Few Metroidvanias are successful in rocking me to my core. The original Blasphemous was a hit for Indie players, and while I enjoyed the aesthetic and gameplay, I felt it was still somewhat lacking. It pushed boundaries in terms of Gothic Horror in video games while showing us a beautiful and cruel world. Blasphemous 2 refines that formula and feels superior to play while possibly defining a new niche, Liturgical Horror, as I explore in my review.

Creating your own version of Commander Shepard is part of the magic of Mass Effect, and the character creation process begins with selecting a pre-service history, psychological profile, and military specialization. While Shepard remains largely the same as a character in everyone’s playthroughs, you do have some say in their background and history prior to joining the Alliance military. These background decisions don’t affect a whole lot, but there are some unique perks and quests attached to each one.

In Starfield, you’ll find many quests are simple misunderstandings you must clear up. Despite much of the game’s main plot involving mysterious artifacts and shocking revelations about the past, sometimes a dispute between former lovers is your next mission. While working with UC Security forces on Jemison in New Atlantis, Sergeant Yumi tasks you with resolving a conflict between 2 former partners. Should you side with Hugo or Octavio in the Break at Dawn mission in Starfield?

It’s Sunday in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which for many is the very best day of the week. Why? Because it’s when the Stalk Market kicks into high gear. Daisy Mae will be visiting your deserted island paradise today from 6am to 12pm. To new players this might not be such a big deal, but it’s probably the best chance you have to make a lot of Bells for the rest of the week.

Every foe has a weakness in Elden Ring, no matter how tough they might be. However, one of these weaknesses stands out more than others. Blood loss is one of the many status effects in the game. A surprising number of enemies are weak to blood loss, including some major bosses and even other players. Knowing the best bleed weapons in Elden Ring is perhaps the most vital information for players using Arcane builds and anyone looking to deal the most damage they can.
