If you've only casually passed by an Elder Scrolls game you might assume they're pretty generic. Swords, elves, goblins, orcs, dragons, all stuff the fantasy world has seen a million times before. It takes a while to get to know that the Elder Scrolls series is weird. Seriously weird. I was able to ask narrative director Bill Slavicsek and loremaster Michael Zenke how ESO keeps that weird flag flying.

     Is Homeworld 3 Steam Deck compatible?

Is Homeworld 3 Steam Deck compatible? Real time strategy may not be the first genre that comes to mind when thinking of the Steam Deck, but Homeworld 3 performs surprisingly well. However, benchmarking and actual game testing yielded very different results that you need to be aware of.

Testing Homeworld 3 on the Steam Deck OLED was simple, in part due to the low system requirements set by developer Blackbird Interactive. In fact, I found that my time testing this game on Valve's handheld gaming PC was a far smoother experience than on PC.

What are the best Homeworld 3 settings for max fps? After a very long wait for fans, Homeworld 3 is finally here, and PC performance is good, but sadly it seems impossible to reach truly high frame rates regardless of the hardware your PC is packing.

Homeworld 3 is a game that largely leans upon your processor rather than your pixel pusher, meaning it's a good idea to equip yourself with one of the best gaming CPUs before taking flight into space.

I'm one of those people who needs a soundtrack to survive. It may be corny to walk down the street to the Fallout: New Vegas soundtrack thinking you're a post-apocalyptic courier but it feels cool. That's why rhythm games have always caught my attention and there's few as rhythm-y as Robobeat, a brand new rhythm roguelike which has just waltzed out onto Steam.

Samurai Warriors 4 DX PC

Koei Tecmo announced a surprise worldwide PC release via Steam for the Sengoku-period hack-and-slash game Samurai Warriors 4 DX. This version originally launched in Japan in 2019 for Switch and PS4 and served as a deluxe edition of the 2014 entry Samurai Warriors 4.

Samurai Warriors is the sister series to the longer running Dynasty Warriors games, though it is set in Japan's Sengoku period rather than China's Three Kingdoms era. As well as the usual story mode and Hero vs. Horde combat, the game also features mid-battle character switching and customizable player officers. As the deluxe edition of the original Samurai Warriors 4, the game boasts a roster of 55 characters and includes over 150 of the previously released DLC items like weapons and soundtracks. The latest game in the series, Samurai Warriors 5, is also available on Steam.

The official announcement tweet includes a launch trailer:

https://twitter.com/KoeiTecmoUS/status/1790366458285043890

Earlier in May 2024, Koei Tecmo announced a new figure of Ninja Gaiden protagonist Ryu Hayabusa as part of Kaiyodo's Revoltech line. Meanwhile, Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis players will soon be able to obtain crossover items based on Koei Tecmo and Gust's Atelier Ryza and Atelier Marie series.

Samurai Warriors 4 DX is now available on PC worldwide via Steam.

You'll be able to stay in rooms that focus on: My Melody, Hangyodon, Tuxedo Sam, Keroppi, Pochacco, Pekkle, and Badtz-Maru. Each room features wallpaper, sheet covers, and tables with the chosen character on them. The walls and furniture are also in the character's colors. For example, the Pekkle room is overwhelmingly yellow, while the Tuxedo Sam room is aggressively blue.

You can check out the rooms here:

You'll be able to take home some exclusive merchandise and amenities, including slippers, a tote bag, a handkerchief, and slippers. The hotel plan also includes a breakfast buffet in the hotel's restaurant, Sora. It doesn't look like there will be any Sanrio-related food items.

Sanrio tends to collaborate with hotels in Japan, releasing themed rooms and merchandise for a limited time. Earlier this year, the New Otani Hotel in Hakata announced that it will have two Sanrio collaboration rooms featuring Pompompurin.

Honkai Impact 3rd Lantern Concept Art Shared

When HoYoVerse launched the 7.4 version of Honkai Impact 3rd, it also introduced the Shu of Destruction Lantern as a boss. To help go over the design of the character, the company shared some insights, screenshots, and art looking at how she was made and her fight was constructed.

There are seven images total of Lantern and the area in which players fight her in Honkai Impact 3rd Part 2 that were shared. The first images were designed to give a sense of the space. It shows the Masquerade Corridor where people fight her, and how it was designed to look like both a dance hall and offer opportunities for her to attack both hand-to-hand with Taijutsu and from afar with guns. Images were also shared showing how she'll transition between melee and ranged attacks, with a note that she does need to pause to reload sometimes. The final image was her concept art, which was designed to show how she can be calm, but that she also fights fiercely, wholeheartedly, and without concern for herself. 

Here are all the HoYoVerse images shared that looked at the Shu of Destruction fight:

While Lantern is a boss in Honkai Impact 3rd at the moment, she will also be a playable character soon. When HoYoVerse announced the version 7.5 test server recruitment survey, it also teased participants will get access to the new battlesuit. That is Lone Destruction: Shadowchaser. It is the first one for Lantern, making her the second playable member of the Seven Shus. (The first is Mad Pleasure: Shadowbringer Thelema

Honkai Impact 3rd is available on PCs and mobile devices. The 7.4 version is live, with the 7.5 one on the way.

Review: Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs Is OK

Competitive Pac-Man games aren't new. We even already saw a battle royale variant, appropriately enough called Pac-Man Battle Royale. Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs attempts to tap into that kind of market and formula again and, well, it's fine? It's absolutely okay. 

The concept behind Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs is basically Pac-Man with 64 people. You opt into a standard Elimination or Ranked mode, with the former being casual and the later involving leaderboard spots. After enough players are pulled together, you all head into the maze. Your goal is to go around, eating pellets and Power Pellets and chomping ghosts, as usual. 

However, during each round the gates between your maze and ones belonging to other players periodically open up, allowing you to invade. There will also be power-ups (or "bad" power-ups) that can float by and be caught (or banked) to make ghosts and other players dizzy, repel them, attract them, speed you up, and so on. The idea is to survive as long as possible, ideally being the last one standing to win. Doing so nets you experience, currency for cosmetics, and perhaps even a chance to place on the leaderboard in Ranked.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTVduE2KEjM&ab_channel=BandaiNamcoEntertainmentAmerica

Basically, it's Pac-Man. You know, the same old Pac-Man you know, only occasionally others can come into your maze to try and eat your avatar or you can run to another maze to avoid doom. There is even a life-system in play, so getting caught or eaten once isn't an immediate "game over." One of the power-ups even gives you an extra heart.

What I appreciated are some of the unintentional pitfalls that can occur and keep you on your toes. For example, getting a Power Pellet only makes you master of your own maze for a limited time. Head to another maze and chomping those ghosts in that state will kill you dead. If you're not keeping track of round times and heading for a gate to invade another maze when cornered by other players or ghosts, then it can suddenly shut and bar your way, leaving you susceptible.

However, unfortunately for the most part, Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs is only just okay. The cosmetics included in it aren't terribly exciting. When I first started, I had access to googly-eye glasses and a Klonoa hat, and I never felt a need to deviate from either one. Likewise, while some of the other maze options were fine, I didn't feel compelled to work toward earning money for specific designs. The default maze was all I needed. The game works fine. If you like basic Pac-Man, it's fun enough. However, I didn't feel the same excitement I did with, say, Pac-Man Championship Edition DX. And since it doesn't have some of the elements I loved from other competitive Pac-Man games, like Pac-Man 99's Ghost Trains, I didn't feel there was the same sense of strategy. Sure, I could complete a mission objective like "invade 3 mazes" for a point bonus, but I cared more about just staying alive than earning a high score. It's not bad and I wouldn't be surprised if it all falls into place to meet some players' needs, but it didn't click with me.

The one thing I will say in its favor is that Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs at least never timed out or took forever to start due to a lack of players. It usually didn't take too long to find an Elimination Match. But then, I also did have cross-play on, so I wasn't only relying on people who owned the Nintendo Switch version. So at least the stability worked in favor of keeping progress steady.

Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs is rather boring. There's no adrenaline rush when I manage to make it into the final groups of players. The cosmetics are fine, but I didn't feel a drive to unlock specific maze designs or items for my Pac-Man. While it is designed to feel competitive, it seemed like more people I faced were more concerned with dealing with the ghosts and eating pellets, rather than gunning for the top spot in any way. I honestly had the most fun when I'd play through Elimination or Ranked like I would any other Pac-Man game, without engaging in maze invasions, which probably defeated the point of a battle royale.

Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs is available for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
