Our Favorite and Best Genshin Impact Events

There have been a lot of events in Genshin Impact now that it's over two years old, so we figured it's a good time to discuss the ones we liked best. Especially now that we've already seen the 2023 Lantern Rite and Windblume Festival appear in the game.

I'm going to have to say the Genshin Impact Unreconciled Stars event is the best one in some ways. This is primarily because of how much additional context we ended up getting about the world. It introduced Scaramouche, showing us a character who'd be relevant to the story in many different ways. We also got hints about the nature of Teyvat. Not to mention it's great to see Mona get more screen-time, as you'd think an astrologer would help provide interesting insights into the nature of the world.

However, I am also a very big fan of both Golden Apple Archipelago events. The 1.6 and 2.8 ones both offered a lot to do, good rewards, and a great space to explore. -- Jenni

Our Favorite and Best Genshin Impact Events a

My personal favorite event in Genshin Impact is the Irodori Festival, mainly because I always love events that parody Comiket and the convention scene. It's also a good, light-hearted diversion, which also happens to be the canonical first meeting for several of my favorite Liyue and Inazuma characters. Also, the Irodori Festival and the events around it hosts my favorite side quest, "Buyer's Guide to Statue of Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder." It's a shame that hoYoVerse doesn't seem to believe in event reruns yet, as newer players will have missed out on this goodness. -- Josh

My favourite Genshin Impact flagship event was also the Irodori Festival for different reasons than Josh. (Okay, I'm just a Kazuha and Xingqiu simp.) So my second favourite is the second Lantern Rite Festival. I'm a sucker for the Lantern Rite in general because I really like how bright Liyue is during that time, and I particularly enjoyed the second one because that was Shenhe's debut event. Her story was the perfect mix of heartwarming and funny that I felt was a great improvement from writing fumbles in the main story at the time. -- Stephanie

The Overwatch 2 x One Punch Man characters wearing their skins.

There's nothing that says thriving competitive game quite like a branded skin collaboration, and the Overwatch 2 x One Punch Man crossover is the first such collaboration in Overwatch's history.  Until April 6, 2023, fans of One Punch Man can experience the wonder that is Saitama Doomfist, Genos Genji, Terrible Tornado Kiriko, and Mumen Rider Soldier 76 through the magic of skins. In addition to the character skins, several other crossover cosmetics including weapon charms, emotes and voice lines are also available, with some being pay-to-unlock while others can be acquired by playing the game. Read on to learn how to unlock each skin and collectible!

Shop Exclusives - Saitama Doomfist, Genos Genji, Terrible Tornado Kiriko

The three headliner skins in this collaboration are shop exclusives, meaning that players have to pay for them using Overwatch 2's premium currency. Each skin can be purchased as part of a skin and items set, or as part of the all-in bundle. If you're interested in getting all the skins then the all-in-bundle is technically the most valuable, but if you only care about one or two of them then you're better off getting them separately.

The Overwatch 2 store page featuring One Punch Man cosmetics.

Here is the full pricing breakdown:

  • Saitama item combo: 2,500 Coins
  • Genos item combo: 1,900 Coins
  • Terrible Tornado combo: 2,100 Coins
  • One Punch Man all-in bundle: 4,400 Coins

The all-in bundle comes with 10 total cosmetics, broken up into three skins, one emote, one victory pose, one voice line, one highlight intro, and three name cards. It's worth noting that the item pack combos aren't created equally, with the Saitama Doomfist combo featuring five cosmetics, the Terrible Tornado Kiriko combo featuring three, and the Genos Genji combo featuring two. It's also worth noting that 2,200 coins currently costs $19.99 to purchase, which makes the cost of the all in-bundle around $40.

Event Challenge Rewards - Mumen Rider Soldier 76, Other Cosmetics

But what about the free-to-play Overwatch 2 users? Thankfully, those players are not completely left out of the Overwatch 2 x One Punch Man fun. Gamers can earn the Mumen Rider Soldier 76 without spending any currency, as long as they play 24 games. While 24 games may seem like a lot, each win counts for two games so players can technically unlock the skin within the span of 12 matches. In addition, there are five other cosmetics that can be earned by playing in four, six, twelve, sixteen and twenty games, respectively.

  • 4 games played – Saitama's Fist Weapon Charm
  • 8 games played – Mumen Rider Name Card
  • 12 games played – Cyclist of Justice Victory Pose for Soldier: 76
  • 16 games played – Justice Crash Highlight Intro for Soldier: 76
  • 20 games played – Boros Weapon Charm
  • 24 games played – Legendary Mumen Rider-Soldier: 76 skin

The Overwatch 2 x One Punch Man challenges menu.

The Overwatch 2 x One Punch Man crossover event runs until April 6, 2023 and there has been no indication as to whether or not these skins will be made available past that. That being said, if other live service games like Fortnite are any indication then we will probably see these skins pop-up again at some point in the coming months and years.

What Does Beating Jeanne's Tale in Bayonetta Origins Jeanne Unlock

After beating Bayonetta Origins for the first time, Jeanne's Tale unlocks. However, there's still more to earn. Finishing this side story means another bonus. In addition to another possible side of a story, you get some new looks for the main game.

Beating Jeanne's Tale in Bayonetta Origins/em> doesn't take too long. Compared to the main game, it's more of an overview and taste. Someone could easily get through it in about an hour.

Once done, people earn three Bayonetta Origins costumes. Two are for Cereza, while one is for Cheshire. The Cheshire one is "Charles." It can only be used with the "Jeanne" outfit, which becomes available for Cereza after completing the side story. People also earn a Bayonetta 3-inspired Arch-Eve Origin costume for Cereza. All three can be used in the main game by heading to a save lantern and selecting one from the Costumes menu.

As a reminder, if you haven't unlocked this element of the game yet, you do need to complete Bayonetta Origins first. Once you have, you can find this side story in the main menu. It'll be in the "Extras" section.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is available for the Nintendo Switch. A demo is available.

     Exoprimal Open Beta Impressions 1I covered Exoprimal's closed network test back in July of last year, so when the open beta kicked off, it was time to see what exactly would be different. Despite eight months having passed, the game looks and feels the same, but there are a handful of things that were new to me. Unfortunately, there's still only one of the game's modes available, so we'll have to wait until it releases this July to see just how it shapes up. For now, though, I certainly have a better idea what to expect in various ways. All ten of Exoprimal's exosuits are now freely selectable, including one that uses a grenade launcher and another that uses pistols that can be swapped between damage and healing modes. The exosuits themselves can be likened to characters from a hero shooter, all with their own skills and specific focuses, which include damage, tanks, and support units. The only mode the open beta provides is the same as the network test – a five vs five PvEvP even...
