5 Stealth Games That Are Really Short 5 That Take Way Too Long

It’s not a completely accurate assumption that the longer a game goes the better it’s supposed to be. The stealth genre landscape generally requires games with longer runtimes than others, though. Top games such as Hitman and Metal Gear require finesse, something that is possible by dedicating utmost time and effort to the game. The ideal playtime for a stealth feature lies between 20-25 hours, with those falling higher or lower being too long and short, respectively....

5 Video Game Franchises That Need A Reboot 5 That Don T

The gaming industry can be a double-edged sword sometimes. Although many people rejoice over the plethora of games that get pumped out every year (as they should), that also means many gaming gems get lost in the sea of content. And considering that revivals seem to be the trend nowadays with recent releases like those of the Resident Evil franchise or the Final Fantasy VII remake, fans can only hope their childhood games get revived too....

A First Look At Skyrim S Dark Elves

Veteran fans of The Elder Scrolls series should be very familiar with the third installment in the series, Morrowind. The game, taking its name from the province of Tamriel it is based in, is the home of the Dunmer, or the “Dark Elves” as they are also known as. In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the Dark Elves will of course return, but will be a less common sight due to this installment in the franchise taking place in the northern-most province of Skyrim, home of the Nords, a far cry in climate from the volcanic regions of the neighboring landing of Morrowind....

Apex Legends Continues To Tweak Its Battle Pass After Backlash Including 10 Free Levels

As a response to a fair amount of outcry from its playerbase, Apex Legends will be getting some further tweaks following its recent Battle Pass overhaul. The developers originally decided it would be beneficial to overhaul the Battle Pass as part of Apex’s shift into its seventh season, which launched on November 4.

Assassin S Creed Chronicles India Review

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India makes some vast improvements over its predecessor in terms of style and gameplay while providing challenging 2D puzzles, but still lacks an engaging narrative. The Assassin’s Creed 2D-esque spin-off trilogy series got off to a somewhat rocky start with its first installment, but Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India makes a valiant effort to get the side-scroller back on the right track. The stealth puzzler isn’t nearly as big or sprawling as the installments in the main franchise, but tough puzzles and solid parkour mechanics make Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India worthwhile for fans of the franchise....

Assassin S Creed Origins How To Level Up Fast

Ubisoft’s bold decision to put an end to its annual release cycle for the Assassin’s Creed franchise appears to have paid off. Assassin’s Creed Origins releases today and so far has been a big hit with critics. In addition to various new changes and updates to its mechanics, Origins introduces a much stronger Role Playing Game aspect with a full fledged loot and progression system. Unlike previous games in the franchise, gameplay is centered around the player’s level, with a significant portion of Egypt locked out to low level players until new skills and levels are achieved....

Assassin S Creed Valhalla How To Change Gender

At the very start of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, players will be given a choice of three options for Eivor’s gender, male, female, or let the Animus choose. While in most video games, this ends up being a significant choice that players are stuck with for the rest of the game, Valhalla allows the player to switch Eivor’s gender at will with relative ease. Coming off the back of serious controversy surrounding Ubisoft’s usage of female characters and treatment of female staff, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla takes the unique approach of allowing players to play as either male or female Eivor at any given point....
