Great moments in PC gaming: Successfully pulling off the ultimate healer limit break in Final Fantasy 14

Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn was released in 2013 by Division 5 and Square Enix. The game features a diverse range of job classes, including tanks, Dancers, and Healers. The Valigarmanda trial highlights the camaraderie and strategy among players, particularly when a tank absorbs a devastating attack. Dancers, while dealing damage and providing support, may feel less impactful compared to melee classes or Red Mages and Summoners. Healers play a crucial role in maintaining party health, but their contributions are often underappreciated. The healer's limit break (LB3) can resurrect all fallen party members with full health, offering a chance to turn the tide during critical moments. Successfully executing LB3 enriches the team's learning experience and transforms potential failures into triumphs. The pressure of timing and strategy in using the healer's ultimate resurrection spell enhances the gameplay experience, fostering teamwork and skill among players.

Avowed is a jack-of-all-trades action RPG with a rare attention for the little details

Obsidian Entertainment is developing the fantasy RPG Avowed, which is not an expansive open-world game like Skyrim. The game features firearms, diverging from traditional fantasy tropes. Director Carrie Patel highlights the series' blend of political intrigue with philosophical and metaphysical elements. The game aims for a scope similar to The Outer Worlds while focusing on expansive role-playing and action-heavy combat. Players can purchase firearms and use a classless system to combine melee and magic, which is uncommon in RPGs. Combat includes a responsive dodge mechanic and a stun meter for special attacks, with a balance between agility and weight. The game encourages exploration with climbable surfaces and hidden rewards, and player agency is emphasized. Avowed includes tutorials and customizable user interface controls. While the gameplay is engaging, some elements feel artificial, and the writing may not resonate as deeply as other titles.

The Big Indie Interviews: Message Photon on their award-winning roguelike Painted Peril

Painted Peril secured second place in The Very Big Indie Pitch at Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki. The game is a roguelike experience developed by a team from Finland, where players explore a world of color magic and combine hues to create spells. The project originated about 1.5 years ago as a university course initiative at Chalmers University of Technology, where a group of six students developed the initial prototype and won the Jury Spotlight Award at the Gotland Game Conference. Players control Sylvia the squirrel, navigating a cave system and using color effects and spellcasting mechanics. The game includes various bottles that affect spell behavior, promoting experimentation with color combinations. Emil Ekroth, a developer, discussed the challenges of indie development, emphasizing the need for versatility and motivation. The pitching experience highlighted the importance of clear communication. The team is exploring publishing options for Painted Peril, including potential self-publishing on Steam.
