Playing through the critically acclaimed Persona 5 for the very first time is a wonderfully magical experience. The blend of turn-based, dungeon-exploring gameplay with a high school life simulator has been tweaked to perfection this time around, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t a 100+ hour experience that is daunting to new players. It’s completely understandable to get lost in the tons of different Personas to collect, the seemingly endless amount of fusion possibilities in the Velvet Room, and to be lost as to which Personas you should be using....

While players may have been wary of the spinoff’s gameplay changes following its initial announcement, Persona 5 Strikers has been well received by critics, putting fans’ concerns to rest....

Nick (played in his younger incarnation by Joe Dempsie) went into hiding after big pharma billionaire Martin Queller was shot dead on stage at the 1988 International Economic Forum in Oslo....

Where To Find Woobat In Sword & Shield Yes, Woobat takes up Zubat’s spot as the resident cave bat of Sword & Shield....

The Type system is the backbone of the Pokemon franchise. Each one is unique, and certain properties come to mind when a certain type is mentioned. Fighting-types exude martial arts prowess, Water-types elegance, Electric-types speed, and the like. It would only be natural that some people specialize in certain types, and it helps that those people are recognized officially in the Pokemon world as Gym Leaders or the Elite Four members....

Despite a pretty exciting and eventful rollout for Pokemon GO’s first season of Go Battle League, things came to a screeching halt on the competitive scene with the start of season 2.

Since its sudden boost in visibility on both YouTube and Twitch, a number of content creators have begun showcasing the game on their channels....

It may be hard to believe, but next week will finally see the launch of Sony’s next-generation console, the PlayStation 5.
