Overall, the pattern of Wizards Unite 's gameplay looks to be borrowing heavily Pokémon GO 's. Players walk around to find collectibles, monitor their resources, and are eventually forced to visit real-world locations to replenish those resources. Then again, most mobile games have some sort of resource system. Even if Wizards Unite handles resources similar to GO, the latter still has very Pokémon -specific features like gyms and legendary battles. Surely Niantic wouldn't give us some Polyjuice Potion version of that, right? Wel

Despite such a cautious statement, the graphics look crisp in docked mode at 1080p and handheld mode at 720p. Being locked in at 30fps for both modes is not a detriment at all, and there are only a few dips in certain maps when there is a lot going on at once. Overall, the benefit of playing in handheld mode is absolutely worth the slight graphical downgrade when compared to a PC at high setti

The recently acquired Dead by Daylight property has been released for the Nintendo Switch through a partnership between Behavior Interactive and Koch Media. The game was released for the PC in 2016, and the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2017. Thankfully, the Nintendo Switch port is outstanding, and the ability to dash around as a survivor or killer in handheld mode is something any fan or newcomer to the Adventure Game Crafting Guide will l

The holidays are now over, and 2014 is upon us, and with it comes a television premiere/return schedule even more complicated than in the fall. As old and new favorites return from break, even more old and new shows will begin to premiere, and it will be up to you to decide what to and, more importantly, what not to wa

The final section of the dev blog goes into the "united" part of Wizards Unite , revealing what are basically raid battles. Just like Pokémon GO (how many times is that now?), you have to go to a special real-world location to partake in these battles. However, instead of fighting legendary Pokémon, you will team up with other players to fight evil wizards and scary magical beasts like Dement

After unlocking or rummaging through a chest, the next Survivor becomes injured, they are inflicted with the Broken status effect, which means they can't be healed by any means. But after a determined number of seconds, dependent on the perks' rarity, they are automatically healed. If players can evade the Killer's grasp, this perk can make the difference between life and de

There are even three teams. This seems particularly odd since the Harry Potter franchise has four perfect teams built into its story with the Hogwarts houses. Instead, it seems we're getting Valor, Instinct, and Mystic repeated in the form of three Professions. Wizards Unite players can choose to be Aurors, Magizoologists, or Professors, which totally fit the theme of the aggressive one, the offbeat one, and the smart one. One nice difference is that the three Professions are encouraged to work together, unlike how Pokémon GO emphasizes competition between the te

Generators are the main objective for Survivors to complete, and the key to their escape. A previous patch raised how long it takes for Survivors to fully repair a generator to try and avoid 'gen-rush' games for more fun trials for every

In Pokémon GO, you get to choose your appearance and your outfit, which makes it feel more like it’s you in the game. This is something that Wizards Unite is bound to improve on as time goes by, but for now, fans of Niantic's other outing are likely to feel a little disappointed by t

The Nintendo Switch release comes with nine killers, ten survivors, and three cosmetic packs. Other characters are available for purchase in the game, while more will be available in future releases. Note that Steve Harrington from Stranger Things in the image below is an example of a character that must be purchased in the in-game store. Oddly enough, some DLC is not available for purchase, namely Leatherface and Fre

Though it is a sequel by name, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is not a sequel by nature, taking place in a different city and allowing players to don the fangs of a different vampire. Set in Seattle, players take on the role of a freshly awoken elder vampire, able to choose from four of the vampire clans from the pen-and-paper RPG , with more likely released as DLC following the game's rele

Premiere Picks: Helix (Syfy) from Battlestar Galatica creator Ronald D. Moore; True Detective (HBO), starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson; Sherlock (PBS) season 3; Black Sails (Starz); and (A&E) and BBC America’s Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond mini-ser

Players can benefit from seeing the Killer's aura with this Lara Croft perk Hardened. After unlocking a chest or blessing/cleaning a totem, they can no longer scream by any means which gives away their location and instead see where the Killer is on the
