Marvel Rivals sets itself apart from other hero shooters with its highly destructible environments, letting players break walls, ceilings, and entire structures to shift the tide of battle. In theory, this should make the game more strategic—removing an enemy’s cover or creating shortcuts for teammates sounds like a solid way to shake things up. But in practice, one of the game’s biggest map-changing features has fallen flat. The mechanic that was expected to make destruction more tactical hasn’t really lived up to expectations. Players assumed it would be crucial for setting up game-winning plays, but the reality is that most of them barely touch it. View the full article

To build a Berserker in Avowed, it's best to lean into the Fighter class abilities and focus on increasing attack speed as well as bleed and stun damage.

The first Hunter Rank 2 small monster you will need to hunt down in Monster Hunter Wilds is the Kranodath. Here is the best location to Slay 6 Kranodath for the March of the Kranodath quest in Monster Hunter Wilds. Screenshot by Destructoid Best location to Slay Kranodath in the Basin When it comes time to Slay 6 Kranodath for the Mark of the Kranodath optional quest in Monster Hunter Wilds, the best location to find them is in and around Region 12 in the Basin area. There are several different altitude locations in which the Kranodath can be found roaming around Region 12 in the Basin. If you have your map oriented in the right direction, Region 12 is in the northwestern side of the Basin, a more wide-open area with different terrain levels. The Kranodath look like velociraptors, with a big frill around their head area. You need to slay 6 Kranodath in total for the Mark of the Kranodath quest, and they typically travel in groups of three. This means you'll need to find two separate groups of them for the quest, but that shouldn't be an issue as they are plentifully available in the area. They are considered Bird Wyverns and can be found in the oil basin area hunting Gelidron. After slaying the Kranodath required for this quest, make sure you harvest the carcass. The Kranodath has five total Low Rank Materials rewards that can be acquired from them, including: Charred Oilbone (Target Reward: 20%) Kranodath Skull (Target Reward: 30%, Carving: 75%) Krano Copper (Dropped: 100%) Sharp Fang (Target Reward: 30%, Carving: 25%) Dragonite Ore (Target: 20%) Because the Kranodath can drop Krano Copper on the ground when attacked, make sure you check the area before moving on to loot this valuable resource that it used for crafting various Decorations.

It isn't always obvious what to do or who to reason with in Avowed, and during the "Don't Look Down" quest you'll run into a couple of Thirdborn citizens who very much want to send a message to Aedyr by killing you. In Shatterscarp, you'll eventually run across a character named Moapo who will give you a stash of supplies to deliver to some Dreamscourge hunters posted in Tago's Tower in Shark's Teeth Pass. Unfortunately, the area he sends you to is completely riddled with traps and explosives, and it becomes pretty clear that Moapo might've had some ulterior motives. View the full article

Some of my most cherished early videogame memories are of playing Yu-Gi-Oh games as a grade schooler while understanding about 10% of the rules. I tried to revisit the game once I was older, but found its head-spinning, combo-centric gameplay a mite too head-spinning and combo-centric. I liked Yu-Gi-Oh because I could play Dark Magician and he looked really sick, and there were big numbers on his card, but the modern whippersnapper’s Yu-Gi-Oh has added all these layers of complexity that my geriatric mid-twenties brain can’t reckon with. What I really need is a videogame where I can relive the glory days in peace; or better yet, fourteen of them... Read more.View the full article

The Steam concurrent player count chart for Monster Hunter Wilds on SteamDB is comically vertical: in two hours Thursday night it shot from zero to just shy of a million players, and the rest of the weekend saw player levels wax and wane from around 600,000 to 1.3 million as hunters pulled themselves away from monster slaying to catch some sleep. It was a very good weekend for Monster Hunter, but maybe not such a great weekend for smaller games on Steam capsized by Wilds' tidal wave-sized wake... Read more.View the full article
