Looking back, the Deathloop gameplay trailer is eye-catching because of what how much of the game it seems to capture. First, it highlights one of the more interesting gameplay loops in any trailer of the year. The story and the gameplay itself will all be wrapped into the loop that the player goes through, which each death seemingly restarting a «run» of the game. It can be tricky to persuade fans about a product and tell the story of what the title is all about with a simple trailer, but the Deathloop gameplay reveal does just t

Back in the old days of League, vision control was the ultimate way to play the game. Junglers and supports were both packing Sightstone items to help keep the map lit up. With the removal of the ward jungle item, along with limits on wards across the board, the game completely changed. Supports were stuck holding onto Control Wards instead of getting any extra stats during late-game scenar

However, no canned corporate apology can take the place of common sense, and I’d hazard to guess most rational people can see through Riot’s denial. The writing is on the wall, and in the court of public opinion, it spells out a pretty grim message. It’s hard to read through Stephanie’s account and walk away with anything other than disgust at how stressful and dehumanizing this experience has been for her. A real flesh and blood person has been distilled down into a hollow facsimile, then sold for more profit than most of us will ever seen in our lives. It’s nauseating on every possible le

Picking Brand does, however, Arcane Bilgewater come with some caveats. Early game, he relies on maintaining a healthy mana pool and hitting crucial skill shots. However, once he reaches his item spikes –looking at you Liandry’s Anguish– he is a terror to deal w

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate just celebrated its two-year anniversary . Leading up to the release of the game, Nintendo’s crossover fighting game had some absolutely epic trailers, including the glorious reveal trailer showcasing the Inklings getting their first taste of Smash Bros. action. Since then, the remarkable reveal trailers have continued to shock and amaze. Whether it was the nostalgic reveal of Banjo and Kazooie or the shocking first look at Joker, Nintendo often puts together exciting trailers to showcase which fighter is joining the bout. But the most recent reveal may be the best

Some of the best trailers are of comical and whimsical nature, and the Bugsnax announcement trailer took the internet by storm when it dropped. The premise of the game is explained very quickly, and it just seems too wonky to even be true. Bugs are made up of food, said bugs can be eaten, and those who eat the Bugsnax bugs start to transform into the food itself. All of this is shown with a few hotdog jokes and funny remarks, but more importantly, the theme song that plays over the trailer is extremely catchy. If there is a reward for most unique trailer of the year, Bugsnax likely runs away with

At the end of last year, Riot Games announced an effort to expand the League of Legends IP beyond its MOBA roots. Acquiring and partnering with several third-party studios, Riot Games’ new initiative for its 10th anniversary has spawned a League of Legends fighting game, a popular FPS called Valorant , a collectible card game called Legends of Runeterra , and even a business/management sim for LoL esports. The League of Legends universe will soon reach far beyond the base game into a ton of new gaming experiences, a sentiment that Respawn Entertainment recently expressed with the hit battle royale Apex Legends as w

Perhaps it’d be interesting to see how the Apex Legends community responds to the idea of spin-off titles, and whether it’d be a worthy venture for Respawn Entertainment and/or EA. At a glance, Apex Legends and Titanfall bring enough to the table lore-wise for this to be absolutely possible, but it’s a matter of gauging whether the interest is there. Somehow mixing the whimsical nature of Apex Legends ‘ lore with the seriousness of Titanfall could be an interesting experim

Kennen , from the artwork in Wild Rift, appears to be the same shadow warrior imbued with magical traits. It’s hard to imagine him getting caught, but thankfully he won’t be caged for too long if you’re an active pla

From my perspective, then, there’s only really one decent thing Riot could do in this situation. For over a month, the public has rebuked Seraphine’s existence. Her in-canon profiting from genocide, her insincere and creepy Twitter account, and now, the fact that she’s very likely based on a former employee’s ex. This character has been deemed unacceptable by fans and casual observers alike, so in my opinion, it’s time to do away with her entir
