Noelle’s setup lets her block a substantial amount of damage and heal the party simultaneously, and the same stat that powers her shields also boosts the strength of her burst. Just make sure to brush up on Valberry locations, since Noelle needs this rare resource to level up. Is Noelle a DPS character? No, Noelle functions best as a defender and Geo sub-DPS, and she can even pitch in with some healing while her skill is active....

Yes, May the fourth be with you, and may the deals and discounts be with you as well! Today is a day of celebrating everything Star Wars. There’s a new trailer for the Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi series dropping today, and there’s also loads of Star Wars-related deals to be had. There’s so much Star Wars merchandise out there, from video games and Lego to action figures and clothes. It can be overwhelming to try and find the best deals across the internet, so we’ve taken advice from one Jedi master and listed the best places for Star Wars deals this Star Wars day, so you don’t have to try and find the best deals yourself....

Mutations will play out via the creatures in the game, called Biophage. These creatures are inmates at Black Iron Prison, transformed by a mysterious outbreak. As the contagion spreads, it erupts from the body through a series of tentacles. When the tentacles emerge, you have only a short window to kill the virus by shooting the tentacles. Kill the virus, and you get a quick takedown of an enemy, miss and…well, try not to miss....

According to a rather lengthy developer diary posted to the game’s Steam page and the official website, studio founder Raphael van Lierop - who also announced he was stepping down as project lead to work on new things - the team has “decoupled” Story Mode and Survival Mode making it easier to produce content for one without impacting the other. Apparently, the interrelationship between mechanics and content between the two meant some updates the team would have liked to make in one area couldn’t be accomplished because of how they might impact the other....

These are some of my favourite games of all time, but still - it’s impossible to entirely ignore just how… ancient these games often feel. Last year we got a collection of Mario games that included the 25 year-old Super Mario 64, and I was blown away by how well that game has aged. Its movement, the feel of it - it’s still tight and satisfying to this day despite being a prototypical ‘blueprint’ 3D adventure....

If you’re playing a Supermassive Games game, you can probably expect one (normally more) of the characters to die in your playthrough. The Quarry is set to be no different, but speaking with SegmentNext last week (April 28), Byles explained a new mechanic that will be available in the game once players have beaten the game that will let them undo a select number of deaths. “Death Rewind is a retry mechanic that unlocks after you’ve gone through the story, or if you purchase the Deluxe Edition of the game,” explains Byles....

Looks like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will be released on November 17, according to a leak. While the post has since been pulled, it didn’t happen fast enough, as it was saved to reddit (thanks, Wario64). As you will see when you click the link, in Italian, it notes the release date for Xbox One. It is also coming to PC and PS4, so we expect the same date will apply to all three platforms....

The natural pairing for a photography-focused game like New Pokemon Snap is a device to let you bring your in-game photos into the real world - so I wasn’t actually enormously surprised when Nintendo announced it’d be partnering with Fujifilm to allow images taken on the Switch to be printed via their Instax Mini printers. In fact, seeing exactly what Nintendo had gone for, I was relieved. Nintendo is the king of the one-off accessory - a brilliant add-on that’s used for a handful of games but then basically worthless....

That’s according to director Hideki Kamiya who told Nintendo Everything the UI is begin adjusted with The Wonderful 101: Remastered. In the interview, Kamiya said he felt some of the aspects of the original UI were “a little off-putting or unoptimized,” as some of the UI got in the way or “just hindered the experience.” The team at PlatinumGames will also look into smaller details. “Throughout The Wonderful 101, the camera moves around depending on what action is happening, such as a top-down camera or a behind-the-shoulder camera and so on – sometimes it’s even similar to a shooter with the player pressing a certain button to fire and whatnot,” said Kamiya....

These are some of the lowest prices we’ve seen for Borderlands 3 and The Outer Worlds especially, so now’s a great time to get involved with either if you haven’t already. More offers are promised to go live over the next few days, too, so do keep an eye on Fanatical to see if you can snag a bargain on more recent releases. Borderlands 3 for 53% off The Outer Worlds for 53% off GTA 5 for 53% off Red Dead Redemption 2: Ultimate Edition for 42% off...

Confirmation comes from German website GameStar, which recently hosted a range of premium podcasts with developers at CD Projekt Red. The podcasts are in German and behind a paywall, but Reddit user Moraez took it upon themselves to translate the best bits and upload them to Reddit. Moraez’ Reddit post features a whole lot of new information, most of which is interesting in of itself - however, the section dedicated to NPCs is, although short, one of the most prominent parts of the translation....

Sony has announced that the next episode of its Direct-style presentation, State of Play, is airing tomorrow, February 25. The 30-minute show will kick off at 2pm PT, 5pm ET, 10pm UK. This makes it 2021’s first State of Play, and Sony said you can expect updates and deep-dives on ten games coming to PS4 and PS5 over the next few months. Some of the games have previously been announced, and others are entirely new reveals....

Switch owners wanting an extra Witcher fix can pick up Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales from today. Set in the world of The Witcher, the game is a narrative-driven, single-player, exploration-RPG featuring puzzles and card battle mechanics. It tells the tale of Meve, a “war-veteran queen” of Lyria and Rivia. The Northern Realms are on the verge of being invaded by Nilfgaardian forces, forcing her to once take to the battlefield....

Ancient Obelisks are scattered across the Wonderlands, and there are eleven of them in total for you to find and activate.

Earlier today, Twitch announced that it has removed the PogChamp emote, one of the oldest, most recognisable and often used emotes on the streaming service. Twitch said Gutierrez’s tweets “encourage further violence,” forcing its hand. “We’ve made the decision to remove the PogChamp emote following statements from the face of the emote encouraging further violence after what took place in the Capitol today,” Twitch said in a Twitter statement. “We want the sentiment and use of Pog to live on – its meaning is much bigger than the person depicted or image itself– and it has a big place in Twitch culture....

Uncharted actor Tom Holland is set to present an award next week at the Game Awards. That’s according to the show’s organiser Geoff Keighley, who revealed on Twitter that Holland will be a presenter at the show on December 10. The actor is playing a young Nathan Drake in the upcoming Uncharted movie. It’s not clear which category he will be handing out the prize for at The Game Awards....

This article in short explains that the previous full random map selection present in Valorant in the past occasionally leads to frustrating situations where you can run into the same map over and over again, and that there was a shared feeling of frustration revealed in player surveys. Back during Valorant’s launch, 26% of players stated they had run into the same map at least three times over the course of five games....

Agent designers, Kevin Meier and Jay Watford, discuss each change to Chamber and exactly why they’ve made them via a press release. “We know you have been asking for Chamber updates after seeing him dominate your ranked games, pro play, and maybe even your nightmares.” The pair continue, “We want to strike the appropriate balance between preserving his character identity and maintaining Valorant’s game health.” Chamber has been a top pick since his release as a Sentinel agent with great offensive capabilities, meaning Chamber players can easily hold their own ground and dominate a round, or an entire match....

However, a recent report from RPS mentions that a Valve Index restock could be on the way. Specifically, it’s rumored that the headset will go back on sale on Monday, March 9. However, it’s also likely it will sell out almost immediately. The rumor comes from the unofficial Steam Database Twitter page. You can read the post below. It’s a bit fishy, but they also went on to post another tweet, which explicitly mentions the restock....
