We’ve been having a busy time here at TSA, and it’s safe to say that 2024 is suddenly in full swing, with the release schedule picking back up after a few weeks off. I’ve had the chance to play Tekken 8, which is a real heavyweight hitter, while I’ve started on our review for Granblue Fantasy Relink. Besides that I’ve played New Cycle for some bleak city-building, waded through some more Asgard’s Wrath 2, and taken a look at Palworld too.
Aran wrapped up our review of Lil’ Guardsman, a comedic riff on Papers, Please, and really enjoyed it. He’s also made a start in Palworld and caught 19 of the dudes as he focuses on base building to start, and raced through the end of Crysis Remastered to make a start on Crysis 2 Remastered – “I think I prefer the more open setting of the first one, as well as having a protagonist that talked.”
Understandably for a fighting game fan, Nick P’s week has been dominated by reviewing Tekken 8, “which has been brilliant!” He’s also been continuing a Lies of P run and is now up to the final boss.
Gamoc has mostly been playing the excellent Midnight Suns, but did also give Hardspace: Shipbreaker a go, “which was cool but got old as soon as it introduced having to constantly rush off to refill oxygen and fuel, then the completely backwards idea to force me to stop every ten minutes because my shift ends so I have to go through more menus to get back to it. JUST LET ME PLAY THE DAMN GAME!”
Meanwhile Ade has been playing and loving Miasma Chronicles, from the makers of the equally brilliant Mutant Year Zero. “Stylistically it has a definite Fallout 2 vibe,” he says, “which is absolutely a very good thing. Well worth a look.”
There was a big disappointment in Steve’s week, as he wrapped up a review on retro shooter Graven, but he got to mix it with the “bloated but fun” Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. He reckons both could do with being a bit shorter and more focussed, the the latter is very pretty.
And while he’s not played it yet, Tuffcub is very excited about the release of Rainbow Islands.
Now then, what have you been playing?

It’s been 10 years since Twitch Plays Pokémon became a livestreaming phenomenon. On Monday, to celebrate the anniversary of playing Pokémon Red via Twitch chat, the channel’s producers kicked off a new playthrough of the original Game Boy game, with a twist. This time, Twitch Plays Pokémon is being played on official Nintendo hardware, not an emulator.
Reviving Pals in is a necessary step in case you want to continue using your captured companions. Despite the constant comparisons between the game and the franchise, this is a survival title and, unlike Nintendo’s classic series, there is no specific item that automatically restores a fallen creature’s HP and has them ready on the go. You will have to follow a very thorough and somewhat unexplained set of steps to revive your Pals.
With having as large of a map as it does, it is important to know what mounts are fastest for travel. Other ways of moving across the map besides mounts would be by foot, grappling gun, and gliding, but each has drawbacks or niche situations where mounts are the better option. Players running and gliding lose stamina too fast to be efficient, whereas the grappling gun is best for climbing peaks too steep to walk up.
Electric Organs are an essential material in for crafting and supplying electricity to your base. Unfortunately, these items can be a hassle to obtain early-game because they require players to search for Electric Pals to hunt. You can either capture or defeat targets to obtain Electric Organs. This is especially great for those who do not want to eliminate a bunch of cute Electric Pals in the process. There is one other method to obtain Electric Organs, but this comes at a price.
Breeding is an important feature of , allowing you to hatch new team members from eggs produced by other creatures. The crossing of types in breeding allows for unique Pals to be created, but it can be challenging to set up this process without the right equipment. You'll need to reach a minimum level in the game if you want to engage with this system.

From the beginning of the game, Technology Points in are used for basic survival needs in its monster-hunter survival arc. They are a source of progression alongside your level, which helps with certain buildings and catching materials. Depending on the time and place of the game, these Technology Points can be very useful. Regardless, obtaining them quickly is very important to get stronger.
Making progress in can be engaging, but it's not possible to advance characters or Pals forever, as a level cap will eventually be reached after enough play. Since takes obvious inspiration from both and survival crafting games like and, the inclusion of a finite leveling system isn't especially surprising. There's a big difference between a level cap of 25 and 250, however, so it can be useful to know which end of the spectrum ultimately falls closer to, in order to have a good understanding of progression.
Breeding strong Pals is an essential part of being a great Pal Tamer in the new game . Once your base is built and the basic survival accommodations are made, thinking about what will help you next can lead to breeding Pals. Tamers can breed for different elemental types, helpful traits, or even new Pals completely to discover different species. With a little care, cake, and connection, your Pals will be «popping out eggs» in no time.
