Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, September 18, 2025 1:54 PM .jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=70&format=jpg&auto=webp) Gearbox have released another Borderlands 4 update for technical problems on PC, with a particular focus on game stability and crashes, though they've also fixed a progression blocker or two in the process. Unlike that other Borderlands 4 patch from earlier this week, this one has an actual changelog. Gosh, wait till Mark hears of this! Oh nuts, he's already gone on holiday, presumably in sheer consternation over the shortage of bullet points. Look what you did, Randy Pitchford. Look what you did. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, September 18, 2025 1:02 PM  This afternoon, a choice of two raging videogame lawsuits to report on. Firstly, a snippet from the on-going courtroom scrap between former Unknown Worlds executives and Krafton over the state of Subnautica 2's development, in which the former accuse the latter of changing their story about why the executives were fired. I've decided not to write that one up because it feels like we are entering the realm of potshots over minutiae, rather than learning anything genuinely new about Subnautica 2 or its creators, but if you're interested, GamesIndustry.biz has your back. The parallel Tencent/Sony bust-up has the virtue of relative novelty. It gives me a whole different kind of headache. What's going on with this one, then? |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, September 18, 2025 12:10 PM  Something Hollow Knight: Silksong-related has happened at an Australian museum again. This time, rather than the game being confirmed for an appearance back when it was still infinitely mysterious and sans release date, it's Team Cherry devs addressing just how difficult their creation is, following plenty of post-release discourse on the subject. This follows the metroidvania's first patch making a couple of its early bosses a bit easier to tackle, amid debate as to whether it's just good and hard, or pushes into unnecessarily annoying slog territory via the likes of bench placement and hazards being able to deal out two masks of damage. As with every FromSoft game since time itself began with the release of Demon's Souls, where you stand on that bickering will likely depend on how prepared you are to spend hours battling one foe over and over again. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, September 18, 2025 12:01 PM  Parkoury zombie bludgeoner Dying Light: The Beast has, literally just this minute, gone on sale, which means the review embargo curtain has lifted on RPS to reveal... an empty chair with an IOU stuck to it. This one is my bad, rather than because of any cheeky code withholding. I'd simply underestimated how many trillions of PC games were also out this week, and had to abandon my charge through The Beast to help keep the undermanned Treehouse on top of things elsewhere. Still, we'll shortly be bringing you a full, likely much better appraisal from RPS veteran Dominic Tarason (thaaaaaanks Dominic), and in penance, I offer some initial impressions from my couple of hours with the game's opening. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, September 18, 2025 10:32 AM  As the ravening shitbeetles of the Edwinphage overran the coral fortifications of the neighbouring Aspect kingdom, filling the air with the moist crunch of mandible on polyp, it occurred to me that I don't feel as much like a horrible doomsday cockroach as I should. We'll circle back to that feeling. Endless Legend 2 launches into early access on 22nd September, and I've now spent around 20 hours with it. I've previously praised its new/reborn factions and retreating ocean mechanic, and I plan to carry on praising, but there are definitely some more comprehensive issues I'd love Amplitude to address as this splendid scarab of a turn-based strategy game rumbles toward 1.0. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, September 18, 2025 7:08 AM  Dark Math Games, one of the multiple studios staffed by former Disco Elysium developers to pop up and announce a very Disco Elysiumy RPG last year, have given their game a revamp. XXX Nightshift is now called Tangerine Antarctic, with the switch also bringing a shift from isometric perspective to third-person. If you missed the recent flourishing of Disco spiritual successors created by ex-ZA/UMers, the others include Longdue's RPG Hopetown and Summer Eternal's mystery project. Meanwhile, Disco writer Robert Kurvitz and artist Aleksander Rostov are making something for a studio called Red Info, and ZA/UM themselves are working on a new CRPG called Zero Parades. It's all very easy to keep track of. |

Studio Supersoft added character customization to Moonstone Island, which allows someone to change how their avatar looks and find clothing as they play through the game. The update is now live, after people patch the game. This follows the implementation of evolutions for Spirits, a feature added back in June 2025, and past updates included things like extra festivals.
Prior to this patch, we couldn't change how our avatar would look in Moonstone Island. They would have long white hair, a floppy blue hat, and a red cape over their outfit. The update adds 28 hat and hair options and 36 pieces of clothing, with some of those found as gifts or by finding chests in the world. Once we get items, we can go to the main menu and tab over to our character to change how they look.
Here's the trailer for the Moonstone Island Character Customization Update:
While the customization elements are the main focus, they aren't the only changes. It is now easier to bring up the Medallion, as it has its own button. There will be more room in our backpacks too, as the patch notes noted, "Talismans no longer take up space in the inventory."
Moonstone Island is available for the Switch, PC, and mobile devices, and the Character Customization Update patch is live now.

The latest Project Voltage song, which involves the Vocaloid Hatsune Miku singing themed tracks with sound effects and BGM from Pokemon games, is tied to N, Pokemon Black and White, and Team Plasma. NILFRUITS is the composer and BAKUI worked on the music video, and "OOPArts" is now on YouTube. It will appear on Karent starting on September 19, 2025.
Because this is so focused on N and Team Plasma, this Hatsune Miku Pokemon song icnludes lots of imagery of characters tied to them. The character is shown both as a child, from when he was orphaned and raised by Pokemon, as an adult. In the background, sprites and art of creatures tied to him appear. Our first fight against him in Pokemon Black and White involved Purrloin, and the sprite for that "cat" will show up in the background behind him. Tympole, Darmanitan, Pidove, and Woobat are highlighted too. So are Poke Balls and the Team Plasma imagery. The background music includes that antagonist group's themes to it. Also, some of the most important characters tied to him, which are Zoroark, Reshiram, and Zekrom, constantly appear with full cut-in images.
Here's the new Project Voltage song "OOPArts."
The last entry in this series of songs was "Facade Question" by Satsuki. It was an April Fools' Day track that paired up Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto, and in it we saw Pikachu associated with Miku and Mimikyu tied to Teto.
New Project Voltage High songs are rolling out gradually, with three available so far. Pokemon Black and White is on the DS, and it debuted in Japan exactly 15 years ago on September 18, 2010.

HoYoVerse kicked off the Honkai: Nexus Anima Nexus Bond Test, the closed beta for its new game, and it also shared a new, animated trailer for the character known as Umpurrella. The release also included confirmation this test period will only run until September 23, 2025, but that it will include Supply Drops to ensure people can get a bit of a boost as they make their way through the game.
In the case of the Honkai: Nexus Anima Nexus Bond Test, the two Supply Drops are tied to progress in the closed beta and not time. This means if you're playing through it more quickly, you don't need to worry about hopping in at certain times to get items. The first drop arrives in someone's inbox after they finish a quest called "Repair the Aspect Fracture." Five Protean Pills will be given as a gift once you reach that milestone. The second one is tied to leveling up. If you hit level 30, you get 3000 Aspect Gems currency. Since progress doesn't carry over to the eventual full game, all of these items will only be able to used during this brief period.
As for the Honkai: Nexus Anima Umpurrella trailer, it's an animated short that highlights a young woman who keeps one of these cat-like characters as an Anima partner. While it is a creature that looks like an umbrella, with some folks even using it as one during storms, this particular one doesn't like the rain. As a result, the young woman goes out of her way to avoid being outside when it rains and doesn't use the Anima as one if they do end up caught in a storm. However, we soon see what Umpurrella is willing to do for her master.
Here's "Watersong: A Sea of Flowers" showing off Umpurrella in Honkai: Nexus Anima.
Some of the latest Anima characters revealed included Bobabirb, Cublade, Foalhardy, and Scorscythe.
Honkai: Nexus Anima is in development for the PC and mobile devices, and the Bond Test closed beta ends on September 23, 2025.

Cygames has revealed Believe as a brand-new character coming to Umamusume: Pretty Derby. She will be voiced by Misaki Akiyama and appear in the Japanese version of the game on Friday, September 19, 2025.
As with all prior playable Trainees, Believe is based on the real racehorse of the same name. The mare was born in 1998 from the American horses Sunday Silence and Great Christine. Her racing career spanned from 2000 to 2003, during which she recorded ten wins, including two G1 victories in Japan at the 2002 Sprinters Stakes and the 2003 Takamatsunomiya Kinen.
The Japanese reveal of Believe followed a server outage that affected not only Umamusume but also Cygames' other titles like Granblue Fantasy and The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls: Starlight Stage. The outage lasted for around 4.5 hours, and Cygames has also compensated by sending 150 jewels to all players who started before the outage.
Meanwhile, the global English version of Umamusume: Pretty Derby is still catching up with the addition of Hishi Amazon, who first appeared in the Japanese release in June 2021. In early September 2025, Cygames also added Seiun Sky to the global release's roster.
Umamusume: Pretty Derby is available worldwide on iOS, Android, and PC.

Can an action RPG about cutting and blasting through waves of mutated enemies in a dilapidated world after an apocalypse be cozy and relaxing? Hyke: Northern Light(s) certainly makes it seem possible. It's a beautiful road trip through a dilapidated, pixel art world with adorable witch characters who happen to have enough power to just annihilate anything in their path. It definitely feels unique, even if the actual combat can get a bit clumsy.
Hyke: Northern Light(s) begins with a peek at life before the war destroyed things. We see a woman, revealed to be Hyke's mother, fighting against human enemies. She's a witch, and she's making a final push to reach the captain of the forces. Once she does, things fade away and we meet Hyke, her daughter who she loved and was fighting for. Now that Hyke's grown, she's headed out into the world in the car her father left her in search of her mother alongside Riko, another witch she met on her journey. The path they tread means they, as well as the player, will learn more about the current state of the world, the war, witches, and Hyke's mom.
To start, I adore the character design in Hyke: Northern Light(s). Every ally and enemy looks incredible. Especially considering the size of the sprites for them. They actually match the elaborate character designs shown on the official site, which is amazing. They also tend to have some cute personalities, even if people aren't always well fleshed out as I'd like. But then, the camp scenes do help with that a bit.
When Hyke: Northern Light(s) begins, we have access to Hyke and her friend Riko. However, as the two travel across the country, additional characters join our party. Each one plays in her own way and has different types of movesets and specialties. For example, Hyke has ranged attacks, as well as a special that circles around her, as the game starts. Riko is more of a close-range melee user who swaps between a glass cannon, faster approach that heals with each hit and a giant rabbit transformation that lumbers around and hits harder. We can switch between them, as well as other characters in the party, on the fly. When outside of stages, we can upgrade their abilities. Not to mention before heading into a location, we can cook a meal for a buff and choose one random buff to apply to that outing. People feel unique, which I appreciate.
I just wish Hyke: Northern Light(s) gameplay felt tighter. We have an option to manually control these heroines or tap a button to lock on to targets. However, neither feels competent enough to make the combat feel good. If you don't bother with the locking on option, getting the positioning right to hit foes and close distances with attacks is imprecise. If the lock-on option is enabled, the game randomly picks who to attack and, while those hits land, I felt like more powerful hits were wasted.
Especially since enemies do get more powerful in what can feel like a satisfying way as we reach new areas. When Hyke first heads into the forest on her own for the very first stage, there are only small, squirrel or bug-size enemies and an occasional deer. But then we see larger opponents that can deal major ranged damage, have more unexpected movesets, or even look really cool like a mutated giant spider that makes a car into its exoskeleton.
Aside from both the character and enemy designs looking great, there's honestly some fun and visually intriguing stage design at play here too. When we happen upon inhabited areas, they look like they've been through it. The camp ground customization involves some cute accessories. Food looks good. I appreciate there's a journal we can look through to see the pixel art more closely. When we reach new areas, each new stage doesn't always feel like a rehash or slightly different take on the previous one, as there's a sense of progression involving a change to the environment, more hints about the war, and also areas affected by possible magic and otherworldly elements. I don't want to spoil things, but there are also some environmental aspects that affect progression, with the first forested area involving some one-way "gates" and poisonous polluted spots.
I love the ambiance surrounding Hyke: Northern Light(s), as well as the witch character designs. It's a beautiful game, for sure, and sometimes it can even feel cozy. I just wish it felt a bit more responsive when playing. The different movesets for each character are great! But sometimes, the execution doesn't make it feel as tight and precise as it could be.
Hyke: Northern Light(s) is available for the Switch, PS5, and PC.

The Manual Beleaf challenges are among the toughest to complete in Skate, and finishing them in the correct sequence is a true test of your RS skills.
The quest involves you recreating three different skills separately across two small barriers that offer little moving room. However, you can complete the challenge with some simple tricks (if you fail, just try out the methods listed below).
Sake Manual Beleaf challenges guide
Here's a list of every task to complete.
Out of the five tasks, don't pay much attention to Best Sequence. You'll have to complete the task using the two highlighted barricades.
In some instances, you could end up landing on a Grind. If that happens, use a 180-degree spin to move in the air before landing from the barrier to the ground.
If you land on the ground in between performing the sequence, you'll need to begin from the start. If you manage to complete your speed on the board, you can complete the tasks on the first barrier itself (which reduces the chances of failure). Controlling your speed isn't the easiest of jobs, but it's doable if you use the streamlined controls.
That's all you have to do to complete the Manual Beleaf challenges in the game. If you end up being unable to save your progression, try this fix to solve the issue at hand.

There are many powerful weapons you can find around the island in Fortnite, but most of the best ones are quite rare and hidden. The Mythic Blade Blaster is one such tool, but this special Power Ranger gun isn't a weapon you want to miss out on.
Strong weapons like this one are tough to track down, but the damage they put out makes them well worth the effort. Whether you're seeking this gun for a quest or just to use in battle, here's how to get the Mythic Blade Blaster in Fortnite.
Table of contents
Where to find Mythic Blade Blaster in Fortnite
The Mythic Blade Blaster can only be obtained by opening and looting OXR Bunkers. Accessing these special treasure troves requires you to increase your OXR Rank to at least Rank A. The loot inside each one is a bit random, so you're never guaranteed to find this weapon, but there is a good chance you'll come across it.
Once you're inside an OXR Bunker, search all levels for golden weapon cases. If there's a Mythic Blade Blaster present, it will be in one of these, although they can also contain other goodies like a Precision Air Strike. After finding one, approach the case and interact with it to buy this item. It's free, so you don't actually need to spend any gold bars, but you do still have to perform the action of purchasing it.
If you're struggling to get your OXR Rank up, you can also wander into any already open OXR Bunkers you come across for a shot at finding one. Bunkers have a lot of loot, so there's a chance whoever opened one up may have left one behind. Fighting a player who is close to a bunker is a good strategy, too, as you might get to pick up this weapon if you beat them in battle.
How to use Mythic Blade Blaster in Fortnite
The Mythic Blade Blaster functions just about the same as any regular gun you can find around the island, except it packs an extra little explosive punch upon hitting its landing. It's a dual-mode pistol that fires fairly rapid, explosive shots, so use it exactly like you would a regular pistol to deal solid damage from a moderate distance away.
With this weapon in your arsenal, you're now ready to take on the toughest challenges there are around the island. Some good tasks to work on are all Egg-cellent Observations story quests, destroying Swarmer Nests to thin out the swarm, slaying the Queen, and all Welcome to the Infestation quests.

The floodgates have opened on another new Call of Duty, and there's a lot of new info to digest about it.
Black Ops 7 made its full debut during gamescom's Opening Night Live, and it's coming to consoles and PC players in just a few months. Offering a campaign, multiplayer, and Zombies modes, there's plenty of tidbits of intel within each that players can now sink their teeth into in anticipation.
Here's everything we've learned about BO7 so far, directly from Treyarch and Activision.
Table of contents
Black Ops 7 confirmed information - Everything we know
This is an exhaustive list of what we know so far to be true and confirmed about BO7. This list will grow over time leading up to the game's launch later in 2025.
Multiplayer
Omnimovement evolved
BO6's omnimovement is back with some new changes, like a wall jump, the removal of Tactical Sprint, and the inability to ADS while sliding, diving, or wall jumping, but these movement features can all be re-enabled using specific Perks.
30 weapons at launch
Here's an incomplete list of all of the game's launch weapons.
18 maps at launch
Scorestreaks (known so far)
Perks (known so far)
Combat Specialty
This feature from BO6 has been tweaked, as equipping two Perks of the same specialty can now offer a hybrid bonus with a third as opposed to having to equip three of the same to earn the bonus.
Overclocks
Every piece of equipment, Field Upgrade, and Scorestreak can be leveled up to unlock modifiers that increase their functionality. This is reminiscent of Pro Perks from past CoD games, but for equipment.
Weapon Prestige
Weapon Prestige returns. Once a gun is max level, you can Prestige to reset its rank to unlock a unique attachment and camo. This can be done twice before reaching Master Prestige on the gun, with 250 additional levels and a unique camo to unlock.
Specialist Wildcard
The Specialist bonus will be a Wildcard you can equip in your loadout in BO7. This means you can earn a new Perk at 200, 400, and 600 score, with all Perks unlocking at 1,200 total score streak.
Campaign
Co-op is back
The entire campaign can be played in co-op for up to four players. You play as Specter One unit soldiers David Mason, Mike Harper, Eric Samuels, and Leilani Tupuola. BO6 character Troy Marshall also appears in a scene with Mason as they visit the grave of Frank Woods. The campaign takes place in 2035 and the main antagonist appears to be The Guild, a company utilizing AI and robots to do its dirty work.
A trippy story
In the footage shown, David Mason and his Specter One team are attacked with some kind of hallucinogenic gas, which makes them see things like massive machetes falling from the sky, twisted architecture, and more.
Treyarch described the campaign as having "surreal dreamscapes," where you have to deal with "a weapon that turns fear into a tool of war" that will leave the characters "trapped in paranoia."
Menendez lives?
Raul Menendez appears to be alive somehow, even after David Mason killed him in the canon ending of BO2. Something is up, and the team heads to Avalon to figure things out at the start of the story.
New Endgame feature
The 12th and final mission of the campaign is a 32-player map of Avalon with "endless sessions," called Endgame. Players can rank up their operators and level up until they can reach high tier difficulty areas, but progression is reset upon dying.
Little else is known about this mission and feature thus far, but it can be played in co-op and tasks players with leveling up and equipping new abilities to help defeat the enemies within as they delve deeper into Avalon to find out the truth.
Campaign Camos and XP
The campaign and Endgame will feature their own set of camos, including four Mastery camos, and XP that can be earned no matter what you play, so that you are always leveling up your account or battle pass no matter what.
Zombies
New round-based map
The new map for BO7 Zombies Ashes of the Dead is "the biggest round-based map ever" in the franchise. It features a Wonder Vehicle that players must construct to drive between locations on the map. The only location revealed thus far is called Farm, but other previous zombies locales have been teased, likely cobbled together to form the big map with the Wonder Vehicle used to traverse between them.
OG crew returns
Richtofen, Dempsey, Nicholai, and Takeo return in the Dark Aether. Treyarch said that this is a "new iteration" of the original crew, and they come from all sorts of different timelines in the multiverse. Takeo is from 1591 feudal Japan, Nikolai is from 1984 Afghanistan, Richtofen is from an alternate universe where the Axis powers won WW2, and Dempsey is from 1968 Vietnam.
Survival maps coming
Each section of the larger RBZ map will be turned into Survival maps, which are smaller, self-contained areas of the map that players can jump into and play with all Perks and necessary items present instead of having to experience the overarching map.
Dead Ops Arcade returns
The top-down, twin-stick shooter arcade mode will return in its fourth iteration.
Warzone
Nothing has been confirmed for Warzone yet. Info about the battle royale mode will likely come later this year at Call of Duty Next before BO7 launches. However, given past years, it's probable that Warzone will get BO7 guns, movement, and equipment as part of an update in season one.
This article will be updated with new information as it becomes available.

To harness the full potential of the Power Rangers, you need to become Megazord in Fortnite. This epic amalgamation of all six rangers is a unique character unlike any other, so you'll likely want to know how to unlock Megazord and all the rewards that come with them.
The process for unlocking most skins and rewards is pretty straightforward, but this one is a bit trickier since it's the featured secret style for Chapter Six, season four. If you're hoping to unite the Power Rangers in this epic style, here's how to get all Megazord rewards in Fortnite.
Table of contents
How to unlock Fortnite Megazord rewards
To unlock Megazord rewards in Fortnite, you need to earn account levels. Each reward is unlocked after earning two levels, so to earn them all, you need a total of 24 levels. All Megazord rewards are also battle pass exclusives, so you must have this pass unlocked to earn them.
In many past seasons, unlocking the secret bonus skin usually required you to finish special quests. Although there are some missions tied to this character, you don't need to get them done to unlock Megazord. Instead, you solely need to focus on earning levels.
The best way to quickly earn XP so you can gain account levels is by completing all quests you haven't done yet. This includes weekly quests, story quests, and daily quests, all of which grant massive XP upon completion. You can also jump into creator-made islands to earn even more levels.
All Megazord rewards in Fortnite
There are 12 Megazord rewards you can claim from the Megazord page on the battle pass. These prizes are divided across two pages that must be unlocked in order. If you work through the rest of the standard pass and all bonus prizes, you can also earn the Black & Gold Dino Megazord style as the final unlockable item, but this item isn't part of the main Megazord set.
Page one
Page two
If you're looking for ways to quickly earn XP so you can get closer to unlocking Megazord, there are plenty of missions worth tackling. Some good tasks to work on for XP are all Egg-cellent Observations story quests, gaining shields using Slurp Geysers, using an Ascender and a Zipline in the same match, and calling in Precision Air Strikes.

Roguelikes have been around for decades, with games evolving from barely having a few pixels moving on the screen to featuring Hollywood-level acting, incredible art, and varied gameplay.
A derivative genre known as the roguelite takes elements from roguelikes, makes them less hardcore, and introduces a more streamlined way to experience permadeath runs, one filled with continuous upgrades, smaller stages, and massive boss fights. The pinnacle of the genre is certainly Hades, a game that added so much into the mix it could very well be called its own thing, and many games have tried following in its footsteps, to more or less success.
Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree is one such title, taking an established formula and expanding it with incredibly unique and different mechanics, most of which I have never seen before in a video game. Combining these new elements with a JRPG and Visual Novel flair has produced a title that feels like a breath of fresh air in more ways than one.
With stunning visuals, a breathtaking color palette, and an approach to combat that is as interesting as it is frustrating, Towa is well beyond what I expected, and could have been a lot better if it weren't for certain combat-related issues that significantly take away from the experience.
Charming, beautiful, rich with story
More of a Hades-like than a rougelike in itself, Towa is a charming, stunning game, placing you in the shoes of Priestess Towa and her Prayer Children, who must go through various combat challenges in the effort to beat a powerful demon, Magatsu, who is plaguing the land.
The game unfolds as a series of challenges, where you have to select two characters who you will control simultaneously through these stages, which are more or less identical to what Hades has. Your first pick, the Tsurugi, is the melee attacker, whereas the second, the Kagura, is the spell caster. The Tsurugi is the one you control directly, while the Kagura is tied to your primary character.
Both are controlled at the same time, meaning you'll have to pay attention to each character's positioning and use their spells in unison for maximum effect.
Each stage is packed with enemies, and beating all of them in various challenges leads to rewards in the form of currency, resources, or, most importantly, power-up cards which should be familiar to you from other games in the genre. There are levels of respite and healing which you can use to restore your characters before storming into boss fights, which are varied and quite formidable.
The game is rich in story, as its world and characters are all fleshed out and have tons of dialogue and lore. But they're told to you more in the way of a JRPG or visual novel rather than a Western roguelike or other story-rich genre, so if you're a fan of those, you'll definitely love what Towa has done here.
Since you have to pick two characters at once, they will usually synergize well story-wise, exchange dialogue, and have deeper conversations during rests, adding a layer of RPG to this otherwise combat and action-oriented roguelike title.
On the other hand, the game has stunning visuals and perhaps the best art direction of any game launched in 2025. I know Clair Obscur fans will rip into me for that one, but Towa's style, 2D art, and overall color palette is something out of this world, and undoubtedly one of the game's strongest points.
Combined with unique gameplay mechanics which I've never encountered in any similar game thus far, Towa ends up quite the interesting title, innovating on the roguelike formula on the same level as Hades, which itself is a revolutionary series.
Unique in more ways than one
Towa is among the most unique games I've played this year, not least because it gives you control of two characters simultaneously, which you have to micromanage to a degree to avoid taking unnecessary damage. Each character has its own set of skills, both in the role of the Tsurugi and the Kagura, and you can place any character in whatever role you wish.
All characters can be individually leveled up, equipped with different weaponry, given specific spells and abilities, and buffed with passive effects. This adds a lot of layers to the core gameplay loop, as your whole game can drastically change between runs depending on which characters you chose to bring along, in which roles, and with what abilities, passives, and other upgrades.
This further means most players will have dramatically different experiences between each other, which is something not a lot of games can say. The replay value is massive as well, especially due to particular story elements that I won't get into to avoid spoilers. But I can just say returning to Towa can and will be definitely different and varied, with multiple replays never getting stale.
What's more, Towa has one of the best mechanics in a game I have ever seen: you can forge your own katanas. The forging system is so detailed and realistic that it's honestly incredible, and I can't say I ever expected to see this in a game as cute and quirky as Towa.
Katanas can be made from the ground up, with the ability to create custom designs, use your own preferred material to achieve various passive effects, sharpen the blade in whatever way you see fit, and hammer it into perfection. If Towa were just this mechanic, with some trading on top, it'd be the best blacksmith simulation game of all time, bar none. I can't describe how much time I've spent at the forge, tinkering and making my own sword just how I like it.
All of the above, though, amazing though it is, falls short of greatness when Towa's actual combat and gameplay are taken into account; various design flaws, inconsistencies, and other detractors leave a sour taste.
Artificial difficulty, floaty combat, and confusing gameplay
Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree's combat feels exceptionally floaty, much in line with its heavy JRPG inspiration and lean, and attacking enemies oftentimes doesn't give that feedback and "kick" you'd expect in a modern title. This is more true on some Tsurugi characters than others, and it definitely is inconsistent and varied, and not in a good way.
This often leads to your sticking to just one single Tusurgi character for the entire run, based on how much you like their attacks, and I'm almost certain it'll be Rekka, whose slash attacks and AOE sword swings are simply the most effective in the game. The Kagura don't vary all too much between each other, at least initially, and often add more to confusion than to combat versatility.
They will frequently be hard to aim with, positioned in places where you don't want them, and taking great chunks of damage for no good reason. Managing both the Tsurugi and the Kagura effectively can be overwhelming at times, especially against more challenging enemies, of which there are many.
The game also features weapon durability, which can deplete fast, forcing you to either pick up a Grace to make your abilities restore durability, or to switch to your other sword and back, which refills the bar. Given that you can instantly restore it, I feel the durability is somewhat unnecessary and more superficial and tedious than mechanically interesting.
Towa has an incredibly inconsistent difficulty curve, where things are cranked up from 0 to 11 in basically a single stage. In one level, you'd be clearing entire waves of enemies without getting hit or feeling any sort of challenge whatsoever, while in the other a powerful boss will be doing 600 damage per hit, while you have 1200 total.
Additionally, the boss will have so much HP and various defensive AOE abilities that beating them proves more of a chore than a challenge, leading to resets, which can be quite tedious to make up for.
As opposed to Hades, where you're expected to clear the game in a single go, Towa has several massive stages you need to beat, with several boss fights and levels before the final fight. Clearing all of these without dying is no small feat, especially in some cases, and dying at the end takes you back to the very beginning, meaning a single stage can take literal hours to clear at no fault of your own.
Mixed with the game's floaty combat, this artificial difficulty becomes more exacerbated, since you'll sometimes get hit or take massive damage without ever really feeling like you did, or that you should have, which is ultimately very frustrating. End-of-stage design also lacks a lot, and doesn't add to the gratification one should experience when defeating a challenging enemy.
Towa, however, does have a story mode for those who don't wish to fight it out, so that's a welcome addition. The story is fairly interesting and, with characters as fleshed out as they are, alongside those other cute, calm, and fun bits of the game, this could prove a significant relief if you've had a negative experience with the combat, or a way through the game for players who just want to kick back and relax.
When all is taken into consideration, Towa is nonetheless a solid game, with visuals and mechanics the likes of which we rarely see in modern video games. If its issues were to be ironed out post-launch, even if it were just a tweak to numbers, this could potentially be a great title. As it stands, though, it's certainly the roughest of diamonds.

Skate's map is the key to exploring places and completing objectives, but a bug has been popping up, causing problems for many players.
When it occurs, the bug prevents you from knowing where you have to be next. This is a major bug, as you won't know where you have to be despite knowing the actual tasks. This guide will solve the problem with a simple solution that will make your life easier.
Skate map bug fix
The map bug can happen when you're about to start a new challenge. Ideally, the challenge will begin, and a spot on the map will be highlighted. You'll have to be physically present at the place to start and complete your tasks. But the bug prevents that from happening, which means that you'll have to guess the spot randomly. This is simply impossible to do, and here's what you can do instead.
Once done, you'll have to travel to the spot and continue with your missions. There's another bug that can happen and interrupt your mission progression. There's a fix for that as well that you can try out. The map bug fix mentioned here also doesn't require you to restart the game, saving more time in the process.

Story quests are essential tasks to work through in Fortnite, as they keep you updated on what's going on around the island and grant loads of XP. One of the trickier ones you'll come across asks you to break open Hive Stashes to find traces of the swarm energy signature.
You're not given much guidance for this task, so figuring out what Hive Stashes are and where to find them can be tough. If this mission has you stumped, here's how to break open Hive Stashes to find traces of the swarm energy signature in Fortnite.
Table of contents
Break open Hive Stashes to find traces of the swarm energy signature in Fortnite
To complete the break open Hive Stashes to find traces of the swarm energy signature quest, you need to find and open five Hive Stashes. Hive Stashes are glowing orange sacks that contain a treasure chest and are usually guarded by several bugs.
You can break these objects open by approaching them and pressing the button that appears next to the phrase "Break open," or by simply attacking them with everything you've got. Both methods count for this quest, so choose whichever you prefer. Repeat this process at five different hive stashes to gather the data Hope needs and progress the story quest series.
The traces of the swarm energy can be found in Hive Stashes all around the map, so you don't need to travel to specific locations to find what you're seeking. Most story quests ask you to visit specific locations, but luckily, this isn't one of them, so you can hunt for Hive Stashes wherever you see fit to do so.
Where to find Hive Stashes in Fortnite
Hive Stashes can be found around all bug-infested areas in Fortnite. Main POIs like The Hive, Ranger's Ruin, Dystopian City, and Swarmy Stash are the best spots to check, but you can also find them around smaller bug zones like Outposts. They're often tucked away in small caves, but can also just be out in the open, so focus on looking for a bright orange glow to make finding them easier.
There are plenty of other missions to get done around the island after this one. Next, you might work through the rest of the Egg-cellent Observations story quests, venture to all Power Ranger locations, and work on using an Ascender and a Zipline in the same match.

What sets Jujutsu Seas apart as opposed to other anime Roblox open world RPGs with the same formula are the cinematic fighting animations. The focus on movesets and fighting styles based mostly in JJK brings a fresh new spin to the classic One Piece/Blox Fruits theme. Dive into the game with info on everything thanks to the Jujutsu Seas Trello board and Discord server.
Jujutsu Seas Trello and Discord Guide
Here are all the info links you need to start progressing and grinding Jujutsu Seas:
I would start with the Trello since it's got a bunch of useful wiki-like entries there that archive everything. It helps you decide what weapons or fighting styles to pick first or which race or clan to select. It's got info on:
After Trello I would dive into the official discord server since you can find more specific info there. The chat and question channels are filled with tester players who are experienced about the game and can help you build your character. Usually in these kinds of games you need either a tier list or to ask pros what are the best options.

In all Dandy's World-like games like Cookie Kingdom World there are three main roles which are extraction, crumbles distraction and team utility. I'll be ranking all cookies according to how well they preform across these roles in a team setting and give shoutouts for strong solo potential. Here's my Cookie Kingdom World Cookie tier list and guide.

All Cookie Kingdom World Cookies Tier List
This Cookie Kingdom World tier list will outline the best Cookies in the game and the worst ones for extraction, distractions and overall team utility. S and A are your go-to choices for the main roles, B is for average but still useful cookies and C and D are underpowered. In general there is a problem with 2-Heart Cookies in this game because unlike in Dandy's World with Sprout/Cosmo there's no reliable healer. Popcorn's heal is 5% chance so this makes distractors like Marshmallow and Angel much worse even though they would be A-Tier at least otherwise. That said, let's dive into the individual ranking reasons for all cookies below.

The Power Rangers have arrived to help deal with the bug chaos plaguing the island in Fortnite. These powerful heroes are great allies to have at your side, but finding them can be a bit tricky.
These characters are some of the best NPCs you can find around the island, so knowing where to look for them is useful. If you're struggling to meet up with these mighty heroes, here are all Power Ranger locations in Fortnite.
Table of contents
Where to find all Power Rangers in Fortnite
There are six Rangers you can find around the island in Fortnite, all of which offer unique services. Inetarcting with these characters is crucial for several key quests, so here's where to find each one.
Green Ranger location in Fortnite
The Green Ranger can be found near the north end of OXR HQ. There are a few different NPCs you can meet around this location, so to make sure you're heading toward the right one, head directly to the north end of this outpost. His services are the least useful out of all the rangers, as he offers the same OXR Patch Up and Rift granted by all other NPCs.
Pink Ranger location in Fortnite
The Pink Ranger can be found in a small bug-infested area located near the very south end of The Hive. She's also east of Shiny Shafts and north of Ranger's Ruin. She can be hired as a Scout Specialist.
Blue Ranger location in Fortnite
You can find the Blue Ranger wandering around a small area slightly north of OXR HQ. This location was known as Pumped Power in previous seasons, but is now an unnamed region. This ranger can be hired as a Supply Specialist.
Yellow Ranger location in Fortnite
The Yellow Ranger can be found hanging around north of Foxy Floodgate and south of Swarmy Stash. She's also slightly east of where you can find the Pink Ranger. You can hire the Yellow Ranger as a Medic Specialist.
Black Ranger location in Fortnite
The Black Ranger is close to a gas station that's found west of The Hive. This location is also north of Shiny Shafts and south of Resistance Base. He can be hired as a Heavy Specialist.
Red Ranger location in Fortnite
The Red Ranger hasn't officially arrived on the island just yet, as the community is still working through the final Megazord quest to summon him. When he does arrive, it seems like he'll spawn slightly south of the massive Shining Span bridge, as there's an NPC marker there but no character wandering around that spot just yet. As soon as the Red Ranger is available to interact with, we'll update all details here.
With some mighty heroes ready to fight at your side, you can now get to work tackling tricky quests around the island. Some good ones to work on are talking to Championship Surf Witch about FNCS, completing all Egg-cellent Observations story quests, and using an Ascender and a Zipline in the same match.
