Out this week Don’t Starve‘s whimsical world full of hungry horrors has been available to PC gamers since 2013 and later came to the PlayStation 4 and Vita, but it always seemed to me that it would find a perfect home in the Wii U. What better way to view your randomly-generated map than on a second screen in your hands? Even better, how about having the full game in your hands on a large screen so that you can comfortably fight famine?...

Sorry, Sony fans Dragon Age: Inquisitionwas a pretty fantastic game, exceeding my expectations coming off of the disappointingDragon Age II. BioWare is keeping the good times rolling this week with a new $15 DLC pack calledJaws of Hakkon, which you’re able to pick up now on Xbox platforms and on PC. Wait,Inquisitionwas also released for PlayStation platforms too, right? Well, yes, but apparently there seems to be a spot of timed exclusivity afoot....
Let’s get this out there now: Yes, there’s liquid. But this is notWorld of Goo. It’s also notFluidity. It’s its own thing, and it’s pretty cool. Yes, there’s physics with the liquid, but PSN and XBLA releasePuddlehas you tilting the world to manipulate different types of liquids to move the liquid to a target destination. You’ll slosh around everything from water to molten metal through some pretty weird locales, and each liquid has its own properties and weights....
Monkey’s paw strikes again TheManaseries has been having something of a revival as of late. With severalremakesandports, Square Enix’s once-forgotten franchise is front and center once more. And because this is Square Enix we’re talking about, you know what’s coming next. Today, the publisher revealed the firstEchoes of Manatrailer. The action RPG will be a free-to-play title for iOS and Android devices. Set in theManauniverse, it will be the first new entry in the series since the Japan-onlyRise of Mana, which, coincidentally, also launched on mobile devices before getting ported to PlayStation Vita....
Patch 11 As a reminder, Bethesda gave us an update on howFallout 76will evolve throughout the year, and the short of it: eventually it’ll be the game it was supposed to launch as. Battle royale is in if you want a distraction (I’m good), and an update later this year will add NPCs (yes). Slowly but surely this project is being salvaged. Part of that improvement effort is coming in Patch 11, which will arrive in “mid-July....
Spoiler Warning Final Fantasy XV: Comrades, the multiplayer expansion for a game that simply does not stop receiving support launches this Halloween–June 10, 2025. It’s free for those holding the season pass, but will require PSN Plus or Xbox Live to play. This is the first instance of a non-MMO mainlineFinal Fantasytitle getting multiplayer support. I wonder if they aren’t testing the waters for a fully co-operativeFinal Fantasy XVIlikeFable 2. Role-playing games where you can play the full story co-cooperatively isn’t very common but could be a neat thing for companies to explore going forward....
Whenever I go do a preview for Destructoid, I always record the audio so as not to forget anything later when writing up the preview. While listening back to my time withKirby’s Epic Yarn, I realized that I haven’t had this much pure fun with a videogame in a very long time. I’m not saying I don’t have fun with videogames in general. Rather,Kirby’s Epic Yarnleft me with that feeling you got the very first time you discovered a videogame as a little kid....

Go watch Towers of Doom Heroes of the Stormdoesn’t have the numbers that other MOBAs do streaming-wise, but this past week proves that it absolutely deserves to hang. Culminating in a nail-biting Finals series between the Korean team Gen G. and the European Team Dignitas, the 12-team “Mid-Season Brawl” (read: halfway to the Heroes of the Storm Global Championship, or, HGC, finals at BlizzCon) just ended. Gen. G, backed by one of the best players in the world (Rich, who mained Hanzo for the series), was the heavy favorite — and after an upper bracket advantage win and a victory on Valskaya Foundry (one of Heroes’Overwatchmaps), it seemed like it was in the bag....
Save HoTS This very month Blizzard’s new CEO came out andissued a paralyzing statement regardingHeroes of the Storm. The game would immediately begin winding down, with less frequent hero (character) releases and the complete obliteration of a mainstream, Blizzard-funded eSports league. The loss of HGC (the tournament that ends in a huge BlizzCon bash) was the biggest blow for players. Well, the community is clapping back with a league of their own....
They’re not too tough As you make your way throughDead Island 2, the game will gently ease you into all of the campaign’s concepts: including blocking, attacking, drop kicking, Curveballs (more on that soon), and inherent character abilities. All of those need to be used together to take out Becki the Bride: the first major “boss” of the game. The Shuriken Curveball (ability) is insanely good early in the game One of the cooler mechanical elements ofDead Island 2is the Curveball system, which is a fancy term for “active ability....
The Beast Sorcerer is one of the Mythic units you can get inAnime Defenders. Based on Megumi Fushiguro from theJujutsu KaisenManga is one of the rarest units in the game (being Mythic and all), so having him in your deck is a nice bit of prestige. There isn’t really a special requirement for getting this unit, but I can give you tips on ways to improve your chances. But, as a bonus, I’ll also tell you how to evolve him into Monster Sorcerer....
