Choosing a game to be thankful for in 2020 can be tricky. Given the current state of the world and how many of us are looking for ways to keep occupied while cooped up, I feel like we should be thankful for virtually any good, engaging games. But the one that I was thankful for the most is a <a href="https://Www.Bauplanungsbuero.net/firmeneintrag-loeschen?nid=48833&element=https://www.genshinart.com/">SLG Game money guide</a> that felt optimistic, warm, comforting and colorful. Even if said game is about ferrying the souls of the dead towards the afterlife. I am, of course, referring to Thunder Lotus' Spiritfarer. Aside from being a possible GOTY contender in general, Spiritfarer hit a certain sweet spot for me, not only giving me the freedom to craft an insane ship filled with tons of activities and giving me an open world to explore, but also providing one of the year's best casts of characters. Azul, Gustav, Stanley...all of them were a blast to hang out with and I truly felt a bond between them as I learned more about their stories. It got to the point where I actually purchased the art book because I heard it had more info about them, and once I learned what not only went into their backstories, but how the world around them is all related to everyone and Stella in various ways, and the absolute tons of metaphorical layers that went into everything, I couldn't stop thinking about Spiritfarer for the longest time, about how what I thought were small bits suddenly had much more meaning. And all of this is just so refreshing. In a year where other games try to attempt drama by being continuously blunt, bleak and depressing by presenting horrible situation after horrible situation to the point where it almost cartoonishly feels like award bait and you stop caring about everyone in the plot, Spiritfarer decided to go hard in the opposite direction. Vibrant landscapes, cute animal characters who just want to hang out with you, a vast ocean filled with magical adventures...all of this means that when the emotional moments reveal themselves in a natural way and do hit, they hit hard. Spiritfarer never stops being comforting as a whole, but it deals with the themes of death and how everyone approaches them in such a beautiful, mature fashion. It's a brilliant bit of fantasy with the year's best writing and it's something we all need right now.
When players explore Teyvat in their Genshin Impact adventures, they might notice that advancing even one World Level can be too overwhelming for their team - especially if they’re not strong enough to contend with enemies. While a natural thing to do here is to just step back a World Level and leisurely earn Adventure Ranks, they will sometimes experience being booted up a World Level against their will. If they spent their Adventure Rank grind with an underleveled comp, then they’ll end up being yeeted to obliv
In this scenario, using Diona’s Elemental Skill, Icy Paws , can remove this debuff and all its effects. But you should note that for a few seconds after this, Diona will have the Cryo effect on her. So she might be hit with some Elemental Reactions. This can be easy to avoid, but you just have to time it ri
Like regular banners, the pity built up on Chronicled Wish cannot be applied to other banners, but interestingly, will carry over to the next Chronicled Wish , despite them only running about once a y
On the limited Character Event Wishes, there will be a featured five-star that is only available for a limited time during their own event series (usually three weeks at a time, with occasional reruns on later dates for another three wee
Chronicled Path works similarly to the Weapon Banner's Epitomized Path system, with some differences. Players chart a course for whichever five-star character or weapon they hope to pull. When they pull a five-star, it's a 50/50 split whether they get the one they selected or a different one. If they lose the 50/50, the next five-star is a guaranteed win. It's a gamble between the selected five-star and all the other featured five-stars, not a gamble between the featured five-star and a Standard p
The Pyro Traveler is a versatile unit that can operate as both on-field and off-field DPS. Before getting their C6, the Pyro Traveler operates purely as an off-field Sub-DPS who gets on the field to enter the Nightsoul's Blessing state and starts dealing off-field Pyro DMG. If you’re playing them like that, build the Pyro Traveler with 4pc of Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City to maximize their off-field presence by buffing their t
Americans celebrate Thanksgiving every November. It’s a time when families gather, friends reconnect and communities unite. On Thanksgiving you also announce what you're thankful for in life, so several of our writers decided to let everyone know exactly which video games they're thankful for. These thanks are comprised of releases from Thanksgiving 2019 to Thanksgiving 2020 and made up of a variety of reasons.
