Well, science has now given us the tools to find the most optimal Mario Kart 8 build, and the speediest racer of them all might surprise you if you aren’t already a competitive karter. – Levi Winslow Read More
Fallout 76 isn’t like Bethesda’s previous open-world RPGs. While those single-player adventures were somewhat forgiving campaigns that let you build your character however you wanted, the multiplayer spin-off is full of bullet sponge-y enemies that require you to focus on a particular skill set in order to survive the wasteland’s dangers. Two of the most popular builds are “stealth commando” and “heavy gunner PA.” – Ethan Gach Read More
Final Fantasy 16 is a pretty casual-friendly game, despite its shift to combo-heavy action combat. So it’s come as a bit of a shock that The Rising Tide DLC has upped the difficulty quite a bit, featuring some of the most intense boss fights in the entire game. But what if I were to tell you that there’s an even harder boss fight hidden within The Rising Tide that most players likely won’t ever see for themselves? – Timothy Monbleau Read More
As an RPG, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has a number of character stats that influence various aspects of a battle. Luck is perhaps one of the less understood ones. Not only is it an attribute worth raising, but certain characters, like Cait Sith in particular, can benefit from a high Luck stat in some dramatic ways. – Claire Jackson Read More

I love destroying things. The physical destruction of objects can be funny and cathartic. Thankfully, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth lets me indulge my desires for destruction in a limited but fun way. While in Costa del Sol, you can hop on a “wheelie,” the game’s in-world equivalent of a Segway vehicle, and smash it into restaurant tables, seats, barrels, and other property. Fun! Better still, you can earn some neat items for riding around on a wheelie, and finding ways to weave some destruction into your travels can liven up the otherwise pretty boring process of gliding around on your own personal transporter device. – Claire Jackson Read More
