Surprise, it’s a reputation reward Since the beginning of time (well,World of Warcraft‘s time), reputation rewards have been a constant. “Rep grinding” is a phrase that I’ve heard hundreds of times throughout my life, especially from collectors. And it’s something that’s very much alive and well inWoW Dragonflight: especially if you’ve had your eye on the Black Scales Highland Drake. Here’s how to get it. You can get the Black Scales Highland Drake at the Obsidian Throne in The Waking Shores Thankfully, you don’t need to level up two different reputationslike you have to do for the Loyal Magmammoth mount....

Look for it on Steam and GOG.com in February 2015 Badgers were cute inShelter, but I prefer the lynxes ofShelter 2— still adorable and higher up on the food chain. This is a survival game in which you begin as a pregnant lynx, a first for the medium, I’m sure. You’ll make a den, protect your young, and hunt prey in an open wilderness. Enough stalling, though — watch this lovely trailer....

The fact thatCities: Skylines 2is getting better at lastis all well and good, but it’s still not as good as it should’ve been, and so the archetypal city-builder fan of yore might be looking elsewhere for their next darling. CouldMetropolis 1998be it, perhaps? In truth, even thoughMetropolis 1998shares its niche and genre withCities: Skylines 2, the two games couldn’t really be further apart in practice. What we’ve got in front of us here is a supremely nostalgic and ridiculously delightful retro pixel city-builder with adeepfocus on customization and personalization....

Can you evenbuya PS5 yet? 2022 has been a pretty action-packed year for Sony’s premier gaming brand. And while arguably the first year that saw its two-year-old platform, PlayStation 5, accelerate its salespast the 25 million mark,the past 12 months have still seen a wide variety of new releases squeezed onto its best-selling predecessor, PS4, hardware that simply refuses to go gently into that good night.

God of Wargoes multiplayer. It seems like a simple idea at first, but that’s a pretty big goal if you really think about it. Taking the series’ gameplay and cinematic style and making that work online with multiple players couldn’t have been easy. And from the looks of it, Sony Santa Monica isn’t planning on taking the easy way out withAscension. They’re already calling it the most ambitiousGod of Wargame they’ve ever made....

What goes good with second chances? Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Townwas a work in progress when it was released in North America for Nintendo Switch in March of 2021.

Neat Platinum Games was founded in 2006, so it’s the studio’s 10th anniversary this year. To celebrate, the developer has released a wallpaper of its greatest hits of sorts, with tons of characters from other games, but mostly its flagship franchise,Bayonetta. Platinum has its busiest year ever it seems, withStar Fox Zero, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Nier: Automata, andScaleboundall in the pipeline. On paper all of them look good, and the company has rarely (if ever) put out a bad game (I likedKorrafor what it was, and enjoyed the challenge)....
