Kickstarting things are two game trials for PlayStation Plus Premium: “WWE 2K25” and “Monster Hunter Wilds”. The first one is ready for play now, while the second will become accessible on June 30th. If you’ve been curious about these games (and their praise as well as criticisms), this is an excellent chance to dive in.

In contrast to other Soulslike games by FromSoftware, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice stands out with its unique character. Although some may point to the absence of RPG elements and the protagonist-centric focus as key differences between it and other FromSoft titles, the most noticeable change lies in its combat system. Unlike Elden Ring, which employs a more measured and deliberate approach to combat, Sekiro offers rapid, parry-intensive combat with a posture system. Essentially, the fast-paced action in Sekiro feels like it was drawn from a samurai film.

Frankly, it’s no secret that we’ve been eagerly awaiting news about The Elder Scrolls 6 ever since the initial teaser in 2018. Bethesda’s silence has only heightened our anticipation. Could this be the moment when they unveil the official reveal of The Elder Scrolls 6? Or are we merely looking forward to a Starfield expansion instead?

One delightful feature of the spin-off game Nightreign is its strong link with the original Elden Ring title. You’ll encounter numerous characters, enemies, and even storylines that echo the main game. Yet, Nightreign doesn’t merely borrow elements from Elden Ring; it skillfully weaves them in a unique way to create its own distinct identity.

Despite facing some challenges on PC, particularly in Steam reviews due to performance issues, Capcom continues to develop updates for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. This week, Capcom will host a Capcom Spotlight stream featuring Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, Resident Evil Re:Verse, Project Pragmata, and Street Fighter 6. During this stream, we can expect to learn more about the next title update for Iceborne. However, ahead of the official announcement, Sony has revealed some new details on the PlayStation Store.

Based on the recent information leak, the upcoming update is set to introduce two new creatures: Lagiacrus and an arch-tempered monster, specifically known as Arch-Tempered Uth Duna.

Regarding the quality, FromSoftware’s collection of Soulslike games has consistently raised the bar exceptionally high when it comes to downloadable content (DLC). Notably, the DLCs for Dark Souls like Artorias of the Abyss, Crown DLCs in Dark Souls 2, and Ashes of Ariandel and Ringed City in Dark Souls 3, as well as Bloodborne’s Old Hunters, have been some of FromSoftware’s finest work. Similarly, the quality of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree can be compared to this high standard, and Lies of P: Overture matches up impressively in terms of its challenging nature.

In Soulsborne games, each character class I’ve used feels potent and versatile at all stages. Yet, I can’t say the same for the Mage classes because they don’t scratch my itch for direct combat against monsters. Frankly, they seem far too brittle and dull to engage with in every Soulsborne game. However, my perspective on Mages has significantly shifted after playing Recluse in Elden Ring: Nightreign – the Mage class is now more appealing due to its unique abilities and tactical depth.

In simpler terms, a fan of Elden Ring posted a video showcasing their strategy of using stones to attract a Death Rite Bird near a colossal dragon known as the Gaping Dragon. It’s common knowledge that dragons and birds have longstanding enmity. Upon approaching, the Death Rite Bird is met with the Gaping Dragon’s noxious bile, which swiftly depletes its health bar.

1. After demolishing the first one, we followed it up with the second. We made our entrance via the main gate, encountered a desert I recognized – and lo and behold, Adel made his appearance by performing an elbow drop from the top rope onto me! Later, he conjured a whirlwind.

2. The first one bit the dust, and the second went down next. We pushed our way in through the main gate, saw a desert that looked familiar – and who should appear but Adel? He introduced himself by executing an elbow drop from the top rope on me! Afterwards, he conjured up a tornado.

3. The first one was destroyed, and then we took down the second. We entered through the main gate, found myself in a desert I knew – and there was Adel, greeting me with an elbow drop from the top rope! Subsequently, he produced a twister.

4. The first one fell, and the second followed suit. We entered via the main gate, came across a desert I remembered – and who do you know but Adel? He greeted me by dropping an elbow on me from the top rope, and then summoned a tornado!

5. After taking down the initial one, we moved on to the second. We made our entrance at the main gate, found myself in a desert that felt familiar – only for Adel to show up and drop an elbow on me from the top rope as a greeting! Then he summoned a tornado.

6. The first went down, and we followed with the second. We entered through the main gate, came across a desert that took me back – and who should I meet but Adel? He greeted me by performing an elbow drop from the top rope onto me, and then raised a tornado.
