Man, January was rough for mobile gaming. Losing Rory McIlroy PGA Tour sucked, but The Simpsons: Tapped Out really hit hard – I still see players holding onto the app, hoping EA will somehow bring it back. Honestly, it doesn’t seem like EA ever revives a dead game unless they completely remake it, and I’m guessing the next game they shut down will be the same story. It’s a bummer, but that’s just how it seems to go.
Look, I think Red Dead Redemption 2 is an incredible game, honestly a masterpiece. But I get why some people had issues with it when it first came out. A lot of the criticism comes down to how it plays. It doesn’t really let you experiment or do things your own way, which can feel limiting. If you compare it to something like Elden Ring or even the newer Assassin’s Creed games, the moment-to-moment gameplay feels a bit… basic. It doesn’t have the same depth of RPG systems. But Red Dead 2 gives you something those other games just can’t – something special that goes beyond just how it plays.
Most shows have at least one character that fans either love or hate, and Demon Slayer is no exception. While the majority of the characters are well-liked, Zenitsu definitely gets some criticism. He’s a valuable part of the group and develops a lot throughout the series, but it’s understandable why some viewers find his behavior annoying.
Players in Speranza and other games are constantly finding clever ways to locate opponents on the map, using in-game tools or loopholes. For instance, repeatedly using the ping function in ARC Raiders can expose enemies hiding in foliage. Some players have also discovered that lowering the graphics settings to remove plants can reveal camouflaged opponents. Now, Speranza players have shared a new tactic – they’re calling it a set of “legal cheats” – to both find and track nearby enemies.
Let’s explore some games where you play as a single, powerful hero. We’re looking at a variety of genres, not just shooting games. The focus is on titles where you are specifically chosen to be the lone warrior – unlike games like the Warriors series with many playable characters. We’re also highlighting games that really make you feel like you’re on your own; for example, we’re leaving out Halo because Master Chief often works with other soldiers.
This often leads to unique products that don’t get the attention they deserve, but it also creates truly memorable experiences that stick with me for unusual reasons.
The One Piece anime is quickly approaching the end of its current storyline, the Egghead arc, and fans are eagerly anticipating what happens next. Recent episodes have been packed with action and suspense. It’s become clear that Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates are struggling to defeat the powerful Five Elders. They even needed assistance from the Giant Warrior Pirates, but even that wasn’t enough to hold them off for long. Fortunately, a new ally arrived to help – a character named Emet.
Researchers have developed a new framework that allows AI agents to not only answer complex questions using knowledge graphs, but also improve their reasoning abilities over time through self-directed learning.
I’m super excited because the Wilds team is doing a livestream on YouTube starting December 8th! They’re finally going to share all the details about Title Update 4, which drops on December 16th. Can’t wait to see what’s new!
It seems The God Slayer is the most ambitious game developed by this Chinese studio so far. People are already drawing comparisons to popular titles like Black Myth: Wukong, and highly-regarded anime such as Avatar: The Last Airbender.
