Many of you have likely forgotten about last year’s Gears Pop!, a mobile spin-off of the Gears of War franchise that crosses over with the stupidly popular Funko Pop brand. Released on PC and mobile devices on August 22, 2019, it seems the title has had little momentum since launching 15 months ago. As such, developer Mediatonic has announced that it will be shutting down all online services next year....
It earned as much criticism as it did praise in the early days following its release but Genshin Impact continues to grow in popularity.

The Play At Home deal is over now, although it’s still via the PlayStation Plus Collection for free if you’ve got said PS5.

One of the most hotly debated aspects of Square Enix’s flagship series is where exactly Final Fantasy 8 ranks among the three titles that released on the original PlayStation. The primary reason for this debate, and tons of further analysis in game design for years to come, is the Junction System that dominates how players interact with Final Fantasy 8’s strongest monsters. While the negatives of Final Fantasy 8’s Junction System have been talked to death, most of that analysis comes from the assumption that players are going to try optimizing their way through the game....
