This article contains major spoilers for Bayonetta 3. Throughout the entirety of Bayonetta 3, multiple characters state they are on a quest to discover the truth. However, by the time the game has run its course, it is firmly established that the truth--particularly in a world abundant in alternate universes and timelines--is both subjective and personal. For this dimensions' Luka, the "truth" is he exists "to get Bayonetta to where she needs to be." Bayonetta's truth is never explicitly...

He took that as assurance that the tech giant was committed...
Playing online games with friends can be a frustrating experience. If the game is hosted on a server, you have to depend on that server being up and stable. If the game is hosted peer-to-peer, the host might have to be actively playing the game, or have a machine in their home they can use to host a server. Obsidian's Grounded, however, has found a genius way around all of this--and it's something other developers should look to replicate where possible. WARNING: There is a close-up picture...

I love Catalyst a lot, and it very well could be the recency bias talking, but she's my favorite of the new playable characters added to Apex Legends during the battle royale's fourth year. The ferrofluid-wielding defender isn't a force to be reckoned with--Catalyst won't be breaking the competitive meta anytime soon--and her story hasn't posed any groundbreaking lore ramifications yet. But none of that matters when Catalyst plays a lot like the legends added in Year 3, all of whom celebrate...
