Overwatch 2’s newest game mode is set to revive what’s left of the scrapped PvE in a very ambitious third playlist alongside Quick Play and Competitive Mode.

I vividly remember the first time I stepped foot on World of Warcraft's Asian-inspired island, Pandaria. As a budding adventurer, I was awed by the opening airship battle, stunned by the region's beauty, and enchanted by its fluffy Panda-inspired people. My jaw still drops any time I do the circle around the Serpent's Heart - it was a world quite unlike any other: lush, vivid, and exciting. But the last time I really played the MMO was during Shadowlands because, while I reviewed Dragonflight, I didn't get to put as much time into it as I'd wanted. Why? Well, MMORPGs are 'massive' by their very nature, and finding the time to slot in daily quests and raids with the squad isn't exactly easy. By contrast, Legacy: Steel and Sorcery feels like a condensed version of the WoW experience, with added extraction mechanics to boot. It's a game that showed a lot of promise in its alpha stages, and it's finally arrived on Steam in early access. Read the rest of the story...

Riot Games has shaken up League of Legends esports with the Fearless Draft system, an experimental format introduced in this year’s regional splits—and so far, it’s been working like a charm. In a best-of-three series, League players can ban 10 champions each match, but now, with Fearless Drafts, any champion they choose in match one becomes unavailable for the rest of the series. This takes away meta champions over time and forces pros to get deeper into the woods by choosing uncommon picks. This is a great change of pace in the competitive space, and I love seeing forgotten champions appear more often on stage—and my only issue is that Fearless Drafts won’t be in every major tournament this year.

Path of Exile 2 is one of the loudest releases in gaming in recent months. The game’s early access went live in December, though players currently need to pay for it—and now they’re wondering if the title will ever become free to play.

Some fires take longer to light than others. Way back in the thematically-appropriate year of 1984 an arcade game in an incredibly cool cabinet was released in tiny numbers, and hardly anyone recognized it as the future. I, Robot was the public's first look at real-time polygon graphics, and was a commercial failure despite being a great game. Speaking as someone old enough to have played it when it was new (Aladdin's Castle was just an all-around awesome arcade and one of my first stops when I get that time machine) it's hard to express how incredible I, Robot looked at the time, obviously far less detailed than the sprite-work in standard games but how on earth did it change perspective like that?

Magneto often gets overlooked in Marvel Rivals while comparing different tanks who do good damage in the game, but his output could be improved with a simple redesign or buff. In a Reddit discussion, Marvel Rivals players have been specifically talking about Magneto’s melee attacks and how they feel lackluster compared to other Vanguards in the game. Some point toward the attack’s “unintuitive hitbox” which makes it a bit unreliable in teamfights. View the full article
