After nearly a year of waiting, Path of Exile 3.26 marks the grand return of the still-undisputed ARPG champion. While PoE 2, Diablo 4, and Last Epoch are all making great strides, Grinding Gear Games' original free Steam game is still tough to top, with more than a decade of honing under its belt. It's been on the back burner of late, but with Path of Exile 2 early access now in a stable spot, GGG is ready to deliver Secrets of the Atlas, a major endgame overhaul featuring additional crafting options, map chains, and fresh pinnacle bosses, accompanied by new challenge league Mercenaries of Trarthus.

One of the most welcome aspects of the retro FPS revival is its focus on incredibly fast player movement. Games like Ultrakill and Mullet Madjack feature characters who whip across the screen like fastballs while throwback projects like Doom The Dark Ages, Doom Eternal, or Echo Point Nova add to their sense of speed with additional, parkour-inspired movements. The recently announced Gunstoppable is another game in this vein that, somehow, looks to amp up the pace, acrobatics, and freneticism of the throwback shooter even further.

For a limited time, Amazon has brought back one of its most popular power bank deals. The Anker Zolo 10,000mAh 30W USB Power Bank is back down to only $12.93 after a 50% off instant discount. This is a great price for an Anker-branded 10,000mAh power bank that can fast charge a Nintendo Switch console at its maximum rate. The Zolo is compact and boasts some uncommon but practical features, like a built-in USB Type-C cable and a digital display. You can also choose from four different colors to customize your look, including pastel blue and pink. Extend your Nintendo Switch 2 playtime The Nintendo Switch 2 has been released and if you don't yet have a power bank, now would be a good time to get one. Nintendo's official statement is that the Switch 2 lasts anywhere between 2 to 6.5 hours of playtime. The Switch 2 has a 5,220mAh battery, which isn't that much ******* than the 4,310mAh battery found in the original Switch. A 10,000mAh power bank will give you more than double the playtime, and a 20,000mAh power bank will give you about quadruple the playtime. [/url]Anker Zolo 10,000mAh USB Power Bank for $12.94 There are two reasons why this power bank is a great battery backup for your Nintendo Switch console: capacity and charging rate. A 10,000mAh (37Whr) power bank can charge a Nintendo Switch OLED from completely empty to full about 1.9 times. Provided you fully charge your Switch from the get-go, that nearly triples your total playtime. At the same time, a 10,000mAh power bank still maintains a pretty small footprint; for example, this particular model is about the size of an iPhone and weighs under 8oz. The Anker Zolo power bank also boasts a 30W charging output over USB Type-C. The Nintendo Switch console accepts a maximum charging rate of 18W. That means this power bank will be able to charge your Switch at the same rate as the official Nintendo charger. The Zolo has a built-in USB cable, however it's not retractable. Instead, you plug it into itself so that it forms a secure loop that's strong enough to be used like a lanyard. I have this power bank myself and I can tell you the loop is quite sturdy. There's also a separate USB Type-C port that be used for either input or output. Finally, there's a simple digital display that shows you the remaining battery charge as a percentage. Anker Zolo 20,000mAh USB Power Bank for $27.34 For those of you who need a power bank with great storage capacity, the chonkier Anker Zolo 20,000mAh power bank is also on *****. Because it can hold more juice, it's naturally larger and heavier than the 10,000mAh model, but it still retains all of the other features, like 30W of Power Delivery over USB Type-C, built-in retractable cable, and digital display. TSA-Approved Note that the TSA requires all power banks to be brought in carry-on bags; power banks are not allowed in check-in regardless of capacity. Both Anker Zolo power banks are well below TSA's 27,000mAh carry-on limit, so they can be brought onto planes. They're also low-profile enough that no one will likely take notice in the first place. If a TSA official actually does take the initiative to test the wattage on your power bank, you're well in the clear. For more options, check out our picks for the best power banks of 2025.

Back in 2023, Nintendo held one of those Direct thingies it likes to do, and as it often does the Japanese version of the stream had some games the western one didn't. In particular, there was one game that drew my attention: Stray Children. It caught my eye in part because it has a really unique pixel art look to it, but also because Yoshiro Kimura was its director, one of the original designers of cult-classic Moon: Remix RPG Adventure. And now, after a bit of a wait, developer Onion Games have confirmed it's getting its English release later this year, and it'll even be doing so on PC. Read more View the full article

Probably one of the most appealing parts of an RPG is bonding with other characters, right? Building up your player character's relationships with various companions, like in games like the Persona series for example. What I wouldn't say is particularly common is you, the player, having a direct relationship with the character you're playing as. This is where Downhill comes in, a fourth wall breaking action RPG whose main character knows you exist and controls them, all the while having to figure out a way to save the world.

Cyberpunk 2077 first came out almost five years ago. Its launch was notoriously rocky, with severe technical issues plaguing the game and interfering with its players' ability to enjoy one of the most highly anticipated RPGs in years. To its credit, creator CD Projekt Red (CDPR) has continued working on the game, issuing a number of patches, including an overhaul timed to launch alongside the fantastic Phantom Liberty expansion.

Welcome to the world of 4K, Nintendo! The Nintendo Switch 2 has arrived and it's brought 4K visuals with it for applicable titles. Games like Mario Kart World are capable of displaying at 4K resolution on TVs and monitors that are 4K capable, but you may need to tweak some settings to get the game and console running at the highest resolution possible so you can enjoy all of the graphical magic in its glory. Here's how to change your Switch 2's resolution to get the most out of the 4K console. How to change display resolution on Switch 2 Screenshot by Destructoid From the Home menu, select System Settings and then scroll down to Display. Scroll down to TV, and then select TV Resolution to select the resolution display options for your Switch 2 when it's docked and displaying on your monitor or TV. The Switch 2 is capable of displaying in 720p, 1080p, 1440p, and 2160p (4K). Even if you select a higher resolution, however, your TV may not be displaying it correctly. Make sure that your display is 4K capable, you have a 4K-capable HDMI cable (the Switch 2 comes with one), and that you have 4K selected in the settings. Also, double-check the HDMI ports on your display. Some TVs and monitors have multiple HDMI ports, but not all of them support settings like 4K resolution or 120hz, so be sure that you have the Switch 2's HDMI cable hooked up to the correct port, or some resolutions and frame rates won't be possible. If you're not sure about what your TV's settings are or what it's capable of, set the setting to Automatic and the Switch 2 will automatically apply the highest resolution it can. Unfortunately, 4K gaming requires a 4K display, device, and cable to work. Screenshot by Destructoid The Switch 2 is a customizable console because it even lets you remap buttons on the JoyCons. And don't worry, transferring all of your data from Switch 1 to your Switch 2 is a breeze as well.
