Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, November 22, 2025 5:54 PM Celebrate the fictitious 35th anniversary of Ruin, a faux point-and-click adventure game that never was       Gosh, can you believe it? It's already the 35th anniversary of Ruin! It came out before I was born, but even I'm feeling the passage of time with this one. With such a momentous occasion upon us, a special 35th anniversary edition of the legendary RPG has been released by its developer Official Electric, split across just four floppy disks… except, well, you've definitely already clocked that Ruin isn't quite real. At least not in the way it's been presented. Read more

That isn't to say there isn't more Hollow Knight on the way, as Silksong will be getting… something, at some point, in the future. However! Studio heads William Pellen and Ari Gibson have at least floated a hypothetical idea around how the world of Hollow Knight might get bigger. Read more

Destructoid Saturday, November 22, 2025 5:28 PM Bleach Soul Resonance tier list (Global Launch)       Bleach Soul Resonance is now available globally, and the launch version introduces some of the iconic names we witnessed in the anime. Like plenty of other gachas, you'll have to rely on your luck to obtain a character. However, you'll also have to pay attention to team composition to clear the in-game content without many problems. Not all characters are built the same, and this guide will help you understand which names are on top of the meta and which aren't good enough. Table of contents Complete Bleach Soul Resonance characters tier list S-tier A-tier B-tier C-tier Complete Bleach Soul Resonance characters tier list Characters in Bleach Soul Resonance can be separated into two rarities: SSR and SR. Theoretically, the SSR characters might always feel like the better choice, but that's not the case. You'll have to pay attention to the team composition, which mainly comprises a tank, a DPS, and a support character. To construct the tier list, I have used four categories. S-tier characters are pretty much the best possible choices in the current meta. These are the names you should consider during team-building and rerolls. A-tier characters are pretty close to S-tier in terms of their in-game effectiveness, but they have minor weaknesses. B-tier characters are, at best, okayish choices. C-tier characters are average characters that should be replaced as quickly as possible. Here's a brief overview of how I have used to rank all the characters before deep diving into the details. Tier Names S Ichigo Kurasaki-Bankai, Kaname Tosen, Kisuke Urahara A Ikkaku Madarame, Byakuya Kuchiki, Uryu Ishida, Rukia, Sajin Konamura B Yachiru Kusajishi, Orihime Inoue, Ichgo Kurosaki-Shikai, Renji Abarai C Yachiru Kusajishi, Orihime Inoue, Ichigo Kurosaki-Shikai, Renji Abarai S-tier Ichigo Kurasaki-Bankai: The first limited character shows his value in every moment, and he's definitely worth rerolling for. His combos are fast, and you can even teleport across different enemies. His base damage is among the best in the current version, and his Ultimate enables the Hollowfication Mode. The Hollowfication Mode boosts his attacks, counters, and encourages new skills. Ichigo Kurasaki-Bankai is the best character in Bleach Soul Resonance at the time of the global launch. Kaname Tosen: Kaname might not be as strong as Ichigo, but he is an excellent DPS unit in his own right. His Co-strike ability allows him to jump in and damage enemies when teamed up with other Thrust Damage characters. His abilities have a stack function that builds up over time and buffs damage taken by enemies. Kisuke Urahara: A good support unit is crucial, and it doesn't get better than Kisuke. His ultimate grants a 50% Crit Damage bonus, which is one of the best buffs in the entire game. He works well in any team composition and stacks Reishi Analysis. Reishi Analysis further buffs the team's attack and can stack up to three times. Just pair him with a good DPS unit and you're all set. A-tier Ikkaku Madarame: Ikkaku has one of the best AoE-based attacks among all characters, and also applies Wound with his attacks. He also offers Thrust Damage with Kaname, and his Bankai form raises his attack, range, and unlocks an incredible finisher as a bonus. Byakuya Kuchiki: I really like how you can use Byakuya as a secondary damage dealer on the field while controlling another character. His Battlefield Skill has immense damage potential on its own. Sajin Konamura: While having a tank isn't necessary, Sajin can create a shield for himself and his allies. If you can land a combo or Technique on enemies, you can infinitely use Sajin's Battlefield Skill. The base damage, however, is on the lower side of things. Uryu Ishida: If you don't have a good SSR damage dealer, Uryu is an excellent alternative. He is easy to obtain from the gacha and does decent damage from all his attacks. He also offers AoE attacks, allowing you to erase waves easily. Rukia: An excellent support who does a bit of everything. Her attacks have crowd control (thanks to her freezes), and she gels well with any team composition. B-tier Yachiru Kusajishi: Good support character with decent damage, but there are better alternatives in her role. However, she's the best character to pair with Ichigo Kurosaki-Bankai, so keep that in mind if you get lucky with the limited banner. Orihime Inoue: A free character who offers shields, heals, and allows you to stay alive for longer. If you're desperate for a healer, she's a good shot. Ichigo Kurasaki-Shikai: Better version than the starter option, but works well if you focus on Spiritual Pressure. Renji Abarai: Does decent burst damage and has good AoE effects. However, he doesn't shine in any specific area when it comes to DPS units, and there are better options as far as the meta is concerned. C-tier There's not much to say about these characters. You can use them if you're a fan, but it's best to avoid investing resources.

Destructoid Saturday, November 22, 2025 4:10 PM What happens when your hero dies in Monsters are Coming!       The core gameplay loop of Monsters are Coming! revolves around your Hero and town, and keeping him alive will be extremely important. Unlike other bullet hell games, Monsters are Coming! treats death differently. Your Hero isn't invincible, and they can die if they take more damage than they can heal. However, the death of your Hero doesn't automatically mean that your run is over. This guide will explain why the death of your Hero matters, and why it's best to avoid it in the first place. Table of contents How does Hero death work in Monsters are Coming! Hero death penalty in Monsters are Coming! How does Hero death work in Monsters are Coming! Unlike traditional games, your Hero can die more than once. He can die from wounds received from enemies, and if you fail to heal him. A Hero's death will spawn a new one, who will land with all the upgrades and a full pool of health. In simpler words, you can afford your Hero dying, and more than once at that. However, you should be careful about your Hero's death since there's a penalty associated with every time they die. Hero death penalty in Monsters are Coming! While a death doesn't automatically end your run, there's a penalty associated with every time your Hero dies. In the screenshot below, you'll see that the game asks me to place a memorial on any available grid. Screenshot by Destructoid The key to surviving longer in Monsters are Coming! is to place different districts in your town. Some of them offer resources, while others eliminate enemies. Your town has a limited number of grids, and you can't expand it infinitely. The more times your Hero dies, the more Memorials you need to place. Every Memorial fills up a grid, reducing the total number of districts that you can activate. Hence, every Hero death directly reduces the chances of your town's survival (since the grid space gets diminished, and you can have fewer districts).

Destructoid Saturday, November 22, 2025 3:56 PM Where to use the Rus Post Car Key in Escape from Tarkov       The Rus Post Car Key is one of the many items that you can obtain randomly in Escape from Tarkov, and it could be a pretty important object for the future. While I am unsure if there's a specific location to find the key, I obtained it from a random raid. The key, incidentally, has a proper use on one of the maps in Escape from Tarkov. This guide will provide you with all the details on where to use the key if you find it during one of your raids. Rus Post Car location in Escape from Tarkov If you haven't figured out from the name itself, the key is required to open the Rus Post Car. To find the vehicle, head to the Post Office on the Streets of Tarkov map. If you're a beginner, the first task will be to gain access to this map. Image via Escape from Tarkov Wiki. Remix by Destructoid The next task is to reach the Post Office. It's opposite the Pinewood Hotel, and just beside the TerraGroup building. The latter is an important POI as it's involved in several quests. You can also find secret quests like Unheard at this location. Go past the TerraGroup Building, and you'll find the Post Office. You will find a blue van standing in front of the entrance. At first, the van will be locked (you can shoot at the glass window, but it won't open). If you have the key in your backpack, you can then use it to unlock the doors. You can open either the front door on the driver's side or the back. Unfortunately, I never found any loot (attempted it twice, just in case there's a bug). Screenshot by Destructoid Opening the back of the van shows you plenty of undelivered letters, but there's no loot. I have checked the van thoroughly. The same can also be said about the Post Office building. I firmly believe that this van could be part of a quest in the near future. If you have the key, I will advise you to store it safely, since using it on the van won't be of much use at the moment.
