This article features mild spoilers for Assassin's Creed Mirage, though nothing players won't become aware of beyond the opening hours of the game.

If you're looking for your next cozy farming sim after Stardew Valley or Harvest Moon, I've found one for you to try during this year's Steam Next Fest. 

Basim's main weapon in is a sword, so it's important for him to wield one that looks good as he slices and dices through the guards of Baghdad. Unlike other recent titles, alternative weapons like axes or bow aren't present in the game, meaning that one sword or another will remain equipped throughout the entire game. None of the available blades in are entirely lacking in style, but some are more basic than others, making abandoning less glamorous options once others become available to Basim a good call.

One of the undeniable highlights of Bethesda's latest release, , is the incredible battles that take place on board a spacecraft while traversing through the vast reaches of space. Although these space battles are not uncommon, and the enemies the Spacefarer will face are at most only slightly challenging, there are some rare ships cruising in space that pose an enormous threat — if the player is unfortunate enough to encounter them. The most dangerous enemy ships are undoubtedly the three legendary ones, and although they are difficult to locate these incredibly powerful battleships are an ever-present threat; however, they are not equally deadly, some are far more dangerous than others.

It’s official — you’ll soon be able to experience the music of Stardew Valley in live orchestral form, as a real-life concert tour is set to kick off next year across the globe.

Daggers play a big role in , so picking the design with the best looks can have a surprisingly major impact on the game experience. Although each dagger has its own unique stats, it's possible to prioritize aesthetics thanks to a transmog system included in the game.

represents a concerted effort by developer Ubisoft to return this once immensely popular franchise back to its beloved roots. In spite of abandoning the controversial RPG-style gameplay of the past several entries in the franchise, maintains an impressive array of customization options — most significantly in the character aesthetic department. Though the latest installment in the series has a limited supply of unique outfits and costumes when compared with previous installments, the developer has evidently elected to value quality over quantity as the vast majority of 's apparel options are exceptionally well-designed — though, inevitably, some are so much better than others.

The protagonist Basim is the most recent in a long line of leading player's in Ubisoft's franchise, and stacking him up against the others can reveal how likely it is for him to make a mark. protagonists tend to share some core traits, with a set of skills that let them parkour across rooftops and take down enemies and a link to the Assassin Brotherhood or the HIdden Ones. Basim doesn't necessarily break fundamentally new ground, but he also isn't a carbon copy of any of his predecessors.

Though abandons many of the RPG-orientated elements of the franchise's past few installments, it retains a few excellent features. The Assassin's outfit has been an important part of the franchise since its inception in the mid-2000s — both for exclusively cosmetic reasons and for the perks that come with certain outfits. Although the significance of the protagonist's apparel peaked during the series' controversial RPG phase, the decision of what outfit to choose remains an incredibly important decision in the latest installment, — a significant and welcome return to the franchise's action-adventure roots.
