![]() ![]() The characters are all likeable and grounded in the world around them, and each story stays within its own lane and manages to tell a much more personal tale rather than one of some grand world-spanning intrigue. Octopath Traveler’s choice to break away from the norm and explore an open world JRPG hybrid was a bold move, and while it doesn’t quite come through the other end unscathed, the game does do a great job at keeping you engaged. ![]() Here are the 50 games you most need to play for the Nintendo Switch. If you need help cutting through the clutter, let us point you towards the best of the best. ![]() The Switch’s digital eShop is full of games that you can download, and the Switch racks at most retailers easily outnumber the Wii U’s at its peak. With success comes support, and the Switch has consistently seen far more support from other companies than the Wii U ever saw after its launch. With a constant stream of great software, and the addition of an OLED screen, there’s a lot of juice left in the Switch.Įverybody with a Switch knows about Animal Crossing and Super Mario Odyssey, but there are many great games for the system beyond Nintendo’s core classics. ![]() Like, Disco Elysium, one of our favorites of 2019, and, if anything, a game we actually underrated at the time, has found what might be its ideal home on the Switch. And not only does Nintendo continue to pump out some of the best games for its own console, but the Switch has become home to some of the best multiplatform games released over the last few years. Instead of a straight redux of Breath of the Wild, it takes the series into some fascinating new territory-which is typically the mark of a great Zelda. The old gal saw another huge bump with May’s release of the latest Zelda game, Tears of the Kingdom. The Switch might have just celebrated its sixth birthday, but Nintendo’s little box is still thriving. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Sony Interactive Entertainment sent the notice out to users with a PlayStation Network account yesterday. Multiplayer shutdown for Sound Shapes only affects the ability to share or download community-created levels. Twisted Metal and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale still have a single-player campaign and local split-screen multiplayer. ![]() 31, 2019 shutdown will most dramatically affect multiplayer-only Warhawk, which won’t be playable unless the PS3 is set to LAN and locally networked with other users. PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, originally scheduled to terminate online multiplayer support at the end of October, has been given a reprieve to the end of January, along with three other PlayStation 3 games: Warhawk, Sound Shapes and Twisted Metal. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The race director was Jock Semple, a Scot who emigrated to the United States and became the overlord of the Boston Marathon. The combination of that and hearing about the marathon was why I wanted to do it. I loved the distance and that feeling of empowerment it gave me. I realised I was not as fast as the guys but I could run forever. It sounded like the most heroic event in the world. I thought this guy schleps through the snow training so he can go to the Boston Marathon for one day and be a hero in his own life. He had run 15 Boston Marathons and he started coaching me and telling me stories about the Boston Marathon. “I was training in Syracuse, New York, where I was at university and there I met a guy who was 50 and coach for the cross-country team. I was just a 20-year-old kid who wanted to run,” she says. “I had no intention of making history that day. She will start the elite women’s and wheelchair races and then join the 40,000 other runners on the streets of the capital this morning for her first London Marathon and 42nd overall. Now aged 71, Switzer is guest of honour in London this weekend, part of the London marathon’s #spiritoflondon campaign. Switzer slipped through the net because organisers saw her name on the entry list and presumed she was a man. The only way women could take part was to join the race from the sidelines and run without a number. The rules did not explicitly prevent women from running, but it was tradition rigorously upheld by the organisers. But Switzer slipped through by signing her name on the entry form for the Boston marathon by using her initials, KV Switzer. It was 1967 and women were not allowed to run more than 1,500 metres in sanctioned races. It is one of many moments that Kathrine Switzer recounts as she talks about her memories of becoming the first woman to officially run a marathon. “One guy shouted at me, ‘you should be back in the kitchen making dinner for your husband’.” The thousands of spectators who line marathon routes are famous for screaming encouragement, but it has not always been that way. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() ![]() Risen 2: Dark Waters also has a lot of side-quests that can influence the main goals in the game. Defeating the various animals and creatures that inhabit the different areas to other humans, the challenge of the combat gameplay is careful and strategic attacks. From the skill system, you assign points and improve different skills like swords and guns along with the necessary lock-picking skill. Risen 2: Dark Waters provides a lot of choice. Along the way, you expand your crew and use them to scour islands and complete the numerous quests in the game. Originally part of the Inquisition, he goes undercover and beings his quest. Players take the role of a pirate who has to find a mysterious weapon to free the seas from sea monsters. ![]() ![]() Armor pieces are either crafted, purchased from NPCs, or dropped from enemies.Įach piece of armor has a defense statistic that reduces inflicted damage by half / 3/4 its value, rounded up. Armor can also be placed in vanity slots to change the player's appearance without affecting stats. Armor pieces are equipped by placing them in the armor slots of the player's inventory. ![]() Armor is a set of equipable defense items that reduce damage taken from enemies and most other damage sources. ![]() ![]() The challenge then comes in managing everything else - unplanned wars, interventions, invasions. This combination means that there is room to take your time, but enough pressure to convince you to keep up a decent enough pace. However, each of the other four main nations will also be trying to complete their objectives, and the country that does them all first wins. The way the game handles the 'story' is also quite nicely done - unlike random objectives, which are given to you every few turns and have a time limit, story objectives have no time limit. ![]() The story-driven campaign is definitely a strength - giving you guidance and a direction to focus your energies. The focus on Europe is both a good and a bad thing, and we can't help but feel the studio played it safe here. There's also an open campaign, where a long with these initial five you can choose to play as any of the 40 other nations present in the game, and create your own path to domination. ![]() You have a choice to play as the UK, Russia, Germany, France and the US, and each country as its own specific goals and story-arc to play through. In terms of a grand campaign, there are 2 options available to the player - first and foremost is the 'Story' campaign. Storm throws you into the middle of a near-future Europe that's teetering on the edge of war. It's the debut game from Swedish studio Colossai Studios, and whilst the inexperience shows, there are some hidden gems here. there's many decent strategy games hidden in this title's make up. Supreme Ruler's political setting, Civilization's tile-based combat, EndWar's relatively simple rock-paper-scissors-artillery dynamic. Take Storm: Frontline Nation for example - looking at it, you can draw parallels from any number of other titles - Total War's dual campaign/tactical mode. When coming across new IP's or franchises for the first time (especially from new studios), it's important as a writer that you don't get bogged down too much in comparisons and similarities. As is the curse of people who do what we do for a living, you eventually play so many videogames that they eventually just all start looking the same. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This data is stored until you revoke your consent, and is intended for use by Bandai Namco's services responsible for customer relationship management.
