The upcoming action-RPG Empyreal , developed by Silent Games and published by Secret Mode, is set to launch on May 8th . A demo is already available on Steam, and after checking out the game, I’ve already formed some thoughts—mostly positive ones. Here’s what stands out. Engaging Combat and Unique Graphics The combat in Empyreal centers around wielding an array of magical halberds, railguns, and cooldown-based spells as you face off against ancient robots while unraveling the mysteries of a lost civilization. The third-person combat has a dynamic feel that might remind you of the recently released Eternal Strands , though it lacks real-time physics and destruction. Nonetheless, it looks fun, even if certain animations feel a bit stiff at times. One thing that caught my attention was the damage number pop-ups . They’re a bit odd, looking strangely thin compared to the weighty character models and environments. This mismatch gives the odd impression that you’re smashing a checkout m...

This jewel grants the Antivirus skill, which can be especially helpful in high-level fights against monsters like Gore Magala.

Recently, while playing Two Point Museum , I had an interesting experience where the game actually made me a better boss. This game is a fantastic example of a management simulation, where you manage a museum, curate various exhibits, improve guest experiences, and tackle quirky challenges. The Core of the Game: Endless Fun and Rewards Two Point Museum hooks players by constantly rewarding them. Sending out an archaeological team to acquire new exhibits will net you a free loot box filled with ancient treasures. On top of that, researching duplicate exhibits or decorations unlocks new items, which keeps you engaged and motivated to keep progressing. Challenges That Push You to Improve As you advance in the game, you’re faced with various objectives and missions.

Recently, new details about the Expert Difficulty in Assassin's Creed Shadows have been revealed, and it's turning out to be more than just increasing enemy health bars. This news has caught the attention of many gamers, especially those who are looking for a more serious challenge in their gameplay. More Than Just HP Buffs: Smarter Enemies In many games, when you ramp up the difficulty, it usually means that enemies just get more health and deal more damage. However, Assassin's Creed Shadows takes a different approach. Instead of simply buffing enemy stats, the AI becomes more intelligent and strategic . For example, enemies will no longer just focus on what's right in front of them; they’ll start checking overhead spaces , making rooftops no longer a safe zone. This means that enemies become much more proactive and aware , and players will need to adapt their tactics accordingly. Rooftops Are No Longer Safe On normal difficulty, players can comfortably hide on ...

Combat in Monster Hunter Wilds can be incredibly tricky, especially for newcomers. With complex weapon movesets, a variety of items to manage, and monsters constantly trying to take you down, it can feel overwhelming. But did you know that there’s a hidden setting that can make your combat experience much smoother? Focus Mode and the Toggle Setting One of the most crucial elements of combat in Monster Hunter Wilds is Focus Mode . By default, when you hold the left trigger (or ALT key on PC), Focus Mode activates, highlighting orange wounds on the monster. Hitting these wounds will deal extra damage and reward you with additional monster parts for crafting — it’s a win-win situation. However, as the game progresses, fights become tougher, and trying to keep Focus Mode on while maneuvering around monsters can get cumbersome. Especially when you’re juggling various tasks during the battle, managing Focus Mode can become a bit of a hassle . Here’s the good news: there’s an option to ch...
