In true George R.R. Martin fashion, the lore of Elden Ring can be impenetrable even on a good day. The backstory of the Lands Between is left for players to find on their own, including one particular wedding that carried massive implications for the realm and those in it. Rennala and Radagon are two of the biggest figures in Elden Ring lore, despite the less attentive gamer probably only knowing them as the stat respec lady and the frustratingly tough final boss respectively. While it’s tough to attach even the vaguest of timeframes to anything that happens in Elden Ring‘s lore, the doomed pair’s marriage and subsequent messy divorce set the stage for a good chunk of what you experience in the game proper, and the place where it all happened still has more than a few secrets to discover.

Agent Trust is a significant mechanic in Zenless Zone Zero, but considering just how many moving parts are in play, it can be a bit difficult to immediately grasp the system. As the newest gacha game from Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail developer HoYoverse, Zenless Zone Zero remixes a lot of ideas from its predecessors and adds its fair share of new concepts. Agent Trust has some similarities to the Friendship system in Genshin Impact, but it's ultimately much more important as a core part of Zenless Zone Zero's progression and gameplay loop.

The Firaxis formula has been copied but never bettered. It's the little things, like the way the camera swoops in when you're aiming or as the last squaddie hustles into cover at the end of a turn. I feel more connected to my guys if the sensation of being an invisible hovering giant playing toy soldiers gets broken every now and then and I get to see a close-up of the action...

Every so often in Pokémon Go, there are Special Research tasks where you must select from multiple paths to earn different rewards. The Dawn of a New Discovery has three choices to pick from to earn multiple rewards: the Emolga, Crabrawler, or the Ducklett branching path. The choice is entirely up to you, and you must make it after completing the first series of tasks for this Special Research.
