     Sorry Cyberpunk 2077, Dead Island 2's Haus is best DLC right now

I loved the first Dead Island game back in the day, but returning to play it again before the DI2 release date, I found myself bored with the to-ing and fro-ing of the missions and long drives where you're just running down zombies. Dead Island 2 doesn't have the cars, and traveling is, to an extent, faster, but even then a lot of the campaign still feels like it could be streamlined. This is where the Dead Island 2 Haus DLC shines.

Immortals Of Aveum never looked like it was going to be successful, and it wasn't. I root for it, however. In an industry where big budget blockbusters are most often sequels, or boringly safe, Aveum feels comparatively bold just by being a self-evidentaly daft first-person mashup of Call Of Duty and Doctor Strange magic powers.

Now it has a demo, so you can try it for free.

Tamon's B-Side Is a Shojo Manga that Starts with Character Development

With shojo manga, there's often a push to immediately start setting up the couple and romantic moments. However, what I appreciated about the new Viz series Tamon's B-Side is that it starts more with character development for Utage and the potential love interest and pop star Tamon.

Which is funny, given how Tamon's B-Side begins. It starts off by establishing Utage is a huge fan who adores Tamon, a member of the boy band F/ACE. Super fan is likely the more appropriate term, given her actions with her friends, dedication to watching, and collecting of his merchandise. We see overwhelming support for the performer she sees on stage.

Then she meets the actual Tamon when he's off-stage. Her part-time job is to work as a housekeeper, and she fills in for his absent one. But because the name and the actual person are so different, it gives her pause. While his stage presence means he's a flirty, bad boy extrovert, he's actually a pessimistic, quiet, and even depressed introvert. 

This leads to a really fun first volume of the shojo manga! Instead of jumping into Utage being flustered about being around her idol, though there is some of that, the vast difference between who Tamon is on-stage and in-person means that the apprehension or unrealistic devotion isn't present. Instead, some of the initial part is Utage reconciling the differences. 

With the rest, we get to see mangaka Yuki Shiwasu form the basis of a really fun relationship. Because Utage is such a fan, she knows everything about Tamon's on-stage performance. As his manager even notes, she becomes adept at helping him become better at his job. Her support, insight into his persona, and assistance in getting him to participate in a fan event that he'd avoided before benefits him. Likewise, because of the connection, she ends up permanently being his housekeeper, gets to spend time with her idol, and comes away seeing how he's a human being. I feel we see her start to snap a bit out of the love of the character he creates and instead appreciate the real him.

Of course by the end of the first volume of Tamon's B-Side, we see this is laying the foundation for the "will they or won't they" relationship in the shojo manga. There are clear moments where we start to see evidence of their feelings. In a way, it almost seems like this is one of those situations where Tamon is falling before Utage. Which again, makes it a really fun read. We're getting this character development and seeing people learn about each other before immediately jumping into any kind of feelings, and the first volume executes it in a fun way.

Volume 1 of Tamon's B-Side is available now, and Viz Media will publish volume 2 of the shojo manga on January 2, 2024.

In the right situations, KarmaZoo can be fun, but it relies heavily on helpful characters and other people.

KarmaZoo feels like it asks how people respond when they go through a Journey like experience where you're randomly tasked to explore with others, but with more strict time limits, hazardous perils, and dinosaurs. It relies heavily on other people and the experience, but that in turn means it is only at its best when everything comes together in the right way.

First of all, I did have a chance to play KarmaZoo ahead of launch. However, it went so poorly that it helped set the stage for how situational the game is. If you're alone, there's really nothing you can do besides spend hearts you've accrued. You need to have at least one other person on hand for either the local competitive Totem mode or for the online cooperative Loop.

Though a single player also isn't ideal as well. KarmaZoo is supposed to adapt to player size. However, some of the stages I encountered when playing with one other person ended up being unreasonable due to things like the time limit and both of us being stuck as the Slime, the most basic and uninteresting character type. If there wasn't an issue with separating to trigger switches while dealing with the Halo that would keep us alive, certain platforming sections that would probably have been easier with different characters ate into our valuable time.

Post-launch, KarmaZoo's experience is better, but again heavily reliant on your resources. Everyone starts this platformer as a slime. You can sing, which is a trigger for certain switches, double jump, leave behind a tombstone when you die, cling to walls, and send people hearts as a "thank you" for their actions in levels. (Said hearts act as a currency for unlocking.) However, other roles have additional abilities, and unlocking them may mean they'll be more helpful to yourself and others. For example, a plant person could grow into a platform, raptors run fast, or a candle could light torches to offer more visibility.

Each run in the Loop begins with a brief fruit catching opportunity before heading into the stage. Getting certain numbers of fruit here or in stages means the group playing can vote on a perk for the following level. When you head into a stage, you have a limited amount of time (300 seconds) to reach the exit, with four stages (acts) for each one. You want to keep close to other players, because that generates a Halo that allows you to revive if you die. (If you die when alone, you become a ghost that can offer emoji directional cues toward the gate.) You essentially platform through areas, occasionally dying on spikes to leave tombstones, singing at switches to move platforms, conducting electricity, standing on switches to open pathways, and collecting keys for doors. I found the main challenges tended to come from properly jumping to the correct places, especially when there are a lot of spikes or crumbling platforms.

Because this is a game that can rely so heavily on people all going the correct direction, hitting the right switches, and reacting in time with other players so you make proper progress safely and swiftly, it means the people you're playing with have the greatest effect on the experience. If you are with people who aren't making good choices or cooperating, it isn't much fun! It's frustrating! Also, I found the ideal number of players tends to be around six. That means you can pair up, to ensure you have Halos, or split into two groups of three. Any fewer and it's far too easy for everyone to get distracted, die, and then fail. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEJJgcrtJR4

As for the Totem mode, I felt it was a bit bland. It's fine, but many of the minigames can involve platforming to reach a point first or collect fruits before someone else. It isn't as universally fun or accessible as, say, the minigames you'd find in a Mario Party title. It also doesn't feel like it is as much of a draw as the main Loop. I had the impression it was more of an optional "we had room for it, so here it is" inclusion. 

KarmaZoo has a noble goal, but the situational nature of things means the stars essentially need to align for things to work perfectly. You need to either get a good group of friends who all own the game together or hope your random session is filled with people who both are serious about working together and unlocked helpful characters. It's too easy for things to not be exactly ideal, and I'd say about two thirds of all my gameplay sessions were fine as a result.

KarmaZoo is available on the PS5, Switch, Xbox Series X, and PC.

nippon ichi software game

Nippon Ichi Software will release information on a new game on November 20, 2023. You'll be able to watch the new trailer from 8pm JST, which would be 3am PT/6am ET on November 20, 2023. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]

Nippon Ichi Software actually already teased this game. Back in Summer 2023, it uploaded a mysterious illustration with the words "coming soon" in the corner. This illustration is from the IP that Nippon Ichi Software will reveal next week. As for the illustration, it features a mysterious figure sitting at what looks like a bar. Though you can't see the character's face, there are horns protruding from their head. The background for the bar also features a pattern like multiple charts and clocks.

Since its founding in 1993 (technically starting in 1991 as Prism Kikaku), Nippon Ichi Software has released several popular RPG series. Arguably its most well-known series is Disgaea, and the most recent entry in the series, Disgaea 7, came out in earlier 2023. Other games from Nippon Ichi Software include Yomawari: Night Alone and Void Terrarium

Nippon Ichi Software will reveal a new game on November 20, 2023. The trailer for only be about two minutes long and it'll premier on the company's YouTube channel.

     Super Mario Rpg Remake Gp 4Super Mario RPG is getting an exciting remake for the Nintendo Switch. The idea of a Mario RPG may be pretty absurd to most people, and they may be wondering how long it would take to complete. If you find yourself wondering the same thing, then I've got the answer for you. How long does it take to beat Super Mario RPG? RPG games typically take a long time to complete, and that's even ignoring the litany of side quests that add an extra 100 hours. Then again, even your average Super Mario games takes quite some time to beat. With shorter entries, like Super Mario Wonder, clocking in an average of 9 hours to longer entries, like Super Mario Galaxy 2, boasting around 14 hours. And both of those time averages isn't taking any extra content into consideration. Image via Nintendo Super Mario RPG, then, combining two pretty lengthy ideas, does have a lot of content to get through. Different sites and sources have a pretty wild range ...

     Baldur's Gate 3 can now go well beyond the DnD leveling limits

Baldur's Gate 3 stops leveling you well before the official Dungeons and Dragons level cap. The Larian RPG has its reasons for cutting you off before this limit, but what if you could go far beyond this for no other reason than you want to? Will it be balanced, fair, or even make sense? No, probably not, but the opportunity is here with this brand-new BG3 mod.

November 18, 2023 We've had another look around for any new Southwest Florida codes, with one expected around the REVAMP update.

What are the current Southwest Florida codes? In this RPG, you can become whoever you want to be.

What are the newest Murder Mystery codes? Roblox games rarely throw up an intense experience as is offered by MM2, a game where you could be saddled with one of three roles; the murderer, a bystander, or the sheriff. The murderer has to, well, murder. The bystanders have to avoid the wrath of said murderer, and the sheriff has to figure out, and eliminate, the bad person.

This Roblox game is more cerebral than most, which means that while you'll rely on your wits most of the time, it never hurts to have a helping hand in the form of some freebies. MM2 codes are difficult to come by these days, but they are released every once in a while when a big update drops. If you're after other gifts, we have Project Mugetsu codes, and Blox fruit codes here.

     Haze Piece codes November 2023

November 18, 2023: We looked for new Haze Piece codes for the Dough update.

What are the new Haze Piece codes? Like many Roblox experiences, Haze Piece is inspired by the popular One Piece anime. If you aspire to become the king of the pirates, then you can get a head start by typing in some codes for free race spins, gems, and even some stat refunds if you fancy changing things up a bit.

There are several other anime-inspired Roblox games out there, with the most popular ones at the moment giving away loads of free stuff via codes. We have regularly updated lists for Peroxide codes, Blox Fruits codes, and Project Slayers codes, among many others. For now, though, let's run through the Haze Piece codes and the rewards on offer.

     GPO codes November 2023

November 18, 2023: We looked for new GPO codes.

What are the new GPO codes? We've got the lot! Often topping the charts when it comes to anime-inspired Roblox adventures, Grand Piece Online codes are becoming increasingly rare, making them all the more valuable with each new update. They're a great way to keep ahead of the competition or, if you're new, make an immediate dent in the world. They're also good for getting secondary characters over the starting hurdles. But they expire fast.

Released in 2021, Grand Piece Online still sees hundreds of thousands of eager pirates and marines flock to its shores every day. And although there's certainly no shortage of Roblox adventures inspired by the One Piece anime and manga, this one still closely competes with the biggest and best. For those, you'll want to check out Blox Fruits codes and King Legacy codes. For the latest competitors to the throne, Pixel Piece codes are proving popular, with Anime Souls Simulator codes and Anime Dimensions codes offering a more varied anime experience.

     Fishing Simulator codes November 2023

November 18, 2023: We had another look for Fishing Simulator codes.

What are the latest Fishing Simulator codes? Get the best gear and take to the seas to catch fish, hunt sharks, uncover sunken ships, and explore islands for treasure. In order to customize your aquarium, you need to get ahead of the competition, and that means redeeming a code to get some bonus gold, shards, and gems.

Sometimes, these Roblox games release codes relatively infrequently, but there are plenty of alternatives out there that have their own set of codes, such as Blox Fruits codes, Fruit Battlegrounds codes, and Anime Champions Simulator codes. We've even got Blade Ball codes for one of the hottest Roblox games on the platform. For now, though, here's what's going on with Fishing Simulator codes.

     Evade codes November 2023

November 18, 2023: We looked around for any new Evade codes.

What are the current Evade codes? If you're a fan of horror-based Roblox games, then you may want to check out Evade. You need to flee from the pursuing image files before they catch you. These terrifying images take many forms, including Freedy Fazbear, Sans, and even the Angry Videogame Nerd. The better you perform, the more currency you can get to buy items to help you in the next game.

As a horror game with no gacha system, there aren't all that many new Evade codes. After monitoring the game for some time, we've not seen any new codes in quite some time, but you may miss out when they are announced. There are plenty of other Roblox games that do have codes, so you might want to grab some free stuff by entering Project Slayers codes, Striker Odyssey codes, and Motorcycle Mayhem codes in-game.

     Elemental Dungeons codes November 2023

November 18, 2023 We checked for new codes and moved four expired codes into the correct section.

What are the latest Elemental Dungeons codes? As one of the hottest new Roblox games, many players are discovering their innate magical abilities for the first time by exploring dungeons filled with gold to plunder, and gargantuan boss fights to battle against. You can use your sword, but the best techniques are all magical in nature.

So, if you want to be the envy of your friends in this hack-and-slash Roblox adventure, you can use gems to summon new abilities to make short work of your foes. Elemental Dungeons is quite similar to many anime-inspired Roblox games, including separate code lists for Anime Champions Simulator codes, Blox Fruits codes, and Fruits Battlegrounds codes, which are just some of the most popular ones out there.

Yohane the Parhelion Review

As a massive fan of Love Live, imagine my surprise when a 2D action game featuring the series' beloved chuunibyo Yohane Tsushima from Aqours called Yohane the Parhelion -Blaze in the Deepblue- was announced. Even more baffling was the fact that it was going to be made by Inti Creates, the creative minds behind the Gunvolt series of games. While this is my first time playing an Inti Creates game, I'm delighted to say that I enjoyed my time with it. I also suspect that those who love Metroidvanias and don't know a thing about Love Live, Yohane the Parhelion -Blaze in the Deepblue- will find it delivers a gameplay experience that can be enjoyed regardless of whether you're an idol or Metroidvania fan.

The explanation as to how the high-school-girl-turned-butt-kicking-fortune-teller Yohane and her friends ended up in this dungeon isn't outright explained at the very beginning. It's the core mystery of this game. What you do know is that the other members of Aqours have been kidnapped, and it's your job to help Yohane find them with her trusty canine friend Lailaps. After each comically large boss is killed, you'll gain one more friend to aid you in your quest to save all of them.

The story takes a pretty massive backseat here, to be honest. The gameplay is where it's at. You're thrown into the action as soon as you arrive. Yohane certainly wastes no time defeating enemies and traversing each area to round up her friends. If you're already into Love Live, this headstrong aspect of her character shouldn't come as a surprise to you. She should sound familiar too. Aika Kobayashi's voice performance as Yohane is, once again, outstanding. In fact, all of the voice actors did a fantastic job selling their character's individuality, charisma, and humor in this fully voiced adventure.

I would say that if you're already familiar with this crew of characters, you will get more out of small references, such as Ruby's cotton candy shield or Hanamaru's "Mirai Zura" laptop explosion. However, if those words mean nothing to you, you'll likely still have a fun learning about each girl's abilities and how they influence the game. For those who love Love Live, there's enough here that it'll be a nostalgic, feel-good experience for you as you see each character's interactions with Yohane. As a fan, I thought that there was a little left to be desired, however I did appreciate hearing some Aqours music.

Still, if you really don't care about or have never watched Love Live, I still wholeheartedly believe that you can still enjoy the game. It is a solid Metroidvania first and foremost. Each character interaction is tied to a gameplay element, like map progression and character upgrades, so there isn't a lot of fluff that will distract you. Plus, these story segments are rare in general and rarely interrupt your exploration.

There are nine different characters to switch between, with each offering a different ability that can help you progress deeper into the dungeon and gain the upper hand in battle. These characters include the other eight members of Aqours and Lailaps. In my experience, I felt that each character had time to shine. Yes, I used characters like Dia, Riko, and Hanamaru more often, as they are particularly strong against enemies, but I can't think of a single character that was shelved. Plus, the pixel animations of the girls using their newfound powers looked very cute and charming. I especially liked the added touch of Hanamaru's dizziness when she spin-dashes her way into a wall, Sonic the Hedgehog-style.

Yohane can learn a bunch of new abilities for herself, and each character gets their own extra scenes and treasure to hunt for to unlock their unique upgrade. Double-jumping and climbing walls as Yohane is especially helpful when it comes to fully exploring the dungeon. It was extremely satisfying to defeat bosses, unlock more girls, and then backtrack to use their help to enter areas that were previously blocked off before.

If you love using a variety of weapons and armor, you're in luck. In addition to upgrading characters, there is a plethora of weapons to cast (craft) for Yohane. I had a blast testing out new ones whenever I had the chance.

Which was helpful, as I found there were times when this game was a bit of a challenge. There is no difficulty slider, after all. However, with some retrying, analyzing attack patterns, and perhaps a little grinding to stock up on buffs and healing items, I found it manageable. Just know that I opened nearly all of the hidden chests in the dungeon and still had to grind for money to be able to clear the final boss. This was even after I feel I created the best build for Yohane I possibly could by unlocking each equipment slot and giving her the best items. The final boss will test your knowledge of the girls' abilities, since they will all need to be used properly to defeat it. That being said, I still felt that the difficulty of the entire game ramped up in a way that wasn't surprising and felt natural.

Yohane the Parhelion -Blaze in the Deepblue- is a solid Metroidvania experience full of pleasant surprises that will delight seasoned veterans of both the genre and Love Live fans. With plenty to explore and discover, this game is well worth your time and dollar.

Yohane the Parhelion -Blaze in the Deepblue- is available on the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PCs via Steam.

     Cirrus In Honkai Star RailIf you've come across Cirrus, a boss part of the Xianzhou Luofu faction, then you may think that her voice is rather familiar. You're not alone, as many others have tried to answer this call. Unfortunately, not one person can agree on who the voice actor for Cirrus actually is. There are many potential VAs for Cirrus in Honkai Star Rail Someone finally spoke up about the matter on the Honkai Star Rail Subreddit.
