The future-noir title, currently in development for PC and both current and next-gen consoles – came out on top in multiple categories, walking away with the awards for Best RPG, Best PC Game, Best PlayStation Game, Most Wanted, and the coveted Best in Show/Best of gamescom....

InDeadlock, Bebop is tagged as a great hero for new and beginner players of the MOBA. With his strong lane presence and great ability to last-hit minions, Bebop can be a solid hero when played correctly. We’ve put together one of the best Bebop builds inDeadlockso you know how to properly build and play this laser-toting hero. Best Bebop build inDeadlock There are essentially two ways Bebop: Spirit, built around combos and a powerful Sticky Bomb, and Weapon-focused, which I find to be a more enjoyable and overall solid build....

Learning to love the grind First and foremost, games are supposed to be fun. This was the argument I used to explain why I didn’t like playing games that presented me with too much of a challenge, because I can tend to get a bit frustrated and give up. Something I failed to understand when I was first getting into games, though, was that there is more than one way to have fun playing a game....

Switching up the Saiyans A lot of news came out of last weekend’sDragon Ball FighterZWorld Tour Finals. For many, the biggest scoop was the reveal of a new run of DLC characters, led by the awesome-looking Kefla. But also noted during the event were several mechanical and cosmetic changes that the fanbase can expect as part of the incoming season three. In a video hosted by Tomoko Hiroki, theDBFZproducer offered exciting info on a new “Z Assist Select” feature, to be implemented in-game at the start of the new season....

Building for a 2019 western release? While I wasn’t able to playDragon Quest Builderswhen it released in 2016, the community members of Destructoid seemingly loved it as it was all they could talk about in the community Discord for a few weeks. So of course I know most of the community (and awriterortwo) is excited about the upcoming release ofDragon Quest Builders 2, even if it is only the Japanese release at this time....

Namazu! Every summer Aomori City (in the very northeastern tip of Japan) holds several festivals with parades, and video game-themed floats manage to sneak in. This year Square Enix representedFinal Fantasy XIVwith an unmistakablyFinal Fantasyfloat, complete with a Bomb, Moogle, Cactuar, and Chocobo. While some of you might be saying “but this isn’tXIV, it’s more genericFF,” — the big giveaway of course is the Namazu (mythological catfish) minion which is straight-up fromXIV....

867-5309 For those who enjoyedOniken‘s brand of tough platforming action and are looking for more, the game will be getting a free update on Friday, December 14 which adds a brand new mission featuring another playable character. “The Rescue” stars the machine gun-wielding Jenny during the events that unfold over the core game’s first two stages. As tends to be the case with these sorts of things, I have to wonder what the architect of the base we’re supposed to overcome was thinking....

Gotta pay to play [Update:Publisher Square Enix released the following statement: “This was a mistake on our side and not our intention to gate the Platinum trophy via the optional Bonus Episode in the deluxe sku. We’ve already started speaking to the first parties about rectifying this.” Looks like all’s quiet on theLife Is Strangefront once more.] Life Is Strange: Before the Stormis coming soon. The prequel to Dontnod’s time traveling episodic adventure launches at the end of August, and just like its teenage cast,Before the Stormseems pretty fickle when it comes to sharing — at least with its Platinum trophy....

But not necessarily better Sometimes when you see a game at a preview event, you don’t even want to write about it. You just know that what was shown wasn’t a good representation of the final game. Malicious intent isn’t always to blame, either; there are just times when circumstances cause a preview to be off. That’s how my first experience playingHomefront: The Revolutionwent some 15 months ago. After Deep Silver quit talking about this open world with so many options, I was strictly led through a demo in such a way so as to ensure I would see everything I was supposed to see....
