I’d say that the biggest pro for this game is the setting. It’s not late 19th century and early 20th century England are uncharted territory in gaming but for a tale with vampires and hunters, kicking it Victorian or turn-of-the-century is a good starting point. Especially if there are plans for sequels—yes, that was a bit of shade at Sony and The Order 1886.
Mad Max Is an Underrated Game and Worthy of a Sequel.

Besides the smidgen of story and repetitive missions, Mad Max was a fine game that could’ve built up to a good series. Hell, keeping with Avalanche Studios, the first Just Cause didn’t take off but they kept with it and the series popped with the sequel. MM performed well in sales and should’ve seen a second game at least. It was the barebones of something that could’ve been more involved.
What Made the Saints Row Series a Blast.

The combat got better in the series as the world and possibilities opened up. Driving remained the same throughout. It was never great but it didn’t suck either—it’s open-world driving. The lore also improved but as the games went on there just seemed to be less to do in the game world. With that said, the fact that Saints Row didn’t have mandatory racing missions was always a big plus for me.
Is Lifeweaver the Savior of Supports in Overwatch 2?

With Lifeweaver, the only thing that I can think of to help him out is to either buff his damage which I don’t think would make him overpowered. Don’t make it to the point where he can kill DPS players with one clip of ammo, but to the point where he can defend himself against diving characters. The other option I can see would be to buff or change his ultimate in some way. I think that it is probably his biggest flaw. Maybe something like a damage reduction while in the tree’s aura or a small amount of armor or something.
Tales from the East Side: Willhenri’s “Rust” Run.

Hell, there was even a period that Friday where the base was his base. Everyone else left and he was the last demon standing. Not only that but there was some irony in him ending up as the base lord after losing control of the base to YhLad, Moonbape, and Jason Harp.
Again, this one week run had everything I could ask for in an engaging story. The downtime wasn’t even boring because of the looming threat that this base could be attacked at any point. Expect Will to jump to the Kick streaming platform once the app drops but most of the
MnM/Crossroads community who have been mentioned in this Tales from the East Side have migrated to Kick as of this posting.
The Overwatch 2 Lower Rank Experience.

One of the biggest downfalls of the low rank in Overwatch is probably the saddest because the few times that it is good, I remind me of why a game like this is great. Most of the time that I play, there is no one in voice chat. To be honest, it is probably for the best because whenever someone does have a mic, it is usually to boss someone around or to tell them how much they suck or to change into the character that they want them to play.
Rest or Reset: Fallout Tactics.

Of course, mobile can be a hard platform to portray Tactics on and having it on PC as a game where players can create their own maps, mobs, missions, and so on could end up being a cult hit. If anything, it would be similar to Wasteland 3 or Shadowrun Returns/Hong Kong as a returning tactical RPG series.

How Did Nintendo Decide On the Timelines for ‘Zelda’ Games?
The Hyrule Historia has the entire canonical timeline of the franchise and shows where each game fits in with different timelines. Now, the timelines each make sense once the games are put into place and explained by the developers. Remember, some of these games dropped when the technology wasn’t as flexible as it would become for storytelling.
The Great Mobile Game Hunt: Call of Duty Mobile.

I find Call of Duty: Mobile to be strong pick and it could very well find a permanent spot on your mobile device.
