You would not want to play Gibraltar the same way as the illusive Wraith character, who's playstyle is about flanking enemies. Her elusive abilities make her an excellent choice for a player who excels at a harassing or assassin style of p
The game hosts 12 unique legends each with their own individual abilities and skills. Each character has a varying style of optimal play and becoming familiar with your favorite character skills will improve your style of play dramatica
In my own experience, outside of competitive play, it almost seems as though players' mains reflect aspects of their real-life identities. That’s not to say that all Revenant mains are evil people. However, they may, for example, see themselves as having a dark side they can express through this charac
Despite speculation that Electronic Arts would shut down game studio BioWare after back-to-back flops Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem , Kotaku’s Jason Schreier recently published an article claiming the beloved studio is alive and kicking . The game company is working on an overhaul of Anthem , he says, which it may call Anthem 2.0 or Anthem N
Nier: Automata came out of nowhere to wow audiences with an incredible narrative, fun combat, and memorable characters who have a ton of life in them even though they may be robots. Such is the case with 2B, the game's iconic protagonist, who has become quite popular with f
It dawned on me only recently that the two characters with which I have the most wins — Lifeline and Wattson — are upbeat, helpful characters. Though unconscious, my choice to play these characters seems to be a reflection of how I see myself. Regardless of whether this is true for every Apex Legends Map Guide Legends player, it reinforces the value of developing characters that represent diverse backgrounds and worldvi
Horizon Zero Dawn is full of robots, but the largest and most menacing is known as the Thunderjaw. The Thunderjaw is practically a T-Rex on steroids. It has lasers, a razor-sharp tail, missile launchers, and stands significantly taller than Aloy . It is hard to believe that this creature can be killed, but the feeling, once it is dead, is pure adrenal
It's possible the decision to release Apex Legends before Anthem was an intentional move to draw attention away from what EA knew would be a disastrous launch. Maybe in the weeks leading up to Anthem 's release, executives realized the game would be critically panned. After the beta period, players were quick to note how "broken" the game f
The Fallout universe is full of threats, and many NPCs within the game are terrified of Synths. Synths or synthetic humans were created by the Institute to look and act like humans. Many people within the Fallout 4 world are terrified of Synths and their creator, the Institute. The hysteria around these beings is blown out of proport
Destiny 2 may not have quite as many players as other major games, but its community is passionate. They work hard to keep the game alive and support improvements. The core game itself is now free to play on all consoles and platforms, including the newly-launched Stadia . This will spawn even more revenue opportunities as players invest in seasonal content and purchase cosmet
Connor is one of the most iconic androids of all time. He is arguably the best protagonist in Detroit: Become Human, as he is more fleshed out than the other characters in the series. This detective investigates numerous cases featuring deviant androids, with players deciding whether he strays from his programming or decides to follow what his creators
In each of these games, players' characters enter the game on decidedly equal footing, making it a static test of pure skill in a PvP environment. At the time, this could have been considered a hallmark of a battle royale g
None of these battle royale games drew upon "hero shooter" model that Overwatch had popularized. Overwatch is purely a team game. To succeed, individual players must combine their unique abilities to make decisions that benefit the team as a whole. And, because heroes’ abilities to support one another are integral to team success, Activision Blizzard had learned to leverage characters' backstories into social media content such as alternate reality games (ARG) and cinemagra
