Fortunately, making a strong build for the Kar98k is rather straightforward. Throw on your favorite optic, equip some ADS attachments, and you have the ultimate long-range weapon....

It’s one thing for agame to feature multiple protagonists, but a story can potentially get even more intimate and tightly-told when only two are involved. It’s like the difference between a party and a date. Both fun in different ways, at least unless you’re an introvert, and it’s not like many gamers are introverts, right? This isn’t about those games that let you choose one hero while the other ceases to exist or even takes on a different role in the story....

Summary Dragon Agefans vote for the Hero of Ferelden as the best protagonist in the series. TheDragon Age: Originsplayer character has a comfortable lead over the other two protags, securing around 2,000 more points than the Champion of Kirkwall, who is in second place. This leaves the Inquisitor fromDragon Age: Inquisitionin last place, with less than half of the votes of the Hero of Ferelden. This suggests that, even with the game being more dated than the other entries, fans still love how Dragon Age: Origins handled its protagonist, giving players detailed backstories depending on race and class....

Unicorn Overlordis something of an anomaly. Mashing up an SRPG with RTS elements isn’t the most natural concept, but something about Vanillaware’s love letter to ‘90s classics hits home in a wonderful way. I spoke with veteran producer Akiyasu Yamamoto, to gain some key insights into the development process and the future of Unicorn Overlord.
