SinceOverwatchlaunched in 2016, I don’t think a season has passed without complaints from fans. We like to look back on the past with rose-tinted shades and hate whatever is put in front of us at any given moment. That being said, it definitely seems that the unanimous backlash this past week is warranted, because the fifth season ofOverwatch 2has been a disaster. Divisive character balancing, frustrating new abilities, and of course, the news that thelong-awaited story missionswill cost $15 to access have made this a pretty rough week for the Overwatch community....

Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag is apparently next on the conveyor belt for a remakeatUbisoft. You know, the game that first released in 2013 as a launch title forPS4andXbox One. While it also came to last-gen systems, marketing was focused on how it took advantage of both new consoles and showcasing where the series could go moving forward. Sailing the Seven Seas as Edward Kenway and his motley crew of pirates was a delight....

The Walking Dead was, retroactively the first Universes Beyond set of cards inMagic: The Gathering. These cards are separate from Magic: The Gathering lore, and are instead cards based on other franchises such as Lord Of The Rings, Doctor Who, or, in this case, AMC’s The Walking Dead show. RELATED:Magic The Gathering’s Secret Lair X Street Fighter Cards, Ranked The Walking Dead set of cards was originally released as a part of a timed-exclusive Secret Lair, and remained the only way to get them until Wilds Of Eldraine almost three years later, where they were reprinted with in-universe Magic characters in Magic settings....

RELATED:Street Fighter 6: Things Only Fans Of The Series Noticed While training with all the Masters to learn their moves is crucial, many Items can offer permanent or temporary buffs, strengthen your Master’s bond, or replenish your HP during battle, preventing you from falling to a formidable foe and living with the shame that follows....

In a game full of stunning moments, Link’s airborne pursuits are easily one ofTears of the Kingdom’smost irresistible thrills. Seamlessly plummeting from the lofty heights of Hyrule’s sky islands back to earth and beyond into the Depths is an intoxicating display of sheer aerial panache. It’s an enthralling recreation of heading to ground at a blistering 300mph. It’s an experience as terrifying as it is awe-inspiring. After finding a Skyview Tower and enjoying another spectacular descent from the clouds, I wanted to ask some experienced skydivers how Nintendo’s latest compares to the real thing....

Sonic Superstarslooks like a love letter to the classic 2D games in the series, reimagined with 3D character models. Much like these older games it will have local multiplayer, something that most modern titles skip altogether. However, as much as this is appreciated, it seems that this feature won’t go much further than that, as Superstars won’t launch with online multiplayer. Now, a project lead has explained why this is the case, arguing thatSonicis just too fast for online play to keep up....

The officialSonic Superstarswebsite seems to have confirmed that Superstars' cooperative multiplayer will be local-only and that the game won’t feature online multiplayer functionality. One of the big reveals at Summer Game Fest last night was Sonic Superstars,a new 2D title that features a new aesthetic for the seriesand evenbrings back some fan-favourite characters like Fang the Sniper. Excitingly, it also features cooperative play for up to four players, which is a first for the series - unfortunately, it seems like co-op is going to be limited to local play only....

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhemlooks great. Thenew trailerdropped earlier this week, and of all the IP-driven movies heading to theaters this summer, it’s by far the one that I’m most excited to see. We get a new superhero movie just about every month, but the last TMNT movie hit theaters all the way back in 2016. While we constantly get updates on popular characters likeSpider-ManandBatman, the Turtles have only had one movie iteration per decade since the ’90s....

Street Fighter 6is another big hit fromCapcom, continuing the publisher’s streak of great games released over the past few years. Critics have already named SF6 as one of the strongest releases of 2023, and now it’s time for players to enjoy the game. So far, many are doing so, as evidenced by the impressive player numbers on PC. Shortly after Street Fighter 6 launched onSteam, the game unsurprisingly attracted significantly more players than any other game in the series, including Street Fighter 5....

As people dig throughStreet Fighter: Duelmore and more, the importance of tank-class characters has become quite clear. Considering many characters are capable of instantly KOing another fighter, it’s important to have a solid tank set up on most teams if you want to make it past the opening seconds. Related:The Most Downloaded Mobile Games The game may not have a huge roster of tanks, but pretty much all of them can see some use for you depending on where you are in the game....

People arecrucifying Koroks. The poor little leaf waifs who are strewn across Hyrule’s map, so often stranded helpless and rendered immobile by enormous backpacks filled with goodness-knows-what, are being crucified byTears of the Kingdomplayers who are eager to test the limits of the game’s new building ability,Ultrahand. The crucifixions are the most brutal display of creativity I’ve seen (like, ever seen, not just like, seen in a Zelda game), but there’s plenty more NSFW creations where they came from....

Valkyrie Profile: Lennethfeatures a whopping 25 different characters, and with one of your main goals in the game being to send the most pious and honorable of these up to assist in the war against Loki, knowing which characters to hang onto and which would be better off serving Odin can be a weighty task. After all, you want to fulfill your quest to send Einherjar to Asgard, but you don’t want to make boss battles in Midgard harder by losing your best warriors....

Quick Links It might be satisfying when you pull a desirable five-star character inGenshin Impact, but the real struggle starts there since you have to get the perfect weapon and artifacts for that character. The game is over two years old and has plenty of choices for both of these gear types.

Players were introduced to him during the early stages of the game but he wasn’t released as a playable character until Version 3....
