Persona 4 & 5 are bonafied hits - that much is obvious. They are largely responsible for bringing not only the Shin Megami Tensei franchise over into the mainstream, but for popularizing niche JRPGs in the West. A large part of that has been attributed to director Katsura Hashino, a prolific MegaTen presence responsible for some of the franchise’s best games. From his early planning work on the fantastic If… and Soul Hackers, to his directorial debut in the beloved Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, Hashino’s been at it for a long time....

Fifa 21 Ultimate Team players tend to use only the highest-rated rare cards in their squads. Player rankings do not always determine how well a card will perform in-game, and are tied to each player’s performance in real life.

Ultimate team players should look at all of the player’s relevant stats before deciding if they will fit into their club....

With this guide, we’ll teach you some useful tips and tricks that will allow you to buff up Cloud and his crew to take down Shinra’s goons more efficiently....

In addition to being the classic turn-based strategy game that the franchise is known for, Fire Emblem: Three Houses puts a strong emphasis on the storyline and the characters who make it all happen. The player’s character, Byleth, might not have the biggest personality or most impactful dialogue as someone who is designed to be silent, but that’s okay. There are plenty of other big personalities to fill the void....

A Suicide Squad game coming in 2022 looks to give DC fans what the first movie did not, but we’d prefer developers leave that to Hollywood and create a game based on The Boys. As for its theoretical video game, our idea would be for it to allow players to assume either the role of one of The Seven or bravely become one of The Boys. Opting for the latter would make for a far more difficult experience as only one of its members actually has superpowers....

With next-gen consoles expected to drop in the next couple of years, the landscape surrounding gaming is changing, as many are likely preparing for the PlayStation 5 and next Xbox.

Fortnite recently got a new update, and it brought with it a brand new John Wick skin for fans - but it’s not for Keanu Reeves. With the main character of the movie trilogy already having two skins in the Fortnite franchise, Epic Games instead added a skin for Sofia, an assassin played by Halle Berry in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. The new epic-variety skin will run gamers 1,500 V-Bucks, which means it’s 500 V-Bucks cheaper than John Wick himself....

As the main antagonist of Ghost of Tsushima, Khotun Khan is an imposing force that looms over the island of Tsushima and is made even more threatening when he takes down Jin with relative ease during the first act. His connection to Genghis Khan adds yet another level to his threat, being one of the most prolific conquerors and mass murderers in human history. Despite being the main antagonist, Khotun Khan doesn’t show up all that often, being relegated to main story beats where his presence as the leader of an entire army makes the most contextual sense, rather than coming and going as he pleases....
