Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is an open-world action RPG heavily inspired by games from The Elder Scrolls franchise, especially Skyrim and Oblivion. It emulates these games not only in scope, but in depth as well, making for a lengthy adventure across a vast landscape that takes 50-70 hours to complete. #beginner #tips #tainted #grail #fall

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine is one of the more unusual titles in Relic Entertainment's portfolio. Released on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC in 2011, the game was a third-person hack-and-slash shooter that was set in the titular Warhammer 40K universe. Up until then, Relic had almost exclusively worked on real-time strategy games, so most people probably did not expect the company to make a game in such a drastically different genre. Warhammer 40K: Space Marine was heavily inspired by the Gears of War series, and although it didn't do much to stand out among all the other gritty, third-person shooters of its era, it was still a more-than-competent action title. #warhammer #40k #space #marine #remaster

The acclaim of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and the backstory behind its development seem to parallel Hollow Knight, demonstrating the raw potential smaller-scale independent games continue to have within the industry. While the stories and worlds of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33and Hollow Knight might be far removed from one another, these debut games from their respective indie developers represent two sides of a coin that AAA studios seem to miss the mark on. With most RPGs focusing on action as of late, the likes of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's turn-based combat and Hollow Knight's blend of Soulsborne and Metroidvania genres offer like-minded, refreshing alternatives. #hollow #knight #clair #obscur #are

In the past decade, survival games have really developed, moving from basic indie games to impressive, realistic-looking products. Today, the genre boasts titles that not only challenge players' endurance, but also captivate them with breathtaking visuals. No matter the setting — destroyed wasteland or foreign underwater planet — the game environments are so detailed and convincing that it’s hard to tell if they were designed based on actual place, or just an imaginative creation. Survival games are getting better with each new release, and many of them impress with their graphics. As technology improves and more attention is given to the atmosphere, the future of survival games looks promising. #best #looking #survival #games #ranked

With many Switch games lined up to receive new enhanced or even expanded versions as Nintendo transitions to its Switch 2 console, a Switch 2 Edition for Animal Crossing: New Horizons could be a huge hit if it adds a simple yet significant feature.

But while a Switch 2 Edition hasn't been confirmed by Nintendo just yet, Animal Crossing: New Horizonscould benefit from an upgrade by introducing one key feature. #animal #crossing #new #horizons #switch

With the recent Warframe 1999: Techrot Encore update, several new adversary weapons were added to the game. Similar to their Tenet and Kuva counterparts, the Coda weapons require a player to obtain an adversary, this time a Technocyte Coda.

Once slain, the Technocyte Coda will give the player Live Heart Cells, which can then be traded with Eleanor for the Coda weapons. #best #coda #weapons #warframe

Last year, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door's remake on the Switch brought a beloved title from the Gamecube era to the current generation. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door has had a strong reputation since its release as one of the best Paper Mario games, if not the best. However, since so much time had passed, a lot of newer fans hadn't had the chance to experience it for themselves. The Switch port made the game widely available once more for players, and what's more, it definitively proved that The Thousand-Year Door deserves its sterling reputation. #one #year #ago #paper #mario

First impressions can go a long way, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 makes sure that they count, leaning into the type of poignancy and gravitas that comes with the dark world its characters inhabit. Hinging on the tragedy of its people's circumstances, Clair Obscur's character introductions are a lens not just into the universal experience of living under the Paintress, but how they each respond differently to it. From its prologue alone, the level of depth that goes into its side characters shows how their respective attitudes might clash, or how they bond together in the face of the Gommage, endearing players to their individual struggles that make the death of the Continent that much more devastating. #other #games #can #learn #one

There are several strategies in Pokemon TCG Pocket that may be part of a deck or even its core, and while several of these have been in a good spot for quite some time or made viable more recently, others have never taken off. Some strategies even disappeared entirely, such as with 18-Trainer decks being countered by Oricorio due to its Safeguard ability. Celestial Guardians finally made Stage 2 cards more consistent and powerful thanks to the new Rare Candy card, which allows a basic Pokemon to fully evolve as soon as turn two. Pokemon TCG Pocket's new Extradimensional Crisis set was just revealed, and it will focus on Ultra Beasts and other Gen 7 critters, with one card possibly giving one strategy the edge it needs. #pokemon #tcg #pocket #extradimensional #crisis
