New content keeps coming out for Risk of Rain 2 but there are still mysteries some players haven’t quite solved. The Death Do Us Part challenge is particularly difficult. Finding where the challenge begins can be difficult enough, let alone knowing how to go about completing it. The challenge is worth completing to get Runald’s Band and Kjaro’s Band as a reward and unlock the items in the game. Runald’s Band offers an 8% chance to strike enemies with ice runes, which reduces their movement by 80% and deals 250% damage; on the other hand, Kjaro’s Band offers an 8% chance to hit an enemy with a runic flame tornado that deals 500% damage....

Samurai Shodown has experienced quite the resurgence in recent times, with the release of 2019’s Samurai Shodown serving as a soft reboot for the fighting game series. Now, the Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection offers a deep look into the unique and influential past of the games.

However, there are some players that argue the most powerful weapons should not show up in certain types of matches....

When Spyro: Reiginited Trilogy released late last year, fans were vocal in addressing a particular issue pertaining to the lack of subtitles in cut-scenes, a feature found in most games today. While Activision made it clear the decision to exclude subtitles in Spyro was a conscious one, both the publisher, and developer Toys for Bobs, have been radio silent on the matter since its reasoning was addressed. The latest update coming to the remastered PlayStation 1 adventures of Spyro, however, shows the developer has been listening to fans, and is righting its wrongs....

A thematic reboot at its core, Resident Evil 7’s main story tries to downplay action in the spirit of the original Resident Evil. The Spencer Mansion had its fair share of zombies, but the first Resident Evil was mainly a puzzle game that emphasized exploration and tone over pure combat. The same can be said for Resident Evil 7, heavily downplaying the action that came to define the franchise between Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 6....
