Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters need to steal Fallout 4's best feature

Fallout 4, despite being reviewed favorably by critics, was incredibly polarizing among players upon release. On one hand, it vastly improved upon Fallout 3's and New Vegas' shooting mechanics, and the introduction of settlements paved the way for Fallout 76's base-building systems. On the other, its role-playing elements were stripped back considerably, dialogue choices were more ambiguous, and it was more akin to an open-world, single-player shooter than a true RPG.

Palworld fans say one monster outshines its Pokémon version

Panthalus is hard to miss: The water elemental is by far the largest monster inPalworld. The Pal, which controversially appears to take inspiration from Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire legendary Kyogre, looks awfully familiar to Pokémon fans. Despite those similarities, developer Pocketpair designed the encounter so players who experience it won't dismiss it as a rip-off. If anything, the Panthalus fight is a perfect encapsulation of why Palworld has seen such explosive success.

Baldur's Gate 3 Honour Mode player loses 60-hour run with sex

Shortly after the game's official launch, Baldur's Gate 3 received Honour Mode, a difficult version of the game meant for experienced players. It restricts your playthrough to one save file, which is great for when you don't want to be tempted into save-scumming your way through dice rolls and dialogue choices. It's not so great for when one of those dialogue choices cuts your run short.

Prophecies of Ash, Anno 117 Pax Romana's first DLC is better than the haters give it credit for

I've fallen down the Anno 117: Pax Romana rabbit hole this year, despite the negative buzz around it. Steam reviews and the Reddit consensus hold that 117 is empty, dull, and generally just less than its predecessor, Anno 1800. I can sort of see why. Quite a few elements seem like they're waiting for future add-ons to come alive and wake them up. But I've enjoyed myself thoroughly, so when I saw the "mostly negative" reviews for Anno 117's first big…
