Genshin Impact boasts a sizable map that covers the continent of Teyvat, which is presently split into two major regions: Liyue and Mondstadt. Mondstadt is the region players are introduced to at the start of the game, and Liyue, which is affiliated with the Geo Element, lies just southwest of it. While players adventuring across Liyue and Mondstadt will likely be encountering powerful Elite Bosses and challenging Domains, one of the various Genshin Impact challenges consists of floating collectable emblems, or “oculi....

One of the many Abyssal Domains you can find in Genshin Impact is known as the Hidden Palace of Guizang Formula, and is packed full of rewards just as you’d expect. Just like the other Abyssal Domains, you aren’t free to simply stroll up and enter it right away. Even once you know where to find this specific dungeon, it is protected by one decently cryptic puzzle. Fear not, adventurer, because we will show you exactly how to open the Hidden Palace of Guizang Formula....

This morning, I woke up to the over-excited pings from my phone and Discord over Valve’s latest device, the Steam Deck. It’s a neat little platform that I’m sure I’ll wind up using to take some of my staples around with me, like Final Fantasy 14 and Stardew Valley. I’m not particularly starved for mobile titles, I play my Switch and mobile games daily in bed, but in an attempt to always be on-brand, I immediately needed to know if the Steam Deck would play Genshin Impact....

Following his recent Netflix sci-fi drama The Midnight Sky, George Clooney seems ready to return to space already. He will be producing and likely starring in a new live-action series of Buck Rogers for Legendary. The Hollywood Reporter has broken the story about this interesting new development in a project being written by Brian K. Vaugh. Clooney and producing partner Grant Heslov will serve as executive producers through their studio Smokehouse Pictures....

At this point, platforming is platforming. There aren’t a lot of new mechanics that can be successfully added to a genre with a gameplay formula that has withstood the test of time. That doesn’t mean developers aren’t trying though. Mechanics such as rotating the screen around the player-controlled character to get them to move, or “jumping” through the use of magnets or anti-gravity abilities are just some of the recent ways that developers have put a spin on the classic genre....

PlayStation has revealed a number of titles coming to its Play At Home program this spring, including titles such as Horizon Zero Dawn and Subnautica. First announced on PlayStation’s official blog, a number of games will be made available to download and keep for free as part of the Play At Home program that kicked off earlier this month. From March 25th, a combination of nine indie and VR titles can be downloaded without the need for any kind of subscription....

Vampires, magic, singing? Compared to the real-life, bleak reality of high school, there are many fictional schools that seem to be way more entertaining in comparison. With the internet going wild over outlets teasing the return of many Freeform and CW teen programs, it’s a great time to remember the coolest, most iconic fictional high schools— starting with the prestigious Constance Billard School for Girls that Manhattan’s most elite teens attended in Gossip Girl....

It has already been 20 weeks since the release of Fifa 21, and the newest team of the week is one of the best thus far. With five players 85 rated or better, clubs will have a chance to pack valuable players throughout the week. With so many challenges and rewards this year, almost every club will have some spare coins lying around. Gamers should wait for a happy hour and try their luck in the store....

Final Fantasy 14 is coming off of a major patch update. Patch 5.3 added a ton of new story content, made sweeping job changes, and expanded Final Fantasy 14’s free trial to include the game’s epic Heavensward expansion. And now Square Enix is bringing back one of its most popular in-game events, as the Gather One, Gather All tie-in event with Yo-Kai Watch is returning. The Yo-Kai Watch event lets Final Fantasy 14 players do a variety of tasks in an effort to earn a ton of great Yo-Kai Watch-themed rewards....

At its E3 press conference, Square Enix revealed more details about the upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Remake. While the gameplay presentation went more in-depth on how combat works, and also showed new footage from the game’s very first boss fight. Some key details to point out from Final Fantasy 7’s Guard Scorpion boss fight include a more open battlefield, various stages in the fight where the enemy will alter its strategy, and how the environment changes....

Square Enix has released a selection of new screenshots and renders for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, and it is becoming increasingly clear that this reimagining of the JRPG classic isn’t afraid of throwing everything at the wall with supplemental games, novels, films, and more being implemented into a single, somewhat cohesive universe. It’s going to be a convoluted mess once the smoke has cleared, but I genuinely adore its bravery and willingness to go this hard, even if it means leaving fans behind who didn’t play a mediocre PS2 game back in 2006....

Aerith dies in Final Fantasy 7, which is about as big a spoiler as saying Bruce Willis is a ghost. I’ve never played the original Final Fantasy 7 - nor have I seen The Sixth Sense - but there is a pool of shared cultural knowledge we all drink from. The people who spoil things on purpose? I suppose they’re the ones peeing in the pool. But no one spoiled Aerith’s death; it’s just a thing you know when you’ve been playing games for long enough, like the right trigger being shoot, what “would you kindly” means, who Darth Revan is, and the Konami code....

Like all other expansions in the MMO, Final Fantasy XIV’s Heavensward introduces its fair share of trials and dungeons. Players will run through all trials and most of an expansion’s dungeons during the course of the expansion’s main story scenario, but there are always a few dungeons per expansion that are optional to complete. These optional dungeons and similar unlocks are helpfully indicated by a blue quest mark. However, figuring out which quests actually lead to useful unlocks as opposed to sightseeing or yet another levequest can be a pain....

Fire Emblem: Three Houses’s Blue Lions is led by no other than Dimitri, the prince of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. Dimitri is house leaders with Claude and Edelgard, and while all of them have wonderful qualities that make them a great choice to join forces with, it’s very easy to make a case for Dimitri as the best of the three. Here are a few reasons as to why Dimitri is the best leader in Three Houses....

Fortnite is well into its season-long crossover with Marvel and the popular battle royal keeps dropping new characters. Earlier this week, Fortnite began teasing the addition of Black Widow for this season’s crossover and now it appears that the new skin has been leaked online by notable Fortnite leakers. A few days ago, Fortnite teased Black Widow for the Marvel Knockout Super Series tournament, which in the past has allowed players to unlock Daredevil early before he hit the item shop....

All signs point to Fornite heading toward a massive game-changing event at full speed. The upcoming Galactus appearance promises to bring everything from a huge battle to the possible return of Fortnite’s launch pads. What is less clear, however, is what state Fortnite will be in once the Galactus event is over. The current Marvel crossover is one of the biggest, most popular seasons so far, with tons of new, off-the-wall content being added....

Since its inception as a zombie survival/building co-op game, Fortnite has certainly come a long way. Two years ago it added the Fortnite Creative mode, allowing players to make their own creations. Unlike the most prominent mode for Fortnite (Battle Royale), Creative allows for a lot of freedom. Players can build their own levels on different islands with different props. Many players have made frequent use of Creative mode, and for some it is the most played mode over Battle Royale....

One thing that Team Ico can take to their respective graves is that they are almost partly responsible for video games gaining recognition as an art form. Both of their titles, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, have been recognized as two of the greatest games ever created - for their unique play styles, basic yet deep stories, and stunning visuals. So, naturally, when The Last Guardian was announced, everyone was excited and already claiming it could be one of the best games on the PS3....

Contains spoilers for seasons 1 and 2 of Gangs of London. Waleed Zuaiter is actually a really friendly guy. The California-born actor who grew up in Kuwait is chatting to Den of Geek via zoom, and we’re having a lovely natter. You could almost forget that he embodies one of the most unsettling characters on TV today, the vicious, lawless Georgian gangster in Gangs of London season 2. Koba blasts on the screen in episode one where he terrorizes the young Algerian gang before invading the home of Albanian boss Luan and kidnapping his wife, who he later buries alive....

There are a ton of ways to express your love for a video game. Some people like to cosplay as their favorite characters, others take to writing out fan fiction and placing their favorite characters in their own scenarios, and some turn to paper and pen to draw out their favorite characters and scenes. One fan is taking their passion for Genshin Impact and fanart to the next level by creating an awesome portrait out of one single and continuous line....
