A good place to put your Petal Platform when defending a room is by the entrance so that an enemy could step on it and be pushed up towards the ceiling, discombobulating them and giving you a few moments to run away or reposit
The Magneto to our Zenyatta, our evil Omnic with his multiple forms can excel a lot with good teamwork around him. Despite being a tank, his survivability isn’t as good compared to others, so any pocket healer will already change things a lot for him. Mercy or Ana helping him makes a big change. Ana, in particular, can also turn Ramattra into a true menace by Nano boosting him during his ultimate, making sure no one survives. With a Lúcio to speed him up as well, Ramattra might just get rid of every
Obsidian is just showing off now. Pentiment is like nothing the studio has done before, but it shows how effortlessly its writing can fit other genres, diving into the culture and society of a small medieval town with grace, and far more depth than any of us expected. It’s a true testament to Obsidian’s writing that some of the tensest moments this year came from Pentiment, as I discussed the ideas of Martin Luther in the company of monks. Even without any voiced dialogue, you can feel the hatred and fear in the air. Better yet, even with a somewhat linear premise, every playthrough feels unique, as you soak up the world of Pentiment in the way that you want
You can get away with not reloading for some time if you switch between your two basic weapons. Use them for a few seconds, switch to the other, and do the same. When you switch back you will have automatically reloaded. This means that you have a lot of uptime and can stay in the action for a long time before having to back out. Keep this in mind and aim to stay in the fight as long as you can, giving as much assistance as possi
Metal: Hellsinger combined two genres and executes them both with ease, being among the greats in both categories. Throughout your short jaunt through hell, you follow the titular Hellsinger and her Troy Baker-voiced companion, blasting your way through levels that look straight out of Doom. Unlike Doom, however, there’s nothing more important than keeping the beat, which is complemented by one of the best soundtracks we’ve heard in a game this year. There may not be too much beneath the surface with Metal: Hellsinger, but it’s a treat to see every aspect of a video game working in perfect synergy like t
I’ll save you the time, there’s no Elden Ring here. I’m one of the few freaks who never got around to playing it this year, mainly because I was too busy catching up on all the games I was meant to play in 2021. I’m pretty surprised I even played enough games to participate this year, and they still let me make a list! I love my
Upon release, many noted a distinct change of pace in the game, but some still preferred the original. The debate surrounding the necessity of a new title continues to rage on, but the existing characters, and favorites who debuted in Overwatch 2, like Kiriko, are keeping us engaged. despite the divisive new Battle Pass and monetization opti
While he has a devastating 200hp-combo and a solid defense, he’s not as deadly when the abilities are in cooldown nor is he mobile. Anything that speeds him up will be beneficial for starters. He’s also better at protecting, unlike most tanks, since he’s one of the few characters who still have a shield. That allows more fragile characters to tag along with him, though he still needs to get in close to the combat due to his ra
The turrets are easy to kill, so that is the one positive for you if you are against a Symmetra. Unfortunately, when in the heat of battle, it can be hard to look for them if you do not immediately see where they are at. That ticking of damage on top of enemies coming at you can lead to failure and a match that makes you want to be done for the
Junkrat is a popular hero that lays waste to your enemies. Attacking enemies from a distance, he excels at setting deadly traps, disrupting your enemies’ strategies. We like using the crosshairs reticle with a color that adds a visual
Funny enough, snipers will have a good time with your flanking as well. Piledriver (the slam attack) sends all enemies into the air in a rather predictable pattern. That makes headshots quite easy to perform. Hanzo, Widowmaker, and Ashe can use that a lot in their fa
Sonic, my sweet, misunderstood, bullied blue baby. You did it. You did a video game. And by God, Frontiers is the most video game-y video game in existence. You run around an invisible walled map to collect items, then collect more items to unlock minigames that help you collect the items you actually need. There are also some other items that can make getting the main item a bit easier. There’s no arrogance in Sonic Frontiers, just an understanding that Sonic running fast should be fun. It’s a bold first step into something new for the series, reference while still feeling uniquely ‘Sonic’ in a way other open worlds can’t man
