Thank me later.

HTML5 is a markup language that’s gotten people excited. Very excited. The list of games and experiments and designs people have made within the framework is massive and crazy and worth a google all its own. Here, I did it for you.

But the highlight for the geeky-gamers amongst us is how it’s been used to port some classic PC games to browser. RTS forebear Dune, Transport Tycoon Deluxe received the treatment.

Now you can play the best tactical strategy / base management / alien blasting game of all time, UFO: Enemy Unknown, in browser thanks to HTML5 and some dedicated coders.

In case you’re an alien, or have no soul, XCOM is a legendary  triumph of quality. Forget the incredible tactics-based gameplay, or massive amount of upgrades, and instead realize this is arguably one of the spookiest, high-stakes games of all times. With customizable bases, loadouts, spooky noises, and terrifying alien designs, you truly feel like the weight of the world, and the fate of humanity is on your shoulders.

Play it in the dark, on your laptop, on your back porch – tonight, and see how long it takes to get goosebumps

Up until recently it was thought we’d never get another XCOM game as good as this one, but the 2012 XCOM: Enemy Unknown was a welcome return to form for the franchise. Still, the version emulated in browser is a special one and a bonafide PC classic everyone should play if given the chance. And you now have the chance. Play, love it, never look at the skies the same way again.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
