In Version 2.0, the Astral Express crew is invited by the rulers of the Land of Dreams to attend the Charmony Festival. In the new destination, Sparkle is introduced.

This cozy farming sim answers the question: What if Stardew Valley was set on the high seas?

Palworld (that «Pokémon with guns» game you've definitely heard of by now) has taken 2024 by storm. This is, no doubt, thanks to the 130 plus pals available, the cool job system, and – mostly – our collective desire for games with cute creatures to befriend.

With Season of the Construct in full swing, it's around the time that players might be looking to re-roll a character or farm out a few more powerful pieces of gear.

Building up your character and being a team player is critical in Helldivers 2.

A common complaint from players in Diablo 4 has centered around the elusive, exclusive Uber Unique items. These rare items, such as and, are easily some of the most powerful in the game — and the most desired for their build-completing properties.

Now, Blizzard has revealed that patch 1.3.2 will allow players to guarantee a craft of any Uber Unique of their choosing.

I’ve spent the last ten days fully immersed in Palworld. If you are blissfully unaware, Palworld is a survival game that borrows elements from popular survival games like Rust, a little “Souls-like” inspiration, some Breath of the Wild, and, of course, Pokemon. Is the whole more significant than the sum of its parts? Is Palworld worthy of the hype? Well, fortunately, we are here to let you know!

Chasing collectables is a time honored, time consuming tradition in World of Warcraft, with each major patch introducing new rewards to chase and grinds to obtain them. Between new zones, holiday events, and special activities like Secrets of Azeroth, there's always something to chase… though some of these grinds have become painfully limited by extreme amounts of RNG or time limits. To their credit, Blizzard has acknowledged these issues with increased droprates and bad luck protection, but has that done enough to make Dragonflight one of the best expansions for collectors, or does Blizzard still have a long way to go?

Blizzard has released a hotfix addressing several Lunar Awakening bugs, as well as the «Lootmaster» Season Journey objective.

Granblue Fantasy Relink allows players to improve their characters via different upgrade systems, including a weapon upgrade system that requires considerable rupies and materials investment.

Sure, Palworld might seem a lot like certain other titles, but the crafting element of the new trending game is quite different.

Once the novelty of shooting a cute and friendly-looking Pal with a gun wears off, it is time to get serious in Palworld and start crafting more powerful firepower and technologies. Just like everything else, you will need to farm materials in order to actually make these new toys. Your starting musket is serviceable, but once you make a Weapon Workbench, you will see way better options to make so long as you have High Quality Pal Oil. Before you try and shove your Pal into a crusher like you’re farming Paldium, that’s not how you’re meant to get this material. There are two methods to get your hands on some, so let’s break it all down.

Diablo 4: Season of the Construct is here and, it's safe to say, off to a less-stellar start than Season 2, with players complaining of some annoying and lackluster seasonal content.

After putting 2,460 hours into The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, series superfan Bobby Blue Holliday has turned to Tears of the Kingdom and now spent over 1,500 hours on a self-imposed quest to become "the first player on the planet to manually cap all materials in-game." 

The game may be called Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, but Ichiban will have an empty wallet more often than not during his adventure. Being an ex-yakuza, work isn’t exactly easy for him to come by, and things only get more complicated after he travels overseas to Hawaii. This new location isn’t cheap, especially if you want to pick up some top-tier gear and weapons or just enjoy the more luxurious restaurants. All your Yen will be converted to dollars when you transition, making it easier to see just how poor you are at all times. Street brawls will get you a few bucks, but you’ll need more efficient ways to earn some scratch by the mid to late game. Here are the best ways to farm money in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

Farming the materials for Xianyun’s Ascension in is the first step to unlocking the character’s full potential as a support unit. Xianyun is a 5-star hero who debuts in Version 4.4. She is the human form of the Adepti known as Cloud Retainer. Xianyun has an Anemo Vision and uses a catalyst in battle, allowing her to trigger Swirl Elemental Reactions with her Normal Attacks.

Palworld has been out for less than a week and already people are selling max inventories and achievements on eBay for upwards of $40.

Palworld is the new massive open-world survival adventure that is the first game in a long time to challenge Pokémon's dominance over the monster-collecting genre.

There is so much more to do in Palworld beyond catching and battling your Pals. This is also an open-world survival game, filled with crafting and base-building elements. A lot of materials, like Paldium Fragments, are natural resources you can get in the world, while others you need to grow yourself, such as wheat. Wheat, as you would expect, is necessary for making flour to cook things like cake. And cake is required for breeding Pals, so having your own supply of wheat on hand is the best way to make sure you can breed the most powerful Pals in the game. Wheat isn’t so easy to come by, so we’ll equip you with all the knowledge required to get your farm going.

Another Code: Recollection is the new Switch remake of the Nintendo-published DS and Wii cult-classic story-driven adventure games Another Code: Two Memories (known as Trace Memory in North America) and Another Code: R – A Journey into Lost Memories.

Pearls of Warding are essential resources to collect in Diablo 4 Season 3, but how can you farm them efficiently?

One Terraria player is attempting the ultimate challenge: a hardcore, master mode run with a mod that makes 30 times more enemies spawn. If that sounds ridiculous and impossible, well… that's because it is.

There’s no real explanation for it in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, but in the time between it and the preceding title, Ichiban has lost almost all of his skills, levels, and jobs. Even his personality stats are back to zero! That’s to be expected coming into a new game and just means we get to earn all those levels all over again in the tropical paradise of Hawaii.

Every survival and crafting game will have you grinding out a ton of materials as you build and upgrade your base. Palworld is no different, except for the fact that you can put a bunch of cute and colorful Pals to work for you. No matter what you’re trying to make, there’s one basic component that remains constant for almost the entire game: Paldium. You will use this to make everything from the Palbox to Pal Sheres needed to catch new Pals. There are only a few ways to go about getting it, so figuring out the most efficient way to farm it early will save you a lot of headaches in the future.

YouTuber Ross Scott, AKA Accursed Farms, is considering starting a class-action lawsuit over the shutdown ofThe Crew — Ubisoft’s 2014 online-only racing game, which is planned to shut down at the end of March.

Your Pals may look a little too close to Pokemon in some instances in Palworld, but they do have some important mechanical differences. Yes, they all have elemental types that give them advantages over other Pals, just like a pocket monster, but your Pals can’t and won’t evolve just by battling and earning XP. Instead, the only way to get new and improved Pals outside of catching higher-level ones in the wild is through breeding. However, Pals aren’t all that keen on producing offspring without you setting up the right conditions first. If you don’t know what will get your Pals in the mood, it may be impossible to guess. Let’s talk birds and bees with a full breakdown of how breeding works in Palworld.

Melpaca is one of the mid-tier Pals you’ll likely try to catch once you start feeling comfortable in Palworld. Luckily they can be found in a couple places in the game. Here’s how you can find a Melpaca for yourself in Palworld.
