But 2023's best Warhammer game, for my money, is Warhammer 40k Boltgun, a romping boomer shooter packed with pixel-art Chaos Marines and daemons galore.

PCGamesN Friday, January 12, 2024 12:07 PM  Looking at the virtual reality gaming landscape right now, it's hard not to be excited about what the future holds. We're long past the point of it being just a gimmick thanks to multiple triple-A releases, and the Pimax Crystal is a product that is only for that hardcore VR crowd who will want to play every experience using the best equipment possible. If you can look past a nauseating price point, the quality it has is unmatched by any VR experience you can buy right now. I don't mean to highlight its price as a negative, because the Pimax Crystal is a premium piece of hardware that was made without compromises to reduce its price or target a wider audience. Simply put, the Pimax Crystal is one of the best VR headsets you can buy right now and has the most stunning display, with no one else coming close. I would just be cautious in recommending it to anyone who isn't familiar with the hobby and wants to exercise caution over the cash they're willing to spend.

PCGamesN Friday, January 12, 2024 12:04 PM  What are the available Palworld jobs? While we have incredible animals like giraffes and elephants roaming around doing absolutely nothing, it's fair to say they could contribute something to society. In Palworld, Pals are used to benefit local communities by generating electricity or mining ore, doing things that need to be done. No matter how big or small the Pal is, if there's something that needs doing, you can be sure the best creature is on the job. In this utopian Palworld society, Pals have more work to do than most humans. Remember, some of the creatures in the Palworld Paldeck are capable of breathing fire, creating electricity, and spitting huge amounts of water, they're beasts capable of performing miracles.

PCGamesN Friday, January 12, 2024 10:58 AM  When is the Monster Hunter Wilds release date? With the recent resurgence of Monster Hunter World and Rise in late 2023, there's naturally a bit of a buzz regarding the first sixth-generation Monster Hunter. The first trailer had a hunter riding his bird friend as they desperately tried to escape a horde of armored beasts like Simba weaving between the stampeding wildebeest in The Lion King. However, this tease is all we're getting for now, and we will be waiting a long time to play Monster Hunter Wilds. That said, we're already seeing some big changes to the RPG game series, not least of which is the sheer level of mobility the mount offers. With the power offered by new-generation consoles, perhaps this will be the first in the series to properly embrace a fully open-world game concept.

The same seems true for Reigns: Three Kingdoms, the latest in the decision-making story series, which arrived on PC (and Switch) yesterday after a year exclusive to Netflix's inexplicable library of mobile games. Once again, you will decide the fate of a kingdom (this time, China) by swiping left or right on binary decisions.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, January 12, 2024 12:38 PM  Crystal Story: Dawn of Dusk is a combination of words that screams "predatory mobile fantasy RPG" but that's very much not my takeaway from the game's demo. Out tomorrow on Steam for free, this first instalment in the Crystal Story series blends the cuddly feel of a 16-bit Zelda with the dream logic of a Yume Nikki. There's a splash of Undertale's crackpot experimentalism to the writing and certain battles, as well. Those are big comparisons to invoke, and I don't expect Crystal Story to measure up to them. But it's a lot better than I was expecting from a game whose title had me picturing microtransaction-sodden levelling systems and a pouty elf in a bikini. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, January 12, 2024 12:35 PM  Readers, I have good news and bad news. Good news. My mum got me an incredible hot chocolate maker for Christmas this year, as well as a jumbo-sized box of grated chocolate sachets to use with it. It is, quite honestly, one of the best presents she's ever given me, and it now means I can have perfect hot chocolate, practically on tap, in as little as three minutes. Hotel Chocolat's Velvetiser, you're an absolute beauty. Honestly, it is so much better than anything I could make, or have made, myself. It's fast, easy, wonderfully smooth and properly delicious hot chocolate. Crucially, the machine itself is also dead simple to clean. Gone are the days I have to worry about washing up a pan of semi-encrusted milk afterwards, or faffing about with how many teaspoons of hot chocolate powder to plonk in because I accidentally coughed and sent half of it flying all over the counter. Bad news. This recent revelation of such effortless, technological ease has instantly kneecapped any excitement or desire I might have had for Kitfox Games' new tea brewing sim they announced at the tail end of last year, or indeed any other kind of drink-based simulation game (of which there seem to be an increasing number of these days). Whereas before I might have revelled in the step-by-step process of making a perfect hot drink, I have now been fully converted to the ways of instant button pressing and time-saving efficiency. After all, why dwell on the manual minutiae when machinery is king? |

While the Las Vegas tech megashow is probably the closest thing PC gaming hardware has to an E3 (and in some ways surpasses it, given CES still exists), this year's event has been characterised by an all-too-credulous obsession with AI nonsense. Not the fun/useful DLSS kind that makes your games run faster – more the kind that replaces actual creative work with dubiously-sourced robot media. Icky stuff, even by Vegas standards. Mercifully, not everyone was there to flog Stable Diffusion boxes and imaginary ChatGPT friends, so there is actually some interesting new kit to look forward to in 2024. I've rounded up the highlights here, along with some of the more questionable AI-based showings – because they may well merit discussion, even if that discussion amounts to "Is this a good idea?" followed by "No." |

KEMCO RPGs can get a bad rap sometimes, due to things like how often they come up, how some look like they're made with RPG Maker software, and a few being titles that rely heavily on JRPG tropes. Metro Quester, a KEMCO title developed by Thousand Games, is something rather unique, and it's one of the most special games from the company I've played.
Going into Metro Quester, it's important to note that it isn't a typical "save the world" JRPG. It isn't bright and colorful, filled with NPCs and towns. It's a far more streamlined and driven experience. The world basically ended, with people heading into the ruins of Tokyo to search for food and resources as long as the Purification Fuel will allow them to explore down in this new "dungeon" with the monsters. You'll go in knowing you need to get 100 fuel each week to keep going, checking established food cites and moving to discovered campsites in places like Otemachi and Ginza, and surviving monster encounters until you're forced to return to camp, regroup, and try again.
To help enforce the fact that circumstances are dire, the only color comes from the characters themselves. Each one is based on art from Bastard creator Kazushi Hagiwara. Their equipment and role determines their skills. The action points for each action determine which can be used in battle, since you can only set up to five points worth of actions and each ability can only be used once. You can only level up when at an established camp after having earned enough experience during a run and if you have enough resources.
The Action Points and battle system is fascinating. So say my Mobile Police Gotz could use the Stronghold ability for two points to raise everyone's defense by one, his Kicking Mitt shield has a one point Iron Wall action to raise his defense by two, and I could have him use Vanguard for one AP to draw enemies' Hate and be more likely targeted that round. That accounts for all his actions one turn. You set all actions before any turn begins, which means you could essentially set an auto-battle for an entire fight. Once everyone's up-to-three actions are locked in, you start the round and watch as it all plays out without further input. Since some people, like the Professor with bombs that require energy loading, batteries, and explosives, and the Buddhist that needs medicines for the three-action-point healing prayer, require adjusted actions each turn, it does become about strategy and choosing when to act.
Every adventure starts in Tokyo, with the mandate that you need to get 100 food within seven days to keep going. You then explore a completely uncharted dungeon, with areas revealing themselves as you walk up to them. Some are dirt-covered patches, which you can dig through. You may find ruins with food or monster nests with food, items, or additional monsters. Keys can come up as you explore, allowing you to open doors to new parts of ruins. Happening upon campgrounds allows you to sacrifice some food to move your base camp hub, so you can start from that spot next time to reach new areas. Fighting monsters drops food, and getting to new locations may mean extra resources.
It means that every time you head into Metro Quester, you're making the sorts of decisions you might not normally encounter in KEMCO RPGs or JRPGs. Do you go to established spots where you found food before or chart new areas? That enemy icon is red, showing it's a stronger and more dangerous one than a blue one. Do you approach it? Do you go to a different camp or stay where you are? If you happened to find new weapons, do you equip them or use them to modify some other piece of equipment you're using because you appreciate its skills? I constantly asked myself exactly how comfortable I was pushing my limits each time.
Also, there's a satisfying challenge in Metro Quester that isn't present in some of the other KEMCO RPGs I've played. It gives me the same sense of satisfaction as Dungeon Encountersand Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection, two other "demanding" Switch games I love. Especially since the game auto-saves. You can't undo your decisions. You have to live with your choices and hope you made the right ones that won't result in you eventually failing because you weren't properly managing your resources, equipment, and time.
If someone does like other KEMCO RPGs and JRPGs that are more story-focused though, Metro Quester probably won't be a good fit. You aren't getting to really know your party of characters and dealing with established individuals as you go through a rich story. This is about survival. It's about making your party and characters your own as you determine which equipment makes them most effective, who will be the most useful on your runs, and decide which people need to be with you or left behind.
If someone were to ask me which KEMCO games to play, Metro Quester would not just be on that list. It would absolutely be somewhere near the top of it. While the nature of it means it isn't going to be for everyone who typically goes for every KEMCO RPG, it's a really special and challenging experience that makes you think about all your actions.
Metro Quester is available on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. Quester is available on the PC via Steam.

There seem to be three different types of fortunes that players can request to have read, and one of them has the effect of increasing the chance of encountering rare enemies when exploring Tartarus.
The Aohige Pharmacy and Police Station allow players to purchase recovery items and equipment respectively. Shinshoudo Antiques has been renamed to Mayoido Antiques. At the antique shop, players can transform Personas into powerful equipment, and exchange materials found on Tartarus for useful items or skill cards. Be Blue V allows players to reorganize party members Persona skills. In Persona 3 and P3FES, Be Blue V was an accessory store, and a healing store that improve character conditions from tired to great in P3P.
The trailer also features the Iwatodai Station food court, where players can participate in eating challenges at Wild-Duck Burger, or enjoy ramen at the Hagakure restaurant. Players can also hang out with Social Link characters at various Paulownia Mall and Iwatodai food court locations to progress in their stories.

Nintendo announced that the Golden Sun games will be coming to Nintendo Switch Online. Both of the GBA games will be added as part of the Expansion Pack tier on January 17, 2024.
Golden Sun originally released for the Game Boy Advance in 2001. It was developed by Camelot Software Planning, best known for their work on Mario Golf and Mario Tennis, as well as developing the Shining Force series with Sega. Golden Sun featured a group of teenagers with magical powers known as Adepts. Its sequel, Golden Sun: The Lost Age was released in 2002 in Japan and 2003 in North America and Europe. It featured the antagonists of the first game as its protagonists.
The Golden Sun series is highly praised, considered by many to be some of the best RPGs ever made. As well as their original release, both games have previously appeared on the Virtual Console for the Wii U eShop. The first game's protagonist, Isaac, also made an appearance in the Super Smash Bros series as an Assist Trophy. A third game in the series, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, released for the DS in 2010. This game has not been re-released on any other Nintendo system.
Like other GBA games, the Golden Sun games will be releasing as part of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service. Other GBA games released for the service so far have included the Super Mario Advance series and Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.
Both Golden Sun GBA games will be released for Nintendo Switch Online on January 17, 2024.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon has gone the way of the RPG, adding in a new leveling system that works in tandem with jobs that can be assigned to individual characters. Naturally, some characters excel in areas where others do not. That is why I've broken down what are the best jobs in Yakuza: Like a Dragon for each character are. This will include the secret character that can only be obtained through the Ichiban Confectionary business management minigame and party members found at the end. Please keep in mind there will be some major spoilers going forward. Best Jobs For Your Party Members in Yakuza: Like a Dragon
Best Jobs for Ichiban KasugaThe protagonist and hero of the story, Ichiban is arguably at his best when using the Hero job. It is unlocked through basic story progression, and you'll know once you've unlocked it since Ichiban will be carrying around his signature bat from them on. What makes the Hero job so great for Ichiban? Well, the best weapon for this class adds additional hits onto Ichiban's normal attacks. Reserving MP can really make a difference in specific boss fights, so allowing Ichiban to get in those extra hits without any MP cost makes it invaluable. The Hero Job also has the Hero's Vigor skill, which can potentially revive a fallen ally and is unlocked at level 8. This, combined with other healing skills that are unlocked as you level up this job, make him a great supporter. However, if you want to mix it up, Ichiban also makes a great Breaker. The Breaker provides a great lineup of buffs that will affect your entire team, which makes it quicker to deal out or mitigate damage. In addition, Essence of the Rolling Mixer has a chance to remove all debuffs applied to Ichiban and Essence of Breaknight Dance has the chance to restore all of a party member's HP. It is not advised that you assign any kind of "tanking" role, like the Enforcer, to Ichiban, since you never want him to be taking the brunt of enemy attacks. Why is that? Well, when Ichiban goes down, you immediately fail an encounter. This means that your total yen will be halved or you'll need to start a dungeon over if you're not willing to fork over enough cash to respawn. Best Jobs for NanbaNanba will shine as a "black mage" or offensive caster. The Fortuneteller and Host Jobs work great with Nanba's high magic stat. Both the Fortuneteller and Host can apply debuffs to enemies while dealing devastating area of effect damage with their respective Essence skills. So even when you take him into combat against enemies that resist debuffs like Cold, Charm, or Burned, you can still rely on him to dish out some decent damage. An ideal support class for Nanba is the Musician, which is a hybrid offensive and healing Job. The Musician can heal over time and deal both physical and magical damage with specific skills. It is great for boss fights that deal loads of damage and, combined with Nanba's Character Level skills like Healing Powder and Healing Bolus, it makes up for the raw healing power the Musician lacks. Best Jobs for Koichi AdachiAdachi's best job, hands down, is the Enforcer. Combined with his Slick Tongue skills, Adachi can draw the attention of enemies away from more vulnerable party members. The Enforcer specializes in defense, with most of the passive stat boosts the Job gains from leveling up allotted to either defense or HP. Adachi can be assigned other jobs, but they don't really stand out when compared to how effective the Enforcer is. Even if you can't draw the attention away from enemies (as some bosses are immune to the Enrage status effect), skills like Paralysis Prongs can stun an enemy, giving you enough time to recover if the status ends up sticking.
Best Jobs for Saeko MukodaUnfortunately, the best job for Saeko in Yakuza: Like a Dragon is the Idol. While you can assign her other jobs like Night Queen or even the Matriarch if you've purchased the DLC, her natural healing stat is the best in the game. You can't get very far in Yakuza: Like a Dragon without a proficient healer and, while you could argue that Nanba can make up for the difference with his Character Level skills, Saeko can really make or break fights. It can be devastating when she goes down, so make sure to protect her so she can keep your party topped off. Best Jobs for Joon-gi HanJoon-gi starts with arguably one of the best jobs in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Hitman does an amazing job of dealing damage, and I suggest just keeping him in that role once he joins your party. You can absolutely cheese some fights with this job, since his skills can hit more than one enemy at a time and deal loads of damage. This is great for boss fights in the late game and in the Underground Arena. In addition, his skills can exploit enemies' weaknesses, so all in all he's probably one of the best damage dealers in the game. You'll want to swap out Nanba for him if you're struggling in a fight. You can also assign him the Enforcer job, if you'd rather have him taking hits for your party instead of Adachi, but again, he really works best as a damage dealer. However, he can shoulder this role too if you just want him around and aren't really interested in swapping to Adachi in battles. Best Jobs for Tianyou ZhaoAnother incredible damage dealer, Tianyou Zhao shines as a Gangster. Tianyou starts with this job and excels at it. He has one of the highest attack stats in the game, so keeping him on the offensive is the best course of action. His Essence skills will also hit all enemies on the field, dealing an absurdly large amount of damage. It can make some group encounters quick work. However, similar to Joon-gi, you will get him extremely late in the game. Which is a shame, since he quickly becomes an invaluable member of your party. So much so that I had difficulties deciding on who I wanted to take with me into combat immediately. Thankfully, you don't really have to choose, since you can swap party members freely during combat. Like Ichiban, you can assign Tianyou the Breaker job if you're not interested in keeping him as a Gangster. Due to his high attack stat he can dish out damage quickly and efficiently as a Breaker and provide a bit of support to your team. Paired with his high attack stat and the agility of the Breaker, Tianyou can usually attack faster than the enemy. This makes random encounters quicker even with auto-battle on. Best Jobs for Eri KamatakiThe secret party member, Eri Kamataki, unlike Saeko in that she excels in dealing damage. You can assign her the Idol job too, but her natural healing stat isn't as high as Saeko's. Similar to Tianyou and Joon-gi, one of her best jobs in Yakuza: Like a Dragon is the one she starts with: the Clerk. The Clerk deals great slashing damage and the best weapon for it allows her to ignore the opponent's defense. If you're looking for an offense-based female party member, Eri will fill that role nicely. She also deals some great damage with the Night Queen job. The Night Queen specializes in single-target attacks, but she can provide some support with the Essence of Titillating Claws that can restore an ally's HP. Similar to the Musician, the Night Queen is more of a hybrid class that can deal physical and magic damage. Assigning this Job to Eri will put her in more of a supportive role. Best Job Combinations in Yakuza: Like a DragonCertain jobs are most certainly better than others in Yakuza: Like a Dragon, with some party members able to carry you well into the late hours of the game. Below we've listed some of the best job combinations. Keep in mind there will be some mainstays here just because of how strong they are.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon is immediately available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC. You can check out our review of Yakuza: Like a Dragon here.

Atlus and Vanillaware's latest Unicorn Overlord gameplay trailer focuses on going over how liberating regions by exploring them will work. It's framed as an information lecture by former Kingdom of Cornia Holy Knight Josef for former Cornian Prince Alain.
The main focus is overworld exploration with the Liberation Army. During the game, players will go to different areas in Fevrith, dealing with enemies, improving their army, and preparing to face the Empire of Zenoira. Quests involve helping people in the area to gradually liberate it and take part in battle stages for rewards. There will also be Settlements that can be freed by taking part in battles. When you do this, you can then gain the help of those people and visit their stores. It's also possible to invest in the towns and forts to improve them.
Here's the "Josef's Guide to Exploration" Unicorn Overlord trailer showing off gameplay and what it's like to explore and liberate regions.
We've seen lots of Unicorn Overlord screenshots ahead of the game's debut too. Some of them showed off the different allies we'll encounter, as well as story segments and fights with them. Others went over the relationship-building elements, as players will build up a rapport with the members of their army and see how working together will improve different people's performance.
Unicorn Overlord will come to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X on March 8, 2024.

Kadokawa Game Linkage released the Game Sword Art Online 10th Anniversary Official Design Works book. It marks the tenth anniversary of the video game series based on Reki Kawahara's light novel, which started with the Japan-exclusive PSP entry Infinity Moment in March 2013.
Despite the title, this book only covers games that were released between 2018 and 2023. This is because Kadokawa had already published the 5th Anniversary Official Design Works book in March 2018, which covered titles released in the first five years.
The 10th-anniversary book contains key visuals of the games and artwork of game-original characters. It features titles from all kinds of platforms ranging from consoles and mobile to arcades. The console games featured here are Fatal Bullet, Alicization Lycoris, and Last Recollection. It also includes the arcade game Deep Explorer, which ran from 2019 to 2023. Kadokawa completes the list with mobile games like Memory Defrag, Integral Factor, Unleash Blading, and Variant Showdown.
The 456-page book also includes special interviews in Japanese. Other than a single interview with the series author Reki Kawahara, there is also a three-way discussion between Bandai Namco's game producer Yousuke Futami, Aniplex's anime producer Masami Niwa, and the editor Kazuma Miki. Each interview is six pages long.
This book is available for purchase physically and digitally. But while the digital version is available via BookWalker, only people who are physically residing in Japan are able to purchase it. People living outside Japan can instead buy the physical book via Amazon Japan at ¥4,950 (~$34) while its stocks last.
The Game Sword Art Online 10th Anniversary Official Design Works book is now available for purchase.

The trailer features Alisa facing off against Lars Alexandersson, referencing her debut as his sidekick in the Scenario Campaign of Tekken 6. She shows off her trademark chainsaw arms and explosive punches.

While the entire base roster for Tekken 8 has been revealed, each character will still be receiving an individual trailer showing off their moveset. Lee Chaolan, Zafina and Devil Jin are the only characters left to receive trailers.
Here is a full list of every other trailer released so far:

Usada Pekora is a VTuber who made her debut in July 2019. As of January 12, 2024, she is the third most-followed Hololive VTuber after Gawr Gura and Houshou Marine at around 2.41 million subscribers.
In late December 2023, Pekora notably won a ¥500,000 (~$3,500) bet for the final race of her favorite horse Titleholder. She received a payout of more than three times worth the bet at ¥1,650,000 (~$11,600) as a result.
FREEing will officially release its 1/4 scale figure of Usada Pekora in March 2024. Good Smile Company and AmiAmi will ship the figure internationally in August 2024.

HoYoVerse announced the release date for the Honkai Impact 3rd 7.2 update that brings the Fu Hua battlesuit and more events. It will launch on January 18, 2024.
We already knew about the Fenghuang of Vicissitude battlesuit for Fu Hua. A past trailer showed some cinematic and gameplay footage of the S-rank suit. The latest reveal during the update showcase noted it is also a BIO type that deals Fire DMG to opponents when in its two different stances.
While there's no story update here, as it is preparing more for Part 2 in February 2024, there are some events on the way. One is Wild Phoenix Chase with Fu Hua and Senti, which includes a Reverist Calico Pardofelis costume. Another is the interlude The Star Which the Moon Gazes Upon. That's paving the way to 7.3 and part 2. It will star newcomers Coralie and Helia. However, we'll also see Bronya, Durandal, and Kiana during it as they teach them.
Here's the new 7.2 The Wings to Mars Honkai Impact 3rd update trailer showing off the battlesuit and going over the new activities coming in this patch. At the 1:38 mark we get to see the Tonight's My Time costume for Shigure Kira's Sugary Starburst battlesuit. Things close out at 1:43 with a tease of things to come in 7.3 following the interlude with Coralie and Helia.
Honkai Impact 3rd is available for PCs and mobile devices, and the release date for the 7.2 update is January 18, 2024.
