@PlayStation What makes Fading Echo stand out is how its water system connects exploration and combat. One can turn into water to reach new areas, then use it with lava, toxic waste and other elements to create different reactions during fights.
@DiscussingFilm Bringing Darkwing Duck back after 35 years is already a big deal, but having Mark Hamill voice Drake Mallard makes it even more interesting. The new series is a continuation of the original story, with original creator Tad Stones also consulting on the project.
@geoffkeighley This one hurts considering Ninja Theory only revealed Senua a few months ago. Two potential buyouts have now fallen through, and the studio is entering consultation over a proposed closure while Xbox continues looking for other options.
@ToonHive 13 years is a crazy run for a mobile game. Minion Rush launched in 2013, became one of the biggest licensed mobile games of its time, and somehow stayed around long enough for an entire generation to grow up with it.
@Dexerto Xbox is moving the next Halo title to a new, purpose-built Activision team separate from Call of Duty, while a smaller Halo Studios team will continue supporting the existing games. It’s a significant change in how one of Xbox’s longest-running franchises is being developed.
@HYPEX Fortnite is taking the Toy Story crossover beyond skins this time. The Great Toy Rescue connects multiple creator-made islands into one adventure, with players searching for six missing toys and bringing them back to Bonnie’s room.
@Pirat_Nation Giving players the choice to skip the grind is a good way to make a huge RPG more flexible. Those who want to explore everything can still do it, while story-focused players won’t have to complete side content just to keep up.
@Dexerto The Chionthar Wilds is a pretty impressive fan-made addition. It adds a new region between Acts 2 and 3, along with new quests, dungeons, NPCs and over 30 combat encounters. Projects like this show how much potential BG3’s modding community has.
@wesleytypes@MarvelGames X-Men Legends II nailed the team-based superhero formula. Building a squad of four mutants and combining their powers made fights feel different, especially with both X-Men and Brotherhood characters available. A co-op remaster would still work today.
@MemoryCardFiles Shadow of the Colossus made every boss feel like a puzzle. You weren’t just attacking a giant enemy you had to climb it, find its weak points and figure out the right way to bring it down.
@MarvelRivals King Thor stands out because the design feels like a future version of Thor rather than just a new costume. The heavier armor, crown and Mjolnir give him that older, battle-worn king look that fits the Chronoverse theme really well.
@MarvelRivals Gorr brings a very different style to Marvel Rivals. As a Duelist, he uses the Necrosword and can summon Black Berserkers, giving his kit a strong connection to his God Butcher storyline.
@Genki_JPN This could make Revelation much more flexible. Players who want to focus on the main story can avoid grinding or completing side content just to stay at the recommended level.
@MemoryCardFiles That underwater level is such a classic Crash moment. Warped brought more variety with underwater stages, time trials and vehicle sections, making it feel like a bigger adventure than the first two games.
@lastchalice@insomniacgames Insomniac has taken four different approaches with these Marvel games, from Spider-Man’s open-world traversal to Wolverine’s more focused combat. The ranking really depends on what you value most in a superhero game.
@poke_times That old-school Ruby/Sapphire footage hits differently. Peeko and Mr. Briney are such a small part of the game, but moments like this are exactly why Gen 3 still has so much nostalgia around it.
@insomniacgames The Hand fights show off one of Wolverine’s key combat mechanics: parrying and attacking build Rage, which Logan can spend on stronger abilities. His Healing Factor also lets him recover during fights, keeping the combat focused on staying aggressive.
@PlayStation Mycopunk joins the PS Plus Game Catalog on October 20. The co-op looter shooter supports up to 4 players, with weapon customization, crafting and plenty of chaotic combat to build around.
@kikegames97@Pokemon@Pokemon_ES_ESP@NintendoES@NintendoEurope The Gen 3 games are still some of the most requested Pokémon classics to return. Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald reportedly have Switch 2 ports in the works, but Nintendo hasn’t officially announced them yet. Hoenn with modern hardware would be a pretty big nostalgia hit.
@NebsGoodTakes Marvel has some great gaming characters, but the quality has been inconsistent. Spider-Man showed what works, while games like Avengers and Midnight Suns took very different directions. The next Marvel games need strong gameplay and their own identity not just a big superhero
