Booting up the Steam Deck during my vacation, I realized that over the last year, I've played more games on it compared to my gaming PC. There are a lot of reasons for it. These include the Steam Deck's unique form-factor that let me stay on the screen for extended periods and finish my games till their actual end. Furthermore, the Deck's PC architecture opened the door to emulation that helped me enjoy my childhood favorites in 2024. Clearing off dozens of games from my Steam library that would have taken months on my actual PC, I can see why the Steam Deck helped me play more games.

While Dragonsplague in Dragon's Dogma 2 can be a ruthless system that many might find unfair. However, before I knew it I had started to run scared about my own favorite getting the illness. Capcom has managed to brilliantly add a system that while so devastating instills a sense of companionship in what are supposed to be just NPCs.

Warzone Mobile's global release has been met with immense negative response as the game suffers a plethora of graphical issues, optimization problems, bugs, high ping and crashes. In this article, I share my first thoughts on COD Warzone Mobile and address all the issues that I faced with it.

Exclusivity has been in the video games industry for a long time now. However, ending this term in video games can solve a lot of problems for developers and gamers alike. Non-exclusivity can create more opportunities and increase the player base. It will also help diversify and generate more revenue from the games. Increasing cross-platform gaming can help more in creating better communities. If the studios work hand in hand, the games can be better and gamers will have a better product to consume.

As adaptations are slowly getting better and picking up steam, I sit down to converse about what matters to me most. We take a look at the brief history of the not-so-stellar adaptations, the possible reason for its inconsistent track-record, and whether we have a glimmer of hope in the future.

Capcom released Dragon's Dogma 2 character creator earlier than the actual game's launch. In my opinion, this was one of the best things that could happen. The character creator not only helped me create my Arisen well before time but also built a lot of excitement. This same effect catapulted to gamers worldwide with even the company easily hyping their product up.

Rise of the Ronin is here and I have spent a few hours enjoying it. The game begins beautifully with a tale that is slowly unravelling to be something amazing. While I am not the biggest fan of the souls like combat mechanics, I am beginning to understand and appreciate it. Rise of the Ronin does spice things up by having an amazing skill tree, a bountiful character creator and various combat styles. How far all these can carry the game is something I plan on finding out.

In the modern day and age, multiplayer games feel the same, boring, and not worked on. However, with the launch of Lethal Company, Palworld, and Helldivers 2, that seems to have changed. Lethal Company makes you enjoy a game just through its clean UI, freedom of exploration and simplicity. Palworld on the other hand is the perfect example of how developers should connect with their community. Helldivers 2 has finally made shooter experiences fun and enjoyable with its goofiness and satire.

The Tomb Raider remasters gracefully recreate and elevate the old trilogy of games to new heights. I appreciate the attention to detail that has been paid with even tiny textures carried over. Not only do the new graphics look like a breath of fresh air, but I actually found the divisive modern controls not half bad.

Rockstar Games always have not been on point with their GTA games. There are some features that we have seen in previous Rockstar games that are missing in the recent ones. That is why we have made our list of 7 things that we would love to see featured in GTA 6. Here's hoping they listen!

Made by a music creator on YouTube, MrSuicideSheep, Sheepy: A Short Adventure is a 2D platformer game. The game takes you down in a story of a resurrected plushie and their journey. You will witness a perfect sync of music and pixelated art in this game. Sheepy also offers you a lot of hidden discoverable and achievements that will make you play it again. You can enjoy Sheepy for free on Steam.

Minecraft Legends is a spin-off strategy game set in the Minecraft world. The game started off strong, but its player base slowly started dwindling. One of the reasons was because of the pretty plain, shallow, and repetitive gameplay. Moreover, there was pretty much nothing to do after you beat the game's final boss. The game was very expensive, even tough it provided just a short campaign mode and a pretty directionless multiplayer mode. Minecraft Legends' development studio Mojang also neglected the game, offering zero communication, which meant players got no updates or news on its future development. Minecraft Legends was officially discontinued on January 10, 2024.

I have played LEGO Fortnite for 40+ hours and there's one thing I love about this game - the villagers. I never found anything similar in other survival games. The villagers in LEGO Fortnite is one the best thing to happen in any survival game. They help you out with all kinds of jobs and make you feel less lonely when you are playing in single-player mode. You can dance and chat with them while waiting for more content updates around them coming in future.
