And just like that, a new game has been announced! Rather than retelling the anime, the game runs an original story with new characters conceptualized by series author Natsu Hyūga. The developer, Gust, is best known for the Atelier series. This looks very promising.

Some battles have been going quite smoothly in Act 2 for now, for example, against the Ch'r'ai Tska'an (a githyanki warlock) party (or, unpictured, fights to defend Halsin's portal and then to "convince" Thaniel). After finding out her Legendary Action, the plan was pretty straightforward - to...

I mean, I can try answering this :) I only played as a Trickster and an Azata. Obviously, I tried to play chaotically (so sometimes good, sometimes evil, sometimes neutral, but always chaotic) as a Trickster. This has been VERY fun, I saw some crazy (and kinda unexpected, hard to predict)...

I haven't tried the Lucky feat either. The issue with feats is that your choices are quite limited because some of them are much, much better choices than others, especially in the beginning and middle of the game (when it actually matters). My party reached lvl 8, and that's exactly when a...

WotR is celebrating its fifth anniversary today, and to mark this date, Owlcat Games composed a ballad, using players' very own words. A very fun video, recommend (the voice-over is by Christina Rotondo):

It's been a while! Now, after finishing a 400-hour+ playthrough of WotR, I intend to close another gestalt and actually see the end of BG3. It would be a shame not to, considering I started playing this game in October, 2020. Taking it lightly for now, as returning to a game after a year+...

Yeah, I definitely saw that, but I guess technically it falls under "light, shadow, color". Of course, if the AI model was trained on Instagram models, it does that. I think now when we know it's not user-controlled in every game as a menu with sliders, it's 100% bad and will lead to nowhere...

I've found a good article by Sean Hollister (The Verge) explaining the new DLSS 5 technology without additional emotions. I can't copy-paste the whole article here (as it's paywalled), but I'll share some things I found most important: Will gamers be able to tweak DLSS 5 the way they like? The...

Those are good questions. The funny part is, I played the game normally and didn't even realize this achievement would exist. One note about the Trickster run is that I started using Unfair only after coming back to it in Chapter 3 when my Ironman party lost in the Wenduag duel. So whatever I...

I can say that if House at the End of Time from Kingmaker was the worst final dungeon I've ever experienced, The Threshold will hold the firm second-worst spot in this rating, then. The inability to rest before reaching the second area cost me a lot of Raise Dead scrolls that I needed to use...

Thanks, Serg, I knew I missed something. That's the price of coming back to the game many months later. Indeed, Seelah has Shatter Defenses, the horse doesn't, so that explains the flat-footed AC on defense when Seelah attacked, and the lack of it when the horse did. I didn't have time to cast...

I need to summon @Serg_BlackStrider as our local expert on Pathfinder. My party fought Deskari and for some reason during this fight Deskari got stunned. During the same round of my attacks, he had a normal AC for defense, and then he had a flat-footed AC. I have no idea what happened, but this...

It's interesting to read takes on the freshly announced remake of HoMM3 from the new generation, people who never played the original: https://www.gamesradar.com/games/strategy/after-playing-heroes-of-might-and-magic-3-remake-i-want-to-go-back-in-time-and-make-homm-my-entire-personality/ For...

Surprisingly, after watching today's Opening Night Live from Gamescom, I'm looking forward to Showa American Story. Inspired by 80s' pop culture, this post-apocalyptic adventure follows a teenage girl who is mysteriously revived from the dead and finds herself faced with a world teeming with...

CDPR announced a huge update that will be free for all owners of The Witcher 3 game. They are also making its 2 expansions free. All in the wake of next year's release of the new expansion. Hype!
