Quick Links It’s a common problem, right? You’re playingFinal Fantasy 14, completing dungeons and trials and gods know what else, and suddenly you find yourself receiving that annoying little message that tells you you’ve reached your Allagan Tomestones of Poetics cap. 2,000 isn’t very many tomestones, and you can cap it very quickly.

As much fun as it is to pick on Sonic fans, the truth is, I’m just as cringe as the rest of you. Case in point: I’ve already fully embracedThe Year of Shadow, and it hasn’t even officially begun. I loved watching Shadow run circles around Sonic in the final season of Sonic Prime earlier this year, saving his life not once, not twice, but three times. The only thing that made me happier than that was scarfing downShadow’s Chaos Chocolate Pancakesat the only IHOP-based press event I’ve ever been invited to....

Summary Elden Ringwas one of the most acclaimed games of 2022, lauded by many as FromSoftware’s greatest work yet. With that kind of success and a good two years since the game’s initial release, the pressure to create a powerful and engaging experience is unfathomably high, something that’s only been stoked further by some enticing trailers. It’s one thing to talk a big game and another to deliver, though. Will the DLC actually live up to the hype?...

Summary I’m a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to board games. I rolled my eyes whenthe new Cluedo cast was revealed, only to be horrified that I was suddenly aligned with people who hated them because of woke, not just an aversion to corporate modernisation to appeal to algorithmically defined demographics. I spit on theMonopolyeditions that come with credit card readers instead of cold, hard cash. But there’s one more modern aspect of board game design that I just cannot resist - a neat little app....

Games Workshop is drip-feeding us information about the new edition ofAge of Sigmar. But instead of treating us to beautiful 360s of the new Skaven models like we all want, we’re getting boring rules updates instead.

However, the latest update fromWarhammer Communitymade me sit up in my gaming chair and start listening....

Summary Avowedcan be played in third-person, not just first-person. This was just confirmed byObsidiantoday afterprevious gameplay footageonly showed first-person combat. But now, we’re being told that this is just one of the options, and you’ll be able to play the whole game in third-person if you want to. This is an improvement from Obsidian’s previous open-world RPG,The Outer Worlds, which locked players into first-person for the entire game. Frustratingly, this meant you didn’t get many opportunities to actually see the character you’d spent so much time creating at the start of the game, an issue that will be avoided in Avowed....

Summary Multiplayer modes in games are often a fun opportunity outside the main story to put your skills to the test. Rather than placing a focus on narrative, they award those looking to show off their mastery over the game’s mechanics while also offering an opportunity to get friends together to play as a unit. In most games, these side modes are just that. Fun additions to the main game that have no bearing on the overall plot....
