More than a decade ago, Assassin’s Creed 3 came out, serving as the follow-up to a trio of well-received games featuring fan favorite character Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Set during the American Revolution and featuring a more stoic protagonist, far removed from the previous games’ roguish Ezio, AC3 garnered a reputation among many players for being a series misstep. Approached with fresh eyes and many years of hindsight, though, it’s easier to see that Assassin’s Creed 3 is perhaps the strongest AC to date thanks to its unique world design and strong story. Now, anyone looking for a cheaper alternative to the more recent Assassin’s Creed Shadows is in luck as AC3 is currently available at a steep discount.
Assassin’s Creed 3 takes the series’ stealth game design out of the European cities of the AC2 trilogy and into the forests, waters, and less densely constructed settlements of North America. Because of this choice, players spend as much time clambering between tree limbs as they do scaling towers, and, in one of the smartest expansions to the AC formula, take part in naval battles.
Aside from the change in setting, Assassin’s Creed 3 stands out for an engaging exploration of its time period, which follows the birth of the United States from the perspective of a protagonist whose parents are Mohawk and British and whose personal journey across the game reflects the chaos of the era. The ‘present day’ plot line is as drab as most of the series and the game is still plagued by the repetition and bloat of many Assassin’s Creed entries, but, for those willing to overlook its flaws, there’s plenty to appreciate.
Assassin’s Creed 3 Remastered is currently available with a 75% discount, bringing its price down to $9.99 USD / £8.49. Grab a copy on Steam right here.

Anime Rangers X is the hottest new Roblox tower defense game, and as usual, it’s more fun to talk about the Units than it is to actually play the game. Jokes aside, knowing which units to bring is extremely important, which is exactly why we made this Ultimate Anime Rangers X Unit Tier List.
Anime Rangers X Best Units Tier List
Image by TierMaker / Remix by The Escapist
We considered each unit for this tier list based on its cost, damage, and added ability. Most importantly, we asked ourselves which units we use more than others. We didn’t include every single unit in the game, so if you don’t see the one you like, it’s probably because we didn’t think they were worth adding. You’ll want to switch out every unit below Epic as soon as you can and focus on these best DPS, starter, and Ranged DPS units.
SS-Tier
Unit Name
Info
Limitless Sorcerer (Infinite)
Does amazing damage, can dodge attacks, and has overall great stats. A must-have!
King of Shadows (Monarch)
Its most impressive feat is its extremely quick basic attack, and that’s not even counting its abilities. The ultimate boss destroyer.
Molten Phantom
Amazing for crowd control, great stats, covers a wide area.
Solar Fist
The best DPSes in the game. If you make up for its shortcomings, this unit can carry you through everything in the game.
S-Tier
Unit Name
Info
Eclipse Sorcerer
Put him in the back and watch him snipe units from afar. Pretty handy to have.
Fire Fist
Many consider Fire Fist a meta unit. Pretty good damage and can soak up a good amount.
Legendary Saiyan (Super)
An absolute damage sponge. If you place five of these, you’ll create a wall between you and the enemies.
A-Tier
Unit Name
Info
Limitless Sorcerer (Basic)
Somewhat pricey, but very decent damage. Not as good as the Limitless version.
King Curses
Decent damage, decent stats, good ability, and only costs 800. Really great to have.
Shadow Knight
Does okay damage, but it’s a great unit at the very start of the battle due to how cheap it is to summon.
King of Shadows (Basic)
Almost the same as the Monarch version, but not as powerful. Still, a very decent unit.
B-Tier
C-Tier
Unit Name
Info
King Ant
We haven’t heard anyone say a single nice thing about this unit.
Knight King (Basic)
A very meh unit with meh stats and meh damage.
Cursed Fist
Everyone who used this unit says it’s awful, and we agree.
Green Tornado
Replace as soon as you can.
That’s all there is to it. We’ll update the tier list as the game gets new content and units. In the meantime, check out our Anime Rangers X codes for some cool in-game freebies.

If you’ve spent any amount of time on the internet as of late, you’ll have seen the big game on everyone’s mind: Marathon. It’s Bungie‘s next big release, and last week, the whole world was able to sit down and gorge themselves on new gameplay footage. The game looks pretty darn good, if I say so myself. It looks as though we might be getting a new avenue for that Bungie quality that has kept fans loyal all these years. But, some are skeptical. There’s good reason why, but after weighing up both sides, I’m still moving forward with optimism when it comes to Marathon.
I was shocked to find myself excited at the gameplay trailer. I have struggled more with extraction shooters than I’d care to admit. I came too late to Escape from Tarkov, only dipping my toes in when cheating issues were at their problematic height, and what time un-murdered I did spend in the game felt largely unappealing. The Forever Winter nearly won me over, with its doomed future of a world in the midst of permanent robot holocaust, but once the aesthetics wore off I grew tired of scavenging for scraps. This happened over and over, and each time I just could feel the same hooks others had in me. It seemed to me that it wasn’t meant to be.
To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
Yet, for some reason, Marathon has caught my interest. I am not a diehard Destiny fan. I played a bit of the game for work, and have enjoyed the odd exotic quest here and there, but I’ve never dropped more than a month or so into the game at a time, with yearly chasms between my sessions. I have always admired the work Bungie has done from afar, though, and I think maybe it’s some of that Bungie magic that could make all the difference. I should clarify straight away, I’m not referring to the magic that execs seem to believe their staff can use to put out a growing game while slashing budgets. I refer – of course – to the talent of their artists, combat designers, and countless others.
What we saw from recent Marathon gameplay is exactly what I expected from Bungie. A game that’s visually stunning, and not just in a “look at all that raytracing” kind of stunning. I mean like a real distinct art direction. There’s no game really out there at the moment that gives off the same vibe, certainly not one with Bungie’s budget. When hopping into a new genre and taking on the big hitters that’ve already fostered a community, you can’t just push out something that’ll blend into the crowd.
I mean look at this. You can’t say it’s not unique, and intriguing to look at. | Image credit: Bungie
The weapons, environments, and the characters themselves all scream out “hey look, I’m something new”. It all blends together an obvious futuristic aesthetic with hints of retro tech here and there. It’s set in what looks to be this far-future space dystopia, sure. But it contrasts that with a vibrancy that pops out and drowns out the sort of dreary misery you’d see from other developers looking to make a game in a similar setting.
The artists at Bungie have, through the Destiny series, proven that when given freedom to push the boundaries in a new setting that they can really release some extraordinary work. From the small glimpse we have, I’m getting that same wanderlust I felt back when I saw The Hive for the first time.
Then there’s the action we see. Tight, fast, co-operative first person shooting that makes good use of the setting with interesting abilities and quirky takes on modern weaponry. The gameplay trailer is sure to emphasize that Bungie is bringing its “best-in-class first person multiplayer action to the forefront”, and yeah while that stuck me as a little self-congratulatory for my British sensibilities this pat on the back isn’t exactly undeserved. Destiny has had absolutely killer PvP for years upon years. Many players don’t care for the raids and narrative Destiny is better known for (instead sticking to the Crucible), and it’s hard to argue they’re in the wrong for doing so.
This will only help Marathon. The extraction shooters we have right now are predominantly military sims, or at least somewhat grounded in realistic gunplay. What Bungie has is decades of sci-fi FPS experience that it can use to make sure Marathon doesn’t just look like something fresh, but that it feels like something fresh too. That, I feel, will be the bigger reason folks will stick around rather than hop back into more senior titles in the genre.
//
Bungie also has ample three player team experience too, which can only help with Marathon. | Image credit: Bungie
I think the game looks totally solid, I think Bungie has earned some trust when it comes to creating a FPS that feels good to play, especially in a futuristic setting. What I do concede may be the game’s biggest barrier is its price point. Look, it’s no secret that live service games have a hard time gaining a significant following. That’s been the case for years, as evidenced by an ever-growing graveyard of admirable attempts that have come out and wasted away.
It’s likely worse now than it’s ever been, with a potential recession coming on, consoles and PC parts potentially getting more expensive, and everyone pinching pennies. It’s not an easy thing to sell people on a multiplayer only game with no offline single player content whatsoever. Titanfall struggled to do it, and that was a game so good it should have defined a generation.
Here’s my counter argument. Bungie, through Destiny 2, certainly has had practice rolling out an engaging narrative through limited-time major updates. While many out there will jump into a major expansion, play the new raid and dip out, those who stick around know that the team can keep interesting threads going. These aren’t just for story nerds too, interesting new game modes come hot and ready from Bungie’s oven all the time. This, in spite of multiple waves of layoffs and a reduction in Destiny 2’s scope.
If there’s any FPS company out there who I believe has a good shot at actually making a live service extraction shooter with compelling enough updates to warrant a buy-in, it’s Bungie. Now, this is something the Marathon team will have to prove to people, and continue proving for months. I surely hope they’ve got staff working hard on post-launch plans as we speak. If they can walk the walk, with Marathon looking how it’s looking, I’ve got to say I’m officially excited for Marathon. Past experiences aside.

Guest characters are increasingly common in gaming, but we wouldn’t in a million years have guessed the nature of Diablo 4’s upcoming crossover. Blizzard has announced its dungeon crawler is teaming up with Berserk, the long-running fantasy manga that inspired the Dark Souls series.
As unlikely as this crossover might seem, it could be just what Diablo 4 needs. Blizzard has already confirmed that this action RPG’snext expansion won’t arrive until 2026, so we welcome anything that helps things fresh.
Blizzard’s Diablo 4 2025 roadmap did tease a tie-in with a well-known IP, but our money was on Doom: The Dark Ages, not least because Microsoft owns both properties. But the more we think about this crossover, the more it makes sense.
Like Diablo 4, Berserk doesn’t shy away from blood and guts. Its central character is, in fact, called Guts, which gives you an idea of what to expect. Known for its gore, this dark fantasy manga follows the violent exploits of a mercenary who battles humans, monsters and demons. And while Guts’ initial instinct is to simply survive, he wouldn’t think twice about ramming Diablo’s Soulstone into his forehead. The manga is currently ongoing and it’s been adapted into an anime several times.
Blizzard has released an animated teaser, which you can watch above, but it has yet to reveal the exact nature of this crossover. That’s not Guts in the teaser, so it’s unlikely he’ll figure heavily into things. But we’d expect there to be cosmetics, the odd event or two and maybe some ridiculously oversized swords.
In the meantime, if you’re battling your way through Diablo 4 and need a little help, we’ve got you covered. To give you a head start, we’ve rounded up the best Diablo 4 builds and the best Diablo 4 classes.

Between Civilization 7, Kaiserpunk, Stellaris, and Commandos Origins itself, I’m still torn between which type of strategy game I like most. 4X is the biggest and bulkiest, but the longer a playthrough goes on, the more you can get lost in the micromanagement. City builders are more focused, and I’m a sucker for good road-building tools, but, by their nature, these games are limited to one type of strategy. So maybe it’s the RTS – challenging but accessible, tactical but faster-paced, the return of Commandos also marks a comeback for one of the genre’s best. Origins may have struggled a little so far, but if you’ve stayed away, the big new update could be enough to win you over.
Tough, intense, and an occasional test of your patience, our own Commandos Origins review explains precisely where the new RTS game shines and where it could use some improvement. Behind Enemy Lines, Commandos 2, and Destination Berlin are all legitimate PC classics – Commandos Origins naturally has a lot of expectation on its shoulders. But alongside our 7/10 rating, the response from players has so far been solid, and the WW2 game has a reputable ‘mostly positive’ rating on Steam.
However, a few key performance issues and problems with crashing have held Origins back. Released on April 9, if you’ve been cautious about playing the strategy game up until now, the new update could assuage your concerns. There are 29 general fixes, alongside 18 fixes that target issues specific to Commandos Origins’ campaign missions. Until now, some of the game’s foliage was inexplicably causing sharp drops in performance and there were cases where the framerate could slow to a crawl.
Those have both been remedied, alongside other “rare” crashes, and a significant problem where using the Marine’s abilities could also send you back to the desktop. The user interface has been tweaked and improved, and there is no longer a problem with broken achievements. It’s a big fix and it arrives just over a week since launch – hopefully, any other issues with Commandos Origins will also be promptly addressed. If you want to give the game a shot, you can get it here.

The Nintendo Switch 2’s dedicated Direct has come and gone. Games were revealed, a release date was set, and there was no pricing information (though this hit the internet, and everything is quite expensive). But how do the games PLAY? Thankfully, yours truly was part of a select few who got to play the Switch 2 at a special New York event. I tried out a good mix of first-party titles and came away impressed by most of what I experienced.
Mario Kart World
Of the titles I played, Mario Kart World was the one I spent the most time with. For the first section, I played two two-player exhibition races on the television screen and two single-player matches on the handheld, meaning I got a feel for the Switch 2 Pro Controller and the Joy-Con 2. Playing on the television racing against an attendee next to me and the various CPUs was thrilling. Every track was new to the series. There were various character options, including the amazing Moo Moo cow. Many outfits were selectable, too.
The Switch 2 Pro Controller was a joy to hold and control. It and the Joy-Con 2 felt more comfortable for people with big hands, which was great for me. Races start a little differently now: instead of waiting at the starting line, you drift into the race with everyone else, though Lakitu still shows up to count you down and you can still boost if you hold the gas at the right time. Lunch bags are a new pickup you can grab; doing so will cause your character to eat a snack and change their outfit during a race. I noticed some new powerups: a Gold Shell that launches forward and drops many Gold Coins (these boost your speed) and a wand-like item that calls in the sorcerer Kamek to do some damage.
The best part of Mario Kart World was Knockout Tour. 24 racers, back-to-back courses flowing together seamlessly, and if you don’t place high enough by the time you reach each of the five checkpoints, you’re eliminated. It’s the most frantic I’ve ever seen Mario Kart; people were downright bloodthirsty. The race allowed you to go anywhere, meaning falling off a track or going off the beaten path wouldn’t necessarily spell your doom. Getting to each checkpoint felt exhilarating. I placed fifth overall!
Donkey Kong Bananza
We haven’t had a new 3D Donkey Kong title since Donkey Kong 64 so Donkey Kong Bananza is a pleasant surprise. It’s reminiscent of Super Mario Odyssey, except you’re collecting and eating Gold Bananas instead of nabbing Power Moons. Donkey Kong is a simian with one philosophy: punch everything in his path. He can punch forward, punch downward, and even slam the ground from the air. The amount of destruction he can wreak is unparalleled; you’ll be leaving craters in the ground and smashing through terrain. Donkey Kong can even grab a rock slab and ride it like a surfboard. He can also pick up explosive purple crystals and lob them at enemies or rock formations. Donkey felt great to control, especially while climbing the scenery (no Stamina Wheel, thank goodness). My only gripe was that the A button was jump and the B button was ground pound. It was hard to get to grips with but you can remap the buttons.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
As a big fan of the Metroid series, I had to make a beeline to the Metroid Prime 4: Beyond play area. The game did not disappoint. It’s gorgeous, running at a full 60 FPS in 4K Quality Mode and an astounding 120 FPS in 1080p Performance Mode. If you’re a Metroid Prime expert, everything will click into place: you have a dedicated button for Morph Ball mode, a button to switch to the Scan Visor, a jump button, a missile button, and a button for shooting and charging your beam. Prime 4 looks to follow Prime 3 in the way it presents its plot: there are other characters you can interact with and a bevy of cutscenes. It’s a different feel from the original Metroid Prime, which evoked a feeling of isolation, so whether you like this approach or not depends on your preference. The best part of the gameplay was realizing you can switch from standard controls to gyro aiming by just flicking your wrist and aiming at the screen, no menu changes required. It certainly helped with the demo’s boss fight, which required shooting different points on its body.
Drag x Drive
Nintendo wanted to show off its mouse functionality with the Switch 2, so it’s no shock to see a game run hog wild with that gimmick. Drag x Drive is that game. There was an extensive tutorial for this title, and for good reason. It takes time to get acclimated to the controls, especially turning left and right, since you use the opposite Joy-Con 2 to turn in that direction. You can’t expect to go fast in short bursts, either, as you need to do long strides with the controller to build up speed. Once you get used to the layout, it’s fairly intuitive. The 3 v 3 match I was thrown into after the tutorial seemed to last for less than five minutes, but it was fun to pass the ball and use the Joy-Con 2 to angle shots at the basket. It was entertaining, but I had a huge flat surface to glide my Joy-Con 2 across. I wonder if the game will feel as good in tighter spaces or on different surfaces.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World
This is the only enhanced Switch 2 Edition game I played, but it’s great. The demo throws you right into the Star-Crossed World expansion, and the game runs at a smooth 60 FPS now, improving the gameplay, especially with setting up your dodge rolls. The new spring powerup feels great, bringing to mind Rattly the Rattlesnake from Donkey Kong Country 2 (though using the timing from that title will cause you to miss your jumps and plummet to your death). For all you completionists out there, this add-on has you covered, with many hidden paths and collectibles to uncover. No word yet on how long this expansion will be, but hopefully it’s hefty.
Gameplay-wise, I was impressed with the Nintendo Switch 2. All the peripherals felt solid, and many of Nintendo’s first-party games are stellar. However, the price of the console, accessories, and games is frankly unaffordable, so I believe the Switch 2 will not reach the heights of its predecessor. Hopefully, prices will go down in the future.

BloxBase, a professionally made Roblox wiki site, is launching this month, aiming to become the go-to destination for all things Roblox! Unlike most wiki sites, BloxBase features entries made by a dedicated Roblox content team. The writers and editors are active players with firsthand, in-depth experience of the games they’re covering. The team also consists exclusively of well-versed content creators, guaranteeing accurate information, as well as easy to understand, quality writing.
Not Your Ordinary Wiki
The primary idea behind BloxBase is one of a reliable source for Roblox games. All of the info in each wiki is triple-checked, and everything that enters a BloxBase page must first go through the editorial team. This approach addresses the most pressing issues related to other wikis most commonly found online. It’s a wiki HUB made by highly active Roblox players for active Roblox players and you can find it here along with our most recent projects:
Focus on Accuracy and Up-To-Date Information
Wiki sites usually serve as public platforms where community members can create and edit posts, which can be a double-edged sword. While open public access may serve as a form of peer-review, it also leaves specific entries unprotected from trolls. The casual nature of such wikis makes them more prone to being abandoned or not updated regularly. BloxBase consists of active Roblox players that are always seeking to proof-check information and update it regularly.
For Roblox Players By Roblox Players
Although not everyone can create new entries or edit old ones on BloxBase, the platform is fully dedicated to both Roblox developers and players. For developers, BloxBase offers an in-dept resource for their games, releasing game creators from the burden of developing websites and their own wikis.
When it comes to players, the comment section is a noteworthy feature of BloxBase. Through it, members of the community can exchange ideas, tips, and information through their unique gameplay experience. The result is an ever-growing knowledge base that strictly controls the quality of posts while allowing individual voices to be heard and valued!
Easy Access for a Personalized Experience
BloxBase is developed with reader interaction in mind. To make the experience tailored to the reader’s interests, the platforms allows for easy signups via the Google email address. Users can also link their Roblox accounts to the wiki for smoother cross-site connectivity.
Creating an account on BloxBase lets you participate in the comment discussions. Plus, once logged in, you can get to the pages for your favorite games directly.
The Future of Roblox Wikis
BloxBase is intended for all members of the Roblox community, be them developers, casual, or hardcore gamers. With fact-checked and proofread entries, the wiki site has a genuine chance of becoming the world’s leading repository of reliable information on Roblox games.
Should BloxBase take off as intended, it will gather a community of Roblox fans who know what they’re talking about and who may, as a collective, become a leading influence in the wider world of Roblox gaming.
If you consider yourself a part of the Roblox community, feel free to visit BloxBase and become an early member of the Roblox wiki of the future!

2025 is, to my delight, the year of Oblivion. Not only is the long-rumored Oblivion remaster seemingly just days away, but the equally impressive Skyblivion mod – which brings all of Cyrodiil into Skyrim – is out this year as well. With two versions of Bethesda’s 2006 classic at our fingertips, it’s natural to assume that they might come into competition with each other. Skyblivion’s project lead doesn’t feel that way, though, making it clear that an imminent official remaster “changes nothing” for them.
Rumors of an official The Elder Scrolls Oblivion remaster have reached a fever pitch recently. After weeks of insiders claiming it’s real, several screenshots and promotional images of the project have leaked from the website of developer Virtuos, suggesting it’s been working with Bethesda for some time. There’s still no launch date for Oblivion Remastered, but reputable sources say it will be very soon.
Where does Bethesda’s official remaster leave Skyblivion, then? According to an update from the modding team back in January, we should be playing its own take on Cyrodiil sometime this year. There’s still work to be done and the team needs help, but the finish line is close.
Now, with the Virtuos leak of Oblivion Remastered, Skyblivion’s project lead ‘Rebelzize’ is weighing in on how the two versions can co-exist. After initially replying “uh-oh” to news of the game, they clarified their position:
“To be clear this changes nothing for me. This always was a passion project and still is until the end. For the community it’s a win-win as you get twice the amount of Oblivion this year. All love and no hate towards the people who made the official remaster.”
With so much Oblivion on the way, we’re about to be spoilt for choice. Bethesda and Virtuos’ version is likely coming out in April, and the Skyblivion modding team still has plans for launch sometime in 2025.
If you just can’t wait to dive into any new version of Oblivion, we’ve got all the best games like Skyrim you can check out today. Otherwise, dive into the best open-world games out now.
You can follow us on Google News for daily PC games news, reviews, and guides. We’ve also got a vibrant community Discord server, where you can chat about this story with members of the team and fellow readers.
The main point of this new patch is to fix some of the known issues and bugs introduced with TU1, and solve a couple of other issues that have been lingering there for a while.
To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
The new Monster Hunter Wilds patch fixes the slightly hilarious bug that caused the game to crash when you spoke to Nata and specifically requested trading with Sekka. When the bug was first identified, Capcom asked players to just fire up the BBQ and wait before trying again. That is, thankfully, no longer necessary.
With many Wilds players now firmly in the endgame, a lot of the focus has now shifted to the newly-introduced Arena Quests. As more of those quests are played, however, an unusual bug kept popping up. The bug caused the Powercharm and Armorcharm to be added to your pouch whenever you decided to bring them to the quest, but that has now been fixed.
On the topic of Arena Quests, some require you to use specific weapons the game chooses for certain fights, but crafty players managed to break that and bring their own weapons – well, no more.
Switching over to the slightly bizarre and unusual bugs, certain cutscenes – in some cases – go rogue and decide not to respect the voice pitch settings you’ve chosen for your Hunter and Palico. So, if you’ve not been skipping cutscenes, and noticed that your pals sound different, this is why – though you thankfully won’t have to worry about that anymore.
Yes, sometimes your Palico sounds different. | Image credit: Capcom
That one might only break your immersion, but one other cutscene bug actually caused a progression block involved your Palico refusing to get on the Seikret to progress the story, which has now been fixed, too.
Patch 1.010.01.00 also brings a few other crash fixes caused by your choice of weapon and gear, alongside a fix to an issue that prevented players from being able to redo the Mizutsune assignment.
As with any new patch, however, there remains a list of known issues, which Capcom has outlined in this blog post. You should check that page if you run into any issues after installing the patch. Until then, our Monster Hunter Wilds guide remains your faithful companion.
