     Balatro and mahjong meet in Aotenjo, a roguelike with a new Steam demo

Gaming often dips from the same wells over and over again - we're seeing this right now with the current tide of extraction shooters - but sometimes that dipping yields fresh results. That's the case in Aotenjo, a roguelike deckbuilder that on the face of it is very similar to Balatro, but which combines it all with mahjong instead, making something altogether new. If that sounds like your jam, then have no fear as there's a free Steam demo you can play.

     Destiny 2 Vesper's Host dungeon walkthrough

How do you clear the Vesper's Host dungeon in Destiny 2? Bungie has introduced contest mode for a dungeon for the first time in the franchise's history. Contest mode, for the uninitiated, is a 48-hour window where the difficulty is ramped up and extra clearance conditions are implemented. Previously, Destiny only did this with its multi-stage raid encounters, for fireteams of six. This time around, it's the new dungeon's turn, so grab two friends and jump in.

Destiny 2's newest dungeon takes place in a somewhat familiar location. If you've ever cleared the Deep Stone Crypt, you'll recognize a lot of the mechanics on offer here, only this time they're mutated in the space game. There are three main encounters, and this Destiny 2 Vesper's Host guide is a work in progress as we try to clear during contest mode and grab the relevant screenshots and video footage to help you achieve the same.

The regular comments to this column inform me that many of you are cat owners, so this week, I would like to someone to explain to me how my cat can bound across a room, jump, and catch a moving dressing gown cord flawlessly, and yet fail to locate the stinky cheese Dreamie I'm holding out to her without several moments of smelling unrelated locations. Either way, this is my new favourite videogame, which gives every other game a lot to live up to.

Nevertheless, they continue to try. Here's what we're clicking on this weekend.

genshin impact minini pop-up shop

The Genshin Impact Minini collaboration will appear as a pop-up shop in Japan from October 18 to November 3, 2024. You'll be able to find the store at Line Friends Square Shibuya.

The Minini collaboration first started in July 2024, featuring Inazuman characters and Paimon. At the time, it was only a cafe in Japan, with a plethora of dishes and drinks based off the characters in question. Characters that are part of this collaboration are: Paimon, Ayato, Kokomi, Ayaka, Yoimiya, Raiden Shogun, Kazuha, and Taroumaru. For some reason, Taroumaru the dog was part of this collaboration and not Gorou or Thoma.

Depending on how much money you spend per transaction, you can get a prize. At 1100 JPY, you can get a random shopping bag. At 5500 JPY, you can get a Paimon fan. Finally, at 11000 JPY, you can get a card featuring both the official splash art and the Minini version of a character. You can check out all the merchandise on the official website, but goods include miniature figures, a water dome, umbrellas, a Kaedehara Kazuha hand fan, and t-shirts. These are all items that were in the Minini pop-up shop back when it was in Korea. You can check out the available goods via the official website.

Genshin Impact is available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices.
