Updated on November 1, 2024, by Aditi Jeyanathan: The Seven Archons of Genshin Impact are the current rulers of Teyvat after the Archon War ascended them to the throne. They may be the Gods that bestow civilians with visions, but there’s more to them than meets the eyes. The game has introduced six out of the seven nations, yet still not much is known about each one lore wise. As players await the coming of the final chapter, all we can do is gather what information we do have and make an assump...

The daughter of the Yashiro Commission's Kamisato Clan, Ayaka, is a Cryo main DPS in Genshin Impact . When it comes to building Freeze teams, Ayaka is one of the best characters to consider because of her ease of use and DPS. But that’s not only what Ayaka excels at; her high Cryo DMG allows her to join other team comps and perform well, which is what made her one of the best characters in Genshin Impact for a long t Unfortunately, the 11th Harbinger of the Fatui has a major flaw in his playstyl...

After players deliver the cargo, the LTV will now be available on the map for players to use for the remainder of the deployment.

Rise of the Triad: Dark War is an FPS with tonnes of clever ideas and brimming with personality. The 2023 port of the title by Nightdive Studios and New Blood Interactive reignited interest in the title for many retro shooter fans, and with it came all the excitement and silliness of the base SLG game Collectibles and its expansions. This also included the unusually-named ‘This Causes An Error This nifty attachment actually doubles as a melee weapon , replacing the player's standard weapon-butt ...

The undead in particular deal serious melee damage, and walking across certain spots will cause them to teleport in. Worse still are the zombies armed with shotguns, as they fire them rapidly with no need to reload. While they can have their guns knocked out of their hands by being shot, shooting their heads is the only way to kill them. All of this made the 'Mansion' level almost unbearable. For countless players, the amount of cheap jump-scares and sudden ambushes made this level both frighten...

Ironically enough, it has been described as a nightmare to play by fans. There are long falls into damage-inducing slime, mandatory tightrope walking sections to progress, copious amounts of platforming, and punishing enemy placements that sour the experience. There’s even a section at the end of the level where slipping into the toxic waste will leave the player unable to escape, and they'll eventually die. Considering its bloated size, it’s also a terrible choice for deathmatches, and it's no ...

For a more AoE team for Ayaka in Genshin Impact, add Kokomi, who has a large off-field Hydro application. Make sure to infuse Kazuha’s Elemental Burst with Kokomi’s Hydro, and the duo will apply Hydro to the entire battlefield for a few seconds.

She heals, shields, cleanses, and even buffs her allies. Diona is a great character...

Modern Warfare 3 's new partitioned plating process allows for other partial actions in between loading a second or third plate (such as finishing or starting a reload or taking off a gas mask), meaning players can rapidly reload and replate simultaneously after grabbing a can of Speed Cola.

Players will also find that when aiming down sights, the auto-aim will line up the sight of a weapon with a target's head rather than center mass. Players will need to have the aim assist settings enabled to take advantage of this eff Duke Nukem Forever has been criticized considerably ever since its notorious development cycle and after its eventual release date. The writing, visuals, puzzles, and jokes did not sit well with many. One level was considered to be particularly heinous, that being ...

Set roughly a thousand years after the events of Divinity: Original Sin, the story begins with all the Origin characters along with the player and other NPCs on board a ship taking them to the prison island of Fort Joy, guilty of all being able to use the power of source like Rivellon's equivalent of a witch hunt. Source was declared an evil force, and all sourcerers have been rounded up and fitted with source muting collars to prevent them from unleashing their powers, which is quite a reversal...

Any offensive armaments like the Mortar Strike can be excellent at quickly removing the Terminus forces around an extractor, just be careful not to get caught in the effect area. Throwable tactical and lethal equipment are also effective in this regard - when choosing between Epic tactical gear options, the Cymbal Monkeys or the Kazimir Device , the latter will pull the mercenaries into the blackhole effect , similar to zombies, making it more effective when dispatching a large group of Terminus...

The sheer number of options can be daunting to any new player of Divinity Original Sin 2. For this guide, the term "abilities" will cover Attributes, Combat, Civil Abilities, and Skills. Here is an overview of abilities for beginn It would make sense that the player may want to build out a party that is balanced all the way through. If the player has a character that performs ranged area attacks, then they might want to have fewer melee characters that could be hit with friendly-fire. Summo...

Instead of being limited to being human, Divinity: Original Sin II gives the player the option to also be an elf, dwarf, lizard, or undead, though that last one which is personally the most interesting option is not presently available in the Early Access build. There are also optional origin stories that the player can use for their character, four are currently available but more will be included in the final release. Origin stories not selected by the player will be seen in NPCs met during th...

Combining a Blood Rose with an Empty Potion Bottle will create the Attar of Blood Rose. This unique Potion will provide a +1 bonus to all the player's stats and lasts until death. While the Empty Potion Bottle is very common, there is only one Blood Rose in the game that the player may obtain, and it is found in Radeka's Cave on the island of Fort Joy. Players who invest points in the Five-Star Diner talent can double the effects of Attar of Blood R Larian Studios funded the development of ...

The player can create the Chemical Warfare Grenade from an Empty Cannister and Intestines. This grenade will inflict the Diseased status on an enemy for four turns and deals poison damage, which can be useful in the early game. Intestines are found on corpses, and players may also buy them from trad Creating a Lockpick is a quick and easy recipe that requires a Hammer and Nails. While this produces only 4 Lockpicks, the Hammer isn't consumed during crafting and remains in the player's inven...

There are numerous preset classes to choose from: battlemage, conjurer, inquisitor, fighter, shadowblade, wizard and several more. In addition to the preset build players can select talents such as Elemental Affinity, Ambidextrous or Picture of Health to name just a few of the many.

Divinity: Original Sin II is projected to be completed sometime in 2017. The Early Access build is accessible in Steam with a preorder. This version is obviously not the full game and may not have the same level of polish the final product will, so those wanting the complete final build would be advised to wait until it becomes available. For those wanting to get into the new Original Sin now, this build is worth the asking price. The first act of the campaign is available for both single and mu...

The tag system is a new feature introduced in this sequel, which allows specific dialog options to become available based on gender, race, profession, and origin story. New tags may be gained and current tags may be lost based on character decisions and achievements.

Most PC gamers who enjoy RPGs are aware of Divinity: Original Sin its near-universal acclaim . The praise is not undeserved either; the original Original Sin was a massive RPG with meticulous attention to every detail across the board to ensure it would stand out among all other PC games. With both its critical and commercial success, any follow up has some troll-sized boots it needs to fill, and while the early access build only offers a fraction of the adventure, things are already shaping up ...

On the note of killing magisters, combat in Divinity: Original Sin II is a complex but enjoyable affair. Battles are turn based with everyone having a set number of action points every turn. There is no finite MP meter but everything costs AP, including moving on the battlefield, and a lot of skills have a cool down period. Elevation factors into battle as well, with those on higher ground getting a damage bonus while those beneath them suffer a penalty. Trying to damage an enemy typically requi...

There are many treasures and interesting hidden encounters on the island and a good portion will be missed if the player is fixated on only solving the quest that is supposed to lead to the escape from Fort Joy. Original Sin II gives the player a lot of freedom in regards to their play style and how they want to interact with NPCs, but remember that every action carries its own consequence. During the review play through, Fane started peaceful and diplomatic with all magisters and other NPCs lur...

Divinity: Original Sin II pulled off the impressive task of taking the kitchen sink approach to game design by cramming as much into it as possible yet somehow making it all work, making it a fantastic title for solo or multiplayer gaming. Playing the Divinity: Original Sin is not required to enjoy this title or its story, though having played the first game will make the experience more rewarding. Everything about Divinity: Original Sin II is of the highest quality and any negatives that could ...
