     How to play Kiriko in Overwatch 2 -- Tips and tricks bugsOverwatch 2 just received a hefty mid-season balance patch which swung the meta a bit with some wild balance changes. Junker Queen mains, for instance, ate well with this patch with some huge buffs that increase her survivability and damage. Other characters, like Ana, weren't so lucky. However, the real loser of this patch isn't any of the heroes who got a minor nerf here or there. It's the players, who are reporting a record amount of bugs that seem to be hitting the game all at once. The latest midseason buff is bugging out, with some characters like Doomfist and Sigma going crazy. One of the major bugs that hit the recent patch was for Sigma, who is currently disabled in competitive mode due to a glitch that allows him to fly indefinitely.

Another major hero bug is surrounding Doomfist, whose Power Block is not working correctly against a huge list of different abiliti...

     Redfall Bad Reviews Bird FireDeveloper Arkane Studios has become a renowned developer over the years, having made critically acclaimed hits like Deathloop and the Dishonored series. But if you only looked at the reception of Redfall, the studio's latest game, you probably would not have intuited this. Having come out recently, Redfall has been raked over the coals by both players and professional critics alike. Currently, the PC version sits at a middling 59 Metascore on Metacritic, and Steam users have given it a "mostly negative" rating on the service. So this begs the question, what went wrong with Redfall to warrant all of these bad reviews? What happened with Redfall? A general blandness and uninspiredness in much of Redfall's design encompass much of the game's negative response. Many have expressed that the open world feels empty and uninteresting to explore and that the mission design stays repetitive throughout. Additionally, players have criticized the game'...
