The hype for Tears of the Kingdom is understandable for its various improvement, such as allowing Zelda gamers to create all sorts of crazy vehicles, but these men went too far to get early access to it.

Luckily, this TotK Shrine is located in plain sight and isn't hidden underground or in a cave or anything like that, so players should have no trouble reaching the puzzle room.

Insomniac is now commonly known for its charming science-fiction adventures in the Ratchet and Clank franchise, but its Marvel’s Spider-Man franchise is gradually transitioning from that same endearing tone to a much darker take. This is likely in preparation for how graphic and mature a Wolverine game will need to be since one of the few details shared about it thus far is that Marvel’s Wolverine will feature brutal violence dished out by the player.

The game originally served as a major launch title for the PS5, but now more gamers will be able to get their hands on it, which is pretty exciting even though it also seems like a strange choice.

<![CDATA[Ninja Gaiden Fans Should Check Out This New Game]]> In the weeks following the launch of the Nintendo Switch, the Switch eShop was somewhat of a barren wasteland in terms of available titles. The Switch's early days were heavily reliant on players making their way through Zelda: Breath of the Wild's hundreds of potential hours of content, with new releases for fans to sink their teeth into few and far between. One of the early bright spots on the Switch eShop was a game called Kamiko published by Flyhigh Works - a top-down Zelda-like similar to Link to the Past. Recently, Studio PICO had Flyhigh Works publish its newest indie game, Shinobi Non Grata, which is another retro throwback, although its inspirations are much different.

In Tears of the Kingdom, Link can once again seek solace at stables to restore his health, tend to his horses, and even accumulate Pony Points, akin to a loyalty program for Hyrule's finest accommodations.

<![CDATA[Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Could Have Done More With One Area]]> Though The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom did an excellent job of reimagining a familiar Hyrule, the changes made to Eventide Island seem to have overlooked the potential this notorious location had following on from Breath of the Wild. As one of the game's more interesting and challenging shrine quests, Eventide Island was a testament to players' wits and ingenuity to prove they had mastered Breath of the WIld's various abilities, mechanics, and strategies when stripped back to the very basics. But The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom falls short of attempting to deliver the same challenge, leaving the island as little more than optional exploration.

After two previous delays, the game's new release date of September 6 now feels closer than ever, but Bethesda's decision to not include multiplayer has some eager fans disappointed with the lack of a mode that could make Starfield a gaming experience that goes above and beyond for players. Despite the initial lack of multiplayer, all hope isn't lost quite yet for those who were looking forward to having an epic sci-fi multiplayer experience.

<![CDATA[After Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Hyrule Warriors Has the Perfect Blueprint for a Sequel]]> Just as Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity helped reshape and explore Zelda: Breath of the Wild's history, Omega Force could follow up this Zelda spin-off with another retelling of Hyrule's legacy through the lore Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has now established. Though Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity has a tenuous relationship to the canon of Zelda, something which was the target of speculation ahead of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, it still served as an interesting insight into the world before Zelda: Breath of the Wild. So while it might remain just as non-canon as its predecessor, there is room for a potential follow-up to Age of Calamity.

Though its length was rightfully criticized, and some fans still prefer the first game's story, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales delivered a slew of improvements when it comes to the series' combat mechanics, traversal, and side activities. But it wasn't all perfect, and there's one big pitfall that Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales fell into that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 needs to desperately avoid.

<![CDATA[Final Fantasy 16 is Hiding a Dark Secret]]> Final Fantasy 16 is just around the corner, and much of the title's gameplay has been presented in great detail. Of the title's newest features, none are quite as exhilarating, or unique, as Final Fantasy 16's Eikon battles. Eikons, previously referred to as Summons or Eidolons, have existed within the Final Fantasy series since its very beginning, allowing players to call upon their incredible power in certain battles. Eikons will play a much bigger role in Final Fantasy 16, with individual characters, called Dominants, being hosts to the creatures and wielding their unique abilities. Protagonist Clive Rosfield is one such character. However, his Eikon stands in direct contrast to the others revealed thus far, proving that Final Fantasy 16 is still hiding a dark secret.

Among the many details that made Zelda: Breath of the Wild so popular among players was the character of Kass, a nomadic minstrel encountered throughout Hyrule with his melodic accordion and wise words shared with Link. But even though Kass played an integral role in some of the game's shrines and DLC, he is nowhere to be found in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

As with any loot-driven game, there are pieces of gear that tend to dominate the meta, either due to the current sandbox or general design advantages, which players will favor over items that fit into a more specific usage or play style. Stronghold has been one such armor piece due to its synergy with swords, but thanks to the newest rework, it may become a more viable option for Titan players.

What makes Destiny 2's Ghosts of the Deep Dungeon a popular addition is that each of the main encounters doesn't feel like the same mechanic over and over again, which is more than what can be said about the Root of Nightmares Raid from Lightfall's launch. As customary with new pieces of content like Dungeons and Raids, Ghosts of the Deep also comes with its signature Exotic weapon, a trace rifle called The Navigator, which is quite broken - but in a good way.
