Some call me a Warrior of Light. Some call me a renegade. Some call me when Chaos rears its corrupted head. But you can call me Garland. Jack Garland. I’m the one they call when there’s nobody else. Jack Garland? Didn’t we just kill you in Final Fantasy I? And… weren’t you Chaos? I honestly hadn’t heard of this game until Squenix sent me an e-mail talking about the demo. This happens again and again. Cool games that everyone (but me) has heard of, I come to it eons too late, way after it would have made sense. ...

I’m not one to jump on bandwagons, but with approximately 150% of the people I follow on Twitter jumping into the New World, I really just had to find out what all the fuss was about. Character Creation I was very much impressed with New World’s character creation. While the look of your character doesn’t have the fine tuning one has come to expect from triple-A titles, the large number of classes (called “Backgrounds” in New World) available is fairly impressive. Combined with the significant number of “Starsigns” that grant additional abilities or boost those of your class, there’s 108 different background/starsign combinations available. You will likely never meet someone with an identical build to your own. ...

Valheim’s first content expansion brings a little adventure together with a lot of new things to make and build. Is it going to be enough to bring the magic back? It’s not hard to tame a lox – the large, yak-like creatures that congregate in the Valheim plains biomes. All you really need is a few stacks of barley or cloudberries, and a place to hide nearby while they eat and gradually come to love you. This also works for wolves (who enjoy meat) and boars (who love mushrooms and berries). ...

I didn’t know what to expect when I logged into EverQuest Online Adventures for the first time. When a dark elf cleric named Skandalf started following me around, healing me when I fought anything, I thought she was a bot. But now, I’m not so sure. **Update: **Apparently Skandalf was the name of a mage pet in the live version of EQOA, sort of like any EQ player would know who you were talking about if you mentioned “Jabober”. How I got a healing mage pet for awhile is something I don’t know. Thanks to the folks on the EQOA Revival Discord for setting me straight :-) ...

Persona 5, Persona 5 Royal, Persona 5 Dancing in Starlight, and now Persona 5 Strikers. The Persona 5 legacy lives on in this new, action-oriented chapter in the story of Joker & Friends as they seek to save the innocent people of Shibuya, once again. Futaba warns us about Shadows I have not yet finished Persona 5 Strikers, so this is more of a quick look than a full review. ...

Needle drop some , and you could pretend this post-apocalyptic arcade shooter is the iconic Taarna segment from the Heavy Metal movie. It’s all the otherworldly rails shooter action you could want in a game. Panzer Dragoon Remake cases, PS4 and Sega Saturn A long, long time ago, there was a little game called Starfox, for the Super Nintendo. It was a rails-based shooter that took Star Fox, Fox McCloud and his three friends, Slippy Toad, Peppy Hare, and Falco Lombardi, on an adventure that stretched from the land into space. ...
