New Party-Based RPG on Steam Basically Simulates the Older Final Fantasy Games

When the Light Dies features a party of five playable characters and a unique battle system where you adapt your strategy during combat. Players can also customize how their characters learn new skills. The game’s Steam page highlights features like side quests, hidden areas, multiple difficulty levels, and a post-game exploration counter, all of which are reminiscent of classic Final Fantasy titles.

PS Plus Extra Has 3 Clear Targets with May’s Monthly Games

PlayStation Plus generally follows a predictable pattern across its different levels. The Essential tier, which includes the ‘free’ monthly games, usually offers decent but unremarkable titles – they’re unlikely to attract new subscribers. Most PlayStation owners need this tier to play games online (except for free-to-play games like Fortnite), so they’ll have access to these games regardless. The Extra tier steps it up with a couple of strong titles, alongside a variety of games aimed at different interests. Finally, the Premium tier releases a classic PlayStation game every couple of months, and seems to offer the least value for money despite being the most expensive option.

Marathon Devs Reveal How They’re Tackling the Game’s Biggest Problems

Bungie’s classic 1990s sci-fi shooter trilogy, Marathon, was recently re-released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S on March 5th. Despite a growing number of similar ‘extraction shooter’ games, Marathon has quickly gained a dedicated fanbase in its first season. Critics have also been positive, giving the game an average score of 81 out of 100 and a recommendation rate of 73% on OpenCritic. In my review for TopMob, I scored the game a 9/10, highlighting its excellent presentation, character building options, and satisfying progression, though I noted that it has a very challenging learning curve.
