Both Cat Quest games follow a similar gameplay loop, offering the same action RPG experience. There are enemies in the overworld, but the landscape is littered with dungeons of various levels. The goal is to level up and challenge dungeons of increasing level/difficulty for the weapon/armor hidden inside that will raise your stats the best so you can survive tougher areas.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak Review – Dirty Jobs Done Dirt Cheap https://twinfinite.net/reviews/the-legend-of-heroes-trails-through-daybreak-review/ https://twinfinite.net/reviews/the-legend-of-heroes-trails-through-daybreak-review/#respond Fri, 28 Jun 2024 13:00:00 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=1091384 The Calvard arc begins in the Trails series, and it's brought plenty of changes. 11 games in and there's still plenty to see.]]>

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak on PS5

The Trails series is something of a marvel at this point, as this release marks the 11th release of the mainline series that began in 2004. Yet, 20 years later, it is still innovating and taking the series to new heights. That’s not to say this is a game only for series fans. As with all arc introduction games, this is a possible starting point for new players. However, it’s not quite a highly recommended one. As amazing an entry as this is, it is still a piece of a much grander puzzle that deserves to be experienced from an earlier point.

Trails Through Daybreak presents a new piece of the Zemurian puzzle and takes players into the Calvard Republic for the first time. While there are plenty of returning faces, the main focus is on Van Arkride, who runs a business (called Arkride Solutions) for those needing some grey-area help. Van is referred to throughout the game as a ‘Spriggan,’ which means someone who will take on any job, regardless of legality. For this reason, he is at odds with the Bracer guild and Calvardian police.

Here's why you should.]]>

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is the latest Monster Hunter game to be ported to PlayStation after an original PC and Nintendo Switch release. Though it might share the Monster Hunter name, its gameplay structure is markedly different from the mainline series. Because of that, whether you’re a newcomer or a series veteran, it might be hard to decide whether this game is actually for you. Here are our reasons why you should give Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin a shot.

A Nice Introduction to the Monster Hunter World

Monster Hunter Stories 2 serves as a great introduction to what the world of Monster Hunter is like. While it’s wildly different in terms of gameplay, it does allow series newcomers to get an idea of what to expect in the main series.

Activision Still Aiming to Release Urzikstan Warzone Battle Royale Ranked in 2024 https://twinfinite.net/call-of-duty/activision-still-aiming-to-release-urzikstan-warzone-battle-royale-ranked-in-2024/ https://twinfinite.net/call-of-duty/activision-still-aiming-to-release-urzikstan-warzone-battle-royale-ranked-in-2024/#respond Wed, 29 May 2024 15:55:30 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=1080834 Anyone up for an extra challenge?]]>

Since the Urzikstan map was released for Warzone in late 2023, fans have been waiting for ranked to return. It was most recently mentioned in February in a blog post about Season 2 on the Call of Duty site. It was light on details; all it had to say was that it would come later this year. After three months of silence, while fans have been asking on Reddit and Twitter, there is finally a new update.

Call of Duty-focused outlet Charlie Intel shared in a tweet that Activision promised Ranked was still coming in a call with creators. However, while this is still a confirmation, it is still in the works. The only downside is that Activision didn’t announce a possible date. Instead, they once again give it the “later this year” release window. That might not be completely what was wanted, but at least Activision knows players still want it.

Tales of Kenzera: ZAU on PlayStation 5

The Metroidvania genre is full of gems that have strong gameplay foundations, keeping players engaged in whichever world they find themselves in, and incentivizing them to keep coming back for more. That said, not many of them feature stories that touch upon more poignant themes that require more emotional investment from the player. This is where Surgent Studios’ Tales of Kenzera: ZAU shines brightly, even if there are several issues that dim its brilliance along the way.

Tales of Kenzera: ZAU - Zau and Kalunga

With the central core of the story being about the love of a father and son, players will join Zuberi, a child who is now mourning the loss of his father, in the distant future. That sense of loss is profound, and the only way to placate the unnerving swell of emotions is through a book written by his father, of a shaman called Zau who is facing the same predicament in the lands of Kenzera. Yet, the healer is able to strike a deal with the God of Death, Kalunga. By overcoming three lost ancestral spirits, Zau wants the deity to bring his Baba back from the dead.

Best Games Like Rise of the Ronin https://twinfinite.net/features/best-games-like-rise-of-the-ronin/ https://twinfinite.net/features/best-games-like-rise-of-the-ronin/#respond Thu, 04 Apr 2024 15:47:27 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=1059900 What to play next now that you've experienced Japanese history.]]>

Players should have had enough time to enjoy Rise of the Ronin’s excellent story and gameplay by now. That means it might be time to decide what to play next. While Rise of the Ronin is unique in many ways, there are also similar games that can provide some of that same magic and are just as enjoyable. Therefore, we have gathered a list of the best games like Rise of the Ronin.

Ghost of Tsushima

It would be impossible to make a list like this without including Ghost of Tsushima, as the two are very similar games. The game starts with Jin Sakai losing a fight against invading Mongol forces that take his uncle hostage. His initial rescue efforts end in further defeat, and he realizes that defeating the Mongol threat isn’t something he can manage alone.

Sony’s 2024 has been jam-packed so far. With highly anticipated exclusives like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Stellar Blade releasing in 2024, Sony is giving players reasons to turn on their PS5. We hope May gives us a good reason to subscribe to PS Plus because the latest free games have been hit or miss. Or, maybe I’m just salty because my PS Plus predictions keep getting thwarted. Anyway, here’s our PS Plus May 2024 predictions & release date.

PS Plus May 2024 Release Date

PS Plus Essentials free games are consistently released on the first Tuesday of the month. The first Tuesday of May happens to be the 7th, so May 7th is most likely when the PS Plus May freebies will drop.

4 Games That Should Limit Fast Travel Like Dragon’s Dogma 2 https://twinfinite.net/features/4-games-that-should-limit-fast-travel-like-dragons-dogma-2/ https://twinfinite.net/features/4-games-that-should-limit-fast-travel-like-dragons-dogma-2/#respond Tue, 02 Apr 2024 10:20:44 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=1061454 Where the journey is the destination.]]>

One of Dragon’s Dogma 2’s more divisive features is how its fast travel is quite limited, which is for the better in my mind. Here, we’re going to look at why that change works in Dragon’s Dogma 2 and how limiting fast travel would work in other games.

While Dragon’s Dogma 2 doesn’t completely limit fast travel functionality, it still deemphasizes the feature itself. This can be felt in the rarity of Ferrystones, but this is by design. The world itself, enemy variety and performance issues aside, feels alive in the many roaming enemies, NPCs, and Pawns.

Developed by 4A Games, Metro 2033 is the first Metro game and is largely linear, while taking place mostly underground. You play as the protagonist, Artyom, a man who was raised underground, which is a bit safer from the outer world’s post-nuclear dystopian landscapes. At least, until you meet violent mutants, bandits, and other haunted spookies further below the surface.

MLB The Show 24 on PlayStation 5

Some things never disappoint, and when it comes to video game baseball, San Diego Studio’s MLB The Show series has always been a top performer out on the bases. This year’s entry is no different, with MLB The Show 24 building on the previous great work, especially on the storytelling front. While there is still room for improvement in certain areas, the stage is set for yet another homerun entry.

The standout feature of the The Negro Leagues returns with season 2, with four more outstanding stories available to players at launch. Once more, players keen to learn more about the history of the sport in the early years are treated to an experience unlike any other. From the fantastic video packages to the narration provided by the president of the Negro League Museum, Bob Kendrik, it is pretty impossible not to be pulled into this trip down memory lane for those who have prior knowledge and an even more enlightening journey for those of us who are discovering it for the first time.

You play as a Witcher, an enhanced human that hunts monsters and creatures with swords and magic at your disposal. The combat is fast, fluid, and responsive as you dodge enemy attacks, follow up with some of your own, and then blast them with a wave of fire.

‘Live service’ has been a vilified term in the gaming space for over a decade. Gamers are seeing through predatory monetary schemes that publishers are abusing with the live service model and have become wary. But the live service concept isn’t one without merit. MMOs are live service by definition, after all. FFXIV and World of Warcraft are some of the industry’s most critically acclaimed games. Still, they’re the exception and not the rule. With the sea of live service dumpster fires out there, which ones truly stand out as awful? We’re here to explore such a question with the top 10 shortest-lived live service games of all time.
