Witchfire stats leveling guide

Witchfire is a punishing first-person shooter with roguelike elements that I liked to describe as what a Soulslike first-person shooter would be like. Sure, the developer, The Astronauts, is calling it a roguelike, but it shares so many similarities to the Soulsike games we’ve all played for years that it feels like one. It’s the DarkSouls FPS I’ve always wanted. In Witchfire, you play as a Preyer, a person who has special powers that get from Witchfire, which also allows the Preyer to level up

Witchfire elixir crafting guide

The world of Witchfire is a dangerous, unforgiven place, with enemies ready to put you into the ground. It’s a good thing that you’re immortal. However, being immortal doesn’t mean you don’t want to heal up after a battle or during. However, unlike most games, you don’t start with a massive supply of healing elixirs and instead will need to create your own. Which at first is harder than it should be, as you aren’t given any direction on how to do it. But that’s where we come in, and we’ll show

Pokemon Van Gogh Card Experience Get Apology From The Pokemon Company

Sometimes…things just don’t go to plan, and that is exactly what happened when the special Pokemon Van Gogh exhibit in Amsterdam finally opened. It was intended to be a unique collaboration between the beloved art museum and the equally beloved entertainment franchise. The highlight of this event was going to be special Pokemon cards that were given out and sold. However, as we noted in our latest episode of the Nintendo Entertainment Podcast, that didn’t go down like it should. Instead of the

SEGA halts development on its zero-G FPS HYENAS

In a shocking twist, SEGA has revealed that it has halted development on its upcoming zero-G extraction shooter, HYENAS, which was in development by Creative Assembly. What’s weird about this is I literally just played this game as a beta test, and people were responsive to the game. However, it would seem that SEGA doesn’t think this game would make the sort of impact that it was looking for and has decided to pull the plug. This is what SEGA had to say about why HYENAS development was halted.

Metroidvania title Ghost Song receives new content in free update

Ghost Song, the indie-developed Metroidvania title that was released earlier this year, is about to get even better, thanks to a new update. According to the developer of the title, Matt White, a Ghost Song update 1.2.12 was recently released for the game, contains a number of game fixes, and adds new side content. While I didn’t have any issues with Ghost Song when I reviewed it, I did mention that the game was a bit on the short side. Hopefully, this new content will add some more longevity t

Lies of P Update 1.2.0.0 Adjust Bosses Health and More Helpful Changes

While writing my Lies of P review, I mentioned that I felt that a few of the bosses were a bit overturned, among other issues, and it would seem that others felt the same. Due to that feedback, Round8 Studio and Neowiz have released Lies of P Update 1.2.0.0.0, which addresses those things and so much more. Several bosses, the King of Puppets, Simon Manus, and Fallen Archbishop Andreus, have all seen their health pool drop. While Simmon Manu’s second phase will be a bit easier to stagger, which

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which has promised to be a smaller game than compared to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, is dropping in two weeks. And to get PC gamers prepared, Ubisoft has revealed what PC specs would be required to play the game. Surprisingly, the PC requirements are really low and don’t demand anything cutting-edge.
