The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's reviews are in, and they're about what you'd expect: wall-to-wall praise for a game that seems to take much of what made its predecessor great and just make it greater. Yet if you cast your eye down the list of review scores on Metacritic, there's a single outlier: a 6/10.

The guest VTubers will be Hoshimachi Suisei, Tokino Sora, and Houshou Marine, as stated by the official Hololive JP Twitter account. Additionally, more concert merchandise pre-orders opened.

Take a look at the official announcement for the Japanese guests at the concert from the Hololive Twitter account here below.

https://twitter.com/hololivetv/status/1656494695986663427?s=20

The Japanese talents invited to participate in the Hololive EN concert are the 0th generation's Hoshimachi Suisei and Tokino Sora, along with the 3rd generation's Houshou Marine. Furthermore, fans expect that each member will join in singing and talking in between songs, following the style of previous live concerts. Previously, Hololive also revealed that Ayunda Risu, Moona Hoshinova, and Pavolia Reine from the Indonesian branch will be performing at the concert as well.

Among other announcements, the company shared more concert-related merchandise items. These include a tapestry with the event's official art, a shoulder bag featuring the silhouettes of all the EN VTubers, and a cap with the concert's name. In addition, there's also a series of acrylic stands and a set of embroidery keychains with icons and styles based on each talent.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak - Cat Armor

A new event quest headed to Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak will let players craft a new cat outfit. The quest called "A Mysterious Purr-esent" will pit hunters against a Somnacanth, a Mizutsune, and an Almudron in the Flooded Forest. The craftable set appears to be inspired by the classic Alice in Wonderland story, as the in-game name for the layered armor is "Alice."

Take a look at the cat and Alice layered armors in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak from the official Twitter account below.

https://twitter.com/monsterhunter/status/1656464369813684224?s=20

This event quest's name is "A Mysterious Purr-esent." To claim it, you just have to select Add-on Content via the Courier either in Kamura Village or the Elgado Outpost. Once accepted you will have to hunt three monsters: Somnacanth, Mizutsune, and Almudron. Completing the mission will reward you with Charming Foreign Drawings, which in turn you can use to craft the "Alice" layered armor at the Smithy.

Curiously enough, this isn't the first time this armor set has appeared in the Monster Hunter series. The "Alice" costumes first appeared as unlockables in the now out-of-service MMORPG Monster Hunter Frontier. Rise Sunbreak has received other armor sets from that same game such as the "Reflet" and "Lennigan" maid-like layered armor.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak is readily available on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. The "A Mysterious Purr-esent" quest is also available to claim across all platforms.

Best Arlan Relic and Lightcone Build in Honkai: Star Rail

Arlan is a four-star Honkai: Star Rail character with a risk-reward mechanic. His Shackle Breaker Skill lets you deal damage in exchange for sacrificing his health, and his Pain and Anger Talent increases his damage even further based on how low his HP gets. Which means for the best Arlan Honkai: Star Rail builds, you want to load him up with a Light Cone and Relic set that increases his attack, hopefully also boosts his health, and helps him survive long enough to deal tons of damage.

What are the best Light Cones for a Arlan build in Honkai: Star Rail?

In my mind, there's only one possible three-star Light Cone for an Arlan build in Honkai: Star Rail. That's Mutual Demise. We already know his health is going to be low. Shackle Breaker is going to take 15% of his health for each use. Once he gets below 80% health, this one guarantees at least a 16% buff to his critical hit rate. Since it's a three-star, you won't have any problem Superimposing it. That could mean hitting the up to 28% bonus like I did in my game. It's fantastic and a relatively low investment.

With a four-star one, I'd say try going with Nowhere to Run for Arlan. If he defeats an enemy, he'll restore a percentage of his health. It also boosts his attack by at least 24%.

Given he's Peppy's caretaker, it's a crime Woof! Walk Time! doesn't work for him.
[gallery columns="1" size="full" ids="962608" link="file"]

As for the five-star ones, I'd suggest On the Fall of an Aeon. Here's the official description for an one that isn't Superimposed. "Whenever the wearer attacks, their ATK is increased by 8% in this battle, up to 4 time(s). When the wearer inflicts Weakness Break on enemies, the wearer's DMG increases by 12% for 2 turn(s)."

What are the best Relics for a Arlan build in Honkai: Star Rail?

Like Hook and a lot of four-star characters, your goal with an Arlan build in Honkai: Star Rail will be to go with either Musketeer of Wild Wheat to boost his attack for all the moveset abilities that deal more damage based on his attack stat or pick Band of Sizzling Thunder to increase his Lightning damage. But in this case, I'd really say the latter is the smarter choice due to how often you'll use his Skill and get that attack buff for doing so as a result.

Musketeer of Wild Wheat is basically the default Relic set for many characters since Honkai: Star Rail's launch. If Arlan equips two pieces, his attack goes up by 12%. Four pieces means his damage is up by 10% and speed up by 6%. In the event you haven't already gotten over 10 pieces from various missions and rewards, you can stop by Jarilo-VI's Corridor of Fading Echoes to get pieces from the Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Drifting.

So Band of Sizzling Thunder is great for two reasons. One is the two-piece 10% Lightning damage buff. It's handy for him. But even better is the four-piece benefit. When you have four, he gets a 20% attack buff for a turn after using his Skill. Given his nature as a "blood knight" and how much damage he can do with Shackle Breaker, it's worth it to take advantage of that.

Honkai: Star Rail is available for PCs and mobile devices, and PS4 and PS5 versions are in development.

Koei Tecmo announced a new free update for Atelier Ryza 3 that lets players change the game's background music (BGM) to many different songs from the whole Atelier series. This follows an earlier update that unlocked the option to change the BGM via the in-game diary. Among the songs available are the main themes from Atelier Marie, Atelier Iris, and Mana Khemia.

This new free update for Atelier Ryza 3 is called the "Atelier Series Legacy BGM Pack," and it's available across all platforms. The songs included range from Atelier Marie: The Alchemist of Salburg to Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness and the Secret Hideout, totaling over 1,000 tracks. To change the soundtrack, you just have to access the in-game diary on the desk in the atelier and select the BGM option.

Note that this is not the same "Gust Extra BGM Pack" included in the Season Pass, as the latter features songs from more recent games like Atelier Ryza 2 and Atelier Sophie 2. The Season Pass also adds swimsuit and Japanese-based costumes for the characters, new recipes, and an additional area.

Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End and the Secret Key is readily available for PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The "Atelier Series Legacy BGM Pack" is also currently available across all platforms.

Before she joined Hololive, Suisei was an independent VTuber. She's part of Generation 0, along with others like Tokino Sora and Sakura Miko. Her debut date was on March 22, 2018, and she currently has over 1.87 million subscribers on her YouTube channel. Aside from making content for her own channel or with other Hololive VTubers, she has appeared on other channels such as The First Take.

FFVII Remake Sonon

Square Enix shared new details about Sonon Kusakabe's design in FFVII Remake Intergrade. Sonon is a warrior of Wutai, and he acts as Yuffie's partner during the Episode INTERmission DLC campaign. Sonon's design is inspired in part by Japanese samurai armor, in contrast to Yuffie's design which is inspired by ninjas.

The tweet shared by the official FFVII Remake Twitter account showed a render of Sonon. The caption noted that, as Sonon is from Wutai, the red parts in his outfit were inspired by the plating in Japanese samurai armor. However, Square Enix also reminded people that Sonon himself attached and adjusted the red armor parts to his clothing, gloves, and gauntlet as a DIY project.

Additionally, the tongue in Sonon's sneakers includes a black circle design featuring the relief of a stylized Chocobo in it. The detail is barely visible during gameplay, but it can be better appreciated in the renders.

You can take a better look at Sonon Kusakabe's design in FFVII Remake Intergrade in the tweet below.

Which Legend of Zelda Game Should I Play First

Pretty much everyone i stalking about The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in 2023. After all, it's a follow-up to a critically acclaimed installment and one of the biggest releases this year. But someone might also wonder if it is really the best The Legend of Zelda game to play at the moment, especially if someone is new to the series and it would be their first one. It's going to be big and intimidating! Since I've been playing entries in the series since the NES, I figured suggesting different sorts of installments could help people pin down the right one to pick up and play.

I want to play the newest The Legend of Zelda game first: Tears of the Kingdom

I figured let's start this out with an easy one. If you don't care about history, gameplay, or style of gameplay and just want the newest game, go with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It's the newest possible entry and you can find it on the Nintendo Switch.

However, since it is a sequel, I'd say you really might want to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild first if you can.

I want to play what may be all-time best The Legend of Zelda game first: A Link to the Past

While the original NES The Legend of Zelda titles lay an incredible foundation, A Link to the Past is perhaps one of the best games ever made. The artistry, game design, dungeons, and premise are all pretty much perfect. It appeared on the SNES, GBA (with Four Swords), 3DS, Wii, and Wii U via Virtual Console, and Nintendo Switch Online.

I want to play one of the all-time greatest 3D The Legend of Zelda games first: The Ocarina of Time

The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time is a formative game. It isn't just a wonderful The Legend of Zelda title. Both it and A Link to the Past should basically be mandatory playing for anyone who wants to really understand action games with a real sense of adventure. The storyline is great, the dungeons are fantastic, the time travel mechanic is wonderful, and it's a delight. You can find it on the N64, GameCube, Wii and Wii U via Virtual Console, Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, and 3DS.

[caption id="attachment_962574" align="alignnone" width="1200"]Which Legend of Zelda Game Should I Play First? Image via Nintendo[/caption]

I want to play a bright and colorful The Legend of Zelda game first: The Wind Waker

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is one of the brightest and most vibrant versions of Hyrule people will get to explore. It's one of the cel-shaded entries, and it also sets itself apart with its sea-faring ways. You can find it on the GameCube and Wii U.

I want to play a more unconventional The Legend of Zelda games first: Majora's Mask

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is weird in many wonderful ways. It's a direct follow-up to The Ocarina of Time. It relies upon masks for different abilities and progression. It's incredibly dark, as we see a moon about to crush everything. Plus there's a time loop that involves repeating days until you can get everything done to save the day. It's good! You can find it on the N64, GameCube, Wii and Wii U via Virtual Console, Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, and 3DS.

I want to play a darker The Legend of Zelda game first: The Twilight Princess

While it isn't an open-world game, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is a huge game with fantastic dungeons, the glorious gremlin-like assistant Midna, and a version of Link that can transforms into a wolf. It's a darker title in many ways, both in terms of appearance and knowing Twilight infested Hyrule. It's definitely worth someone's time. You can find it on the GameCube, Wii, and Wii U.

I want to play a multiplayer The Legend of Zelda game first: Four Swords Adventures

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures is so much fun! You can get together and form a group of four people who all control a "Link" to solve puzzles and progress through the adventure. It's a wonderful GameCube game. Though also, if you can't find it, then Four Swords on the GBA (via The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past) or The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition on the DSi or 3DS if you have it is also a lot of fun.

Charging batteries in a Zelda game, explained Zonai Charge is an item dropped from hostile Zonai Constructs fought across the map. At first it seems random and useless, but that's because it doesn't come into play until roughly after the In-isa shrine, when a construct you come across gives you an Energy Cell for utilizing Zonai Charges.
