And just like that, version 3.6 in Wuthering Waves has almost come to an end. Honestly, I kinda have mixed feelings about this current version. Qingxiao and Jingran were really good, but something about the story execution and the airship fleet not being a proper map bugged me. Well, I’m pretty sure that’s about to change soon, as version 3.7 is shaping up to be a massive hypefest. Hsin is finally taking the stage; what more reason do you want to get excited? Let’s take a look.

It’s been quite some time since that 2-way HSR x ZZZ collab was announced. Whatever happened to that? Well, it seems something’s about to happen, as HSR has officially unveiled its side of the show. Zenless Zone Zero is about to make an entry in HSR, and we’ve got some juicy bits, little they may be. Honkai: Star Rail version 4.6 Livestream has just concluded, and although I’ll be doing a separate recap post for it, I feel like this announcement deserves special mention.

As you roam the streets of Dagsion in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave with any of its four playable characters, you’ll encounter plenty of citizens in need of help. But one early quest is particularly spine-chilling. The Monster In the Night quest tasks you with tracking down a terrifying monster that is supposedly stalking the streets of Dagsion at night. Though unlike most quests, you have to figure this one out entirely by yourself.

The No Man’s Sky Cosmos update pushes exploration beyond planetary surfaces and turns the empty space between worlds into a much more active part of the game. Travellers can now chart entire star systems, investigate new deep-space locations, construct orbital bases, take control of space stations, and form alliances with other players.

Musashi Miyamoto is already a strong (and arrogant) swordsman in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, but a few upgrades can turn him into a nightmare for his enemies. However, you’ll discover that there is not one, but two skill trees for your character, and finding the resources that you need is no easy feat. That’s why I’m bringing you a selection of skills that will improve your character’s power and avoid unnecessary purchases.

While Aniimo might be an open-world game with a ton of freedom, it still has limitations that push you to stick to the progression system. This system mainly revolves around your character level. Your Aniimo levels and story progression are both locked behind your player level, so it’s important to raise it as quickly as possible. Here are some of the best practices to do that.

As an open-world exploration game, Aniimo has a lot of little secrets that you can discover in different parts of the map. The nest guarded by Celestis is a perfect example of this. You can find this nest quite early in the game, and it even has a quest connected to it. You can submit three Large Starine in this nest to finish the quest, and here’s how you can find them. If you’ve already found a Starine in Aniimo, which is highly likely, you can look at the item in your inventory.

The heist seems like a modern invention. Look into mythology, though, and you’ll find countless tales of daring criminal endeavors, from Orpheus’ tragic rescue attempt of Eurydice to Ali Baba’s triumph over the 40 thieves. A Sharp, the developers of cult classic indie narrative RPGs King of Dragon Pass and  Six Ages, have returned for Thousand Hells, a heist RPG about going to hell.

When playing a monster-catching game, you’ll generally have to pick a single starter creature to be your first companion. In Aniimo, you’ll have the option to pick between two incredibly powerful beings and obtain a singular blessing from them. However, this choice can be difficult for those who don’t want to miss out on collecting every Aniimo, or for those who want to optimize their playthrough.

Finally, after all these years, I get to relive the rise of Ouroboros again. Ever since the Sky FC remake was announced, this is what I’ve actually been waiting for. I finally have my personal most-anticipated game of the year, sorry GTA 6. I think it’s pretty obvious so far that I’m a massive Trails fan and a bit of a lore nerd.
