Project Octopath Traveler was one of the first games shown for the Nintendo Switch. While it did eventually go to PC, it remains one of Nintendo’s bigger console exclusives. Now that team at Square Enix is back with the same strategy in a new 2D game in

Moreover, the game mostly prioritizes earning piety points and prestige to "proceed" across the timeline. As such, players determine what "success" means to them. The game features a unique education and genetics system, which makes marriage also a strategic element in the franch

Strategy fans who want to stray away from the intense army-versus-army nature of other titles can go to turn-based tactics for the same tactical"thrill." And in the case of tactical RPGs, the XCOM series definitely takes the cake. In this series where alien conspiracies are real and the world has built its own anti-alien force, players become Earth's last line of defense against the extraterrestr

Fortnite is available on just about every modern platform under the sun, including portable consoles. All the same, being able to play the PC version on the go will be a great addition to the Fortnite ecosys

The final nail in the coffin for story upgrades that this game needs is a better balancing act. One would think Square Enix would be more interested in showing off its gameplay rather than its text for a demo. It seems someone was thinking the opposite because the few battles in here are about an hour apart each. Hopefully the final game won’t burden players so much with too much story all at o

Each of these factions has its own theme, storyline, and motivations. They also have unique buildings and gameplay options . In fact, one might say all of them have a proper "claim" to the planet. However, it's up to players to help them secure

Engineers and Scientists are the most valuable rewards players can get in XCOM 2 and should be prioritized over any other. After unlocking the Black Market, it is important to check every month whether any can be purchased. These purchases cost Intel, which makes it a valuable resource in XCOM 2 . Scientists dramatically increase the speed of any research. Engineers are key to upgrade and maintain almost everything at HQ. Players should also aim to have at least one Engineer clearing debris for more rooms at all ti

StarCraft 2 continues the story of the Terran, Zerg, and Protoss after the events of Brood War . In the game's three parts, players see the Terrans struggle against an autocratic Dominion, the Zerg redefine its Swarm, and the Protoss secure its leg

Before embarking on a mission, players should carefully plan. Any mission that requires hacking, for example, SLG Advanced Strategies will greatly benefit from at least one specialist who can hack from a distance. After building the Shadow Chamber, mission previews will show exactly the types of enemies that will be encountered on a mission. Any unencountered alien XCOM enemy will appear as Unkown . As players amass resources and options, preparing accordingly for each mission will have a major impact on its succ

When starting the game, players should take a look at the available rookies' stats to determine which are more worth leveling up. Soldiers with a high Will stat will last longer before getting tired and will be more likely to resist psi attacks and panic effects. Soldiers with high Combat Intelligence will obtain more ability points as they level up or perform certain combat challenges, such as killing enemies from high gro

Thanks to their shotguns and melee weapons, Rangers do best when in the middle of the action. Run and Gun allows them to dash, moving twice as far as normal which normally costs two actions. This can be great for flanking an enemy or catching a retreating enemy to finish the

The 2D pixels on 3D pixelated backgrounds is a cool visual gimmick. It was one of the best things about Octopath Traveler. However, that game had some issues that have carried over into this game as well. The backgrounds, for one, are too dark. Even what seems to be the brightest of settings can look dingy because of the lighting. TV settings can only do so much so it would be good to see these backgrounds brightened, or touched up in any other

There is no function to skip conversations entirely though which is a feature that usually is in games. One may want to skip scenes for myriad of reasons like playing the same story twice, or someone more interested in the RPG gameplay rather than the st

Unlike other fictional universes, the Warhammer 40K universe isn't exactly somewhere anyone would want to be in. In this setting, the universe remains an empty but harsh space that separates the material world from the Warp, which serves as the home to vile creatures and demons. Moreover, races in WH40K reached scientific heights that made them more paranoid and prepared to face alien thre

This game is not officially out yet, but Baldur's Gate 3 has been receiving a lot of positive press from its Early Access release . Like many RPGs, it is all about balancing equipment and paying attention to stats. Where one can get restless doing this on a couch or in front of a desktop, RPGs have always found a good home on portable consoles purely for this reason. Fans cannot wait to get their hands on the full release, but early access offers quite a lot of content by its
