Ascendant Challenges allow players to farm two pieces of gear every week, per character. Completing a challenge for the first time for the week will grant a random piece of Dreaming City loot. Petra Venj sells an Ascendant Challenge weekly bounty that drops a random piece of Dreaming City gear upon its completion. The challenge is to complete an Ascendant Challenge, doubling the rewards received for the week if acquired before the Ascendant Challenge is completed. Ascendant Challenges appear to players who consume a Tincture of Queensf


Forsaken ensured that Activision bowed out with a bang. The expansion provides many of the things that players had been hoping for and more than makes up for the mediocre offerings of the two expansions that came before it. It may have taken a year to achieve, but Destiny 2 finally felt like a worthy successor to the original g

Square Enix finally delivered its long-awaited first part of Final Fantasy VII Remake earlier this year. While fans anxiously await details on what’s next, there’s plenty of reason to revisit the game on PS5, now with less waiting time. Booting up the game and loading up a save file is much faster than on PS4, but we've noticed something weird with Final Fantasy VII Remake on both PS4 and PS5 compared to all other games we rested. For some reason, our testing found that it takes longer to load into a save file than it does to boot up the game. We’re not sure this is, but at least both loads are still an improvement over PS4.


The Dark Below expands upon many of the game's worst elements rather than introducing new ideas or building on the things that really worked. What little story development provided falls far too short and much of the length comes not from additional content but instead meaningless grinding. The Dark Below offers something new to do for those who have already reached the endgame, but very little e

Released early in the PS4’s lifecycle, Bloodborne remains one of the best games on the platform. Unfortunately, at launch, the game was hampered with extremely long load times. Thankfully, From Software continued to work on that post-launch. Today, Bloodborne’s load times are extremely fast on PS4, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be better, which is where PS5 comes in. Overall, we’re looking at modest improvements to an already fast-loading game.


Next, players will need to earn all seven Raid Completion Triumphs. Each of these Triumphs requires players to complete the Raid under certain conditions, usually with a team made entirely of a certain kind of class or Subclass. These incl


All that said, exploring Neptune can be interesting, with the advanced man-made city of Neomuna offering something very different from most of the other in-game locations. The Strand subclass still holds up pretty well too, as do the many quality-of-life improvements that were introduced as part of the expans


The story content was engaging and introduced some interesting ideas and characters, and the plethora of quest lines provided players with more than enough to keep them busy. Arriving two years after the game's release, though, many players had started to grow a little tired of the grind and were ready to move on to something new. Thankfully, with Destiny 2 looming large on the horizon, they wouldn't have to wait too much lon


The factions, Battleground foothold Data Pads enemies, and themes of The Brightest Things We Know are clear, loving homages to the Bungie's science-fantasy FPS Destiny franchise , particularly with its emphasis on immortal champions, technology indistinguishable from magic, and alien species with strange cultures and ethics. Novel additions to the Forged In The Dark rules for The Brightest Things We Know include clever mechanics for "respawning" after death, character classes themed around constellations, and a gameplay cycle that alternates between dangerous combat missions called "Strikes" and scenes of recuperation and socialization aboard the foundry-ships of human


A build centered around massive boss damage, this is for Hunters who want to pop a Golden Gun precision hit on the boss and then get their super back in relatively short order. When fighting Taniks in Deep Stone Crypt, this build allows the Hunter to send a nasty hit into the boss’s face and get their super back well before the next damage face without having to rely on picking up orbs generated by other Guardi

Our 2019 Game of the Year , Capcom’s remake of Resident Evil was an astounding addition to the PS4’s library. Despite being a linear game in a set map, Resident Evil 2 took a long time to load, especially when first booting up the game. While it didn’t reach the horrid minute mark, it always cut it too close. On PS5, the bootup time is cut in half, getting players in faster. There’s not a huge change when loading a save, but there’s at least a slight improvement.


If Guardians find they need just a little bit more super energy to cap themselves, throwing some Dynamo mods into their armor and dodging near enemies can get them over the top, as can using Prometheus Lens to cause burn damage – which restores ability and super ene
