The XCOM series comprises some of the best strategy games on PC, yet its modern iterations of 2012's Enemy Unknown and 2016's XCOM 2 are a little different from the likewise excellent origins of X-COM in the '90s. Sticking more closely to those old games is Goldhawk Interactive's excellent Xenonauts 2, published by indie strategy house Hooded Horse. Its latest update, just released on Steam, brings some new threats to the battlefield, alongside a new way to help deal with them.

     Free Palworld update pushes Steam players up by 800%

Palworld was so much bigger than I remember. The survival game sold eight million copies in six days, peaked at well over two million concurrent Steam players, and took over three months to level out into any semblance of a dedicated playerbase. Even then, player counts have comfortably sat in the tens of thousands. This is why no one should be surprised that the new Sakurajima update has shot player counts into the sky, with the numbers still climbing.

Overwatch 2's move to 5v5 was huge. We lost a tank, sure, but we gained simpler games and much cleaner play. Suddenly every match was easier to follow, and the tank's role became that much more important. Players were massively concerned by the loss at the time though, and with Blizzard promising some big changes to tanks in the near future, debates around 6v6 have come back - and the development team has noticed.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is the Assassin's Creed game we've been dreaming of. For more years than I can count, players have been asking for a Japanese-set version of Ubisoft's flagship open-world series, desperate to take to tiled Pagoda rooftops and brutally murder enemies from above. Shadows delivers that in droves with female protagonist Naoe, the Shinobi whose vengeful path will leave a trail of bodies in its wake. When it comes to Yasuke the samurai, however, it feels like Ubisoft has just made its own, rustier version of Sucker Punch's 2020 epic, Ghost of Tsushima.

mari shimazaki bayonetta artist design pokemon scarlet violet fidough dachsbun miriam raifort

Mari Shimazaki, a character designer for Bayonetta, has revealed on her X (Twitter) account that she was the artist for Fidough in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. She also designed Dachsbun, Miriam, and Raifort.

https://twitter.com/marishimazaki/status/1806662918186188869?s=61

The Tweet acknowledges that she's very late with this reveal, as the games have been out for quite some time now. But she just cleared it yesterday thanks to all the detours she took. As well, she said it was a lot of fun filling in the map, and it was a very "healing" experience. The picture she drew shows Raifort and Miriam surrounded by multiple Fidoughs while a Dachsbun is at their feet. Aside from working as an artist for Bayonetta and her designs in Pokemon, Shimazaki also designed outfits for Soul Calibur V and characters in Okami.

Fidough and Dachsbun are the Scarlet and Violet games' versions of the cute canine Pokemon that appear rather early in the game. Other Pokemon from previous generations that fill this niche include Yamper, Rockruff, and Lillipup. Due to Fidough's cute design, it's appeared in multiple marketing campaigns and goods in the past. As for Raifort and Miriam, they're teachers at the academy the protagonist attends.

Since Pokemon Scarlet and Violet came out, multiple designers revealed their involvement with the game on their personal X (Twitter) accounts. For example, Yusuke Kozaki (who'd worked on character designers for Fire Emblem: Fates and No More Heroes), was the one who designed Cetoddle and Varoom. James Turner, who is a Game Freak artist, designed Tatsugiri and Dondozo.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are readily available on the Nintendo Switch.

SunnySide falls into the age-old trap of being a game that isn't quite ready for most players to jump into at this point. This ambitious farming sim and RPG contains an unbelievable amount of depth and systems, but every aspect of from the UI to how it plays undermines its promise.

If you've played games like Stardew Valley or Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town, you'll recognize the impetus for the plot. You move from the big city in Japan to a small town in the countryside to start over. Your highly customizable player character inherits an extremely empty piece of land to farm and build up to your liking.

How to romance characters and all gender preferences SunnySide
Screenshot by Siliconera

To SunnySide's credit, this game is about as freeing as it gets when it comes to the genre. You can truly make your character look like you or whoever you want due to so many aspects to tweak, from weight to facial features to hair to even gender identity. However, the 3D graphics look a bit bland, especially when it comes to character models. This is a shame, since the actual 2D character portraits look fantastic. That said, the welcome depth of customization helps to somewhat offset that. After all, your farm is a blank canvas to call your own. You can build every inch of your farm and house from a lowly tent to a burgeoning mansion. In this way, the game feels like a survival crafting experience, but this is only a sliver of the experiences SunnySide has to offer.

There is also the entire farming aspect, where players plant seeds, water them, and sell them to make cash to unlock more materials, buildings, gifts, and upgrades. If that isn't enough, there is even simplistic turn-based RPG combat. However, it feels like even more of an afterthought than similar battle systems in other games like Stardew Valley. You can go dozens of hours without really diving into the linear dungeons and straightforward fights. There is little depth to this outside of a few commands and the deck-like system of collecting different Ofuda for effects. Collecting Ofuda starts out fun, but the relatively breezy difficulty ensures it doesn't feel as necessary as it could. I wish the turn-based combat had more of a prominence in the overall progression of the game.

All of these different aspects are wrapped up in a smartphone-based interface, which feels intuitive. However, it is SunnySide's ambition that is also its downfall. While I am grateful to have so many different activities, none of them feel complete or worth diving into. A huge part of this comes from how poorly everything runs. This game is sometimes a challenge to play due to how it barely chugs along, especially in the outdoor, open-world areas. Yet it even takes its time loading and running at a snail's pace at times indoors as well. This could be because I spent most of my time on Steam Deck, where the frame rate is all over the place. To make matters worse, the frequent pop-ins and sluggish loading hurts it even more.

SunnySide Review
Image via Merge Games

To give it a fair shake, I booted SunnySide up on a beefier gaming PC. Unfortunately, it didn't fare much better there than on Steam Deck. It ran a little smoother in some areas, but still had major visual and performance hiccups. Without a doubt, this game has some of the most atrocious optimization I've seen in a while.

Sadly, the problems don't stop there. While the game has controller support, it doesn't work all that well. The general movement controls are fine and using tools feels acceptable, but the interface is a mess to deal with. Most of the menus use a cursor to deal with the menu, inventory, and even phone. It is pretty slow and imprecise, leading to me wasting more time in the menus than necessary. This is even worse when you consider how almost everything is in the phone menu, such as messages and even the world map.

However, there is one element that may never get a fix, and that is the romance system. Having 25 romanceable characters sounds impressive, but this hides some serious issues with dating in the game. Every character has a dating preference on the gender expression scale. This scale is what players use during character creation to determine their identity. Basically, you have a 10-point scale for masculinity, 10-point scale for femininity, and non-binary right in the middle. You can pick your gender identity anywhere along the spectrum, which is quite neat. However, there are some issues with this system, and that's mostly in it's execution.

Screenshot by Siliconera

Fall in love with Hanako, for example, but aren't feminine? So sorry, but you're out of luck. I think the idea of centering around this isn't inherently bad; after all, other farming sim series locked romances behind gender in the past. The problem is you have to research each character ahead of time to know their preferences, and there is no way to change your gender identity at this time once you've left the character creator. This actually feels ironically backwards in a way, since gender identity can be fluid and offering a way to change your gender identity within the game would let players experiment.

It is a shame, too, since the most joy I had with this game was speaking and hanging out with the characters. You can tell SunnySide's developer took notes from the Persona series. Each character has different levels to their friendship where you get to learn more about them. Some of the stories are pretty emotional, genuinely funny, and quite diverse.

The writing, in general, is actually quite brilliant. It just sucks that there is so much frustration with the controls, performance, and UI the vast majority of the time to get to that slim payoff. In the end, this makes SunnySide the epitome of "wait and see" early access title. It simply does too much from its survival mechanics to building to RPG combat to farming and relationships.

Screenshot by Siliconera

While there is so much to see here, rarely does anything work properly to make the experience feel worthwhile. I do believe there is a solid farming sim RPG in the making with SunnySide, but it could take a long time and plenty of updates to reach that potential. For now, I don't recommend giving it a look unless you're okay with quite a lot of grievances.

SunnySide is available right now on PCs via Steam.

Review: The Palace on the Hill Is Soothing

There are times when a game will fall into the farming or life sim categories, but might not exactly feel like it's totally about that. Rather, it might be about capturing a moment, setting the stage for an era, and giving the player a chance to feel what life might be like if they were a certain person growing up at a specific time. That's what The Palace on the Hill feels like. The Wholesome Direct 2024 shadowdrop is a soothing, low-pressure opportunity to feel what life is like for a teenager growing up in India, and it feels like it is about enjoying the moment and his story rather than really trying to min-max your life sim to earn a lot of cash or befriend people. 

Vir is a young man with a bright future. He's a talented artist. However, due to his family's farm having a bad year, he immediately finds himself farming himself and taking on odd jobs to help support his family during his summer vacation. It's while doing so that he runs into a former classmate named Savi. She's in town to investigate a palace and its ruins, hoping to find out secrets about its past and perhaps hidden fortunes. In so doing, we not only get to help Vir through his daily life as he earns money, but get to see how his relationship with Savi develops and learn more about the background of the town. 

The Palace on the Hill can feel like an adventure game that features some life simulation elements tossed into it, rather than a more dedicated farming sim. You'll need to go around town, farming, gathering items, crafting, running errands for people, and working at the tea shop to gather necessary materials and ingredients for various quests. By carrying out tasks and going through your mission checklist, you'll eventually grow closer to everyone around and learn more about the ruins and old kingdom. Naturally, along the way, you'll also find ways for Vir to earn money and succeed, which provides even more of a sense of accomplishment. From time to time, he'll also have tasks to do that involve drawing, which means getting inspiration as you explore. You don't need to worry about relationship values. You'll eventually earn the money you need. Just take in the moment.

The downside to it all is that The Palace on the Hill can feel a bit effortless. Yes, we know Vir's family is in dire need of money to keep going. Working is a priority. However, the actual gameplay doesn't feel stressful in any way, and sometimes it feels like things don't connect in the way they should. Farming feels a bit isolated, aside from a means of earning money. It's very barebones, so much that I didn't even feel like the watering can upgrade was necessary. The tea shop has some shop management elements, such as creating certain orders and making sure you are prepared for certain customers. However, I always had more than enough ingredients due to how plentiful foraging tended to be and there's no real challenge to it.

This is coupled with The Palace on the Hill occasionally feeling a bit clunky. The game looks fantastic and I didn't have any issues with it breaking or crashing. However, it doesn't always introduce concepts well. For example, farming is very easy to do, but since it doesn't work like other farming sims and isn't well explained it might take you a minute to learn how to plant and water crops for the first time. The same can happen the first time you're getting inspiration for one of Vir's paintings. It comes up a little, but I feel like it is more of a reminder this is an indie game from a newer developer, rather than a failing on Niku's part.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM1I5Ec0IqE&ab_channel=NikuGames

Especially since the team does a great job of ensuring other elements of The Palace on the Hill come together. The art direction is fantastic. I love the style of the game and the depiction of the town and its characters. It stays true to the area and time period, which is important. It's also quite a welcoming experience with clearly defined characters, ingredients, and goals, so it really compels you to keep going.

The Palace on the Hill feels like the sort of game where Niku Games wanted to tell a specific story, and the farming, shop management, and life sim mechanics surround it to propel you forward. They aren't taxing. They won't hold you back. However, they do provide a sense of ambiance and let you know what life might feel like for Vir in India at that time. You're experiencing a brief moment in his life, and I do mean brief as I finished in under eight hours. However, it definitely feels like your time is well-spent.

The Palace on the Hill is available for PCs.

fate/grand order azumi-no-isora

A new event, Dancing Dragon Castle: The Twin Jewels and the Deep Sea Princess, is available for a limited time on the Japanese server of Fate/Grand Order. Players will have until July 19, 2024 to pull for the new Alter Ego Servant Azumi-no-Isora (Hibiki & Chikagi).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0eNbuPChoI

During the Azumi-no-Isora banner in Fate/Grand Order, players also have the opportunity to pull for Summer Kiyohime again. As opposed to her Berserker form, Summer Kiyohime is an SR Servant who is a Lancer. As she was always in the gacha, Summer Kiyohime did not become available when Lasengle gave players the chance to buy past summer welfare Servants. For fans of the original Kiyohime, you can get a Spiritron Dress for her that makes her look like an undersea princess. The name of the outfit is literally Otohime Kiyohime, referencing the princess of Ryugu-jo. The only way to get this outfit is through event items.

You can check out the Noble Phantasms of both Azumi-no-Isora and Otohime Kiyohime here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiCp4BW4hAU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFSixWV7UHg

As for the new SSR Alter Ego Servant, Azumi-no-Isora, they're based on the Shinto kami of the same name. In Japanese mythology, Azumi-no-Isora was the god of the seashore and was the one to present Empress Jingu with a pearl from Ryugu-jo. Nowadays, Empress Jingu is a rather controversial ruler, as she led the Japanese to invade the "promised land," which is the Korean Peninsula today.

Fate/Grand Order is readily available on mobile devices. Azumi-no-Isora and Dancing Dragon Castle: The Twin Jewels and the Deep Sea Princess are only available on the Japanese server of Fate/Grand Order.

     Assassin's Creed Shadows is great, when you're an assassin

Assassin's Creed Shadows is the Assassin's Creed game we've been dreaming of. For more years than I can count, players have been asking for a Japanese-set version of Ubisoft's flagship open-world series, desperate to take to tiled Pagoda rooftops and brutally murder enemies from above. Shadows delivers that in droves with female protagonist Naoe, the Shinobi whose vengeful path will leave a trail of bodies in its wake. When it comes to Yasuke the samurai, however, it feels like Ubisoft has just made its own, rustier version of Sucker Punch's 2020 epic, Ghost of Tsushima.

Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail's launch queues have been nothing short of extraordinary.

     Elden Ring's DLC is too hard, but that's exactly how it should be

I grew up a Nintendo kid with an Xbox on the side to play Halo and Guitar Hero, but that all changed when FromSoftware released the original Demon's Souls on PS3 back in 2009. Discourse around the first Souls was a combination of criticism for the punishing difficulty and overall jankiness, mixed with plaudits for innovation - in an era of gaming defined by hand-holding tutorials, Demon's Souls was all about friction. That was enough to convince me, but after reaching the first boss I realized I made a mistake. Demon's Souls wasn't fun. It was needlessly cruel. Fifteen years later, this same complaint is being leveled at Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.

Finally, some decent weather round these parts. And I don't mean good weather, you perverse sun-lovers. I mean some real wind and rain to clear the air. Sitting at my desk next to the window, my eye keeps being caught by the hypnotic swaying of the treetops. It's quite magical, really. I might go for a walk later.

Just kidding. I'm superglued to my desk chair (thankfully it's a very comfy chair), and I'm ready for a weekend that's distinguishable from the weekdays only in name. Here's what we're all clicking on this weekend!

fate/grand order azumi-no-isora

A new event, Dancing Dragon Castle: The Twin Jewels and the Deep Sea Princess, is available for a limited time on the Japanese server of Fate/Grand Order. Players will have until July 19, 2024 to pull for the new Alter Ego Servant Azumi-no-Isora (Hibiki & Chikagi).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0eNbuPChoI

During the Azumi-no-Isora banner in Fate/Grand Order, players also have the opportunity to pull for Summer Kiyohime again. As opposed to her Berserker form, Summer Kiyohime is an SR Servant who is a Lancer. As she was always in the gacha, Summer Kiyohime did not become available when Lasengle gave players the chance to buy past summer welfare Servants. For fans of the original Kiyohime, you can get a Spiritron Dress for her that makes her look like an undersea princess. The name of the outfit is literally Otohime Kiyohime, referencing the princess of Ryugu-jo. The only way to get this outfit is through event items.

You can check out the Noble Phantasms of both Azumi-no-Isora and Otohime Kiyohime here:

As for the new SSR Alter Ego Servant, Azumi-no-Isora, they're based on the Shinto kami of the same name. In Japanese mythology, Azumi-no-Isora was the god of the seashore and was the one to present Empress Jingu with a pearl from Ryugu-jo. Nowadays, Empress Jingu is a rather controversial ruler, as she led the Japanese to invade the "promised land," which is the Korean Peninsula today.

Fate/Grand Order is readily available on mobile devices. Azumi-no-Isora and Dancing Dragon Castle: The Twin Jewels and the Deep Sea Princess are only available on the Japanese server of Fate/Grand Order.

FFXIV Eat Pizza Emote Broken for Au Ra Avatars in 7.0

Following the release of the 7.0 FFXIV patch and Dawntrail early access, a number of bugs have come up, and one affects people who use the Eat Pizza emote and have male Au Ra Warriors of Light. When attempting to use it in-game, the facial animation will break between taking a bite of the pizza and smiling to give a thumbs up. [Thanks, Hope_Incarnate and ViaMagicant on X!]

The FFXIV Eat Pizza emote started out as a GrubHub promotion that debuted back in December 2021. (It experienced issues at the time, due to some people not getting one despite fulfilling the conditions for the promotion.) In November 2023, it was added to the online store for $5. When used, the character appears to eat a slice of pizza, then give a thumbs up. 

Here's a video clip from ViaMagicant showing what happens when a male Au Ra character attempts to use the FFXIV Eat Pizza emote in FFXIV following the 7.0 update.

https://twitter.com/ViaMagicant/status/1806655888058360055

Since then, people also turned to the official FFXIV forums to submit bug reports for the error.

Following the end of the 48-hour maintenance and early access launch of Dawntrail, Square Enix shared many alerts concerning known issues in FFXIV 7.0. For example, the Amon fight in Syrcus Tower is broken. The company also alerted people to congestion issues.

Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and Dawntrail early access is live now. The full Dawntrail launch is on July 2, 2024.
