Geralt of Rivia and co.'s third outing has been critically acclaimed thanks to its rich dark-fantasy world, excellent story and character writing, role-playing mechanics, and its wealth of substantive side content -- including the Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine DLC expansions. The upcoming remaster is surely anticipated, but the current version runs and plays impressively well on Steam D

One of Elden Ring 's best summons, Latenna the Albinauric is most notable for the long range she has with her magical bows. It makes her incredibly effective in combat, and that's no doubt why Nota7andomguy summoned her in the first place. But in this case, she rendered the player completely unnecess

The good news is these nuisances aren’t lethal, but the inability to hit them before they have little by little chipped away HP makes the player want to seek escape from their constant assault by leaving the area the pest resides. Blocking then countering their onslaught can be effective, though staying still for these moments can breed new trou

For one, her Cleanrot Knights were unshakably loyal to her, especially since this required them to contract the Rot themselves after spending so much time around her. Likewise, she indirectly inspired those who would become known as the Kindred of Rot, believing Malenia to be a goddess that would usher in a new age of

Choosing the second option gives the player Baldachin's Blessing, which increases poise. But the exact phrasing of the choice, and the way in which the embrace happens, is what makes it hilarious, especially considering how serious in tone the game is. Because of that, this moment pushes over into almost absurd

Taking on the role of the Dragonborn to stop Alduin from ushering in a draconic rapture is perhaps even more addicting on Steam Deck. Its deep mod support and free-flowing character progression system will make tackling the land's plethora of content and creating unique builds easier to pick up and play -- even if it's another run at being a stealthy arc

If the Crucible is the primal energy of the Erdtree and where all life once blended together, then it has to contain an incredibly large amount of power. This connection also shows the Erdtree's parasitic nature because it needs to feed off of the energy of the Crucible, unable to survive without an external source of energy. Since the Crucible is where life blends together, it can be assumed that the second source of energy for the Erdtree is the souls of the dead who will tell the Tarnished that they are waiting to return to the Erdtree. The reach of the Erdtree's roots allow it to gather those souls easily, and allows it to spread the Greater Will's Grace through the Lands Between . Regardless of how the energy is used, it's gathered through parasitic me

Everyone's bound to have their favored playthrough, but considering the overall loadout on display, the duo were never going to be a match to Fancy. But discontent over the quality of this boss battle is understandable, though, since the fight is necessary to advance the game but at the same time does not provide engaging combat or particularly enjoyable challenge to players. The childish tone of the response is funny because it's understanda

For whatever reason, the early aughts animated film Shrek has become a big meme, and putting the green ogre in strange new situations is a running joke across the internet these days. Elden Ring wasn't immune to this phenomenon and this mod puts the ogre over the enemy Fire Prel

While some felt its transition wasn't ambitious enough, the game was widely praised for its sprawling and classical fantasy story, colorful cast of characters, and traditional turn-based combat mechanics. It's arguably the best mainline Dragon Quest for beginn

Despite their tragic origins, Miquella and Malenia fought hard to protect each other. Her brother was dedicated to finding a cure for Bloodborne revival Malenia's Scarlet Rot, and even denounced his Empyrean title and obligations when he learned that the Golden Order had no remedy to offer his sis

For instance, this mod turns the player into a giant lobster by replacing the Godrick armor set with a giant crayfish. It's great to watch this massive creature flop around the world of Elden Ring and its black beady eyes add to the com

Andrej Sapkowski's The Witcher IP has become a dark-fantasy juggernaut in its own right in part due to CD Projekt Red's exceptional games. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has especially propelled the franchise's image, and the game still stands as one of the greatest fantasy RPGs ev

Given their popularly turn-based gameplay, the JRPG subgenre also lends itself well to the handheld and pick-up-and-play incentive behind the Steam Deck. That makes 2020's PC re-release of Persona 4 Golden a solid pick, with its extensive runtime particularly friendlier thanks to the Deck's form fac

Bred for combat, Warhawks fly high above the battlefield with their feet of blades threatening to strike at those below. They become easier to deal with as the game goes on but are frequently encountered before abilities that work well against them are unloc
