Carrie Patel, the director of Obsidian Entertainment's Avowed, has left the Xbox studio only a few months after the game's release. Set in Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity universe, Avowedwas the studio's first crack at a major AAA fantasy RPG. While it turned out to be much smaller and more focused in scope and scale than something like Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, Avowed still impressed gamers with its strong writing, buttery-smooth first-person combat, and beautiful environments, earning the game an 81 on Metacritic.

The creators of Blades of Fire have played a lot of videogames. Developer Mercurysteam has spent a decade-plus working on classic series like Castlevania and Metroid. As might befit that pedigree, its latest effort is a bone-deep rethinking of action RPG trends. From moment to moment, Blades of Fire plays unlike anything else. The God of War and Dark Souls influence is apparent, but the game also has subtler inspirations. The swinging positionality of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, for one, and the gonzo action and stilted earnestness of Dragon's Dogma for another. In an era of perfunctory crafting systems, Blades of Fire's crafting alters every swing of every sword. However, despite its relentless cleverness, it can't help but feel mundane and overdrawn. It lacks the verve of the genre's best because it is so focused on its influences, resulting in a game that can feel lifeless and self-conscious. Blades of Fire might be a weird original, but it's never quite weird enough. Read the rest of the story...

Alright, so, I know those of us on PC haven't even had the chance to play the first one yet, but it seems like Shift Up have essentially confirmed that Stellar Blade 2 is in the works.

The key thing is a slide in its strategy section, showing a very basic plan for its games Nikke and Stellar Blade. Read more View the full article
EA FC 25 players might have received one of the funniest objectives of all time in Ultimate Team, and it almost feels too bizarre to be true. The latest objective went live during the TOTS promo, which appears pretty normal at first. The fun begins once you start looking more into the tasks. There have been plenty of Squad Battles objectives, but this one seems to have one of the funniest sets of tasks. EA FC 25's Squad Battles Speed Run Objective is too funny to be true The Squad Battles Speed Run objective has seven tasks that you can complete to unlock the rewards. However, the conditions are pretty unique, to say the least. For starters, you'll have to play only in Beginner mode. That's right, only the easiest difficulty is allowed for this objective. Next, you'll have to score an absurd number of goals to complete the objective set. Here are the conditions for all the tasks. Score 10 goals in a single Squad Battles match.Score 20 goals in a single Squad Battles match.Score 25 goals in a single Squad Battles match.Score 30 goals in a single Squad Battles match.Score 35 goals in a single Squad Battles match.Score 40 goals in a single Squad Battles match.Score 45 goals in a single Squad Battles match.[Hidden Content] Scoring goals in Beginner difficulty isn't a tough ask. The defense is non-existent, and the AI won't even try to steal the ball from you. The focus is to grab the ball as quickly as you can, lob the ball to your attackers, and score. Rinse and repeat the process until you have reached the required number. The real challenge will be to score above 40 goals in a single match, which makes the last two tasks quite difficult. You can certainly complete it, but it will be a race to the goal line (45 times at that, which is painstakingly difficult). Sadly, the rewards are too good to miss out on, especially during the TOTS season. Hence, it's time to go back to the roots for the first time since we all started playing the game, and score as many goals as possible.

Night City remains one of the greatest and most immersive videogame metropolises ever, and there are hopes and expectations that in Cyberpunk 2077's upcoming sequel, we'll be able to explore even more locations in and around it. Phantom Liberty already gave us a taste of that excitement. Plus, the corners of Night City we already know and love should look more visually impressive than ever, and will have likely evolved a fair bit, too. But CD Projekt Red appears to be feeling in a particularly ambitious mood, as the sequel will not only see us return to Night City, but seemingly to an all-new city as well. That's according to comments made by Mike Pondsmith, the original creator of the Cyberpunk universe. Read the rest of the story...

It's the eternal Command and Conquer quandary: GDI or Nod? Putting aside questions of which faction is good, which is evil, the Global Defense Initiative often seems to be better on the offensive, but if you want to dig in and sit behind your Obelisks, it's Kane's team all the way. This is part of what makes C&C one of the all-time RTS greats. Both sides are unique, and feel totally different to play, but they're nevertheless carefully balanced. Inspired by Westwood's classics, Tempest Rising feels like the closest we have to a new Command and Conquer. But balancing between its two factions, the GDF and the Dynasty, has so far been a little askew. Thanks to a big new update, that's all changed. Read the rest of the story...

First-person shooters are some of the most immersive games you can play on PC, sliding you into the boots of a range of characters as they go to war, fight zombies, explore space, and go on all kinds of adventures.
