Hoyoverse recently announced the new limited five-star character that is getting released alongside Version 1.5 – Huohuo! Huohuo is a five-star wind abundance character, with a playstyle focused around buffing and cleansing debuffs from her allies while healing them. Her character trailer showcases her clumsy and forever-spooked personality. In terms of gameplay, here’s a condensed,
Does anyone remember playing those old Nancy Drew mystery games for Windows? The thrill of solving a mystery? The daunting task of investigating suspects and poking around for clues? I used to *love* them and have to admit that I end up comparing every mystery game I play to them in some way or another. However,
With the calendar year coming to its close, game award season is upon us. The Golden Joystick Awards started us off today, with a number of Final Fantasy entries being among the winners. Final Fantasy XVI won in two categories, first of which going to Ben Starr, voice actor for lead protagonist Clive Rosfield, taking
Sometimes my reviews require a fair number of caveats. That’s just good practice, in my mind. It’s a good thing to make it clear if you are predisposed to not particularly like a game or predisposed to like it, that sets out a baseline. If I say that I wasn’t really inclined to like something
HoYoverse has just announced three new Honkai Star Rail playable characters for a patch after Patch 1.5. The first character is a Five-star Ice Harmony Character, Ruan Mei. For many of us, we’ve encountered her in the form of a very powerful Simulated Universe Blessing. From in-game lore, we know she is part of the
A couple months have gone by since I had the opportunity to preview Jusant, the latest release from developer Don’t Nod. The demo wasn’t a complete homerun, particularly when it came to the more straightforward elements of its storytelling, but I left the experience heavily enticed by the game’s beat-by-beat climbing gameplay and unique atmosphere.
Have you watched the streams from London, or even better, did yo get to go?! Whether you've already experienced the excitement, or you need to catch up, today's episode is for you, as the Aetheryte Radio crew recaps the London Fanfest 2023!
Sanrio is a company that, in many respects, requires no introduction. You would be hard pressed to find someone who didn’t at least have vague knowledge of the existence of Hello Kitty, the company’s most popular marketing mascot. This goes double if said person was around throughout the 1990s, when the character had a particular
There was a time – and I remember it quite well – when not every single type of game got stapled to an RPG. I don’t even feel like it was all that long ago. It’s not as if no one loved RPGs or anything, but it was a reality that it was something of
World of Horror is something I honestly had thought was already out. I have a number of friends really into horror, and I heard nothing but good things about it back when it first entered early access. Surely this was an already finished game, I thought. Apparently despite how good it already was, there were still more the team wanted to add. Now I had a chance to sit down with the finished product and see if it was really worth all the hype.
The London Fan Fest Keynote just concluded and gave us an expanded glimpse of what players can expect in the upcoming Dawntrail expansion. The keynote began with an extended trailer, showing off more of Estinien, as well as one of the new jobs for Dawntrail: Viper, the duel-wielding melee DPS, which FFXIV Producer and Director
It’s hard to deny the equalizing factor of the Jackbox Party Pack series. Regardless of the personalities of those present or overall friend dynamic, the games typically always feature some neat gimmicks that allow for just enough input to foster player creativity and generate a plethora of inside jokes. And infusing alcohol in the mix?
If you ask gamers of a certain age about content based on comic book properties, you’re probably going to get a mixed reaction. That reaction is justified because of who might be holding onto the IP to make it into a game. This might sound strange given that the latest sequel to Insomniac’s Spider-Man (which

When you dive into the video game sea, sometimes you can uncover a hidden gem. Other times, maybe not so much. But it’s always an adventure regardless, and in the sea that is my email inbox, I came across something that looked a bit different, yet intriguing. The media featured what looked like classic sailing
