Bioware is hard at work putting on the finishing touches to (a more than likely) day one patch for Mass Effect: Andromeda. After all the next entry into the RPG, space opera franchise launches in exactly one week. They’re also busy putting together and uploading a gameplay series they started a little while ago. The set of videos focuses on introducing players to the world of Mass Effect: Andromeda by showcasing powers, abilities, and exploration so far. This week’s addition focuses on the title’s multiplayer component.

Not surprisingly, the online game modes will be cooperative with up to four players. Kind of similar to the third’s multiplayer in gameplay and scope. Players will join together to take on waves of enemies, complete objectives, and extract from five different maps at launch. Sandstorm (which is the focus of the video below) is a vacant Milky Way outpost covered with what you’d expect. Sand. It’s sand in case you didn’t get it. Here’s hoping that some easter egg will appear revealing what exactly happened to our home galaxy after the Reapers’ all out assault. Firebase Zero will be built into an actual asteroid, Firebase Icebreaker takes place in a desolate fueling station, Firebase Magma will featuring a cooling river of live lava, and last but not least, Derelict is nothing more than an abandoned ship.

The multiplayer will have twenty five characters to choose from and all of them will have unique skill sets and abilities. However, there’s some good news this time around. There will be no character restrictions and every race can utilize all the different weapons and abilities, just like the singleplayer. Thankfully, there will be no competitive aspects regarding medals and XP. Gamers will earn rewards based on what they’ve done and not how they did compared to their squad mates. Lastly, there will be a multiplayer mini-game that acts like Dragon Age: Inquisition’s War Room. You’ll be able to deploy units and soldiers to complete tasks that net you items for use in the story. You can view the gameplay video yourself below.

Mass Effect: Andromeda will release for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on March 21st. Let us know if you’ve already pre-ordered the forth entry in the series. Better yet, let’s discuss the third game’s ending. Or is that too soon? Either way hit us up in the comments below!

Lover of all things video games and PlayStation and my many platinum trophies can attest to that fact. My life was literally saved by gaming and I do everything to pay back that debt every day.

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.
