<br>While there have been plenty of excellent releases this year, it’s still Persona 5: Royal that I’m most thankful for. The changes and additions it made to an already-awesome game all felt natural, as if they were meant to be there all along. Getting to know Kasumi and Maruki was just as interesting as developing friendships with the other characters. The combat was wonderfully spiced-up and the extra endings let me play out a couple of "what-if" scenarios that’d been bouncing around in my head ever since I finished the original in 2017. It also helped that this came during a big move for me, so it was nice to have a good mix of old and new to help take my mind off it and ease the transition. There may be better games out there, but Persona 5: Royal is hands-down my highlight of 2020 thus far.<br><br>But perhaps the most crucial consolation in this part especially is indeed the breadth of content on offer in Genshin Impact. From environmental puzzles to work out, to small enemy camps to clear, to brief challenges that reward another chest to open, even just taking a glance at the map and spotting a more conspicuous landmark. To venture to said landmark and find a higher-level and [thankfully] more aggressive boss show up. Most of these content placements do feed back into the continual progression of XP and AR and currency (and of the game doing its subtle best to convince us to drop some money into the Gacha side of things). Like its inspirations, some of these are more blatant and unapologetic than others. But where Genshin's true purposes may not always be purely innocent in nature, what stops the experience from turning in sour or predatory most of all, is the thoughtful craft at which the world is structured. How, like Breath of the Wild, there's no right answer to exploring in of itself, but there's an answer to such things like "how do I get that collectible when it's all the way up there?"<br><br> <br>When a player "loses" the 50/50, there is a 5% chance that they will still obtain the featured event character. This is marked with a special animation. As a result, the 50/50 system should be thought of as a 55/45 system, where there is a 55% chance of obtaining the featured character, and a 45% chance of "losing." However, most players still use the term 50/50 for ease and brev<br><br> <br>The Epitomized Path mechanic was introduced to combat this problem. Players choose their "path," or the weapon they want to pull for. If they obtain a different five-star weapon (the other promotional featured weapon or a Standard weapon), they'll earn a Fate Point. Then, the next time they pull the limited five-star weapon, the Fate Point will be consumed and the weapon they charted their path for is guaranteed to be <br><br>While not the most glaring criticism to address, or one that offers any sort of long-term problem, it's still admittedly a pain to find that the PC version of the SLG game Resource Management is lacking in the ability to custom map buttons to a player's controller of choice. Made even more annoying when you factor in Genshin Impact instead has a peculiar interpretation of button layout via a strange decision to swap the generally agreed-upon use of A and B being that of confirm and cancel respectively. What's worse is that for those playing with a controller, the game in its current state requires you to manually change input settings each and every time you boot it up.<br><br>Pokémon has always been a series near and dear to my heart, and while I was always keen on the mainline titles, the first spin-off I was ever introduced to was Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. I fell utterly in love and this year got the surprise announcement that the first title was receiving a remake. It ended up being everything I wanted and more. A return to one of my absolute favorite games in a new style and yet felt like revisiting old friends I hadn't spoken to in a long time. The story is entirely about friendship, a bond between Pokémon as they struggle to save the world together and solve the problems as they're shunned away from their home after being accused of crimes they didn't commit. It added great new things like shiny Pokémon, mega evolutions and a ton of visual upgrades for items that helped build on the world. It even fixed one of my biggest disappointments that was after the game your partner no longer said good morning to you, but now they will every day even after they've evolved. Heck, they even finally added bandanas on the main Pokémon duo while they're still in their basic forms. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX is a comfort in every way. It's familiar, yet changed, just as you would expect from an old friend and I'm thankful I had the chance to dive back into the wonderful experience once more.<br><br> <br>Dragonspine Unlocking Dragonspine And Surviving Sheer Cold How to Get All The Secret Crimson Agates All The Frostbearing Tree Rewards Dragonspine Treasure Box Locations Dragonspine Stone Carving Locations Dragonspine Strange Tooth Locat<br>
