved ones. It would certainly be an intense choice that wouldn’t be unusual for the franchise to present fans with. Regardless of the direction Double Exposure heads in, I’m as excited as I am apprehensive about it, and I hope Deck Nine can pull things off in a satisfying way. One thing’s for sure, I can’t wait to step back into Max Caulfield’s shoes this October.

Life is Strange Double Exposure is a return to the series’ roots – Dexerto
Life is Strange Double Exposure is a return to the series’ roots Deck Nine GamesLife is Strange: Double Exposure hits store shelves on October 29, almost a full decade on from the original, but before the new iteration is out in full, we got the chance to try out one of the game’s early chapters. We loved every moment of it. Life is Strange has mastered the art of single-player storytelling, emphasizing exploration and player choice, delivering often hard-hitting and emotional plots with characters you come to love over the course of their journey. Dontnod Entertainment set the bar high with the first game’s release, dropping us into the shoes of Max Caulfield. Now Double Exposure is looking to have players don those shoes again in 2024. We had the opportunity to experience one of the game’s chapters ahead of launch. Here’s how it played out. Visions of a new Max Life is Strange: Double Exposure doesn’t stray away from the original art style that made the games before it fantastic. With a few upgrades in terms of visuals and graphics, the game looks polished and helps to enunciate the emotional story that current developers Deck Nine are looking to accomplish. Max, while obviously being a lot older still maintains much of that similar awkwardness that she had from the original title. She does however show a bit more charisma and confidence as a young woman. The upgraded graphics also make the game feel more realistic, moving it away from the almost picturesque and hazy visual themes of the first title. A tried and true formula Gameplay-wise, Double Exposure doesn’t really iterate much on the formula, but it doesn’t really need to. The game very much plays the same, with you controlling Max to move around the environment, interacting with various items that provide story, world-building, or just a funny tidbit of information. The main power that Max has in Double Exposure allows her to shift between parallel timelines, and this is used to great effect in the game. You’ll be solving puzzles by grabbing items from various timelines, escaping or dodging out of situations at whim, and more. While the idea of traveling through parallel timelines is cool, there does seem to be a limit. From what we played, it seems that you can only shift timelines in specific spots, somewhat cutting down the potential of how this idea might be explored. Despite that, the fact that you have to account for each of the different timelines and what events took place in each of them is interesting. Not only do the events affect the timeline’s environment, but also affect the characters within them, which the devs seemed to have paid specific attention to. For example, in the timeline where Safiya dies, Moses is fully aware of this, the Moses in the parallel timeline is not, and can still interact with Safiya to this day. Because of that, Max needs to be specific with their choice of words when interacting with him. Tonally on point While we only played a small amount of Double Exposure, it’s clear the developers have hit the tonal nail on the head. Max is still just as snarky and colloquial as always, providing witty remarks to herself and the player. She also interacts with other characters in a similar way. We got to speak to both Moses and Vince Alderman throughout the preview, both of whom felt like strong characters, each with their own morals, only adding to the further “whodunnit” behind Safiya’s murder. Fans who have enjoyed the style of writing in other games will have a blast in Double Exposure, but if you’ve never taken a liking to these stories, the new title won’t change your mind. A game for longtime fans Life is Strange: Double Exposure reinvigorated what I liked about the franchise in the first place. The clever use of each game’s main mechanic or power, the world-building, the strongly written characters, and the laidback, yet momentous story are all present in the new title. If you’re a fan of the franchise and are looking to see the continuation of Max Caulfield’s story, there’s no real reason to not pick up Life is Strange: Double Exposure when it releases on October 29, 2024.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure – Everything we know so far Deck Nine GamesLife is Strange: Double Exposure was announced at the Xbox Games Showcase during Summer Games Fest, and it features the return of the original protagonist, Max Caulfield, in an intense murder mystery.

Since 2015, the games have garnered a dedicated fanbase thanks to their compelling narratives and emphasis on player choice. Double Exposure will put fans back in the shoes of Max Caulfield as she attempts to prevent her friend’s murder across two separate timelines. Release date & platforms Life is Strange: Double Exposure will be released on October 29, 2024. The game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Trailers The first trailer for Double Exposure was released on June 9, 2024. It sets up the core premise of the story when Max finds her friend Safi’s body in the woods and embarks on a journey between two timelines to prevent her death. Following on from the reveal trailer, an extended gameplay showcase was shared on YouTube on June 13, 2024. Another trailer was shared on August 22, 2024, that highlighted Max’s powers and how players will need to use them to solve Safi’s murder. You can check it out below: Editions There are four versions of the game available to pre-order. You can find a full breakdown of each edition and what it includes below: Standard edition – $49.99 / £49.99 Base game – Deluxe edition – $59.99 / £59.99 Base game – Spooky Outfit Pack – Decades Outfit Pack – Ultimate Edition – $79.99 / £79.99 Final Fantasy VII Outfit Pack – Fan Favorite Outfit Pack – Paw Prints Cat Outfit Pack – Exclusive Cat Content – Early release – chapters 1 & 2 will unlock 2 weeks ahead of the full game’s release. – Collector’s edition – $59.99 / £54.99 The Collector’s Edition is exclusively available to pre-order from the Square Enix store and features a handful of physical goodies, though it’s important to note that it does not include a copy of the game itself. 12” Vinyl Soundtrack – available here and nowhere else!

When Max discovers her friend Safi dead in the snow, she embarks on a journey across two parallel timelines – one where Safi is alive, and one where she’s not – to solve the mystery and prevent her murder. Throughout the game, players will have to investigate both timelines and piece together the events of the crime to keep Safi safe. Max’s powers have changed since the first game, she now possesses a Pulse ability that allows her to peer into another timeline. This means she can clearly see the difference between timelines, and avoid anyone noticing her as she investigates. Shift points will also appear thanks to the help of Pulse and Max can take advantage of these to push through to the opposite timeline. Players can also toggle UI settings that will confirm the timeline you’re in whenever you shift to save confusion. One of the biggest concerns the fan base has is how Double Exposure will address the ending of the original Life is Strange game, particularly in regards to the fate of Chloe Price and Arcadia Bay. In a recent live stream, game director Jonathan Stauder confirmed that the follow-up will “respect” both endings of the original game. “There’s no canon ending in our book to the first game. Double Exposure will respect both endings in Max’s thoughts, her journal, her SMS, her interactions with other characters – what she opts to reveal about her past to her new friends is all reflective of that final choice.” For more on upcoming games, check out our hubs for Gears of War E-Day, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, Silent Hill 2, and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.

Life by You: Everything we know about Paradox’s canceled life sim – Dexerto
Life by You: Everything we know about Paradox’s canceled life sim EA’s The Sims has had a stranglehold on the life simulation genre for a very long time. Developer Paradox Tectonic’s Life by You attempted to wrest that crown away, but its production didn’t go as planned. Life by You was first teased in March 2023, promising a depth of simulation that players of the genre have yet to see in any competitor. Notably, it marked the first game developed by Paradox Tectonic, which was only founded in 2019. The game was previously slated to go through a period of Early Access on Steam before its full release. Here’s everything the public knew about the now-canceled life sim. Life by You’s cancellation Paradox Interactive terminated Life by You’s production on June 17, 2024. The publisher’s Deputy CEO, Mattias Lilja, explained in a statement on Paradox Forum that the team realized its path towards shipping a game everyone could take pride in would prove “far too long and uncertain.” Previously, Paradox had delayed Life by You’s Early Access phase on three separate occasions. When it was first announced, developer Tectonic scheduled a September 2023 rollout for the Early Access version. This was then pushed back to March 2024 to work on improving several features. A May 2024 news blast further delayed the project to that June, though hopeful players didn’t receive a new release date. In an official statement from Paradox Deputy CEO Mattias Lilja, the developers affirmed they didn’t want to commit to a new date they couldn’t reliably meet. As mentioned above, the next update revolved around Life by You’s cancellation, soon thereafter followed by the shuttering of Tectonic. Paradox Interactive CEO Fredrik Wester broke the news of Paradox Tectonic’s closure on June 18. Wester wrote the following about the 24-person studio in a press release, “Paradox Interactive has decided to cease further operations in the wholly owned studio Paradox Tectonic (Tectonic) in Berkeley, California.” Life by You trailer Life by You features The headline feature, beyond its myriad management options, was Life by You’s fully open world. It had no loading screens and seamless transitions from the outside world to building interiors. Conversations were also a huge part of the experience that developers touted as a way to deepen the simulation considerably. For example, NPCs would’ve spoken with the player character about their lives and recent happenings in dynamic conversations. So if the player had recently secured a job at the local gym, friends or neighbors would’ve offered congratulations. Developers planned on extending this level of interaction to colleagues capable of providing tips or even trying to extend the relationship beyond the workplace by inviting them to parties or on dates. Life by You also promised a higher level of interactivity through driving, cycling, and other forms of travel, with realistic journeys into the city or countryside. Another major feature centered on mod support. Apparently, the game’s advanced technology would’ve allowed for a more significant toolkit for modders. Because Paradox ceased development operations, none of these features will ever see the light of day.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure dev confirms game will “respect” both original endings – Dexerto
Life is Strange: Double Exposure dev confirms game will “respect” both original endings Square EnixLife is Strange: Double Exposure has been confirmed to “respect” both endings of the original game amid concerns from the community. Life is Strange and Max Caulfield will be returning once again, with the recently unveiled game Double Exposure marking the return of the heroine who many fell in love with in the original. And while the community freaked out with excitement when the trailer for Life is Strange: Double Exposure first dropped, many also had some concerns about how the follow-up would address the ending of the original game. In the first Life is Strange, Max is forced to choose between saving her childhood best friend and potential love interest Chloe Price, or saving the residents of Arcadia Bay from a giant tornado that sweeps across the town and destroys everything. In Life is Strange: True Colors, the fate of Arcadia Bay is mentioned briefly in the Wavelengths DLC, with protagonist Steph Gingrich mourning the loss of her friends. Following the release of this DLC, many Life is Strange fans speculated this meant the save Arcadia Bay ending was canon as it is the only game in the franchise to reference the original title. Topic starts at the 19:10 mark However, in a recent live stream, game director Jonathan Stauder confirmed that the follow-up will “respect” both endings of the original game. “It was really important for us at Deck Nine that, if we were going to make another Max adventure, the game would have to respect both of those endings and Double Exposure does that very thing,” Stauder began. The game director then added, “There’s no canon ending in our book to the first game. Double Exposure will respect both endings in Max’s thoughts, her journal, her SMS, her interactions with other characters — what she opts to reveal about her past to her new friends is all reflective of that final choice.” For all the latest Life is Strange: Double Exposure news and updates, be sure to check out Dexerto’s hub here.

Lies of P 2: Possible setting, characters & everything we know – Dexerto
Lies of P 2: Possible setting, characters & everything we know Neowiz Games / Round 8 StudioThe ending of Lies of P heavily implied that a sequel was coming – and it looks like “we’re off to see the Wizard.” Here’s everything we know so far. Spoilers for the Lies of P ending will be unavoidable here, as the cliffhanger ending of the game clearly communicates where the series is heading. You have been warned. Here goes. So, during the Rise of P ending, which is considered the best (and likely canon) ending of Lies of P, some shadowy figures are seen discussing Pinocchio holding one of the keys to eternal life and that a girl called Dorothy with ruby slippers holds another. This is of course a reference to the Wizard of Oz, which is being teased as the next game in the series. Will there be a Lies of P sequel? While the ending suggested the Lies of P story is not over, during a Director’s Letter video, Lies of P director Ji Won Choi confirmed a sequel was planned while discussing the game’s upcoming DLC. He said, “Our highest priority is developing the DLC and working on our sequel,” confirming that a sequel is in the works. The sequel is unlikely to be a Lies of P 2 though, instead, it looks like the developers are creating a shared universe, with works like Pinocchio and now The Wizard of Oz serving as inspiration for the first two entries. Therefore, we expect to see a Soulslike game take place in a much darker version of the Land of Oz. It will be interesting to see if/how Pinocchio or the events of Lies of P play into a possible Wizard of Oz-themed sequel, and where else we could go in subsequent games. As characters like Dorothy have already been revealed, more could be in the upcoming DLC. Does Lies of P 2 have a release date? No, not yet. All we know is the team will be working on the game once they finish up with the Lies of P DLC. The platforms the game will be released on are also unknown. So, that’s all we know about the Lies of P sequel so far. For more on the biggest upcoming releases, check out our pages on some of the most-anticipated games that have been announced: The Elder Scrolls 6 | GTA 6 | Assassin’s Creed Infinity | Wolverine | KOTR Remake | Wonder Woman | Pragmata | Control 2

Lies of P player beats every boss without getting hit before the full release – Dexerto
Lies of P player beats every boss without getting hit before the full release Neowiz Games/Round 8 StudiosLies of P is not an easy game by any means. In fact, by Soulslike standards, it’s one of the more difficult of the genre. That’s why one YouTuber’s no-damage boss run has players calling them “the chosen one”. Lies of P is surprising gamers everywhere. What was initially thought of as just another FromSoftware rip-off has revealed itself to be arguably the most competent imitation of the formula to date. Our own review calls Lies of P “the genuine article” and part of that comes down to how well developer Neowiz mixes Soulslike conventions with their own innovations. Part of that is obviously the punishing but fair difficulty that has streamers like xQc injuring themselves in fits of rage. Some players are built differently though and YouTuber Ongbal appears to be one of them. They pulled off a hitless boss run of Lies of P before the game even left its early access period. Soulslikes and Soulsbornes (it’s a thing, don’t worry about it) like Lies of P are characterized by insanely tough boss fights. They reward players for learning and exploiting their varied patterns of attack. This can be a lengthy process requiring numerous attempts and a level of perseverance that is taught through death after death. That’s why Ongbal managing these perfect runs less than 3 days into Lies of P’s release is so impressive. The video shows them styling on bosses that have most of the community walled off for hours and making it look effortless. It’s certainly not effortless of course. Ongbal’s ability to hit Lies of P’s minuscule Perfect Block window has commenters calling them “disgustingly good”. Even Lies of P’s development team took the time to congratulate Ongbal calling them “crazy” if Google’s translator is accurate. We’re pretty sure that’s a compliment anyway. Ongbal’s video is a fantastic resource for Lies of P players stuck on bosses because it highlights each one’s elemental weakness. These can be used to make these fights easier, but not by much. We’ve got a bunch of guides for those embroiled in Lies of P’s puppet-based conspiracy. We can’t promise they’ll make you see the Matrix like Ongbal but they’ll help a bit. How long is Lies of P?

Lies of P players believe Souls game is a true “Bloodborne sequel” – Dexerto
Lies of P players believe Souls game is a true “Bloodborne sequel” Neowiz Games, Round 8 Studio, FromSoftwareThe unlikely formula Lies of P uses has been a success with players absolutely loving the unconventional mix of Soulslike elements and the age-old Pinocchio fable. In fact, the player base is so enamored by the title that they believe it is a spiritual Bloodborne successor. There are certain games every once in a while where their legacy transcends generations. One fine example of this is FromSoftware’s Bloodborne. Before Elden Ring, and even then, many Souls players consider Bloodborne to be FromSoft’s magnum opus. Tons of games have copied the company’s illustrious gameplay formula to varying results. 2023’s Lies of P is the latest game to give it a crack. Unlike many other Soulslike narratives, Lies of P puts storytelling at the forefront of its adventure. Using a unique retelling of Pinocchio, players take the titular character through the Ergo-afflicted world of Krat. The consensus has been positive so far, and some users have gone as far as saying that it easily compares to Bloodborne! Lies of P “scratches that Bloodborne itch” for a sequel Not a single Sony State of Play seems to go by without at least someone asking for either a Bloodborne remaster or sequel. Well, Lies of P appears to be the game to fill that void, according to players. “So I’m a massive Souls fan (played all of them), and I’ve always been on the lookout for the next Souls experience that I’d really enjoy. But this game…just, wow! I’d truly recommend this to every FromSoft fan and this game being from a new studio is absolutely nuts. The effort put into this game is truly extraordinary. Absolutely worth the day 1 purchase,” said Reddit user Bilaal98. The top comment on the post was in complete agreement going as far as to call it a Bloodborne sequel: “I am a die-hard Souls fan, and I am absolutely in love with the game so far. This is the first Soulslike game that wasn’t developed by FromSoft that I have played that really feels like the same quality as a FromSoft game. It feels like we just got [a] Bloodborne / Sekiro sequel.” Another claimed said that “This game will blow the minds of people that think it’s just a cheap attempt at a soul-like game. It’s incredible,” and another player chimed in: “Loved the demo and playing on Game Pass. It’s scratching my Bloodborne itch nicely.” It must be a great honor for developers Neowiz Games and Round8 Studio to hear such compliments. They will also be impressed by the player who has managed to beat every boss in the game without taking a single hit.

Lies of P: How to finish “Find My Baby” side quest – Dexerto
Lies of P: How to finish “Find My Baby” side quest NeowizFind My Baby is a small side quest that you will come across very early in Lies of P. Here is a guide on how to complete it in-game. Lies of P is a brand new souls-like game that is set in the dark and elegant Belle Epoque era. In this game, you are thrown into a city named Krat where puppets are going haywire and you are tasked with bringing things in order. As such, you will come across some friendly faces, several strong and difficult enemies, and a few NPCs looking for help. Interacting with these NPCs will lead to side quests that will grant rewards. One such side-quest that you will come across very early in the game is called Find My Baby. Here is all you need to know on how to access this quest and the rewards you can get for successful completion. How to complete the Find My Baby side quest in Lies of P Find My Baby is a really small side quest in Lies of P. The steps you need to follow in order to complete it have been provided below: 1. Talk to the lady in the window In order to start this quest you will need to talk to a lady whose shadow you will see on a window. Reaching this place is quite easy and you cannot miss it. You need to start from the “Inside the House on Elyson Boulevard” Stargazer. Proceed along this area as you figure out a way to open the lift near the aforementioned Stargazer. You will need to fight your way on the rooftops till you reach a broken wall. Make your way inside the broken wall, walk a little, and drop down the staircase into a courtyard. You will see a small window with a white light and a lady’s shadow. Speak to the lady. The lady will mention that her child has been taken from her. You can accept or reject her request to find her child. However, in this case, we shall accept. 2. Defeat the Mad Donkey and travel to Krat City Hall After you have spoken to the lady, go down the staircase and proceed forward. Here you will find an opening from where you can activate a shortcut to the lift near the “Inside the House on Elyson Boulevard” Stargazer. Use it as you will need to face off against a powerful boss known as the Mad Donkey This boss carries a massive sword in his hand and wears a donkey mask to hide his face. The boss may seem difficult but his attacks take time to recover. You can use the recovery windows to walk behind the boss and backstab him. Once the boss is defeated, a cutscene will play and the gate in front of you will open. Make your way to the “Krat City Hall” Stargazer. 3. Pick up the Broken Baby Puppet doll Once you reach the Krat City Hall Stargazer, fight your way until you reach a small garden. Look right and you will see an enemy. Defeat the enemy and pick up the Broken Baby Puppet doll from here. 4. Give the Doll to the Lady Once you pick up the doll go back to the Lady once again. Once you give her the doll the lady will ask a rhetorical question on how adorable her child is. You can respond by either telling the truth that it is a puppet or lying that it is a cute baby. Choose the second option and lie. This will make the lady feel happy and she will reward you with a Feel (Record) and one Vivid Ergo Fragment. The Record can be played at Hotel Krat and it will help to obtain Humanity. There you go, this concludes our guide for the Find My Baby side quest in Lies of P.

Lies of P Endings explained: Should you tell the truth? – Dexerto
Lies of P Endings explained: Should you tell the truth? Neowiz Games / Round 8 StudioLies of P has multiple endings, here’s how to unlock each one. We’ll also explain what each ending means, including that cliffhanger. Depending on your actions during the game and one final choice you need to make before the final boss of Lies of P, you’ll unlock one of three endings. This story of Pinocchio doesn’t just end with him happily reunited with his father Geppetto as he morphs into a real boy. Every ending has a slightly grim tone, although, some are decidedly more grim than others. Below, we’ll detail how you can unlock each of the three endings in the game, as well as explain what transpires in each and where it might lead the story in the future. It appears that Pinocchio may not be the only story from children’s literature being adapted into a Soulslike adventure. Be warned, as we’re discussing the endings of Lies of P, this explainer will be littered with spoilers. Contents Real Boy: They all lived happily ever after While this sounds like a happy ending, it could be considered the worst in Lies of P, depending on your point of view. In this ending after defeating Simon, Geppetto asks Pinocchio to give him his heart so that he can become a real boy. If you agree, Pinocchio essentially dies and his heart is used to resurrect Geppetto’s human son Carlo instead. While this could be interpreted as Pinocchio becoming a real boy, it could also be seen as a callous betrayal by Geppetto. It all depends on how you see it and your view on whether Pinocchio, or any puppet, is truly sentient, or just a machine. After resurrecting Carlo, Geppetto has him murder all the survivors in the hotel, turns them into puppets, and escapes the city. So it’s a rather dark ending compared to the others. To unlock this ending, simply give Geppetto the heart when he asks. Your choices regarding honesty and Sofia’s fate don’t matter if you choose this option. Free from the puppet strings In the second possible ending, you’ll need to refuse when Geppetto asks you to hand over your heart. This will result in Geppetto trying to take it by force by activating another boss known as the Nameless Puppet. After you defeat this boss, it will strike at your heart only for Geppetto to die protecting you, so that he can retrieve the heart for Carlo. However, he’ll succumb to his wounds, cursing Pinocchio and failing to resurrect his son. Pinocchio will then be free from Gepetto’s control and free to make his own choices. Rise of P To unlock this ending you’ll need to meet certain criteria. First, only tell lies throughout your run, give the painting ‘Portrait of a Boy’ to Geppetto, and choose to give peace to Sofia when prompted to. Then refuse when Geppetto asks you to hand over your heart and then defeat the Nameless Puppet. In this ending, Geppetto apologizes to P for his deception rather than cursing him. Pinocchio will then use his ergo to revive Sofia as a puppet, allowing her to live again. Then in a mysterious post-credits scene, a man will explain to his boss that Pinocchio holds one of the keys to eternal life and that a girl called Dorothy with ruby slippers holds another. This is of course a reference to the Wizard of Oz, which is being teased as the next game in the series. If you got this ending and also collected and listened to all the records in the game, then you’ll be able to unlock the Golden Lie weapon in Geppetto’s study at the hotel in NG+. So there you have it, all three endings in Lies of P and what they represent. For more Lies of P content, check out our other guides below: How long is Lies of P?

Lies of P: Gameplay, platforms & everything we know – Dexerto
Lies of P: Gameplay, platforms & everything we know Neowiz Games / Round 8 StudioCombining fairytales with horror souls-likes, Lies of P is a unique take on the beloved tale of Pinocchio. Here’s everything we know about it. Lies of P is a Pinocchio-inspired souls-like with a dark twist, and this is a very different adaptation of the quest to become a “real boy” than Disney portrayed. In fact, Lies of P will take inspiration from the original Pinocchio book, while leaning heavily into the action-adventure aspects to create a dark and difficult game. The release of a gameplay trailer has proven just how dark this game actually is and how challenging it looks as you guide Pinocchio through the unforgiving landscape. So, with it being released on Xbox Game Pass upon release, the hype is beginning to spread. Here’s everything we know about Lies of P. Contents: Is there a Lies of P release date? – What is Lies of P about? – Lies of P gameplay trailers – What platforms can you play Lies of P on? – Is there a Lies of P release date? Lies of P will release on September 16, 2023, meaning players don’t have long to wait until they can lead the popular puppet to his destiny. What is Lies of P about? Lies of P is far from the traditional fairytale many remember when they hear that a game is inspired by Pinocchio. Essentially, it’s an action souls-like game filled with tough battles, brutal scenes, and a dark atmosphere throughout. Your job is to guide the now mechanical Pinocchio through the world on his journey to find Mr. Geppetto and turn back into a human. During the journey, you get to make your own weapons and upgrade Pinocchio to help him stay alive. The title is filled with challenging combat, a dark and twisted story, and unspeakable horrors, most of which you need to defeat. As for the story, it involves multiple endings, tough choices, and a lying mechanic that forces players to think about what they’re saying at all times. In the original story, lies make Pinocchio’s nose grow, here the results will be far more sinister. Lies of P gameplay trailers Initially shown in Gamecoms Opening Night Live, the gameplay reveal for Lies of P depicts a creepier and deadlier take on the classic Pinnochio tale. You can watch it below: During Summer Game Fest 2023, the studio unleashed another brand-new trailer for the title, which also unveiled news about a playable demo.

Does Lies of P have an easy mode? – Dexerto
Does Lies of P have an easy mode? Neowiz Games / Round 8 StudioLies of P is a Soulslike game, which has people wondering, does Lies of P have an easy mode difficulty setting? We’re going to answer that question for you today and explain if Pinocchio will have to forget about being a real boy and become a man. One of the hottest talking points about Soulslike games continues to be difficulty. Are they too difficult for casual gamers? Should these games incorporate some kind of user-friendly settings to make the genre more accessible? Many argue that this would defeat the tone of the games and negate the gameplay. As such, practically every game that identifies as a ‘Souls’ game pretty much has one standard difficulty setting. This brings us to Lies of P. Offering a fresh take on the story of Pinocchio, the humanoid is on a quest to find Gepetto and get to the bottom of the mystery behind the malfunctioning puppets. To do this, players will have to scratch and claw through the game. If you’re struggling with the game and wondering if it has an easy mode, then let’s explain all to you right here. Does Lies of P have difficulty settings? Unfortunately, no, Lies of P does not have an easy mode or any sort of difficulty settings for users to tweak their experience and make it more forgiving. Again, following in the footsteps of other games in the genre, Lies of P is tough. If you’re struggling, you’ll need to “git gud scrub.” This is the advice many hardened veterans of Souls and Soulslike games would likely offer. However, we recommend that you utilize a useful but intangible concept – patience. You are going to die. A lot. Once you accept that, you’ve already made the game easier. Shortcuts allow you to get back to areas much quicker and Lies of P even provides handy items allowing you to preserve your Ergo should you die – which you will. Experiment with your weapons, customize your Legion Arms, invest in more Pulse Cells wherever possible, and you should be able to perish the thought of an easy mode! There are other burning questions about Lies of P that need answering, and we have done that down below: Is Lies of P coming to Xbox Game Pass? | Will Lies of P be on Nintendo Switch? | Lies of P system requirements – Minimum & recommended PC specs | Is Lies of P a Souls game? | Will Lies of P be on Steam Deck? | How long is Lies of P?

Lies of P DLC confirmed by job listing – Dexerto
Lies of P DLC confirmed by job listing Neowiz Games / Round 8 StudioSoulslike Lies of P will be getting DLC sometime in the future according to a listing on developer Neowiz’s job board. The Pinocchio-inspired Soulslike Lies of P is getting DLC. Since launch, players have speculated that the developers were planning a follow-up. Now, a couple of job listings on developer Neowiz’s website confirm plans for additional content. While there’s no word on when fans can expect it or what it will entail, Lies of P itself gives a pretty big clue of what’s to come. Note, spoilers for Lie of P’s post-credits scene. Lies of P DLC may pick up from the game’s post-credits tease Spotted by Twitter user Okami Games, Neowiz is looking for a scenario and setting planner, a quest planner, and a content planner to work on Lies of P DLC. It seems pretty likely the DLC will be inspired by The Wizard of Oz, which the post-credits scene teases. After beating the game and rolling credits, players are treated to a scene in which a mysterious man named Paracelsus discusses the results of the “Krat experiment.” He reports that Pinocchio may hold a key to eternal life and that he’s looking for another key: Dorothy. The scene then cuts to a girl wearing red shoes. She clicks her heels three times in a clear nod to The Wizard of Oz, specifically the 1939 film adaptation. It’s possible the Lies of P DLC will return to Pinocchio or introduce another classic story, saving that Dorothy tease for a full sequel. Regardless, it’s pretty clear Neowiz has something Oz-related in the works. While you wait for the DLC, check out our other Lies of P coverage, including guides that will help you through one of the toughest Soulslikes ever made.

Lies of P all stats explained: Motivity, Technique, Advanced & more – Dexerto
Lies of P all stats explained: Motivity, Technique, Advanced & more Neowiz Games / Round 8 StudioLies of P is a traditional Soulslike through-and-through, featuring a similar gameplay formula and narrative techniques, and this also applies to stats. Here are all Lies of P stats explained for newcomers and genre veterans. Soulslike fans, especially those who loved Bloodborne, will find a lot to enjoy with Lies of P. The game manages to wear its influences clearly on its robotic frilled sleaves – but without ever descending too far into being derivative. This is a dark retelling of the already pretty dark Pinocchio story, set in a Dark Souls-inspired universe that takes grimdark to the extreme. Those who’ve played a Souls or Soulslike game before will be immediately familiar with Lies of P‘s mechanics when it comes to leveling up and stats. However, the game marches to the beat of its own drum, and some of its similarities are labeled very differently and may warrant some explanation. Here’s a breakdown of the stats in Lies of P, what they do, and what they correspond to in classic Soulslike language. Contents Vitality Vitality governs how much HP and health you have in Lies of P, so if you want to survive, this will be a stat you’ll not want to neglect. Leveling it will also increase your Guard Regain, this is a mechanic a bit like Bloodborne’s in which you can regain a small amount of health when counter-attacking. It works a bit differently, but the principle is similar. Vitality also boosts your resistance to elemental and physical damage. Vigor Vigor is the stat in Lies of P that governs your max Stamina. So if you’re running out of Stamina in combat too frequently, give this stat a boost. It dictates how much you can run, continuously attack, and dodge. So, don’t ignore it. The stat also boosts your resistance to various forms of damage, but not as much as Vitality. Motivity Motivity is essentially Lies of P’s strength stat, so it boosts your defense and allows you to wield heavy weapons and do more damage with them. Medium to heavy weapons scale in damage based on this stat, so the more you have, the more damage you’ll do. It’s not so effective when managing the damage of smaller or more advanced weapons though, this is one for the tanks only. Capacity Capacity governs how much weight you can carry at any one time, so the more you upgrade this stat, the more heavier items you can carry together. This works well for builds based on Motivity that require larger, heavier weapons. But it’s also effective for Technique and Advanced builds that require the user to carry protective amulets, throwable items, and more without being slowed down in battle. The more Capacity you have, the more items you’ll be able to carry at one time, meaning you’ll have more options in battle and won’t need to make sacrifices to your loadout. Technique Technique is Lies of P’s Dexterity stat if we were comparing it to Dark Souls. It increases the damage done by medium to light weapons by scaling with them. However, it’s pretty useless for heavy weapons. This is a stat for those who want to be quick and nimble, attacking with Rapiers for light, but deadly, attacks and then jumping out of danger. Like Motivity, it also increases your defense, but it also tends to scale well with advanced and elemental weapons, making it a good choice for those who want to lean into both types of damage. Advanced Think of Advanced as Lies of P’s version of Arcane from Bloodborne, with a bit of the Intelligence stat from Dark Souls thrown in. Lies of P doesn’t feature magic or wizard builds, but Advanced increases the power of your elemental attacks and Legion Arms. This is a stat that allows players to get creative with the damage they do, looking for a boss’s weaknesses and exploiting them to the fullest. It also greatly boosts your resistance to elemental damage. Combining this stat with Technique can lead to some truly devastatingly powerful builds. So there you have it, all the stats in Lies of P explained. For more Lies of P content, check out some of our below guides: How long is Lies of P?

Lies of P called ‘hardest game ever’ as Souls vets hit difficulty wall – Dexerto
Lies of P called ‘hardest game ever’ as Souls vets hit difficulty wall Lies of PPeople knew Lies of P would be a difficult game going into it, but even veteran Dark Souls players claim to have hit a difficulty wall. Some players have given up on the game altogether despite having beaten other FromSoftware games. Bloodborne left many players wanting. With any drop of news about a sequel sparking massive speculation in a wanting fanbase, Lies of P looked to be the game that’d scratch that Souls-like itch for FromSoftware fans. However, those who have conquered the hardest challenges the Souls games and other FromSoft titles have to offer have hit a wall with Lies of P. With many claiming that bosses take over a dozen hours to conquer and some quitting the game altogether, many feel as if Lies of P is even more difficult than the games that inspired it. Souls veterans hit difficulty wall with Lies of P The original Dark Souls’ release redefined the gaming landscape, for better or for worse. It became a bar to which many other games were compared to. If difficulty’s in the conversation when it comes to a game, Dark Souls is likely to become part of that conversation very quickly. However, even through the lens of games’ difficulty being compared to Dark Souls being a bit of a tedious concept, Lies of P coming so close to its inspiration makes it impossible to avoid the comparison. And, for many Souls players, Lies of P is much, much harder than the Souls games. The conversation kicked off right after release, with one player’s controverisal post speaking about how they’ve beaten every Souls game several times and yet couldn’t make any progress. Other players have claimed that they’ve gotten stuck on certain bosses for over a dozen hours at a time. With enemies regenerating health if you go too long without hitting them and a lack of ranged options, players don’t have any choice but to engage with every system the game has on offer rather than finding their own way to win. Anyone who beat a game like Elden Ring through magic would be woefully unprepared for Lies of P. This has led to a lot of Souls players bashing Lies of P, claiming that it needs drastic overhauls to core game systems like parrying, dodging, and other core parts of combat to bring it more in line with FromSoftware titles. However, Souls expert Iron Pineapple argued that, while players’ frustrations are understandable, that people have to drop pre-conceived notions about what the game “should” be in favor of embracing Lies of P for what it is. “This game was clearly meticulously designed, and choices like attacks not being cancellable or the parry window being relatively small are not mistakes or accidents. They’re just different from what a lot of people are used to.” He continued, “The overall response reminds me heavily of when Sekiro first came out, and also when the Nioh games came out, and how people bounce off of them because they treated them like Souls games. Some people are playing it like it’s Bloodborne, some people are playing it like it’s Sekiro. Both groups are wrong. You need to play it like it’s Lies of P and meet the game where it’s at.”

Is Lies of P a Souls game? – Dexerto
Is Lies of P a Souls game? Neowiz Games/Round 8 StudioLies of P has garnered a lot of attention for being a twisted-looking action game based on the legendary story of Pinocchio. One detail that many interested spectators have wondered about is the genre – is Lies of P a Souls game? The typical perception of Pinocchio is the 1940 Disney cartoon. Fast-forward to 2023 though, and the titular character is less a wooden boy and more a humanoid capable of delivering scintillating punishment in third-person action. Yes, Lies of P is a unique creation – kind of like Pinocchio himself. All the footage of the game and action we’ve seen unfold looks breathtaking and hard-hitting. Some of the game’s elements have got people talking and the nature of Lies of P being a Soulslike title is plaguing the minds of many. So without further ado, let’s clear up this ambiguous subject. Is Lies of P a Soulslike? It may surprise people to know that Lies of P is most definitely a Souls game. The brutal genre of game that centers around punishingly difficult combat, the loss of earned currency if you die, respawning enemies, and many more familiar traits. It makes sense that the dark, dystopian world of Lies and P is backed up by Souls mechanics.

Lethal Company Version 45 patch notes: New Monsters, Items & more Lethal CompanyFollowing Lethal Company’s breakout success, developer Zeekerss has been hard at work on the first content update. Now, they’ve revealed what the first big update will have in store and has immediately released it. Here are the full Lethal Company Version 45 patch notes. Lethal Company took over the Steam charts following its viral success as players and content creators alike flocked to the game. However, to hold on to that playerbase, they’ll need to release some regular content updates. Enter Version 45, the newest update for Lethal Company and its first major content drop. Though the patch notes and trailer are a bit vague, there’s a lot to wean from what Zeekerss has told us. Here are the full patch notes and trailer for Lethal Company Version 45. Lethal Company Version 45 release date Lethal Company’s Version 45 update is out now! The developer released the trailer at the same time that they dropped the update, so you’ll be able to play the new content as soon as you update the game. That said, it’s as of yet unclear when we’ll be getting new content for the game after this. It remains to be seen if the developer teases future content and plans to get into a regular cadence of content updates. Version 45 full patch notes The patch notes are a bit more vague than is standard for most multiplayer games, leaving some mystery to as to how these changes may affect the overall gameplay experience. The full patch notes are as follows: Added chemistry flasks and dramatic Masks, Nutcrackers with guns and spray paint cans for funs. – Rail cheese has been nearly destroyed, but the forest giant is easier to avoid. – Added to radar boosters the “flash” command, and the ship’s new “signal translator” will be in great demand. – Keybind settings are in, and I gave the item delivery ship a jolly spin. – Gravity is more dangerous, but improved Mansion map generations will be good for us. – Arachnophobia mode will ease your fear, and I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year. – Here’s an abridged version of these notes with some additional things players have discovered: Chemistry Flasks, Masks, Spray Paint, a functional Woopie Cushion (nice), and wrapped gifts added, assumedly as collectable scrap – New ship decor added – Signal translator added to the store. It allows players to transmit a text message to every player in the lobby, though it’s limited to 9 characters – Rails have been nerfed as a way to avoid monsters – Forest Giant nerfed – Fall damage increased – Improved Mansion map generation, though it’s not clear what “improved” means – Radar boosters given the “flash” command on the ship terminal, giving them the ability to flash enemies and teammates. – Keybind settings added – Arachnophobia mode added, though it literally just turns spiders into floating text that reads, “Spider”. – Shotguns have been added and can be attained by killing the Nutcracker – Masks can possess players and turn them into a zombie-like monster, meaning two monsters were technically added in this update. – Additionally, there’s an option to play the game’s previous version for those who want their mods to work without having to update them. Lethal Company Version 45 trailer If you’d like to see the new content in action, here’s the full trailer for Version 45: More is still being discovered about this update as players get their hands on it and discover the details developer Zeekerss purposely hid for players to find.

Lethal Company player hilariously gets caught in crossfire by teammate – Dexerto
Lethal Company player hilariously gets caught in crossfire by teammate ZeekerssLethal Company is one of those games that will expose you to several hilarious moments that will leave behind a long-standing impression on you. One such player recently came across a similar moment where they hilariously got caught in a crossfire while their teammate was trying to shoot a Coil-Head. Lethal Company is currently one of the most popular games on Steam. It has a really fun gameplay loop and if you are playing with friends, you will have a really good time. However, you will also run into moments within the game that will leave you perplexed at times. One such player was subjected to a similar situation where they ended up catching their ally in a crossfire while trying to shoot a Coil-Head. Lethal Company player accidentally shoots ally while trying to take down a Coil-Head The discussion surrounding the topic was started by a Reddit user named curiousguy_08. The user posted a video where they were trying to shoot a Coil-Head. However, their friend was standing right across the Coil-Head. As it happens, the shot fired from the shotgun ended up killing the friend instead of the Coil-Head. The way this happened was quite hilarious and hence it led to quite a lot of attention from the community. Other players joined in the conversation as well since they wanted to have some fun regarding the topic. One such player mentioned, “That’s some looney toons logic.” Another user chimed in, “who’s gonna tell him (you can’t kill coil-heads).” One user also commented, “Even if you could kill it, I wouldn’t be surprised if the shotgun didn’t even scratch it. Against monsters, the shotgun is weirdly inconsistent. Against players, the spread is large and death is certain.” There was a comment that claimed, “I KILLED TWO MY FRIENDS TRYING TO SHOOT A MIMIC. F*** IM NOT TAKING THE BLAME ANY LONGER THE GUN IS JUST WANKY.” Finally, one of the users remarked, “I love how you start approaching his corpse like: “No! My friend!” and then remember that the coil-head is still there and rotate at the last moment.” Therefore, it is safe to claim that the moment mentioned here is definitely a funny one. It was an accident but Lethal Company’s awkward physics made it even more hilarious. Additionally, players also mentioned that the weapon is also inconsistent which is yet another aspect that makes Lethal Company quite uncertain.

Lethal Company player discovers way to survive missing quota – Dexerto
Lethal Company player discovers way to survive missing quota ZeekerssMissing quota is an ever looming death sentence for Lethal Company players as quotas become more and more difficult to clear. However, a few ingenious players have discovered a way to survive missing their quota. Kinda. There are a lot of ways to die in Lethal Company. Surviving is the name of the game, and, though there are some ways to fight back, the ultimate method of survival is to run in, grab as much stuff as you can, and get out. However, the only true ‘Game Over’ for players is missing quotas. Falling below the profit margin for The Company will result in all progress being reset. Unless you were able to find a way to survive missing quota. An ingenious Lethal Company player discovered a way to do just that. Sort of. Lethal Company players “form a union” with well-placed ladders Though Lethal Company is a simple game on its surface, there’s complexity to be found in the ways players use tools like ladders and jetpacks in unique ways. And, though many a player has accidentally killed their friend using a ladder, many others have also used them to get across big gaps or reach previously inaccessible areas. But a few Lethal Company players were interested to see if they could use ladders to escape death entirely. After missing quota, they assembled a phalanx of ladders to protect them from the cold, dead grasp of outer space. And, to their surprise, it worked! In a TikTok originally posted by gamegloo, they proved it’s possible to survive. Even if you still get fired. Unfortunately, it seems that Lethal Company initiates a fail state regardless of whether the player actually exits the ship or not, “killing” the player regardless of if they stay in the ship. But, if it wasn’t for this fail state, they would have survived. With players already doing massive mod overhauls for the game and developer Zeekerss releasing a content update already, it’s hard to say what the future holds for Lethal Company and whether there’ll be a canon way to survive missing quota. For now, though, we’ll just have to live with the reality that it’s impossible to get past the quota without being fired and the game ending. Even if it’s technically possible to survive getting ejected into space.

Does Lethal Company have cheats? – Dexerto
Does Lethal Company have cheats? ZeekerssLethal Company is a co-op survival game that has taken over the world by storm. Here is a guide on whether you can use cheats or not in Lethal Company. Lethal Company has been a surprise in a year that has been as high profile as 2023 in terms of gaming. This concept of the game is very simple where you need to go to different moons and collect scraps to sell them to the Company. However, that will not be as easy since it is a horror game and you will have to formulate strategies and survive while collecting the scrap material. Therefore, certain players might be wondering if the game has cheats to make your task a little easier. Here is everything you need to know regarding cheats in Lethal Company. Can you use cheats in Lethal Company? No, you cannot use cheats in Lethal Company. The game does not have any built-in cheats, nor does it support a console mode where you can type anything. In short, if you want to play the game, you will have to do it the legit way without the help of any training wheels. This is kind of understandable since Lethal Company is a co-op game. If you use cheats, it will damage the experience of other players. Therefore, for the time being, you cannot use any unfair means to play the game. However, it is possible that in the future the game might add a few cheat commands, but as of now, there are no plans for that to happen. The only way you can use cheats is if you use third-party applications. There are mods that can alter certain aspects of the game, but those are not recommended as you might end up getting banned. Valve has a strict policy against cheats and you can get permanently banned from playing the game. This is all that we know about cheats in Lethal Company.

Lethal Company becomes one of Steam’s most popular games amid viral success – Dexerto
Lethal Company becomes one of Steam’s most popular games amid viral success Lethal CompanyLethal Company is an indie horror game that takes full advantage of the chaotic hilarity co-op multiplayer games can bring, and its quickly risen to over 100k concurrent players. Though rare, there are a select few indie multiplayer titles that have gameplay innovative enough to make them become viral hits. BattleBit Remastered and Among Us are great examples of indie games that have content creators and passionate players do the brunt of the marketing for them. And it seems that Lethal Company is the next multiplayer title to see widespread success after going viral on social media, with videos of players mishaps and shenanigans being spread all across Twitter and YouTube. It’s no surprise that over 100,000 players wanted to get in on the fun. The young developer took to Twitter and celebrated his achievement, and he’s looking forward to expanding upon Lethal Company’s incredibly successful formula. Lethal Company takes Steam charts by storm With over 97% of Lethal Company’s over 18,000 Steam reviews being positive, players clearly love what developer Zeekerss put together. It’s a deliberately simple horror game that finds complexity in the ways players interact with each other and the world around them, making for a game that creates unforgettable scenarios and interactions with friends. Players are tasked with exploring randomly generated levels to find enough scrap metal, junk, and knick-knacks to sell for their profit quota. Finding enough stuff to profit will keep the player alive, but coming in beneath that quota leads to death. The high-stakes dash for loot combined with unique in-game tools and a well-implemented proximity chat have created countless viral moments within the game despite it being less than a month old. Whether you’re in the action with your crewmates or observing from afar, Lethal Company maintains enough tension to be a genuinely scary horror experience while being light-hearted and comedic enough in presentation to be approachable for those who aren’t typically into horror. The game really hit critical mass after MoistCr1TiKaL (aka Charlie) played it with Wendigoon and a few other friends on stream. This stream and Charlie’s subsequent YouTube video highlighting some of their best moments helped carry this game to even further heights as more and more players hop in to experience the game for themselves. Dev Zeekerss was blown away by the immense support for the game. A week after the game’s launch, they were celebrating 1000 reviews. Now it’s at 18000 and counting with over 100K concurrent players. For reference, Apex Legends has a 24 hour peak of 438k at the time of writing, while Rainbow 6 Siege has a 24 hour peak of 78k. In less than a month, this small indie project has beaten out a long-standing live-service game and become one of Steam’s most popular games. At the time of writing, it’s ranked 12th out of all games on Steam for its 24 hour peak. While it still doesn’t hold a candle to Counter-Strike 2‘s immense player count, it’s impossible to deny Lethal Company’s meteoric rise from a relatively obscure indie title to one of the most played games on Steam.

Less than 1% of Netflix subscribers have engaged with its new video game section – Dexerto
Less than 1% of Netflix subscribers have engaged with its new video game section NetflixWhile Netflix has made a massive push in the last year to be more involved in the gaming scene, recent data reveals that not even 1% of Netflix users have taken the time to play through the video games on offer. Netflix has shown that they are committed to investing in the world of games. Many of their biggest shows, such as The Witcher and Arcane, are based on popular video game franchises. And while their TV adaptations of games have proven extremely successful, the actual video games Netflix have been developing is a very different story. As first reported by CNBC, via data from app analytics company Apptopia, Netflix’s games have been downloaded just over 23 million times. While these numbers sound impressive, one must keep in mind that Netflix has over 220 million subscribers. With the app tracker also estimating that these Netflix games average 1.7 million users daily, less than 1% of Netflix subscribers are actively engaging with this content. Netflix first began to hone in on its gaming content in November of 2021. During this time, the streaming service launched five original games, including multiple Stranger Things titles. Currently, Netflix subscribers have access to over 25 mobile games that they can download through the Netflix app on both Android and iOS. By the end of 2022, Netflix is aiming to have roughly 50 games distributed and ready for users to play through. However, Netflix is having issues across the board when it comes to its subscribers. So far in 2022, the platform has struggled to increase viewership and has instead seen a decline in subscriptions across the US and parts of the world. In Q2 of 2022, it was revealed that Netflix lost almost 1 million subscribers in three months. Recently, the #cancelnetflix hashtag was trending on Twitter following the platform’s decision to cancel their LGBTQ+ vampire show First Kill. With many viewers moving away from the streaming service and outwardly expressing their disappointment with cancellations, growing their game’s section will be an even tougher feat. For now, though, time will tell if Netflix will be able to grow its gaming influence or if users will continue to ignore this content.

Leon voice actor teases new project amid Resident Evil 4 Remake rumors – Dexerto
Leon voice actor teases new project amid Resident Evil 4 Remake rumors CapcomThe voice actor for Resident Evil’s Leon S. Kennedy is teasing a brand new project while rumors continue to swirl that a remake of RE4 is in production. Nick Apostolides, who did the motion capture and voice for Leon in the remake of Resident Evil 2, teased he was working on something new in a tweet posted on November 2. “Man does it feel good to get back to work!” he said along with a picture of himself on a set. “Safely had a blast with some crazy people on this one….can’t wait to share the project!” He further added hashtags that included “video games.” A good indication that the project is indeed gaming-related. Man does it feel good to get back to work! Safely had a blast with some crazy people on this one….can’t wait to share the project! #mocap #performancecapture #motioncapture #videogames #action #stunts pic.twitter.com/LTrrqU5073 — Nick Apostolides (@Nik_apostolides) November 2, 2020 Resident Evil 4 remake has been discussed for awhile with some evidence swirling earlier in 2020. Video Games Chronicle reported that the game entered “full production” and has an estimated release window of 2022. Furthermore, insider Dusk Golem claimed the remake has a larger development team than the series’ previous remakes, which means this is a large undertaking. Upon its original release back on the Nintendo Gamecube in 2005, Resident Evil 4 received critical acclaim with a 96/100 on Metacritic. Since then, it has been ported to many different consoles throughout the years, including PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The Capcom classic even made its way onto mobile phones. It is also considered to be one of the best video games of all time, which is why the reports suggest the development team is so massive. Of course, Apostolides could very well not be working on RE4 and this could be a completely different project entirely, but given the wording of the tweet, there is a chance whatever it is, could be revealed soon. It’s possible that a reveal may take place at The Game Awards in December, though we’ll have to wait and see exactly what the future holds.

LEGO Technic sets get up to $40 discounts at Walmart in huge sale – Dexerto
LEGO Technic sets get up to $40 discounts at Walmart in huge sale LEGOWalmart is continuing offering great savings on LEGO. We highlight the best deals Walmart is having on LEGO Technic. Walmart has not stopped offering LEGO enthusiasts with great savings this festive season. We have rounded up the best deals on LEGO Technic sets at Walmart. There is something for everyone, from LEGO Technic builders aged eight and up, to adults aged 18 and up. Each kit promises an immersive building and playing experience. They will also look great on display. In addition to the several currently available sets we’ve featured, there is one that has been retired. Fortunately, Walmart still has stock and has discounted its price, to boot. 1. LEGO Technic McLaren Formula 1 Race Car — 42141 This LEGO Technic kit was created in close collaboration between LEGO Technic designers and the design team of McLaren Racing. How close a collaboration, you ask? Well, very close. Indeed, the LEGO replica of McLaren’s 2022 Formula One race car was developed alongside the real-life version. How cool is that? Of course, although the LEGO Technic model features several authentic details reminiscent of the original, the latter does not incorporate LEGO pieces. Imagine that. Comprising of 1434 pieces, this set promises an immersive building experience for McLaren Racing supporters aged 18 and up. Like the real race car, the LEGO-reimagined replica is equipped with steering, suspension, and a differential if you were planning on taking this LEGO Technic set cornering. A LEGO version of the original’s V6 engine is also present. Although it doesn’t produce a high-pitched exhaust note (you will have to use your imagination for that), it does feature moving pistons. Dressed in McLaren Racing’s vibrant orange and blue livery, this kit measures five inches tall, 10.5 inches wide, and 25.5 inches long. With its eye-catching hues, this set is the perfect display piece for McLaren Racing supporters aged 18 and up. Walmart has reduced this set’s price by $40.00 to $159.99. So, before the 2024 Formula One season kicks off, why not grab this model now. Here’s hoping McLaren Racing will do better in the new year. Fingers crossed. 2. LEGO Technic Bugatti Bolide — 42151 The Bugatti Bolide is an engineering masterpiece. The LEGO-reimagined Bugatti Bolide comprises of 905 pieces, each of which clicks together to create a replica as true to the original as possible. This LEGO Technic set of the French hypercar manufacturer’s racer is finished in a yellow and black color scheme. Stickers are also included to add extra detailing to the model. The kit also features several neat functions. These include steering functionality, and, what’s more, scissor doors for when you want to get inside and drive. Minifigures aren’t included, though. However, what is arguably the best part of this set (and the real-life version, for that matter), is what is located behind the driver. Indeed, it is a working version of Bugatti’s legendary W16 engine. Designed for Bugatti buffs aged nine and up, the LEGO model measures three inches tall, five inches wide, and 12 inches long. Walmart has reduced this LEGO Technic kit’s price by $10.00 to $39.99. 3. LEGO Technic Material Handler — 42144 If you have a kid who wants to pursue a career in mechanics or engineering? Well, this set will make for the perfect Christmas gift if they are aged 10 and up. However, if you have already bought and wrapped this year’s presents, don’t let that stop you from grabbing this set for a future birthday. Walmart has reduced this LEGO Technic set’s price by $22.84 to $100. Comprising 835 pieces, the LEGO-reimagined Material Handler stands 12.5 inches tall, six-and-half inches wide, and 15.5 inches long. It features several neat functions. This makes it a set that not only provides an immersive building experience but also a fun-filled playing experience. Once the set is complete, you can model your own construction site. The kit features an upper arm that can rotate 360 degrees, an elevating operating cab, and a mobile undercarriage system with steering and a quartet of outriggers. 4. LEGO Technic Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica — 42161 If you love Lamborghini and LEGO Technic, this is the set for you. Finished in an eye-catching lime-green color scheme, this set will look great when displayed in your home or office (maybe next to your LEGO Technic Bugatti Bolide?). The LEGO-reimagined version of this Raging Bull supercar features several true-to-life details. The most notable of these is that you can assemble the original’s sonorous V10 engine (sound not included, though). It also features steering and opening doors. This 806-piece kit was designed for Lamborghini aficionados aged nine and up. It measures three inches tall, four-and-a-half inches wide, and 11 inches long. Walmart has reduced this set’s price by $10.00 to $39.99. 5. LEGO Technic Stunt Show Truck & Bike — 42106 Did you miss out on grabbing this now-retired set when it was still available? Don’t worry. Walmart has it, and is offering it at a reduced price. Time to get it? You bet. This action-packed set allows LEGO builders to both build and play. The kit includes a motorbike, pickup truck, a trailer, and, wait for it, a ring of fire. Indeed, this kit allows you to create stunt scenes that you can try at home. You have to be aged eight and up, though. What’s more, the motorbike features a pull-back function. However, that is not all this kit includes. When you want to change things up, you can take it apart and build a LEGO-reimagined Stadium Truck, which, like the bike, offers a pull-back function. Just don’t get it stuck under the couch. Walmart has discounted this set by $31.21 to $67.79. Each one of these sets will bring a smile to your face. They offer an immersive building and playing experience and will look great on display.

Don’t miss your chance to save a great chunk of change on what could be considered one of the best LEGO sets for adults who adore the character.

Venom features prominently in the new Marvel game alongside big bads such as Kraven, The Sandman, and The Lizard. The bust stands seven inches high with the mask coming with its own display stand built right in. It makes the Venom set a strong display piece once the building process is finished. Speaking of, it should take experienced builders around two hours to construct, but your mileage may vary. We think this construction kit is an awesome way to display the character in all his gooey glory just in time for Halloween! With that said, younger fans of Venom aren’t left entirely in the dark. That’s because today marks the lowest-ever price of the LEGO Marvel Venom Figure which is down to just $21.49 (was $25) for 14% off.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga voice cast – All voice actors and roles – Dexerto
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga voice cast – All voice actors and roles LEGO, 20th Century StudiosLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is already regarded as one of the best LEGO games ever, and one of the best Star Wars games. Many of the most famous characters are featured in-game, but are any of them voiced by the original cast? Star Wars is a name known around the world and, whether you like it or hate it, the cultural impact of George Lucas’ creation cannot be understated. LEGO has done a great job of inserting the franchise into its block-building world and, as we said in our review, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a “franchise-defining adventure.” The title takes all elements of the films and creates one superb package overall. Featuring many of the all-time great Star Wars characters, it begs the question, who are the voice actors and actresses in the game? Contents LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga characters – LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga voice actors and actresses – LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga characters Luke Skywalker: David Menkin – Anakin Skywalker: Matt Lanter – Rey Skywalker: Helen Sadler – Darth Vader: Fred Tatasciore – Han Solo: A.J. LoCascio – Yoda: Tom Kane – C-3PO: Anthony Daniels – General Leia Organa: Carolyn Hennesy – Obi-Wan Kenobi: James Arnold Taylor – Boba Fett: Daniel Logan – Kylo Ren: Matthew Wood – Finn: Arif S. Schien – Lando Calrissian: Billy Dee Williams – LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga voice actors and actresses Given that there are tons and tons of major characters in the Star Wars franchise, we’ll isolate a select few to give you the juicy reveal on the talent behind the voice. As a multi-faceted actor, Menkin has dabbled in various forms of media and gamers may recognize his talents as Dag in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Magnus in Final Fantasy XIV, and various other LEGO games. In a cool nod back to the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, the actor behind Anakin Skywalker has returned for The Skywalker Saga with Matt Lanter reprising the important role. The role of Rey Skywalker was covered by Helen Sadler whose voice has also been attached to other games such as Bugsnax, Black Ops Cold War, and Days Gone, as well as appearances in shows like NCIS. Fred has over 850 accredited roles in TV, Film, and video games and brought a wealth of experience to the role of Darth Vader in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Han Solo is one of the most noteworthy characters in the Star Wars universe and A.J. LoCascio fills the boost of Harrison Ford with the accomplished voice actor coming to the fore in the video game world with credit in Horizon Forbidden West and the upcoming God of War Ragnarok. Another veteran voice actor, Tom Kane is pretty much involved with every Star Wars TV series, film, and game! So it’s no surprise to see him gobble up the voice of the wise Yoda. One of the few legendary names to contribute to The Skywalker Saga is Anthony Daniels, stepping into the familiar shoes of C-3PO again. It’s some great fan service and will mean a lot to long-time Star Wars fans. General Leia Organa: Carolyn Hennesy Sadly, Carrier Fisher passed away a few years and we’ll never know if she would’ve contributed to this project, but nevertheless, her legacy is historic and Carolyn Hennesy, a notable TV and video game actress, stepped in admirably. Obi-Wan Kenobi: James Arnold Taylor Another character that springs to mind when you look at Star Wars holistically, Obi-Wan Kenobi is the ultimate father figure, and James Arnold Taylor takes on the opportunity in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. The actor has had a hand in lots of biog-name video games franchises like Final Fantasy and Ratchet & Clank. The masked figure of Boba Fett is played by Daniel Logan who is the obvious choice given that he played the role of Boba Fett in ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ TV series. According to our research, this is the debut video game role for Daniel too. The brooding presence of Adam Driver is swapped for Matthew Wood, a talented individual who’s split his time between being an Editor and voice-over artist. The actor has been in the film and game industry for 40 years accruing over 200 contributions to various media. One of the newer characters in the franchise Finn is presented here by Arif S.Schien and the actor has had a hand in The Last of Us Part II, Deathloop, Gears of War 4, and many other video game titles. Lando Calrissian: Billy Dee Williams Like Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams is one of the few actors who helped their original characters retain their true identity and voice. Despite being a notorious traitor in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Lando is still a beloved figure and it’s a nice touch to have him return here.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga preview – A modern take on a beloved classic – Dexerto
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga preview – A modern take on a beloved classic Warner Bros. Interactive EntertainmentLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga gives fans the chance to retread and re-experience some of LEGO’s most iconic moments in the original games and from the movies, all while expanding the scope of what players can do in a fresh, modern way. Since 2005, there have been a total of 6 LEGO Star Wars games – each chock full of their own characters to unlock, studs to find, and plenty of trademark slapstick humor. With The Skywalker Saga, everything is kicked up a notch, giving die-hard fans the chance to experience iconic movie moments from the trilogies alongside a sprawling galaxy map and sandbox levels of freedom like never before. At Dexerto, we had the opportunity to sit down and spend some time with the reimagined, opening chapters of Episode 4: A New Hope, and in short, we had an absolute blast (excuse the pun). “This is where the fun begins” Right from the outset, it’s clear that the team at TT Games have put so much care and attention into making this the definitive way to experience these games. In our gameplay preview, we found ourselves in familiar territory with the opening of Episode 4, both from the movie and original level, with Captain Antilles, Princess Leia, and her starship racing to deliver those secret, stolen plans. What’s unfamiliar, though, is how much of this chapter plays out. The starship’s interior has been rebuilt from the ground up, completely in LEGO blocks, to lend a more authentic, plasticky feel. Both cutscenes and gameplay itself have been revamped, too, creating a more highly cinematic experience than the slightly rough around the edges look of LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. Read More: Ghostwire Tokyo preview – Immediately apparent is the lack of a fixed camera – you’re now able to pan around with complete freedom to explore an environment. This gives the game a vastly different, less claustrophobic atmosphere – something that irked and frustrated me in previous games, preventing me from feeling fully immersed. The other clear change is the inclusion of voice acting. While voice acting has been a thing in LEGO games for a while now, I never really missed this in the earlier titles (they are supposed to be plastic Legos, after all). Their well-timed non-verbal retorts still were able to get a laugh out of me, but here, it turned out to be a welcome change that helped me to follow along with the narrative more closely. What’s more, the performances were both simultaneously funny and sincere, and it never felt as if the writing ever overstepped that boundary of compromising the story in favor of the franchise’s staple humor. Spoilt for choice LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga features over a whopping 300 characters to unlock and play as, from the Rancor (who causes NPCs to flee in fear as you approach them) to those with their own variations, like Old Ben Kenobi, and a total of 9 classes: Dark Side, Protocol Droid, Scavenger, Scoundrel, Bounty Hunter, Jedi, Hero, Villain, and Astromech – each of which has their own unique abilities and upgrades. As Hero classes, Leia and Antilles come equipped with a blaster and grapple gun to make their way around the environment. With an updated, third-person shooter camera angle when aiming, you can use the said blaster to aim at specific parts of an enemy, giving you the chance to take a Stormtrooper’s helmet clean off with a well-placed shot, opening them up to some cool combos. When fighting an enemy, you’re able to string together your attacks by using your selection of skills to fill up your combo meter, rewarding you with multiplier stacks of studs. Read More: Elden Ring review – As droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO have hacking abilities that can open doors or trigger specific events to affect gameplay. At one point, I hacked into a terminal to trigger an alarm with C-3PO (there was an option to trigger a turret, too, if that’s more your vibe), causing Stormtroopers to flee the scene and run a mile. Droids also have the handy advantage of being completely ignored by enemies unless you attack first, making them a great choice for those who want to take a stealthy approach. Puzzles are, as expected, a big focus – requiring you to manipulate the environment around you by using a character’s skills to progress, and while these can be completed alone, these will be equally as fun to do with friends. As you collect studs to work towards earning that True Jedi status and earn Kyber Bricks (the equivalent of a Gold Brick from prior titles), you’ll be given the opportunity to spend them on upgrading your character with things like faster sprinting, extra health, being able to see highlighted collectibles out in the open world, and more. A sprawling, free form sandbox One of my personal favorite features in a game is the freedom to truly explore the world in any order that I see fit, as well as being able to tackle tasks with multiple approaches and outcomes. During my time in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, I’m thrilled to say that I had all of this and then some. As you explore the game world, golden trails and markers will tell you exactly where you need to go to continue the story – but you’re never forced to do this until you want to. While some parts of the world may be blocked off until you can later return with a particular character’s ability, or if you’re in an instanced location (like Leia’s starship), for the most part, it feels as if you’re experiencing the Star Wars narrative while simultaneously existing in a sprawling sandbox world. What’s more, you’re also able to experience the Episodes in any order that you prefer. You can even take slightly different routes, too. At one point, I was given two separate choices in which object I wanted to build – a laser turret, or a water cannon – which lead to slight changes in how the gameplay unfolded. Even from the short amount of time we had with the game, upon reaching the escape pod (which doubles as a washing machine, complete with soapy Lego suds that spin C-3PO and R2D2 round and round in circles) to blast off down to Tatooine, from there, things were pretty open to us. While exploring the arid landscape, I was shocked at just how much there was to see and do. Kyber Bricks can also be earned by completing challenges, or by picking up quests and rumors via chatting to NPCs. If you want to head off the beaten path, you can do that too, with Minkits tucked away in secret areas just waiting to be uncovered. I spent a good chunk of time here just walking around and exploring – I even found two speeder bikes set out with a race marker to battle it out with a friend in co-op mode. Fancy giving your legs a rest? You can hop on a mount to travel around the hub world, too. There’s a lot of verticality in Tattooine, as you’re able to grapple up cliffs to reach new areas and vantage points or head down into secret, tucked-away caves. As expected with a LEGO game, there’s a whole lot of replayability, and during my time in Luke’s homeworld, I spotted plenty of items that’ll keep me coming back to try and figure out how to access them with different characters. The force is strong with this one My time with LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga absolutely flew by, and I was brought right back to those familiar feelings of joy that I had playing these games as a kid. I haven’t played a LEGO game in quite a few years, but this near-final build I experienced was smooth sailing and bug-free. I cannot wait to boot up the game when I just want to relax, explore, and take part in some epic Star Wars moments accompanied by the iconic sense of humor that these games have. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga releases on April 5, 2022.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga classes – All abilities & how to upgrade – Dexerto
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga classes – All abilities & how to upgrade Warner Bros. Interactive EntertainmentLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga shakes up gameplay by introducing a classes system, with Jedi, Dark Side, Scavenger, and others each having their own unique upgrades and abilities to unlock. Here’s everything you need to know about each class and its upgrades, along with what they all do. Classes in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga introduce a whole new RPG mechanic to the franchise, making each and every one of the over 300 unlockable characters feel unique in their own way. From the lightsaber-wielding Dark Side and Jedi through to Scavengers who can climb and glide their way across the Galaxy Maps’ hub worlds, here’s everything you need to know about each class’ unlockable upgrades in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Contents All classes in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga – LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga class upgrades & abilities – How to upgrade classes – All LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga classes In total, there are nine different classes in LEGO: Star Wars The Skywalker Saga, alongside a tenth miscellaneous ‘Extra’ category. Aside from this particular category, each class has its own unique abilities and methods to traverse the galaxy. The game’s nine classes are: Astromech Droid – Bounty Hunter – Dark Side – Hero – Jedi – Protocol Droid – Scavenger – Scoundrel – Villain – You’ll unlock characters within these classes simply by playing, by entering special cheat codes, or by purchasing them with studs – one of the in-game currencies. Read More: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga review – Below, we’ve listed each class’ unique abilities and the upgrades you’ll be able to unlock for them throughout gameplay. These can all be upgraded to a maximum of three times, too, increasing the overall effectiveness of each one by varying degrees. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga class upgrades & abilities Astromech Droid The Astromech Droid class in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga – characters like R2-D2 and R2-R9 – can interact with Astromech Sockets to hack into different devices to produce different outcomes. They also have what’s known as ‘Droid Stealth,’ allowing them to stroll by enemy characters without alerting them if they remain unprovoked. Bounty Hunter Bounty Hunter classes – characters like Boba Fett and Jango Fett – have the ability to accept Bounty Missions from NPCs throughout the world, alongside being able to rapidly fire their weapons. Read More: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga codes – This allows them to heat up and destroy gold objects, which can be found dotted throughout the world and contain those all-important Kyber Bricks. Dark Side Dark Side class characters such as Palpatine, Darth Maul, and Count Dooku, as expected, are Force wielders in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Alongside this, they possess the ability to influence and distract NPC characters, and can also opt to send them into a panic. Like Jedi characters, they can cut through and run up highlighted walls, while also being able to utilize Twirl Poles to swing across higher ground. Hero Hero characters (Padmé, Jar Jar, Admiral Holdo), come equipped with one of all of the classes’ most useful abilities: a grapple gun. This makes for a great tool to both traverse the world and launch into enemies for a deadly attack. One of their most useful abilities is being able to don disguises like Stormtrooper gear, which gives them access to the otherwise locked Villain Terminals. Jedi Identical to Dark Side Force users, characters such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Barriss Offee, and Yarael Poof have access to Mind Tricks to influence, distract and panic NPCs. They’re also able to cut through certain walls with their lightsabers, run up scratch-marked walls and showcase their acrobatic skills by swinging on (and leaping from) Twirl Poles. Protocol Droid The Protocol Droids (C-3PO, TC-14) class in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga can control specific terminals, allowing them to quell alarms, control other Droids, and even turrets. They can also disassemble themselves at will to fit into small crevices to uncover what’s inside, while also possessing Droid Stealth to avoid enemy suspicion. Their language translation skills make them a perfect addition to your party to understand the Galaxy’s alien languages. Scavenger The Scavenger class (characters like Rey, Kuiil, and Wicket) has access to a whole array of unique abilities that can help them traverse the world. From using Breaker Blasters to topple specific objects, using a Net Launcher to aid them to climb otherwise untraversable walls, and a Glider to fly through the air across great distances, they come in incredibly handy for those who want to collect everything the galaxy has to offer. What’s more, they’re also able to wall run and use Twirl Poles! Scoundrel Scoundrels such as Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian can utilize their environment to identify weak points in a scene, allowing you to destroy it to access new areas or progress on a level. Similar to Bounty Hunters, they can also pick up Smuggling Run Missions where you’ll need to transport precious cargo through hyperspace. While on these, you’ll be open to ambushes from those looking to take your loot – so make sure to keep your eyes peeled to the galaxy around you. Villain The Villain class (characters like General Grievous, Tarkin, and the Emperor’s Royal Guard) has access to their own specific Terminals in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, which can be used to access the likes of doors to access new areas. They’re also able to use grenades alongside Villain-specific weapon crates that contain weapons like rocket launchers to help push back the opposition from a distance. How to upgrade class abilities in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Upgrading a class’ particular ability is pretty easy to do, and typically requires you to part with some of your hard-earned Studs and Kyber Bricks. To purchase an ability or upgrade an existing one, simply follow these steps. Open the Holoprojector menu by pressing the touchpad on console (or the equivalent on PC) – Scroll across to the fourth tab with the star-shaped icon that has an arrow inside of it. – On the left-hand side, you’ll see each particular class listed below the ‘Core’ abilities. – Navigate to which class you want to upgrade, and you’ll see four different abilities. Simply interact with which one you want – and that’s it! – After upgrading the ability once, you’ll also be able to see what bonuses you’ll receive by increasing its level again. – So, there you have it – that’s everything you need to know about classes in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and all of their available upgrades.

LEGO Star Wars player goes viral on TikTok with rage-inducing level bug – Dexerto
LEGO Star Wars player goes viral on TikTok with rage-inducing level bug LEGOLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a user-friendly adventure game, but one that hasn’t quite agreed with one player as a viral TikTok revealed a game-breaking glitch leading to a never-ending level. The Star Wars franchise has been at the heart of LEGO games for many years now and the trend has continued with LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. This time, we have a full LEGO-reimagined experience based on all nine mainline films, one that we thought very highly high of in our review. It’s got a great cast and has been a big hit, particularly with streamers and influencers. Not everyone has had the smoothest time with the game, though, as one TikTok user ran into an unfortunate bug in The Skywalker Saga, leading to the player having a complete meltdown over it. Viral TikTok video shows player’s dark side TikTok user thesaintglizzy has amassed a following of nearly 1,000 followers on the social platform and regularly posts video game content, most recently Elden Ring and LEGO Star Wars. But it’s one of their most recent TikToks that blew up and it seems that users of the social media site have been engrossed by thesaintglizzy’s Star Wars situation. During one of the game’s missions, the player is riding through the forests of Endor in Star Wars Episode VI: The Return of the Empire, and the objective asks you to “Defeat the attacking Scout Troopers!” Only, when the TikTok player wanted to do so, the game wouldn’t let him. “Whoever designed this sh**y f**king level needs to fix it, dude,” they explained. “I’ve been stuck on the same f**king point for hours bro and no matter how many times I restart it, every time it gets to defeat the attacking scout troopers.” The player then mumbled something indecipherable due to them completely losing it, before eventually summarizing: “I don’t know what to do bro, I’ve got 800 million studs and there are no Scout Troopers!” Their pain is tangible and completely understandable and relatable as we’ve probably all had something similar happen before. This evidence is supported by the fact the TikTok has over 7.1 million views on TikTok and counting!

LEGO Star Wars fans recreate entire Star Wars galactic senate in 500,000 pieces – Dexerto
LEGO Star Wars fans recreate entire Star Wars galactic senate in 500,000 pieces A group of LEGO Star Wars fans aim to scratch that political science-fantasy itch of yours by recreating the galactic senate on a massive scale; you may need an entire galaxy to store it. Some would say the political scenes of the senate in the Star Wars saga are the most tedious parts of the films and only harm them with its inclusion. Others say they add a lot of world-building and context to the universe of Star Wars. LEGO faithfully recreate the adventurous scenes of Star Wars with countless LEGO Star Wars sets, including the iconic vehicles of the franchise. So, is there an audience for the political scenes of Star Wars to enter the LEGO Star Wars arena? LEGO YouTuber Brickstory Builds displays which side of the argument they’re on with a massive custom build of the entire galactic senate out of LEGO. From Emperor Palpatine and Yoda battling it out, to the tiny E.T. easter egg from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. This group of fans has outdone themselves with an accurate recreation of the galactic senate in true LEGO Star Wars form. Commenters give massive praise to Brickstory Builds but also find the humor in the build by saying they could’ve saved time by using a minifigure of Emperor Palpatine. After all, he is the senate. The Star Wars Clone Wars and Bad Batch series contain episodes that bring more excitement to the political landscape of the senate, which could translate into interesting LEGO Star Wars sets, but for now, it’s safe to think we’ll be okay with the existing LEGO Star Wars sets we have. Speaking of LEGO Star Wars, many Black Friday LEGO deals have kicked off just in time for the holiday season.

LEGO reveals new Super Mario Nabbit at Toad’s Shop Expansion set – Dexerto
LEGO reveals new Super Mario Nabbit at Toad’s Shop Expansion set LEGOPre-orders are now available for the LEGO Super Mario Nabbit at Toad’s Shop Expansion set. LEGO has unveiled the latest expansion kit for its popular LEGO Super Mario line which is called Nabbit at Toad’s Shop and includes the titular Nabbit and Toad as they congregate at an iconic location from the classic Nintendo video games. Pre-orders for the new LEGO Super Mario Nabbit at Toad’s Shop Expansion set are now available with the kit retailing for $19.99 with a release date of December 1, 2024. Those in the UK will need to wait until January 1, 2024, with the set scheduled to sell for £17.99. Whether this set can be considered one of the best LEGO sets for kids or one of the best LEGO gaming sets remains to be seen. The expansion set itself is one of the smaller models available in the LEGO Super Mario line at 230 pieces with chunky characters and an easy-to-build layout. It’s rated for ages seven plus and up, so it shouldn’t be too taxing for the youngsters in your life. Both Nabbit and Toad are playable characters in Super Mario Bros. Wonder for Nintendo Switch, too. With that said, LEGO and Nintendo aren’t exactly skimping on the details. That’s because there is also the inclusion of an ice cream dispenser and a furnace as well as a shopping cart with many items to buy. Now, whether or not Nabbit has rolled up to his establishment with the intent to pay with his legally acquired gold coins isn’t exactly confirmed, but your kids can be the judge of how this transaction goes down. Toad has had shops in several Super Mario games over the years with recent examples including appearances in the Mario Party and Paper Mario series. It’s a concept that has built upon the foundations of Toad Houses which originated in the Super Mario Bros. trilogy, where Mario could get power-ups in a game of chance.

LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog Knuckles & Rouge set leaks online – Dexerto
LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog Knuckles & Rouge set leaks online It looks like Knuckles is tired of Rouge’s shenanigans in a leak that teases a future LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog set. LEGO loves its video game collaborations, from Super Mario to Animal Crossing to the upcoming Fortnite in-game event. Even Sonic the Hedgehog is included in the action, with multiple sets released in his own LEGO line. With that said, two fan-favorite characters could be entering the fray. Potential new LEGO Sonic set leaks Twitter/X page ‘Sonic Merch News‘ claims to have found a new LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog set known as ‘Knuckles Mech Battle Set’ inside the instruction manual of the upcoming LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog Shadow’s Escape set. A closer look at the image reveals several things: Knuckles the Echidna piloting a giant red mech trying to defend the Master Emerald, with Rouge the Bat flying in on a glider trying to steal said emerald. We don’t remember Knuckles piloting a mech; maybe that’s from the Sonic Archie comics when stuff got weird sometimes. Although Rouge stealing the Master Emerald? That reminds us of the start of one of the best Sonic the Hedgehog games: Sonic Adventure 2. It’s not unreasonable to think that future LEGO Sonic sets will all be aligned with Sonic Adventure 2 since the majority of LEGO Sonic sets so far are associated with the ‘Classic’ era of Sonic the Hedgehog. Maybe this new wave will embrace the ‘Modern’ Sonic era, starting with what is called the best game in the entire franchise, which is a safe bet. Only time will tell, so all Sonic fans must wait with bated breath. For now, check out our choices for the best LEGO sets for young fans as well as our picks for the best adult LEGO sets from 2023.

This period of history lasted between 2686 to 2181 BCE. The pyramid itself stands at 481ft (147m) and is made of approximately 2.3 million stone bricks. For reference, they were constructed over a thousand years before the rule of King Tutankhamun who is arguably the most recognizable ancient Egyptian figure.
