Celeste Creator Explains Hidden Mechanics That Actually Help Unaware Players

2019’s Game of the Year contender Celeste was capped off last year with a free DLC level that added a touching coda to the base game’s story. Celeste was hard, but its DLC was even harder. About halfway through, a visual guide teaches players a jumping technique previously discovered and used by speedrunners. That mechanic then becomes required to beat its remaining levels. This is just one example of how the DLC ratchets up the difficulty....

Cloud Strife S Softness Is His Greatest Strength

Many people believe the deepest place on Earth is the Mariana Trench, but they’re wrong - it’s actually Cloud Strife’s eyes. Final Fantasy 7 Remake has the best eyes I’ve ever seen in a video game, and even amongst Aerith’s and Reno’s, Cloud’s are the clear standout. His bright blue orbs seem to pull you in endlessly, and when the game gets its big update (‘Graphics On PS5!’, remember), I’m not sure I’m ready to get lost in them again....

Dark Souls 3 Weapons Ranked Lamest To Coolest

The Dark Souls series has always provided players with a wide range of cosmetics to make the most rad character possible and show them off during a tense PVP match, but they’re often seen using the same boring-looking top-tier weapons. We’re here to argue that if your weapon doesn’t abide by the true “Fashion Souls” creed, it’s possible that you’re missing the whole point. Dark Souls has an absolute ton of weapons, 3 specifically, and they range from “dinky metal stick” to “glowing, gargantuan blade of immense and ridiculous power,” so we’ll be guiding you through some of the lamest and coolest ones available....

Dead By Daylight Maps Ranked From Worst To Best

The different Realms in Dead By Daylight can be a killer’s worst enemy or a survivor’s best friend. While some Dead by Daylight maps are more aesthetically pleasing and others are dull, there’s more to it than that.
