As a long-time fan, I’ve watched the Assassin’s Creed series change a lot over the last decade. Ubisoft started adding RPG stuff – levels, gear, all that – which was a big shift from the action-adventure games we all loved since 2007. When Odyssey came out in 2018, it felt like a really fresh take, and a lot of us thought it fixed a formula that was starting to feel a little stale. But now, with each new game, I think a lot of fans – and critics – are starting to feel like they’ve gone too far with the RPG elements. Games like Odyssey and Valhalla just feel…overstuffed, honestly. It’s lost some of what made Assassin’s Creed special, in my opinion.

This guide covers all 30 of the Aphelion achievements and how to earn them as you progress through the story. If you happen to miss an achievement, don’t worry! You can always replay missions after finishing Chapter 11.

To finish the Lonely Player Anomaly Commission in NTE, you need to invite eight Lost Puppets by completing their hidden quests. Here’s a list of the eight Puppets you’ll need to find:

It’s hard to say which game will win right now, with so many releases still to come before the awards. However, it’s clear the competition for the top prize will be fierce. Whether you enjoy horror, action, farming, or any other genre, 2026 is already proving to be an amazing year for gaming, demonstrating what can happen when passion and skill come together.

I was completely blown away when we first saw Omen in Chapter 1180 of One Piece! It’s this incredible power that manifests as these unique black flames, and Imu uses it for so many different things. What’s really interesting is how it feels similar to Haki – it seems to come from the same energy source within everyone in the One Piece world. But it’s definitely not just Haki, there are some major differences that make Omen something totally new and special!

To begin the “Change Your Perspective” side quest in NTE, travel northeast from the Kyllene Promenade to the Anomalus Realm—you’ll find a black and white zone there. Talk to the Unyielding Rejected Plan to get started. The quest involves climbing to the top of a building by cleverly changing your perspective.

In early April 2026, Disney Dreamlight Valley received a free update called Whispers of the Wind, introducing Pocahontas and her raccoon companion, Meeko. The update included a new story where players help Pocahontas solve the mystery of the Moontide Glow, and complete her Friendship Quests to unlock her iconic outfit. The game also added new Star Wars costumes, including several outfits for Padme, available in the in-game store. Recently, Disney Dreamlight Valley released another free outfit that players can get immediately without needing to complete any tasks.

You can find the blueprint for the Powered Descender in ARC Raiders by looting high-value areas, particularly during Night Raids when loot is doubled. But if you want to find it quickly, check the lockers inside the Tennis Court area on the Riven Tides map.

Okay, so as a gamer, I’ve noticed something kinda frustrating. Sometimes a game will build up all these rules and consequences, but then completely ignore them just to make the story go a certain way. Like, a character will survive something impossible – falling from space, getting blown up, you name it – or they’ll just magically come back to life so you can beat the final boss. It’s cool to see, sure, but it feels…off. It’s like the writers cared more about making something dramatic happen than making it actually make sense within the game’s world. I’ve collected some of the most head-scratching moments where logic just went out the window for the sake of the story.

Players of massively multiplayer online role-playing games, particularly fans of Final Fantasy 14, have long hoped the game would be available on the upcoming Switch 2 console. After several hints, the developers officially announced at a recent fan event in Anaheim that Final Fantasy 14 will indeed launch on Switch 2 in August.
