3,150 Merits is the finish line, and if you're wondering whether The Last Resort event is worth your time in the Riven Tides update, yeah, it is. From April 28 to May 25, 2026, every successful extract feeds a 21-tier reward track with event-only cosmetics, five 50-token drops, and enough account value that even players already stacked on ARC Raiders Coins should still care. The short answer is simple: play normal raids, survive, bank XP into Merits, and grab Ship Models when you can do it without throwing the run. How does The Last... read full review »

If you've been hanging around the Sanctuary lately, you've probably noticed the vibe has shifted big time. Most of us expected the Spiritborn to keep its crown or for Rogues to stay the go-to for speed, but the Warlock has basically crashed the party and taken over the house. It's not just that they're strong; it's how smooth they feel right out of the gate. Usually, a new class is a clunky mess for a few weeks, but players are already snatching up specific Diablo 4 Items to push their Warlocks into the stratosphere... read full review »

Crafting in Path of Exile has always had that little moment of dread. You hover over the item, check the open prefix or suffix, then hit it and hope it doesn't turn into a joke. That's part of the charm, sure, but it's also why many players stopped touching serious crafts unless they were loaded. With Path of Exile 2, the way PoE 2 Currency works seems aimed at changing that feeling without turning the game soft or predictable. A Better Kind of Gamble The Greater Exalted Orb is interesting because it doesn't simply hand... read full review »

Bird calls used to be the kind of noise you'd ignore while sprinting through Riven Tides with half a backpack full of scrap. Not now. The Avian Alarm Project has turned those strange signals into something players actually chase, because they're tied to hidden caches, ARC interference, and the messy business of staying alive long enough to extract. It also changes how you think about ARC Raiders Items, since even ordinary loot can become part of a longer chain instead of just clutter you dump at base. A project that takes it... read full review »

Since the 1.1 update, one team has quietly pushed its way to the front of the Arknights: Endfield conversation. Players call it Double Trouble, and it actually lives up to the hype. If you've been testing lineups, or even browsing discussions about Arknights endfield boosting, you've probably seen the same thing: this setup doesn't lean on the usual one-carry model. Instead, Tangtang and Rossi split the damage load in a way that feels more natural in real combat. That alone makes it stand out. You're not just stacking every... read full review »

If you've been spending time in Diamond Dynasty, the Cornerstone Program is one of the easiest wins on the board. It's tucked into the Assorted Programs tab, and unlike some of the longer grinds, this one actually feels worth the effort. You're getting a 91 OVR Carlos Correa at the end, which is a big deal this early, especially if you're trying to improve your lineup without burning through MLB The Show 26 stubs. For most players, that alone makes it one of the smarter programs to clear sooner rather than later. Start... read full review »

Every Ranked reset brings the same question: is the reward actually worth the hours? This time, yeah, it probably is. If you've been stacking wins, flipping lineups, and saving MLB The Show 26 stubs for the next big upgrade, the Season 2 choice pack feels like a proper roster decision instead of a freebie. You still have to earn it the hard way, though. Reaching World Series at 900 rating is no joke, and the 1,000 program points path isn't much easier. It's a long climb either way. The extra card art at the top end is a nice touch... read full review »

A while back, if someone had said the strongest Druid setup in Path of Exile 2 would skip shapeshifting entirely, most players would've laughed it off. Now it doesn't sound weird at all. Since The Last of the Druids patch, the meta has shifted hard, and the plant-focused caster has gone from niche curiosity to a real standout. A lot of that comes down to how little gear pressure it puts on you early, which matters when you're trying to stretch your PoE 2 Currency and still get a build online fast. It's usually paired with... read full review »

I figured Diablo IV's April Fools stuff would be a quick laugh and then everyone would move on. Didn't happen. "A Fowl Beast Rages" landed, Chi'Khan showed up, and somehow this oversized murder-bird became one of the better reasons to log in all week. What makes it work is that it doesn't feel separate from the game. It's plugged right into the normal World Boss cycle, so you're not learning some awkward side system just to get rewards. If you already spend time chasing Diablo 4 Items, this event slides into... read full review »
