A great example of this can be seen in the differences between The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. On a technical level, Skyrim is clearly superior. It looks so much better than Morrowind that it’s almost silly to compare the two, and its combat doesn’t suffer from pure RNG like Morrowind’s does. Skyrim’s point-to-point fast travel opens up new options for combat and exploration; annoying mechanics like stat drain spells have been removed entirely and character building is practically automatic. All one has to do is play the game. These are all things that make Skyrim much more convenient than Morrowind, but they don’t necessarily make it better.

A common complaint about Halo at the time was that matches were always about map control and power weapons. This was true, and it made turning the tide of battle difficult. Halo matches were won purely through map knowledge, coordination and often just out-playing one’s opponents. There was no gear/build meta to keep track of and no rock-paper-scissors element outside of challenging power-exotic weapon Farming users. The team that made the best use of the common tools was the team that won. Turning a match around was difficult, yes, but it could be done with enough effort. The result: a feeling unmatched by most modern multiplayer shooters.

It's been six years since the original Destiny was released and every year it feels like we're getting closer to finally facing off against the Darkness. Every year, however, we're told it'll happen later. Destiny 2: Shadowkeep last year made the most significant promise yet that Darkness was finally coming and Destiny 2: Beyond Light blows it. Destiny 2: Beyond Light is about as routine as Destiny 2 can be, offering a shallow campaign against a shallow antagonist, a new patrol zone, a new Strike and a new Raid. Stasis goes a long way to help freshen up the already great gameplay, but it does little to hide that a lot of content has been stripped away from the game and that we still don't have a new enemy faction to face. There are genuine elements of greatness in Beyond Light, including an intriguing subplot that should have been the main campaign and a great raid, but it's not enough to replace everything we've lost. Destiny 2: Beyond Light is another enjoyable Destiny adventure thanks to the lore and gameplay, but it does little to move Destiny 2 beyond the status quo.

Once again, head to the pathway leading to World's Grave. Once inside World's Grave, reach the end of the pathway until the raised platform allows players to turn left. Run beyond the circular room. The Chamber of Night is located here. Follow the pathway, leading to a large cavern. Left of the entrance is a small cave containing the Horned Wre

Bungie's argument for not creating a Destiny 3 hinges on the idea that they don't want you or them to start over. It would be a strong argument if not for the fact that Destiny 2: Beyond Light feels like a reset. In the blink of an eye, Bungie has removed four worlds, countless strikes, numerous pieces of loot, Raids and entire questlines from the game. Europa is new, the Cosmodrome from Destiny is back, there's one new Strike, a new Raid and a few new enemy types, but that's not enough to cover what was lost, especially since that was all paid content.

Destiny 2: Beyond Light is a beautiful addition to an already gorgeous looking game. Despite releasing in 2017, Destiny 2 remains a beauty thanks to its strong artistic vision. Europa is an enchanting world to run through with its snow effects, glossy white lab interiors, and towering buildings. The game runs well, but the current-gen consoles' limitations still hold it back, and load times remain annoyingly long. Hopefully the release of the native next-gen versions on December 8 will truly unlock Destiny 2's potential on consoles.

Levers open doors that typically provide access to Spores or Electric Cores players will need to destroy to either open another door or disable an electrical field. Spores grant a buff called the Egregore Link when players stand next to them and shoot them. With the buff, Guardians can pass through certain fields that are otherwise protected by a deadly substance that will slowly kill players who try to enter the pathway without the Egregore Link b

Rhapsody of Blood is an RPG built using the rules for UFO Press' post-apocalyptic Legacy: Life Among The Ruins , which is itself a hack of the Powered By The Apocalypse rules used for the groundbreaking Apocalypse World RPG. Instead of focusing on a close-knit clan trying to survive the collapse of society, Rhapsody of Blood is a game about a bloodline of heroes fighting against the evil of a gothic, supernatural castle that appears once a generation to plague their land. Over the course of a campaign of Rhapsody of Blood , each player controls multiple PCs from the same heroic bloodline, with veteran vanquishers of the castle handing down relics, techniques, and secrets to their descendants so they may continue to fight the good fight in generations to c
