What Is the Point of No Return in Stellar Blade?

by

In games such as Stellar Blade, there are critical moments often referred to as “irreversible points” or “turning points.” These are significant plot developments that demand the player’s undivided focus until a specific segment of the narrative concludes. Typically, a game will only have one such point, and it usually occurs just before the climax. This feature is designed to give players an opportunity to complete any unfinished missions or upgrades prior to the final showdown. However, Stellar Blade presents two such critical points, adding an extra layer of tension and decision-making for the player.

As you journey through Stellar Blade, you’ll come across an array of intriguing Non-Player Characters (NPCs). Several of these characters may request your assistance with tasks, which are optional quests. It would be beneficial to complete these side missions because they offer a variety of useful rewards like Vitcoins, XP, and other prizes. One of the NPCs you’ll encounter is a woman named Roxanne, who has an unusual sense of humor but plays a significant role in the game as she sells Eve outfits and assorted items.

Elden Ring Nightreign player completes their ‘solo gremlin challenge’, clearing every boss in a row as its squishiest character

by

Reddit user PotatoFoSho labels it the “single gremlin test,” a nickname derived from the multitude of memes featuring The Revenant portrayed as a small, enraged doll often brandishing a sword larger than herself. This character is amongst Nightreign’s least durable and heavily reliant on discovering potent spells in each venture. However, when properly equipped, she can employ her colossal skeleton summons to divert the attention of bosses while she dismantles them.

The 15 Best Strategy Games Of 2025 So Far

by

2025 marked the full release of Age of Darkness: Final Stand, a game I had the pleasure of reviewing for Firaxis this year.

The unique “SwarmTech” technology brings this game to life, allowing for tens of thousands of enemies to be displayed simultaneously on screen during intense and visually striking “Death Nights,” challenging players to strategize and build defensive structures effectively. The campaign stood out for me, with its intricate plot twists that kept me engaged from start to finish.

What makes Age of Darkness: Final Stand truly special is its well-designed single-player experience, complete with base-building mechanics, resource management, and a roster of distinctive heroes. In addition to the single-player campaign, players can look forward to an eagerly awaited cooperative multiplayer mode.

Gears of War: E-Day Returning Weapon Wish List

by

To date, only one trailer for “Gears of War: E-Day” has been unveiled, showcasing Marcus Fenix battling a Locust Drone amidst the Locust Horde’s attack on Kalona. This trailer indicates that The Coalition is bringing back at least one iconic weapon from past games – the Mark 1 Lancer Assault Rifle or Retro Lancer – for “E-Day”. Given that “E-Day” is the earliest game in the “Gears” series timeline, it’s possible that many weapons from current titles may not be included, but there’s a strong expectation that some iconic weapons will make a comeback in both the campaign and multiplayer of “E-Day”.

Pokemon Fan Creates Paradox Form for Heliolisk

In the sixth generation of Pokemon games, Heliolisk was first introduced – this is an Electric/Normal type creature. To get hold of Heliolisk in Pokemon X and Y, players must evolve a Helioptile using a Sun Stone after catching it either on Route 9 or Friend Safari. Heliolisk can be a strong choice for trainers because it has access to potent Electric-type moves like Thunderbolt, Electrify, and Thunder.

Why the New Greek God of War Game’s Supposed Delay May Be a Blessing in Disguise

by

According to Grubb’s statements, the upcoming God of War game, based on Greek mythology, won’t be a remaster or a direct sequel to God of War Ragnarok. Instead, it appears to be a spin-off or side story, leading some gamers to ponder the possibility of a Miles Morales-inspired offshoot following Ragnarok. However, despite Grubb’s initial suggestion that this side project might be discussed during God of War’s anniversary celebration in April, Santa Monica Studios has remained relatively quiet on the matter. More recently, Grubb reported that the release date for this new God of War game has been pushed back internally to 2026, which could potentially offer several advantages.
