“...no, you can have some water in the afternoon if you’re quiet.” I’m sorry, you’ve caught me just cramming the last of the Kotaku team in the Holiday Closet. As they rest and recuperate in tangled proximity, I have control of the site, and as such can write about indie games no one’s heard of yet. And use proper…

Nothing is better than sitting down after a long day to watch a slice of life anime. These highly-regarded types of shows are known for their portrayal of human relationships and meaningful stories. In addition, writers and animators reveal their true ability by realistically exhibiting these fictional characters. So, out of all the intricate storylines, what is the best slice of life anime? Before we dive into the top show of this sort, let’s look at some honorable mentions.

Valorant’s meta is in a pretty good spot right now. Following a rebalance of its controllers, the arrival of a new initiator, and a nerf to Chamber that has been controversial but undeniably effective at reintroducing trap-heavy sentinels to the game, the meta supports a huge variety of different Agent compositions. Even Yoru is enjoying a renaissance these days!

But there’s one Agent who’s fallen so far from grace and been neglected for so long that he’s taken over the mantle as Valorant’s biggest meme: poor old Phoenix, the flash-heavy duelist with a kit of utility that isn’t just useless to his teammates but less effective than his own support Agents for fragging out.

Update 06/25/2022: Riot Games has confirmed it is trialing a number of buffs to Phoenix on Valorant’s Public Beta Environment server (PBE). These include a stronger and faster flash, reduced weapon re-equip time after using Blaze, and Run it Back ceasing to remove shields after use.

Update 07/12/2022: It appears as though the Phoenix buffs that were being trialed in the PBE server are now official and are live in Valorant as of Patch 5.01 (Credit ValorLeaks). These are as follows:

After creating your Riot Games account you’ll be able to login to Valorant and begin playing, but you aren’t stuck with your account name as your in-game tag. Here’s how to change name in Valorant if you’re unsure of the process.

How to Change Name in Valorant

As alluded to above, by default, your gamer tag in Valorant is whatever account name you entered when you created a Riot Games account. Sometimes, these names can be awkward because so many names have already been taken. Don’t worry, though, this is changeable.

The process is super simple and can be broken down into four easy steps:

It’s Memorial Day, and to celebrate the long weekend, we’re shining the spotlight on the asymmetrical multiplayer genre. This category features games where two groups face each other, but each side has unique, sometimes wildly disproportionate, skills and goals. As evidenced by many of the year’s recently released and upcoming titles, like Evil Dead: The Game, IllFonic’s Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleased, and Dragon Ball: The Breakers, the genre is seeing a resurgence. There’s no shortage of asymmetrical games you can jump into right now if you want to hone your skills or build up anticipation for soon-to-be-released titles.

Hot off an exciting weekend of tons of news from Star Wars Celebration 2022, including the reveal of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and details about The Mandalorian and Ahsoka, a new trailer for Season 2 of Star Wars: The Bad Batch has arrived. 

In it, we get new looks at the Bad Batch, of course, as well as Darth Sidious aka The Emperor and Wookiee Jedi youngling Gungi. With a look at Gungi, we now know that he survived Order 66, which sought to kill and end the entirety of the Jedi. The trailer also reveals that we can expect Season 2 of The Bad Batch to drop onto Disney+ this fall. 

As you can see in the trailer above, the titular Bad Batch of heroes are still doing their thing, searching for what they want to do now that they’re free. Of course, meanwhile, Sheev Palpatine’s empire is on the rise and the crew will need to deal with that while extending their helping hands to others. It looks like they’re after new allies, too, which hopefully includes Gungi. 

It turns out that free-to-play MMO Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds, which recently launched worldwide, is tied up with the blockchain. Developers Netmarble have also said that they're looking to implement NFTs in to the game by the end of the year.

Vampiric survival crafting game V Rising has been a runaway hit since it entered early access a couple of weeks ago. The developers over at Stunlock Studios have now laid out their current priorities for the game's progress, emphasising that it still has a "journey" before its full release.

Readers may remember my delight over the demo for Little Witch In The Woods, and I'm happy to report that game is now out in early access. It's already much more polished than the demo, with more yet to come. It's a life sim with a bit of a Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing vibe, except instead of farming you are a witch called Ellie (size: small) living in a biome (type: forest).

In the story you start to free the nearby village from cursed vines, and this requires that you catalogue and collect ingredients for spells, and thence expand your repertoire of witchy recipes. At the same time you can trade spells and magical candy with locals for currency, which you can use to improve your little machines - a roaster, a caldron, a press for ingredients - to make even better things, more efficiently. It's a satisfying process of mastery and exploration. But that is not the important bit. The important bit is that Little Witch In The Woods is disgustingly adorable.

To be honest, I found Computex 2022 kind of underwhelming; this is usually the biggest event in the PC gaming hardware calendar, and had returned to Taipei after an all-remote 2021 show, but ended with only a smattering of major announcements in the bag. We got nothing on Intel’s Arc graphics cards, and Nvidia’s keynote revealed some new DLSS games but otherwise went light on GeForce deets.

That said, this year’s show wasn’t a bust either: there was fresh AMD Ryzen 7000 info, Corsair’s first crack at a gaming laptop and, at long last, some PCIe 5.0 SSDs you can actually buy. One day. In the future. That’s in addition to the wackier, moon-shooting tech on display, without which it just wouldn’t be Computex. So, in descending order - from the interesting and sensible to the blinking ludicrous – here are the PC gaming highlights from Computex 2022.

The idea of leaving everything behind for a life completely opposite of the one you’re living is an appealing prospect. So much so that many life sims offer that kind of fantasy life. Apico is one such game, involving a rural life beekeeping on an island. However, as it turns out, beekeeping means not only raising and breeding bees and gathering their honey, but keeping an eye on flowers and so many open windows.

As with many games of this kind, things begin with an individual abandoning an urban lifestyle. They grew up in Port Apico, and decided to return to keep bees. Which means starting from scratch. You bring nothing back to the island. Fortunately, getting started is as easy as collecting an axe from some quests, chopping down a small part of the forest, crafting items to build a home and workshop, and getting some wild bees and hives.

If you're watching the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series and want yet more backstory, it sounds like you could do a lot worse than read this month's latest Star Wars novel, Brotherhood.

Brotherhood takes place during the Clone Wars, and stars both Anakin Skywalker and Kenobi off on another adventure. But it's the novel's cameos which have sparked some extra attention - seeing as they acknowlege a couple of well-known video games (thanks, GamesRadar).

For starters, Brotherhood apparently includes a "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" appearance by Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order star Cal Kestis, who was but a youngling at the time of the novel's events.

UPDATE 31/5/22: Activision Blizzard has now officially confirmed reports it has called off the release of Diablo Immortal in Belgium and the Netherlands.

"Diablo Immortal will not be available in Belgium or the Netherlands, and will not appear on Battle.net or the Belgian and Netherlands App or Google Play Stores," an Activision Blizzard spokesperson told Eurogamer this morning.

"This is related to the current operating environment for games in those countries. Accordingly, pre-registrations for the game are not accessible in those markets."

The weeks in the run-up to E3 - or what remains of it - are always something of a dry spell, which perhaps may explain some of the more outlandish nature of the topics for discussion this week. After a presentation from TV manufacturer, TCL, rumours are starting to gather pace that Pro/enhanced consoles will come from Microsoft and Sony in 2024. Meanwhile, Microsoft is planning an xCloud streaming stick - something that does actually seem to be happening - and news emerges from Sony about its long term strategy, covering PC, mobile and a 'longest ever tail' for PlayStation 4. All this and more is discussed in the new DF Direct Weekly, embedded below for your viewing pleasure.

The TCL story likely has no real basis beyond conjecture from the company - after all, a non-affiliated organisation is unlikely to have visibility into the console plans of any platform holder. There are multiple reasons why we may not see mid-gen Pro/enhanced consoles - which we'll be covering in a separate article later on this week - but first and foremost amongst them is Sony's own prediction that the semiconductor shortage won't be fully resolved until 2024. Why limit the sales of the existing model just as they're really taking off by introducing a more expensive version that Sony is likely to lose a lot of money on? And do we really need more power in a world where Nintendo Switch and Series S have been so successful?

Back in February, Nintendo made a very out-of-character move and provided access to a huge library of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl’s sound effects and music, even encouraging people to use them in their own (non-commercial) projects. What a lovely thing to do! So of course, three months later, it’s closing it down.

Today Bandai Namco Entertainment released a new commercial for its upcoming JRPG Digimon Survive.

The video, which is brief like most commercials, still manages to pack in glimpses at cutscenes and even gameplay.

Of course, we get to see plenty of familiar Digimon, this time associated with brand new characters.

You can check it out below.

Digimon Survive is coming for PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, and Nintendo Switch on July 29, 2022.

A long time has passed since the announcement of the game, but after an extensive series of delays, it appears that it’s finally almost ready to release.

If you’re unfamiliar with the game, below you can read an official description, directly from Bandai Namco:

“Celebrating the franchise’s 20th anniversary, Digimon Survive is a tactical RPG with a focus on storytelling and turn-based battles. Takuma Momozuka goes on a school camping trip only to find himself transported to a mysterious world full of monsters and danger. Join Takuma and Agumon as you craft your story and fight your way back home in Digimon Survive.”

They say home is where the heart is, and that statement couldn’t be any truer than in Mojang’s hugely succesful create-’em-up. Yes, while there are a ton of super fun things to do in Minecraft, building your home from nothing to something special is definitely one of the most satisfying. If you’re here, though, you’re likely wondering what the best cottages in Minecraft look like. Well, we’ve curated a handful of the best cottages in Minecraft for your viewing pleasure. So, without further ado, let’s jump into it!

Chinese developer Kuro Game revealed its upcoming game Wuthering Waves with a gameplay trailer and a cinematic one.

The gameplay looks quite similar to Genshin Impact, including the visuals, but there appear to be more traversal elements and freedom.

Here’s how the developer describes it:

“Wuthering Waves is a story-rich open-world game with a high degree of freedom. You wake from your slumber as a Rover, greeted by an expansive new world filled with novel sights and newfangled tech.”

For now, iOS and Android are the only confirmed platforms, but you never know with this kind of game, Other platforms may be announced down the line.

You can watch the trailers below, alongside a description of the story.

“Welcome to the new world, Rover.

Today Bandai Namco released a new character trailer of the upcoming fighting game JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R.

The video focuses on one of the manga/anime’s most beloved characters, Jotaro Kujo. Of course, you can expect all the “Ora Ora Ora” you can humanly take.

You can check it out below.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R releases on September 2 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

If you’re unfamiliar with the game, you can read an official description below:

Stunning visuals authentic to Hirohiko Araki’s Style

Many fans of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure are captivated by Hirohiko Araki’s unique art style.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R captures the passionate character expressions that are vintage JoJo, allowing you to experience the JoJo universe with powerful imagery as if Hirohiko Araki’s manga had come to life.

Valorant‘s popularity has skyrocketed since its launch back in 2020, and it’s easy to see why. The synergy of tactical gunplay and a variety of special abilities makes for a unique FPS experience that demands skill, teamwork, and clever strategy. Not every game goes according to plan, though, and if you find yourself in over your heads in a competitive, ranked game, sometimes there’s just no choice but to give up. In this guide, we’ll talk you through how to surrender and forfeit in Valorant.

What the Command to Surrender in Valorant Is

To forfeit in Valorant and surrender to the enemy, simply complete the following steps:

Remember, you can only /FF and surrender after the fifth round of the game. If you try and do it before this, it’ll simply roll the vote onto the next round. If you have already called a surrender that failed you will get one more opportunity after the pistol round of the next half.

Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds is a mobile entry that mimics the trappings and aesthetics of Studio Ghibli, much like other Level-5-developed titles. A beautiful, animated introduction immediately sets the tone and provides a brief introduction to story elements that will drive the game forward. With some metatextual commentary, Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds is candid about its identity as an MMORPG. Its players traverse a fantastical online world. The game shows incredible promise. Like NieR Re[in]carnation or Genshin Impact, it demonstrates just what this particular market is capable of. However, it is held back by aggressive monetization and monotonous mechanics.

Players can select from a handful of different classes, each with their own unique specialization. I picked the Swordsman class, which is supposed to have an equal distribution of attack and defense stats. But this feels mostly insignificant due to the “auto-play” functionality. This includes things like auto-running to objectives and auto-combat. You can turn it off, of course. But it ultimately doesn’t change too much about early gameplay. While Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds has immediately recognizable visual design, little actually sets it apart from other mobile games of its ilk. I found myself feeling the same kind of exhaustion that I had when playing Lineage II Revolution, another “MMORPG” style mobile game by Netmarble.

If you’ve ever wondered if people in the world of Star Wars play sports that don't involve racing repulsorcrafts, we now know that they play at least one: Blitzball. 

No, you didn’t misread that – it says Blitzball, you know, the underwater hockey-like sport played by Tidus, Wakka, and others in Final Fantasy X. That’s because in the canonized novel Star Wars: Brotherhood, which is about the relationship between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, a reference to Blitzball being played in a local lake is made. How do we know it’s the Blitzball from Final Fantasy X? Well, the author of Brotherhood, Mike Chen, is the person who revealed this fun detail, as reported by GamesRadar. 

#6: There's a reference to a sport called Blitzball played in a local lake. Blitzball is basically underwater hockey played as a minigame in Final Fantasy X. As a former NHL writer, I freaking loved Blitzball and spent hours winning leagues. pic.twitter.com/uad4uIMcrA

Back in March, I began playing Grand Theft Auto V for the first time ever. I somehow missed it in 2013, and as the years went by, I realized maybe I just wasn’t that interested in it. However, I couldn’t shake the idea that I had a GTA-sized gap in my gaming knowledge, especially as I write news stories seemingly every month about its massive sales numbers, which somehow keep increasing, the continuous flow of GTAV Online content, and more. 

GTA V is as prevalent today as it was in 2013, so when the new-gen editions on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S were released in March, I decided to finally give it a go. And, unsurprisingly to most reading this probably, it lived up to the hype. So much so that I’m still playing it today, more than two months later. I love playing through the game’s main campaign and the Strangers and Freaks missions, but I’ve found that my absolute favorite thing to do is just drive around while listening to music. 

As if the previous fifteen indie games weren’t enough for you, here is another collection of interesting-looking in-development indie projects that you should very probably pop on your wishlist. Scroll on to discover at least something that’s going to catch your eye (wallet).

During the recent closed alpha test, we sat down to talk about all things MultiVersus with the game's director, Tony Huynh, from Player First Games. In this interview, we talk with Tony about what MultiVerus is, how it is to work with Warner Bros on the project, philosophies on its core combat designs and business models, and much more. 

Game Informer: Can you tell us about MultiVersus? What’s the quick pitch of it?

Tony Huynh: MultiVersus is a cooperative platform fighter. It's free to play. And it's a game that has a lot of the barriers removed, that's really easy to pick up, but also a really smooth, gradual mastery curve into the game. Its focus is on cooperative team-based gameplay. So from the ground up, everything about it is team-based, working with your ally, all the abilities and moves are based around team play as well as having a huge iconic character cast of really awesome characters. We spent a lot of time on making the characters play the way that you think that they would play. We try to support every single input device, like keyboards and controllers. In an effort to remove all barriers, we also have a lot of resources poured into making really good online play through dedicated server rollback netcode. In a nutshell, that is what MultiVersus is; it's a very cooperative focused, social-focused platform fighter that I think everybody can pick up and play and then also invest thousands of hours, like I have, into it. [laughs]

Working for a video game website, I engage in many playful, though sometimes heated, debates about games with my co-workers. We recently discussed the best Kingdom Hearts characters, and, surprisingly, several of us excluded Sora from the cream of the crop. However, a defender propped up Sora’s one defining good trait: his overwhelming positivity. In response, I jokingly said if optimism is all Sora offers, he should be replaced by a superior beacon of positivity: Ichiban Kasuga, star of Yakuza: Like a Dragon. We had a good laugh and moved on, but the idea lingered in my brain. I need this to happen. 

I’ll preface my next statement with this disclosure: I like Kingdom Hearts. Now that blowback immunity is activated, I think Sora is lame. He’s a good kid with a great heart, and he’s fun to use in Super Smash Bros. However, Kingdom Hearts III made me finally accept that I haven’t really been into Sora as a personality since (maybe) Kingdom Hearts II. Much of that probably has to do with his dialogue; it’s unbearably cringe-worthy at times. Not to mention he’s also got a bad case of Ash Ketchum syndrome; the dude is umpteen games deep, and he still isn’t an officially recognized keyblade master? More than anything else, though, I find Sora bland. 

After discussing a good deal on an incredibly rapid NVMe SSD, I thought I should let you know about something on the other side of the spectrum: a 500GB NVMe SSD going for just £36. This is the Crucial P2, a drive that's been reviewed warmly here at RPS, and it's a 34% reduction from the drive's UK RRP.

Samsung's excellent 980 Pro PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD has been reduced on Amazon UK, where a 1TB model with heatsink is down to £120 from £170. This makes it only a touch higher than the cheapest drives in this category, for one of the best performing models.

Third-party developers have released new airports for Microsoft Flight Simulator alongside new screenshots of another.

V Pilot Designs released El Caraño Airport (SKUI) serving Quibdó in Colombia.

The airport is available exclusively on the official Microsoft Flight Simulator marketplace for $11.99 both for PC and Xbox.

While we can’t link to the official marketplace’s listings, all you need to do to find it is search for “SKUI.”

My first battle royale skydive was in the early access version of PUBG. I landed on the outskirts of Lipovka and, with the devastating SCAR-L, made quick work of enemies. There were brief moments of gratification, but securing that delicious Chicken Dinner tested my patience for dozens of hours and proved too frustrating. Fortnite’s cartoonish aesthetic and enticing crossovers scratched my casual FPS itch, but the base-building mechanic constantly shattered combat momentum. Warzone’s sensory overload was downright overwhelming. With arena sizes that seemingly rivaled open-world games, a high combatant count, and annoying purchasable killstreaks, Call of Duty’s battle royale reminded me that less is more. 

And then there’s Apex Legends, the great equalizer – where skill, tactics, and dumb luck (RNG) coalesced into intense, energetic bouts. Even three years after its surprise launch, Apex Legends continues to be the best battle royale out there. 

Today Atlus released another daily trailer of its upcoming JRPG Soul Hackers 2, focusing on one of the locations that will be featured in the game.

This time around we go back to the Pizza Restaurant called “Bon Appetite” where you can find the “Critical Boscaiola” pizza, which I imagine is a pizza with Mushroom that can boost your Critical.

As usual, the trailer also includes a daily horoscope displaying Libra at the top of the fortune ranking, and Capricorn at the bottom.

You can watch it below.

Soul Hackers 2 releases for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC (Steam and Windows Store) on August 26, just one day after the Japanese launch on August 25.

Tunic started with a difficult choice for lead developer Andrew Shouldice: stay at his stable job or take the plunge and quit to work full-time on his budding game idea. In 2015, Shouldice closed his eyes and jumped. However, when asked why he made that decision, he initially hesitates. 

“Why indeed?” Shouldice answers after a beat with a chuckle and a dramatic tone that suggests Tunic’s development cycle was a long one. There is no single incident he can point to that spurred him into making his choice. Instead, several factors, including how much he enjoyed making past one-off projects and his dwindling excitement for his job, influenced his decision to strike out on his own. His departure wasn’t without uncertainty.

“I remember thinking to myself; this might be a bad decision,” Shouldice says. “But I would rather make the bad decision now than always wonder what could have been, you know? Which is very cheesy, I understand. But that was sort of the thing that ended up pushing me over the edge. I really want to do this. Maybe it’s a bad idea, but I have to know.”

Seven years after its inception and four since its grand debut on the E3 stage, Tunic has finally launched. The vibrant isometric action game puts you in the boots of a sword-wielding fox fighting through a world of winding paths, mysterious structures, merciless enemies, and hidden secrets. Its art style, combat, and setting earned Tunic an ever-growing crowd of fans over the years. But while it’s currently one of the highest-rated releases of the year, Tunic started as a small solo project.

Hey, there’s a new Ni No Kuni game out! And it looks beautiful! This should be cause for celebration, but we don’t deserve nice things. So instead, we have got a mobile/PC gacha game that is built on a foundation of crypto nonsense.

War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius has been utterly dominated by the Light-based evasion meta for the past few months, but we’re starting to see a shift in the PvP scene. Things started shaking up when the GLEX unit Esther bolstered the Lightning element, and with the release of Astrius as well, who gave the Water element the hard carry DPS unit it sorely needed.

With this week’s update, however, it’s starting to seem like Dark is about to take over the PvP scene. With the Persona 5 Royal collaboration, we saw the release of Joker, who’s proven to be a pretty formidable Dark gunner. And this week will see the release of Great Detective Leela, who’s going to be a 100-Cost Dark unit who’s both tanky and hard-hitting.

Here’s a rundown of her skills:

• Shadow in the Moonlight (Limit Burst): Raises own DEF Piercing Rate, then deals Damage (L) to targets within range and chance of inflicting Blind for 3 turns and additional effect: lowers Slash Attack Res while Blind is in effect.
• Graceful Undoing: Deals Damage (M) to targets within range and removes all buffs.
• Little Leela’s Tactical Tips: Raises Reaction Block Rate of allies within area around self for 3 turns and recovers a set percentage of own HP (L) when HP falls below 20% when taking damage (1 time).

We’ll also see the Early Summer Part II login campaign on Wednesday, where players will be able to get various bonuses, including unit shards for Leela herself.

War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is now available on mobile devices.

Wordle releases a new puzzle for players to solve each day, and today is no different.

The list of possible answers is pretty long, but you should be able to narrow down that list if you’ve already attempted a couple of guesses. By using the color-coded clues, you’ll be able to determine if a letter is in the wrong place, or if it isn’t present in the word entirely. You’ll then be able to start a process of elimination by going down the list and ruling out words with letters that you’ve already guessed wrongly, and come to a conclusion from there.

If you’re still having trouble, however, or if you’re already down to your last attempt, here’s today’s Wordle solution to help keep you afloat.

If you are looking to attempt the Wordle puzzle of the day, it is best to prepare yourself beforehand before using your five guesses. Depending on the word, it is always helpful to have a list of all the words in a certain configuration to give you an idea of what you should guess next. Once you have an understanding of what letters are involved, you will have a better shot at beating the puzzle. In this helpful guide, we will go through all 5-letter words with N in the middle so you have a better idea of where to go next after your preliminary guess.

The following list of words has been tested in Wordle and works as guesses. However, if there are any missing or incorrect words, please let us know in the comments below so we can investigate and update if necessary.

For a game like Wordle, the sooner you can discern the letters that make up the word of the day, the more likely you will be able to figure out the right answer in fewer attempts, especially if we are talking about words that are very specific. In this guide, we go through all of the 5-letter words starting with MA to give you a good idea of where to start, and keep that streak of yours going strong.

Note that the following list of words has been tested and will work in Wordle. However, if you spot any missing or incorrect words, please inform us via the comments below so we can take a look at the list and update it if necessary.
