As a Laevatain player, I’ve found that equipping the Hot Work set in Endfield is a total game-changer! It’s because she gets a massive damage boost when she applies Combustion to enemies. Seriously, it makes a huge difference in her DPS and really amps up the damage from her Ultimate – it’s almost essential for getting the most out of her!

The term ‘open-world game’ can sometimes be inaccurate. Many great open-world games were initially ignored due to issues like poor performance, negative reviews, or ineffective marketing. Players quickly moved on to more hyped titles. But, once people actually gave these overlooked games a chance, they discovered how good they were. As a result, most have become beloved cult classics. Those that haven’t may simply need a larger audience to appreciate them.

The latest expansion, Visions of Eternity, arrived for Guild Wars 2 on October 28th. Players will travel to the distant island of Castora as heroes of Tyria, chasing after the Inquest and their quest to uncover ancient secrets.

You might expect Wonder Man to be a typical superhero story, but it’s actually a surprisingly funny buddy comedy with minimal focus on traditional heroics. While it touches on interesting ideas about enhanced people in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the show is, at its heart, about the relationship between its main characters. What really makes Wonder Man stand out is that it breaks away from the usual Marvel TV formula, and its unique approach is what makes it so enjoyable. The exceptional chemistry between the leads is key to its success.

Luckily, there are tons of fantastic anime series with enough episodes to entertain you well into 2026. Many of the longest-running anime are shonen shows based on manga from Weekly Shonen Jump. While this isn’t a bad thing, it’s good to keep that in mind when you start watching.

Several times a year, Overwatch 2 asks a small group of players for their feedback on potential hero skins through surveys. These surveys often include concept art for many different designs. Some of these ideas, like the Floral Dreams skins that came out in Overwatch 2 Season 18, are eventually added to the game.

These games aren’t entirely without merit – the gameplay, story, or music might actually be enjoyable. However, they’re best known for being hilariously bad, but in a fun way. This ranking will consider both how good (or bad) they are and their influence on gaming as a whole.

Since launching in July 2016, Pokemon GO has consistently added new Pokemon to its collection. Although the game doesn’t include all Pokemon, it boasts hundreds for players to catch. However, with so many already added, Scopely is starting to run low on Pokemon to include. For instance, they’ve added all available Pokemon from the first three generations. Luckily, newer regions like Galar and Paldea still have plenty of creatures that can be added to the game.

A recent update to Pokemon Legends: Z-A addressed a key issue with shiny Pokemon hunting by removing the ability to manipulate spawn points, which could create uncertainty with future updates. However, all updates have focused on improving the game. Patch 2.0.1 finally removes a limit on Mega Shards, a problem that existed since the game’s release and became more noticeable with the downloadable content. This fix addresses a long-standing frustration for players.
