Summary Stardew ValleyandBaldur’s Gate 3are a natural crossover. The bonds of friendship and community formed with your companions while on a shared quest to defeat the Netherbrain are comparable to the communal spirit of Pelican Town.

Crossovers aren’t really Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone’s style, though references to Stardew Valley have appeared in other games such as Terraria and Balatro....

Building custom rollercoasters inPlanet Coaster 2isn’t the easiest process. While the new build ui does make it far more intuitive to place and adjust pieces, it doesn’t help with understanding G-Force, and how to build a coaster that is fun but won’t make all your guests sick. Fortunately, the game also has a range of blueprints available. Unfortunately, career goals require rides with specific excitement, fear or nausea ratings, or more annoyingly, set out criteria based on track length, speed, or biggest drop....

Balatrosurprised everyone with its easy to understand gameplay and deceptively deep mechanics.

However, with eagle eyes and good gamesense, you can pick out the pieces you need to win big....

Although Supervive doesn’t support every party size imaginable, there’s a strong number of modes that encourage effective, synchronous team play....

Quick Links Hoshimi Miyabi, the youngest Void Hunter inZenless Zone Zero’sNew Eridu, is easily one of the best DPS characters in the entire game, outshining everyone that came before her.

Miyabi’s best teams don’t need to be all premium S-Ranks, nor do her builds need to be perfect, but here’s how to get the most out of Miyabi....

With this depth comes a lot of hidden or uncommon gaming mechanics that take some getting used to and often opening a wiki or two. Most of these mechanics involve specific items that are required to perform simple yet crucial tasks, which can be the difference between dying on day seven and dying on month seven. As long as you have the backpack space for it, there are a handful of items you will find yourself always having on-hand while rifling through drawers and crates....
