Game Rant recently had a chat with game director Nathan Lemaire, franchise director Tymon Smektala, and executive producer Bruno Guerin to talk about how Dying Light: The Beast takes the gameplay of the franchise to new heights through its updates. (For the sake of clarity and conciseness, this interview has been edited.)
Indeed, the most captivating females in romantic anime series are not merely attractive; they offer more than just being sidekicks for the male protagonist. Instead, these characters play pivotal roles in the narrative, navigating the peaks and troughs of romance. Let’s delve deeper into the remarkable ladies from romance anime, ranging from timid and secluded personalities to confident and vocal heroines. This compilation excludes characters from genres other than romance.
In this rephrased version, I used “captivating females” instead of “the best girls,” “remarkable ladies” as a substitute for “best girls,” and “sidekicks for the male protagonist” in place of “female characters who exist to hold hands with the male lead.” Additionally, I chose “delve deeper” rather than “take a closer look” and replaced “only include” with “excludes” for a more natural flow.
In a recent chat with Game Rant, Tymon Smektala, director of the Dying Light franchise, and Nathan Lemaire, game director, discussed the unique nighttime experience in the series, and how Dying Light: The Beast will maintain excitement for both newcomers and veterans of the game. They hinted that while the fundamental rules and mechanics remain the same, Dying Light: The Beast introduces some unexpected elements to amplify the already nerve-wracking nighttime gameplay.
Over the past few years, it seems that the boundaries between gaming consoles have started to blur. While we’re not completely there yet, both Microsoft and Sony have shown a more flexible approach towards cross-platform games. Starting August 26, “Helldivers 2” will be available on Xbox Series X/S, and “Gears of War: Reloaded” will debut on PlayStation 5. It’s worth noting that even just a few years ago, the notion of a “Gears of War” game on PlayStation would have been unimaginable, but now it’s becoming a reality, hinting at the evolving landscape of console exclusives. Don’t forget that “Age of Empires 4” is also published by Xbox Game Studios.
As a gamer diving headfirst into the world of FBC: Firebreak, I must admit that the game had an impressive takeoff upon its release. In less than a week, it managed to gather over a million players across all platforms, which could be attributed to its budget-friendly price and early availability on Xbox Game Pass.
However, as days turned into weeks, the landscape started to change. The game received a mixed bag of reviews from critics and players alike, causing quite a bit of disappointment among many of us. As for me, I’ve noticed a steady decline in the player count, particularly on PC. It’s a bummer, but here’s hoping that the developers can turn things around soon.
At the Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 event, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight was officially unveiled as the upcoming LEGO title from TT Games. This game combines many of Batman’s most memorable moments in pop culture, spanning from The Dark Knight and Batman, to create the definitive origin story. For all Batman enthusiasts, this dream come true may just get even better if the rumors are indeed true.
2025 has been rather lean when it comes to horror games that fans can really sink their teeth into. Scanning through this year’s top-rated new game releases, only a few fit the horror category, and while some quality indie horror titles have emerged, big-budget offerings are scarce. All things taken together, 2025 hasn’t been the genre’s most robust year, but that’s set to change very soon.
The Flower Dance festival in Stardew Valley is particularly cherished by fans. It’s a heartfelt, personal event often leading to romantic encounters, and it’s something many players eagerly anticipate. During this event, you can dance with someone you’ve formed a strong bond with. Although it’s a beautiful and romantic experience, it can also be quite exclusive as most players may not get the chance to dance with their preferred NPC due to early game constraints. To achieve success in the festival during the early stages, a strategic approach combining farm management and gift selection is crucial for being the star of the event.
Game Rant had an interview with game director Nathan Lemaire and franchise director Tymon Smektała, who discussed their efforts to perfect the parkour system for the upcoming expansion, Dying Light: The Beast. They shared details about their design strategy and how they refined various elements of the mechanics to cater to Kyle Crane’s updated circumstances, ensuring players feel empowered with a strong sense of freedom and control.
In Episode 1140 of One Piece, the Marines attempted to restrain Luffy with sea stone handcuffs. They assumed that as a Yonko, Luffy was too weakened to pose a threat, providing an ideal moment for their capture. However, Luffy had anticipated this move and consumed his food rapidly. Utilizing his Gear 5th ability, he overpowered them instead.
