Genshin Impact’s huge Dragonspine expansion is finally live, and if you log into Genshin Impact right now you’ll be able to traverse a huge new mountainous region. But things aren’t as simple as you’d like them to be, of course. While Mondstadt and Liyue have been simple to explore, Dragonspine is an icy mountain with harsh climates and conditions, and just like in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you’ll need to move with caution if you’re going to climb this behemoth of a hill....

Although Genshin Impact is ultimately free-to-play, it is also a “gacha”-style game, which means that loot boxes are integral to the game. As such, players who explore Genshin Impact will be occasionally enticed by a precious currency, infrequently rewarded in-game, but easily purchasable for real-world cash: Primogems. These blue star-like crystals are the game’s form of premium currency, and they allow their spenders an edge over the competition. At the moment, Primogems only serve two functions in Genshin Impact....

Genshin Impact has a roster of characters from Liyue who can easily put Mondstadt’s crew to shame. Xinyan herself is one of the most powerful four-stars in the game, and many players agree that even Bennett is weaker than this sweet rock n’ roll girl. Xinyan is a pyro claymore user who seems to have mastered the art of battle. Compared to the rest of the Liyue cast, she stands out as she is one of the few characters not hung up on traditions....

Genshin Impact has been the dark horse of new releases this year, winning the Editor’s Choice award at Google’s Best of Play as well as PlayStation’s September’s Players’ Choice. With a new event underway, gameplay is heating up when it comes to speedruns. Food delivery is a daily commission issued by an NPC in Genshin Impact. This task is reoccurring and there are three versions of the quest available: deliver to Lively Orlean, deliver to Springvale, or deliver to Dawn Winery....

Last week, we found out about a new bug in Genshin Impact. Well, it might not be a bug. Some people are speculating that it’s actually a developer feature deliberately left in the game to let ingenious players return to certain places that are no longer accessible after completing the quest. We’re just going to call it the “secret teleport” and leave the bug/feature debate to others. You can find the secret teleport in Liyue Harbor between Bibo’s fishing raft and the pier it’s parked at....

A lot of people really love Sucker Punch’s Ghost Of Tsushima, and for good reason. It features an expansive open world, unbelievable art, a variety of weapons, and some of the best blade-t0-blade combat in all of gaming. Not to mention it tells an achingly human, and somewhat historical story via its main quest. It also tells some awesome stories outside of the main quest, and has more than a few truly fun side challenges along the way....

Announced all the way back in December 2019 at The Game Awards, Godfall has been an intriguing next generation title. Cherry picking popular gameplay mechanics from experiences like Monster Hunter, Destiny, and The Stormlight Archive, Godfall is a self proclaimed Looter-Slasher, where combat is more focused on melee attacks with swords and polearms rather than ranged weapons like guns. Expected to release sometime later this year, Counterplay Games have slowly been detailing more and more about the game and its unique class system....

Square Enix has started on some solid footing with the first part of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, bringing the 27 year old game into a new HD experience to a whole new console generation. However, aFinal Fantasy 7 Remake’s stellar reception may have baked in a severe critique that could hold the next part back when the story continues moving through the original plotlines. In the event that the next part of Final Fantasy 7 Remake doesn’t release as DLC or extended episodes added onto the initial release, it’s likely that Part 2 will release as its own installment....

The whole toy/game hybrid concept must’ve gotten somebody in the industry a huge raise and a fancy corner office, and with a stable that includes some of the most beloved characters in the world, Disney’s entry in the toy-powered adventure game market - Infinity - is ready to wring every last dollar out of the wallets of parents everywhere. After previous installments introduced classic Disney characters and Marvel superheroes into the mix, Disney Infinity 3....

Titanfall 3 is, sadly, not the likeliest thing to happen in the near future, but we know that Respawn is making something over at their LA studio. A job ad from last December revealed a “new team” had been formed to “develop a brand new IP,” while tweets from Respawn studio head Vince Zampella confirmed that a new project was in the works with a small team of about 6 people....

At last week’s PAX East event we learned the Double Fine Adventure Game’s official: Broken Age. In addition to announcing an official title for the Kickstarter-funded project, the Costume Quest developer also unleashed a new trailer, which we have for you above. Double Fine also talked a little bit more about the general concept of the game — what ideas they planned to tackle, and how the overall experience work. But really, this was the first opportunity to see the game in motion, if only in trailer form....

Five Nights at Freddy’s may well be the most prolific video game series in recent memory. Over the course of a year, the one-man development team of Scott Cawthon managed to create a trio of indie horror smash hits. Propelled by Let’s Play YouTube users, the animatronic dangers of Freddy Fazbear and friends created controversy in the world of gamers, with horror fans either loving or loathing the fixed position gameplay and jump scare-focused thrills....

Capcom’s Devil May Cry series became known for its badass heroes and stylish action. When confronting bosses, it’s customary for the protagonist - usually Dante or Nero - to talk trash in their face. Rather than confront them in a stoic and heroic manner, these devil hunters prefer to get up-close and personal with their prey. Devil May Cry isn’t exactly known for its deep, meaningful thoughts or moving narrative. While it certainly has its moments, you’ll find that most of the series is tied around its hearty confrontations....

Fans have received a wealth of new information during this stretch as well, ranging from breakdowns of the different playable classes, single player gameplay, and even details on the various special editions available for purchase....

Fortnite fans who have loved the crossover with Marvel are getting some news that may excite them: leaks revealed that there is another, Ghostbusters-themed crossover.

During the holiday season of 2018, Fortnite introduced planes to the battle royale. While some fans weren’t happy with the Fortnite planes, feeling as though they upset the game’s balance, others enjoyed the dynamic they added to the game, and were sad to see them go. Epic Games vaulted Fortnite’s planes all the way back in Chapter 1 Season 8, but now it appears as though they may be making a comeback....
