After almost exactly a year trapped in the PlayStation 5 exclusivity limbo, the latest Soulslike by Nioh developer Team Ninja will finally land on the PC. Rise of the Ronin, set during the Boshin war, is a familiar but nonetheless great take on the Soulslike formula and more akin to Sekiro. The port was announced by Team Ninja in a Jan. 27 post on X, where it confirmed that Rise of the Ronin would be released on PC on March 11, almost exactly a year after it launched exclusively for the PlayStation 5 on March 22, 2024. Following a similar formula as its predecessors, Nioh 1 and 2, Rise of the Ronin is a Soulslike title that combines the platforming and verticality of Assassin’s Creed with the stellar deflection-oriented combat of Sekiro (and has some JRPG elements mixed in for safe measure). This makes the game familiar and approachable for fans of the Soulslike genre and also gives them some unique and fresh mechanics, so they’re not simply playing a non-FromSoftware version of Sekiro.

League of Legends players are currently beset on all sides by the tyranny of an evil mage, that being none other than Mel Medarda, the latest addition to LoL‘s massive 170-champion roster. She has already earned herself the appropriate nickname “mage for babies,” with players calling her anything from “giga broken” to “absurd.” She was released very recently on Jan. 23, but has already racked up a 60-percent ban rate in Emerald and above, [Hidden Content], and has retained a relatively balanced 49 percent win rate (though this is likely due to her novelty, and not her inherent weaknesses). Across numerous Reddit threads posted over the past few days, players have been imploring Riot to hotfix or nerf this champion altogether, with most complaining that her overall kit is simply too powerful and forgiving, while also zeroing on on a couple certain spells.

EA may be teasing a re-release or remaster of The Sims 1. First released in 2000, The Sims was the game that started it all, taking the popular Sim franchise and zooming it in for a greater focus on highly customizable individual lives.

During the Sukhothai chapter of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, you may encounter an optional Mystery/puzzle by the title of "Counting Letters." Like many mysteries in The Great Circle, this one involves finding a locked container, and following a series of clues to discover a way to open it. Unlike many other side quests in The Great Circle, however, this one doesn't require you to bring any prior knowledge to the table: the clues and the tools you need to solve it are all right in front of you, as long as you know how to apply them.

Diablo 4 gives you a fair amount of variety for building each class, and seasons like the Season of Witchcraft are the perfect time to test out builds. Rogues can be a bit tricky to master since you have less range and defensive abilities compared to other classes, but that's made up for by the amount of mobility you have. You also have some choice about whether you want to focus on close combat or if you want to keep your distance and go with ranged options. View the full article

To absolutely no one’s surprise, the world’s richest man is once again bragging about having the number three character on PoE 2‘s hardcore leaderboards, despite the fact that he played almost no real part in leveling the character itself. Responding to another Jan. 26 tweet highlighting Musk’s number three spot on the leaderboards, the billionaire only said “Fatalism ftw,” (the name of his character) and took credit for this massive achievement. Of course, many fanboys flocked to support him having the ability to multitask his many businesses and remain a top-level pro in the game, while others criticized him heavily, saying that he is “cheating” and that it’s “ridiculous” that he would brag about someone else’s efforts.

Some Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players on PC have been experiencing performance issues, but don't worry: there's already a mod for that. Released January 23, 2025, for the first time ever on PC, FF7 Rebirth has already garnered praise from players and professionals alike.

When it comes to player freedom and customization, The Sims 4 is nearly limitless - except when it comes to customizing your work outfit.

Thankfully, a cheat code serves as a solid fix if you're looking to open up your options when it comes to workwear. View the full article

The Sims 4 was released over 10 years ago now. While it still has quite the following more than a decade later, for the average Sims player, the gameplay can feel stale. EA is good at giving players more content through expansion, game, and stuff packs, and, most recently, kits. Even still, these updates often don't make the gameplay feel new enough. Often, the game still feels like it lacks new and exciting features to keep players engaged. View the full article
