Minecraft modder creates a weird portal mob with the ability to teleport the player

Minecraft features a diverse ecosystem of mobs that enhance gameplay, ranging from helpful to hostile creatures. A player named u/InfiniteSwimming861 introduced a new mob resembling a portal that allows players to enter it, similar to traditional portals. The community engaged with this concept, discussing scenarios and strategies related to the mob. User u/DarylHimself raised concerns about novice players accidentally entering the portal and ending up in the end dimension with minimal resources. Other users suggested enhancements to the mob, such as incorporating a spawner for silverfish. The creator also developed another mob called "enderchester," which collects broken blocks for players. Recent updates from developers have introduced new cow variants and adjustments to their update strategy, aligning with community desires for more frequent updates.

My favorite mobile game from 2019 is back and more addictive than ever

Archero 2 has a similar gameplay loop to its predecessor, with the addition of new game modes and a faster, more difficult experience. The new tiered power-up system adds excitement, but the game is criticized for having too many menus and paid rewards. The game lacks weapon variety compared to the first installment, with only five weapon types available. Unlocking new characters takes longer, with some characters only accessible through paid options. The artifact system is criticized for being pay-to-win. Despite these criticisms, the game has been successful, generating an estimated .6 million in revenue in its first week.

The game runs smoothly on an RTX 2070 Super graphics card and AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, even at high settings, with minimal slowdowns.

Judero review

Judero, developed by Talha Kaya and Jack King-Spooner, is set to release on September 16, 2024. The game features a warrior-Druid named Judero navigating the Scottish Borders, encountering quirky townsfolk and engaging in a narrative rich with character and humor. Non-playable characters (NPCs) share their stories, often touching on themes of environmentalism and existentialism, presented in a light-hearted manner. The artistic style shifts to vibrant watercolors in homes, enhancing the dreamlike quality. Gameplay includes hack-and-slash combat, bullet-hell mechanics, and a possession feature that allows players to control enemies. The game runs smoothly on various platforms, including the Steam Deck, though load times may vary with external storage.

Final Fantasy XVI is an uneven PC port with performance to match

Final Fantasy XVI has been released on PC fifteen months after its PS5 launch, featuring action RPG elements and a diverse cast of characters. The game includes enhancements such as DLSS and FSR upscalers and improved mouse and keyboard integration, but it does not fully utilize key PC features and presents challenges for lower-end systems. The official system requirements are demanding, with the minimum specs requiring a Windows 10/11 64-bit OS, AMD Ryzen 5 1600 or Intel Core i5-8400 CPU, 16GB RAM, and a GPU like the AMD Radeon RX 5700 or Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070. Recommended specs for 1080p/60fps include an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X or Intel Core i7-10700 CPU, 16GB RAM, and a GPU like the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT or Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080. Performance can be inconsistent, with frame rates dropping significantly during intense moments. The GTX 1070 averages 52fps at 1080p/Low settings, while the RTX 4060 can achieve around 60fps on Ultra settings. The game lacks support for ultrawide resolutions and caps cutscenes at 30fps. Recommended optimal settings for performance include using DLSS 3/FSR 3, enabling dynamic resolution, and adjusting graphical fidelity to medium, which can yield a frame rate of 73fps on the RTX 4060.
