Botman Ninja

It is Batman season yet again, a fresh take on the character is on its way to the silver screen with starring Robert Pattinson. Over the years, the caped crusader has had his fair share of games, lots of them in a battle for best Batman game ever. Assuming all goes well, we should have Gotham Knights loaded up on our consoles later this year, and I can’t wait. However, before we treat ourselves to more stories about The Dark Knight, let's break out our batarangs and rank the top 10 best Batman games of all time. The Batman List of the Best Batman Games of All Time 10. The Adventures of Batman and Robin 9. Batman (NES) 8. Batman Begins 7. Batman Arkham VR 6. Batman: The Telltale Series Shadows Edition 5. LEGO Batman: The Videogame 4. Arkham Asylum 3. Arkham Origins 2. Arkham City 1. Arkham Knight 10. The Adventures of Batman and Robin The Adventures of Batman and Robin for the SNES is a bonafide classic Batman game. This side-scroller action take on the caped crusader is also one of the best tv show tie-ins on the platform. For fans who grew up with the animated series, this is a special game that faithfully adapts the cartoon to a video game. Entire levels are based completely on the cartoon, and the gameplay is quite fun, featuring multiple tools at your disposal for plenty of combat diversity. 9. Batman (NES) Batman for the NES holds a special place in my heart. It is actually the first video game I remember playing on the NES at a young age. Seeing the pixel art batmobile at the game’s opening on a chunky CRT is a core memory. This is also a rock-solid platformer that ties into the . Batman draws inspiration from Ninja Gaiden with its wall jump mechanic and brutal difficulty, and trust me, this game can get tricky. It also features a delightful gritty aesthetic, fitting for a Batman game and tie-in to the Tim Burton film. Check this one out if you’re a retro game enthusiast. 1989 movie 8. Batman Begins The story surrounding video game adaptions of the Nolan films is quite an interesting one. At one point, the now-defunct Pandemic studios were in charge of an ambitious tie-in to The Dark Knight that was unfortunately canceled. However, Batman Begins received a video game, and it is a damn good one. Batman Begins combines Splinter Cell style stealth with classic beat-em-up combat mechanics. Going back and playing it now, it certainly feels like a rough blueprint for the Arkham games with its fear mechanics and stealth concepts. What I enjoyed most about Batman Begins was how it fleshed out a lot of the world in the Nolanverse. We got a better look at Arkham Asylum, the Narrows, Wayne Manor, and even a fun Batmobile chase sequence. 7. Batman Arkham VR Every Batman game review has the same line, “this game really makes you feel like Batman,” but what if the game actually made you Batman? Enter Batman Arkham VR, where you can fully take the mantle of the world’s greatest detective and fight side by side with Robin in this Gotham murder mystery. While, unfortunately, there is no combat in this VR game, there is an excellent sense of interactivity with the world that you would come to expect from a VR experience. You can utilize Batman’s gadgets, interact with the Batcomputer, and of course, try your hand at throwing batarangs. 6. Batman: The Telltale Series Shadows Edition The Shadows Edition of the Batman Telltale series is great, combining the original first season with the second season’s Enemy Within in one story-heavy package. This edition of the series is particularly unique in that it grants the option to play both games in a black and white noir-like color scheme which I really enjoyed. The action takes a backseat in these games, seeing as Telltale games are all story-driven, decision-based games. However, it still is a compelling Batman game overall. Due to its nature, the Telltale series dives into Bruce Wayne’s psyche far more than any other game on this list. Batman fans should definitely check this one out for a more personal view on Bruce Wayne. 5. LEGO Batman: The Videogame Traveller's Tales has a habit of taking existing franchises and turning them into lovable LEGO games that spill over with humor and quirk. Batman is no exception. There is just so much to love about LEGO Batman. You get to see a fully explorable Batcave and Arkham Asylum that serve as hubs to heroes and villains, respectively, and you can even play as Alfred. LEGO Batman has a vast amount of levels and characters to play to the point where you can tell that the developers have a lot of love for the source material. It even has the classic theme from the 1989 Batman movie! LEGO Batman is a great game and even ranks high as one of the best LEGO games, period. 4. Arkham Asylum The game that changed superhero games. Arkham Asylum is one of those genuinely influential games, the presence of which is still felt over a decade later. On influence alone, one could argue that this is the best Batman game ever. Take a look at Insomniac's Spider-Man, and you will see how much the Arkham games influenced it. There is a good reason why so many games use the same combat system as Arkham Asylum; no other system feels as satisfying and rhythmic as the one Rocksteady perfected on their first try. Other massive successes for Arkham Asylum were its superb level design that takes inspiration from Metroidvanias, top-notch voice acting from longstanding Batman voice actors, and incredible visuals that still hold up today. If you’re a Bat-fan that still hasn’t played this one, I don’t know what to tell you. Go get it now! 3. Arkham Origins In a world where Arkham Origins didn’t release after the pivotal Arkham Asylum or the fantastic Arkham City, Origins would have been rated much higher. There were some big shoes to fill, and unfortunately, Arkham Origins was released in a buggy state, which tainted the first impressions for many gamers. However, this game has some real merit, especially in its story, which gives us a closer look at Bruce Wayne and has some great moments of friction between him and Alfred. Origins also contains the best DLC in the Arkham series, Cold, Cold, Heart. If you’re like me and grew up with the animated series, I’m sure you have some admiration for the Heart of Ice episode, and this DLC is like an expanded version of it. 2. Arkham City Arkham City took everything great about Arkham Asylum and doubled down on it: more villains, a bigger city, and improved gameplay. Never before has any studio so perfectly captured the feeling of being Batman, perched on a city rooftop and keeping watchful eyes on the Gotham streets below. I especially loved Arkham City because it cared for the lesser villains in the Batman universe. Hugo Strange being one of the main villains and Clayface being the final boss is a great way to bring lesser explored characters to the forefront. But overall, the amount of heroes and villains in Arkham City is overwhelming, and it's an excellent game for fans of the Bat. 1. Arkham Knight I know, I know, this is far from many people’s first choice. But hey, this is my list, and I am here to say that Arkham Knight is the best and the most well-rounded Batman game you could ask for. Some of my disappointments with Arkham City were that it felt very narrow in scale both in the city size and how much it utilized so many characters in Batman’s cast. Arkham Knight alleviated these concerns and improved upon everything Arkham City had built. Arkham Knight’s rendition of Gotham is truly sprawling, far larger than Arkham City’s map, and has more iconic landmarks spread through the world. It’s big enough to house the batmobile, which is a point of contention for many gamers, but personally, I found the batmobile to be really entertaining. Plus, fan-favorite sidekicks like Robin and Nightwing are playable with a whole tag team combat mechanic that is oh so satisfying when you get Batman and Nightwing synced together in an epic dance of gadgets and groin kicks. To me, Arkham Knight evolved the series everything a Batman game should be, and for that reason, it is the best batman game of all time. Final Thoughts on the Best Batman Games of All Time I said it initially, Batman has had his fair share of games throughout the years. Moreover, a 1989 Batman game making the top 10 list also proves that developers have been making some excellent Batman games ever since they could bring the caped crusader to home consoles. Just don’t play the Batman & Robin movie tie-in game; that would be a huge mistake. As always, this is just my own personal take on the best Batman games, and hopefully, I could convince you to try something new or, at a minimum, give Batman Arkham Origins a second chance. Keep your eyes peeled for some new Batman games because one thing is for sure, the world's greatest detective likely has more stories to tell.

10 Best Batman Games of All Time

220 Stories To Learn About Ux Design

If you aren’t into Mario Party, Wario Ware, Metroid or Monster Hunter, 2021 likely felt like a dud for exclusives if you are a Nintendo Switch owner. You may find yourself asking, “what the heck do I play in the meantime?” To be fair, the Nintendo eShop doesn’t make it easy to find something new to play, it’s an unorganized mess compared to other discoverability experiences on other platforms. Never fear! I’ve rounded up a list of severely underrated Nintendo Switch games you may have missed in 2021, that offer really cool, unique experiences that will satiate your desire for something new to play. Let’s get into it. List of Underrated Nintendo Switch Games Dodgeball Academia Eastward Unpacking Disco Elysium: The Final Cut Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! Tails of Iron Cyber Shadow Overboard! Dreamscaper Everhood 1. Dodgeball Academia I don’t know who sanctioned all the dodgeball games in 2021, but I’m here for it. Dodgeball Academia fits somewhere between Scott Pilgrim VS. the World, Golf Story, and Knockout City.  Despite the mash-up of hits, this game effectively carves out its own niche by bringing rock-solid RPG elements to its whimsical tongue-in-cheek gameplay. It’s story-mode probably won’t blow you away, but it’s charming enough to keep you entertained. Gameplay is straightforward in the way a simple arcade game should be. However, Dodgeball Academia manages to flesh out a few interesting mechanics–such as special abilities and power-ups–to keep things interesting for the long run. Best of all, Dodgeball Academia supports local play on Nintendo Switch with two Joy-cons, which is always a huge plus for me. 2. Eastward Eastward manages to nail a modern SNES style action RPG that is as entertaining to look at as it is to play. Invoking themes of Earthbound, Stranger Things and the Goonies, Eastward tells a compelling story of a mysterious girl with Psychic powers discovering the dark truths regarding the sheltered life of an underground post-apocalyptic mining community. The story is creepy, characters are memorable and charming, while the captivating 16-bit art style entices players into its intriguing narrative. The moment-to-moment gameplay is also solid. Eastward uses unique psychic powers, weapons and puzzle mechanics that feel well thought out. Enemies can be surprisingly punishing, so mastering combat becomes a worthy challenge as the game progresses. Eastward feels right at home on the console, making it one of the most underrated games on Nintendo Switch. 3. Unpacking Perhaps one of the biggest surprises on this list is a game about…unpacking boxes? Unpacking is exactly that, but manages to feel like so much more. A relaxing puzzle game in practice, Unpacking is an incredible stress reliever at heart. Putting household items in their proper places has all the serotonin release as organizing your own living space. Hmmm, maybe I should actually organize my actual house? Unpacking has a deceivingly sweet story to tell underneath its simple gameplay that explores both the joys and hardships of moving on and starting a new leg of life's journey. 4. Disco Elysium: The Final Cut The dark post-apocalyptic detective RPG finally comes to Nintendo Switch. Despite being considered for Game of the Year when it was released on Steam in 2019, this game manages to make my list for the most underrated Nintendo Switch games in 2021 as it is still criminally underplayed by Nintendo fans. Disco Elysium fleshes out intricate mechanics worthy of a pen-and-paper RPG. Robust skill trees drastically change the abilities of your detective protagonist and how he reacts to the world around him. The game skillfully marries these mechanics with a brooding existentialism that elevates video game storytelling. With multiple endings, branching dialogue paths and diverse character builds to experiment with, Disco Elysium is worth digging into for multiple play-throughs. 5. Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! Another Steam transplant making its way onto Nintendo Switch, Doki Doki is possibly the most surprising game on this list. Don’t be fooled by Doki Doki’s cutesy facade, this visual novel is genuinely scary. It claims to be the #1 psychological horror experience, and that isn’t too much of a stretch. While you spend the majority of the game getting to know charming characters, writing poems, flirting and engaging in all the mundanity of high school, Doki Doki takes some alarmingly dark turns when you least expect it. Doki Doki has been a cult classic since releasing on Steam and is a natural fit on the Switch. However, this game is easily missed if this enigmatic game wasn’t already on your radar. To be fair, it’s a hard sell because the game's exterior says nothing about what horrors lurk under its veneer, and maintaining the surprise is essential to enjoyment. The creativity and unique gameplay of Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! are worth experiencing if you can hang with the scares. 6. Tails of Iron Tails of Iron takes inspiration from a grab-bag of sources to create something refreshing on Nintendo Switch. The cut-out animation art style was heavily inspired by Eastern European wood block carvings, and feels like a sibling to other beautiful RPG’s like Octopath Traveller and Darkest Dungeon. Tails of Iron’s bold black outlines and fairy-tale esthetic provoke it’s own unique tone as the game explores the dark underbelly of the forest where rats, frogs and insects fight for domination. Reminiscent of the world of Redwall created by Brian Jacques, or Game of Thrones, Tails of Iron oozes good fantasy vibes in it’s storytelling, themes and characters. The combat is simple, yet punishing. Obviously inspired by the Souls series, Tails of Iron uses timing, parries and counter-attack mechanics in tandem with a variety of weapons with different strengths and weaknesses to combat hordes of vermin. While perhaps not a master-of-one quality, Tails of Iron does a lot of different things well enough. 7. Cyber Shadow Cyber Shadow is published by Yacht Club, and is a follow up to their smash-hit Shovel Knight. This time around to release a game that is unashamedly an homage to the beloved Ninja Gaiden series. It gives you all the feels from the 8-bit golden age of gaming, but with all the modern bells-and-whistles that improve the quality of life. they have worked with Machine Head Studios Cyber Shadow challenges players with tactical platforming and combat you’d expect from the genre. Katanas, ninja gadgets and platforming ability don’t feel new necessarily, but where Cyber Shadow leans on familiarity they execute with a pristine level of polish. Yacht Club’s skill in level design, pacing and challenge present in Shovel Knight is on full display here that help it stand out from other modern “retro” video games. 8. Overboard! "It's like Clue on a boat" could be the simplest elevator pitch for Overboard!, but the game manages to be so much more. Overboard seems to lean into all the tropes of a classic detective visual novel with puzzle elements and dialogue choices, yet diverts from the norm in an interesting way–you are the murderer. Set aboard the SS Hook, the game tells a story of a wife who pushes her husband into the ocean. The next morning your eclectic co-passengers seek to solve the who-done-it mystery in the 8 hours it takes to get to shore. Where most games in the genre would have you dig around for clues to find the killer, your role in Overboard! is to hide clues, deceive concerned parties or even shift the blame to a poor, innocent, victim. The story is fluid, able to be influenced by branching dialogue paths, narrative choices and timing events. How you manage to escape undetected is up to you in this interactive story that feels fresh in it’s genre. Overboard! is worth checking out as one of the most underrated Nintendo Switch games as it distinctively riffs on a classic narrative with clever gameplay and a good-enough story that is highly replayable. 9. Dreamscaper Dreamscaper is a lovely isometric hack-and-slash roguelike that explores the hostile dreamworld of protagonist Cassidy struggling with depression and finding her place in a new town. This dreamworld serves as an exploration of Cassidy’s past in her effort to find herself and deal with her anxieties. The moody lighting and dreamy art style, combined with the melancholy marionette character designs of Cassidy and her neighbors, help to create a visually stunning video game. Dreamscaper makes use of several gameplay mechanics. It is largely a roguelike with RPG elements and diverse weapon and ability types. This action and puzzle heavy gameplay takes place in Cassidy’s dream world. However, when she is awake, players explore Cassidy’s town and interact with characters that will boost your abilities in the real and dream worlds. Dreamscaper uses well written dialogue to interact with these real world characters that help tell a grounded story that feels natural. Much like video games that explore mental health like Celeste and Hellblade, Dreamscaper is a game that has an important message to share in the midst of its stellar video game design. 10. Everhood Everhood breaks the mold for what a video game can be in this belovedly odd experience. Part RPG, part rhythm game, part action game, Everhood covers a wealth of genres and art styles. With the acid trip charm of Undertale, Everhood takes you on a radical journey to battle with music. Everhood will have you dungeon crawling, escaping bullet-hell encounters and fighting bosses on psychedelic Guitar Hero/DDR screens. The music is expectedly the star here, especially if you consistently enjoy 8-bit soundtracks. Along with the attention to detail in music, there is a permeating thoughtfulness in Everhood’s writing and character design. It is both zany and heartfelt in a way that feels intentional and earned. Everhood is one of those games that come around to remind us how special of an art form video games can be. 11. Unsighted Unsighted is another retro-style coming out in 2021 where android-like characters called Automatons try to protect their sentience with a material called Anima. If an automaton runs out of Anima, they turn into mindless machines called Unsighted. Unsighted is a race against time, where you must navigate an isometric action RPG world where your choices determine which of your friends are saved from becoming unsighted. The game is quick, snappy and makes heavy use of puzzles to make the time crunch all the more stressful. The gameplay is challenging in a way that a retro-style action game should be, and the game equips you with diverse weaponry and abilities to tackle its many obstacles. Your choices and gameplay influence the story in major ways, leading to multiple potential endings. Unsighted encourages further playthroughs with full Co-op, dungeon raid and Boss rush modes. The attention to detail is apparent in all phases of Unsighted, which nicely rounds out this list of underrated Nintendo Switch games. Final Thoughts on these 11 Underrated Nintendo Switch Games The Nintendo Switch is developing a diverse library of games to choose from in all genres. Of course you have the no-brainer games to play in 2021 like Metroid Dread and Marioparty Superstars, but its the underdogs that are really giving the Switch its personality. Plenty of unusual and unsuspecting indie titles are releasing with a high level of quality that are deserving of attention. What’s even better is that many of these games on this list are well below the standard retail video game price of $50-$60. Especially , these smaller titles should be on your radar. as 2021 and 2022 continue to be slower years for AAA games More in Gaming: The Wild at Heart Game Review (Nintendo Switch) The Batman: Arkham Games Ranked by Sales Soul Calibur Legacy & Review (Sega Dreamcast)

11 Underrated Nintendo Switch Games Everyone Should Try

11 juegos de Nintendo Switch subestimados que todos deberían probar

Super Heroes have never been more popular and profitable than they ever have. Whether from Marvel, DC, or somewhere else, it’s never been a better time to be a Super Hero fan. Luckily, some of the best Super Heroes of all time have also been part of the very best that the gaming industry has to offer. Spider-Man, Batman: Arkham City, Injustice, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, the list goes on and on. While some heroes have been given the light of day, some are still stuck in the shadows, praying when they can get the game that they deserve. These are just some of the heroes that deserve their own game. Even if they’ve co-starred with other heroes or starred in a forgotten gem, it’s about time they get the game that does them justice in today’s age. 1. The Punisher Frank Castle has had an interesting life in the gaming world. He starred in a few titles back in the early ‘90s and even had a pretty decent movie game that saw Thomas Jane reprise his role from the 2004 flick. After a god-awful Multiplayer game on the PS3, he has stuck to the sidelines as a playable character in games like Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 and a few mobile titles. The Punisher can be an easy character to adapt, but you either need to have an over-the-top bloodbath game or a gritty-noir story to do the character justice. We can easily see studios like Naughty Dog, for its grounded storytelling in The Last of Us, Machine Games, for its delightfully violent Wolfenstein games, or Remedy Entertainment, for basically making a Punisher game called Max Payne, taking on a project like this. 2. Wonder Woman Wonder Woman has been featured in many games that starred the Justice League, but not so much as her own solo adventure. With Gal Gadot bringing the heroine to life on the big screen, you’d think that people would want to play an action-adventure game starring Comic’s First Lady. Warner Brothers have plenty of studios under its belt, with Shadow of Mordor developer Monolith being the perfect devs to bring her first digital adventure to life. Who doesn’t want to see Wonder Woman stabbing and chopping heads off in an M-rated action game? 3. Black Panther It’s hard to put into words how much of an impact Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther had on the entertainment industry. While Marvel has had a few black Super Heroes, none have become as iconic as Prince T’challa. He’s become a symbol of black empowerment and has starred in the highest-grossing solo superhero movie. While he’s made appearances in Marvel’s Avengers and Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, it’s about time we see the industry give him his own solo adventure. Marvel’s Avengers had some elements to make a Black Panther game, but they were never fully realized so that the developers could make another expansion for the live-service experiment. If given a chance, Crystal Dynamics could knock a Black Panther game out of the park. 4. Batman Beyond Batman is no stranger to the Gaming Industry, with the Arkham series being one of the most iconic Super Hero franchises. Though his sidekicks will be taking the stage in the upcoming Gotham Knights, his future successor hasn’t had the best luck. Batman Beyond has plenty of potential for a brand new take on Terry McGuiness and his relationship with a retired Bruce Wayne. The younger version of Batman needs at least one good game under his belt, especially after that awful Return of the Joker game. Even if it’s not Rocksteady, we can see WB Montréal create a digital version of Neo-Gotham. 5. Jessica Jones There have been plenty of detective games, but few with a grounded, Super Hero protagonist. Jessica Jones is the ultimate private eye of the Marvel Universe. She has immense strength, but rather than go up against alien threats, she keeps things grounded and investigates the dirty underbellies of the Marvel universe. This could allow for some intriguing, crime-solving gameplay, similar to games like LA Noir or Judgement. While Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Daredevil have had their moments as playable characters, Jessica Jones could benefit the most of all the Defenders. 6. Captain America Captain America has been no stranger to the gaming world, but few have put him at the center stage. Those that have done so have been less than exciting, ranging from generic 2-D Beat’em ups or licensed-tie-ins. His last game, Captain America: Super Soldier, had a lot of potential but was ultimately wasted so it could coincide with the 2011 flick. If given another chance for a similar Prince of Persia meets Arkham Asylum style of game, Steve Rogers could knock it out of the park. But if they feel like Rogers is too played out, there’s always the chance of bringing his recent replacement, Sam Wilson. 7. Black Widow Spy games were all the rage back in the late ‘90s and throughout the 2000s. Splinter Cell, Metal Gear, and Perfect Dark were just some of the biggest names in the spy genre, but we haven’t seen much of them in the AAA scene. What better way to bring it back than having the most famous super spy around, Black Widow? The game could take inspiration from Splinter Cell Blacklist and allow players to customize the way they play. Or, we could see an action RPG from Obsidian, similar to the cult hit, Alpha Protocol. The possibilities are never-ending. 8. Blade Before Black Panther, Spider-Man, X-Men, and The Avengers made it to the big screen, Blade was the character that helped prove that Marvel movies could be entertaining and violent. While he’s headlined a few games, they were the typical licensed movie tie-in garbage. With the character set to make his MCU debut, it is a perfect time to make a Blade video game that does him justice. Blade is a snarky, one-line throwing bad-ass that wields a sword and guns. While Capcom creating it might be a stretch, we can see Ninja Theory, who developed DMC: Devil May Cry and Heavenly Sword, taking on the mantle. Conclusion With Marvel’s Guardian’s of the Galaxy coming out next month and Gotham Knights out next year, we’re slowly starting to see the big two comic book companies finally take some risks in the gaming industry. No one would’ve guessed the Avengers would ever assemble in gaming or expected that Batman starred some of the best games of all time. Now that Marvel and DC have made their marks in the gaming space, they’ll both need to take more risks if they want to stay on top.

5 Super Heroes Who Need their Own Game

Anime Games haven’t been on PC as much as people might want. Generally speaking, these games tend to be exclusives on Japanese-owned platforms like the PlayStation and Switch, making it hard for anime fans to play games based on their favorite shows on PC. It’s a good thing that publishers have been releasing their games onto Steam over the last few years. Finding a good anime game, however, is difficult. If the right settings aren’t selected, the Anime tag becomes a minefield of NSFW content. To help you avoid that minefield, these are the 9 best anime game adaptations found on Steam that should port over the best experiences. PC Anime Games List Jump Force My Hero One’s Justice 2 Sword Art Online Fatal Bullet Dragonball Fighter Z Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays Fate Extella Link One Piece Pirate Warriors Attack on Titan 2 1. Jump Force As far as anime games go, this is perhaps the most ambitious. Jump Force asks and answers the question “Who would win, Goku or Jotaro?” by turning it into an entire game. While the combat isn’t as nuanced or balanced as a dedicated fighting game, the fanservice and wish fulfillment granted by Jump Force might be enough to justify buying it. While the core of the game lies in one-on-one fighting, it comes with a single-player story mode that teaches the basics while being entertaining to players who watch too much shounen anime. 2. My Hero One’s Justice 2 As the name suggests, this anime fighting game is based on the ongoing series My Hero Academia. It’s got fully realised movesets for most of the characters featured between the Provisional Hero License and Overhaul Arcs, giving underused characters like Jirou animations that she might not have yet. The game’s story mode is a retelling of most of Seasons 3 and 4. It doesn’t add anything to the story, sticking faithfully to the source material. It’s a solid game if you want to spend more time in the anime’s universe. 3. Sword Art Online Fatal Bullet This role-playing game is an original story set in Gun Gale Online, a game featured heavily in Sword Art Online’s second season. Told from the perspective of a silent player-designed character, the story is essentially a meet-the-cast event stretched out for 30 hours the game lasts for. The gameplay itself can be quite fun, if grindy, thanks to the loot system and the need to farm mob drops to progress. 4. Dragon Ball Fighter Z The Dragon Ball series is uniquely suited for adaptation into a fighting game. With unbelievable strength and speed often mixing together in destructive and exhilarating fights, the chance to directly participate as a combatant might be too much for some fans to pass up. The animations and gameplay echo what the show demonstrates Goku to be capable of, with fighters teleporting across the sky and throwing spirit bombs and more at each other. It might be a simple fighting game but doesn’t need to be anything more than that. 5.Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Storm isn’t the newest Naruto game on Steam. It adapts Naruto Shippuden instead of Boruto and brings characters and maps from the original series with it. Like Dragonball Fighter Z, it’s just a fantastic anime game that aspires only to bring the original fights into the hands of players to execute themselves and does a great job of it. 6. SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays There aren’t many Gundam games on Steam which means that this strategy game using the diminutive SD Gundam models will have to do. The cutesier SD style doesn’t bring over the same sense of scale and menace that conventional Gundam designs bring with them but doesn’t hold back the gameplay and story. It acts as a crossover for all of Gundam’s alternate universes and includes most of their stories in its story mode. It’s the same brand of fanservice that many of the other anime games bring with their story modes, if that appeals to you. 7. Fate/EXTELLA LINK Fate doesn’t often have the chance to show its trademark Heroic Spirits demolish waves of mooks in most of the series because it likes to focus on petty things like character motivations and storytelling. Fate/EXTELLA LINK corrects this shortcoming by being a Dynasty Warriors-style action game that has 26 of Fate’s most recognisable Heroic Spirits showing off their talents and Noble Phantasms in the Fate/EXTRA universe. It’s easier than pulling for them in Fate: Grand Order, that’s for sure. 8.One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 One Piece Pirate Warriors, too, emulates Dynasty Warriors. Like Fate/EXTELLA LINK, this anime game brings to life the insanity from the manga, animating signature moves from the cast and letting you use those moves on hordes of enemies. The modern graphics bring the fighting and animation to life that will be a lot of fun for fans to play. 9. Attack on Titan 2 Props must be given to the team at Koei Tecmo Games for making such an engaging representation of the Attack on Titan series’ movement. Through its own retelling of the show up to Season 3, players get to learn how to kill titans with 3D maneuver gear. It’s made much simpler than the show portrays it but it is still incredibly satisfying to kill titans. Attack on Titan is a hard universe to adapt to video games but this game adapts it well. Final Thoughts on these Anime Games You probably know which of these games you would want to get if you watch Anime. Though they might be expensive, adaptations don’t come cheap and these are the best on the PC market. There’s always more to be found on Steam, if you’re willing to look. Also, if you’re adventurous, we’ve also looked at , which are a little unhinged.

The 9 Best Anime Games on PC

Superhero movies have been dominating the box office, with groups like the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy becoming household names. And the craze isn’t just in the theaters either, video games about superheroes are popular too. Games like Injustice, the Lego series, and the Batman: Arkham series have exploded in popularity, and the superhero wave isn’t done yet. Here are the 5 best superhero games arriving in 2021 and 2022. List of the 5 Best Superhero Games on the Horizon Gotham Knights Guardians of the Galaxy Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge Injustice 3 1. Gotham Knights Arriving in 2022 and being developed by WB Games Montreal, is a unique superhero game set in Gotham. Unlike other superhero games that revolve around Gotham and its villains, Gotham Knights doesn’t star Batman. Gotham Knights Instead, the spotlight is put onto the Bat Family who pick up the slack after Batman is seemingly killed. The Bat Family consists of Nightwing, Red Hood, Batgirl, and Robin; each has their own abilities and unique skills. Apart from the interesting story, Gotham Knight is also an action RPG; players will be able to level up their characters as they progress through the game. And it wouldn’t be Gotham without a cast of interesting villains. Some of the villains to be in the game include Mr. Freeze and the Court of Owls. With so much time before the game is released, we wonder what other iconic Batman villains will rear their faces. confirmed 2. Guardians of the Galaxy In the last decade, the Guardians of the Galaxy have become known worldwide due to their inclusion in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). With their explosion in popularity comes toys, a TV show, and video games based on their hijinks. Their newest video game, , is set for release in October 2021 and is being developed by Eidos-Montreal and published by Square Enix. Square Enix has experience with superhero games, as they’ve recently published Marvel’s Avengers. Guardians of the Galaxy Although all of the Guardians will be prominent characters in the video game, only Star-Lord will be available as a playable character. As the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy, he tries to reel in his fellow teammates but also gets swept up with the craziness that follows them wherever they go. Star-Lord is equipped with his elemental weapons and his jet boots, and he has the other Guardians to help him out. Players will be able to call on Gamora, Rocket, Drax, and Groot to help them with attacks. With the incredible chemistry between the team, and the exciting prospect of adventuring in space, Guardians of the Galaxy is shaping up to be one of the best superhero games that are coming in 2021. 3. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Fans have been patiently waiting for a new video game from developer Rocksteady Studios, the same team that developed most of the Batman: Arkham series. Their last game was Batman: Arkham VR which was released in 2016, and since then, they’ve been developing this new game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Set in the same universe as their Batman: Arkham series, Suicide Squad sees Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang try to stop an alien invasion. In the trailer, we see them come face-to-face with Superman, who’s seemingly controlled by the villain, Brainiac. The game is set to release in 2022, and we have yet to see any gameplay from it. But if their previous games are anything to go by, the Suicide Squad is in good hands with Rocksteady. 4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have no shortage of good games, and it looks like they’ll add another good game to their name. Shredder’s Revenge will be a beat ‘em up game, reminiscent of games of the past, including previous TMNT games, and is set to release in . 2021 The game is being developed by Tribute Games and will be published by Dotemu, with the latter having experience with beat em ups. Just last year, Dotemu published and had a hand in developing Streets of Rage, another beat ‘em up. A 4-player game, Shredder’s Revenge lets friends play as their favored ninja turtles as they go against Shredder. According to Nintendo’s of the game, Shredder’s Revenge will also include popular villains Bebop, Rocksteady, and Krang. official page There’s not too many superhero beat ‘em up games today, so that alone makes this one of the best superhero games of this year. 5. Injustice 3 (Hopefully) So, there’s no confirmation that this DC fighting game exists, or that it’s even being worked on. However, this game may be coming out, and if it’s true, Injustice 3 is already one of the best superhero games to look out for. The Injustice series is developed by NetherRealm Studios, the same studio that develops the Mortal Kombat series. Recently, NetherRealm Studios that they have stopped supporting their current game, Mortal Kombat 11, and will instead focus on their next project. announced Since 2011, NetherRealm has had a pattern of releasing a Mortal Kombat game and then an Injustice game, so it’s very possible Injustice 3 is headed our way. The Injustice story takes place in an alternate universe where Superman has let go of his good-guy persona and has become a dictator of Earth, with other villains and heroes of the DC universe joining him. He is opposed by Batman who leads a rebellion against Superman’s regime. With this as the premise of the game, you can’t blame us for wanting another installment. These are the best superhero games that are releasing in 2021/2022, and we can’t wait to jump right into these universes. Although it might be a while for these games to release, we know they’ll be worth the wait.

5 Best Superhero Games Coming in 2021/2022

PlayStation Now, PlayStation’s subscription service, offers over for a monthly or annual price. With all the choices on the table, it might be difficult to choose a game to spend your time on. 800 games Sure you can go through the PlayStation exclusives such as The Last of Us, Uncharted, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and Ratchet and Clank, but after that, what’s next? Instead of ending your subscription, there are plenty of other titles to check out. Here are the best games on PS Now. 1. Dead Island There are so many zombie games out there, and a lot of them are great, but Dead Island still manages to leave a great, lasting impression on me even after all these years. After you pass out from partying on an island, you awaken to find out the island has been infested by zombies, and the only way to survive is to escape. What made the game so compelling was it’s open-world. You had your main missions that would progress the story, but you could take a break from that to complete some side missions. Along the way you meet colorful characters that are also trapped on the island, and they usually ask you to complete quests or they’re looking to sell you something. The game keeps things interesting by allowing you to level up your characters to learn new skills. The amount of different enemies also keeps things fresh as there are different types of zombies on the island. From zombies that sprint at you, to those that blow up when you get too close to them, there’s danger in every corner. 2. Tekken 7 A game that I’ve been playing for years, Tekken 7 still manages to be fun and engaging. I have put more hours into this title than any other fighting game. When it comes to creative characters, colorful stages, and cool combos, few do it better than Tekken. Although the story mode was subpar, the game is elevated by nearly everything else. The game offers 36 colorful and interesting characters. From a strange-looking ninja, to a father and son that can transform into demons, and even a literal panda, there’s a character for everyone to fall in love with. And those are just the characters that come in the base version, there are plenty more engaging DLC characters. You can spend your time fighting opponent after opponent in offline mode, or you can try your luck online. And if you want to spice things up, you can customize your characters in any way you see fit. Whether it’s the clothes, the hair, or their character panel, it’s entirely up to you. 3. The Batman: Arkham Series PS Now offers the first three Batman: Arkham titles: Batman: Arkham Asylum, City, and Origins. One of the best superhero video game franchises, Batman: Arkham is definitely a must-play for superhero and non-superhero fans. Using stealth, bat-gadgets, and your fists, every title sees Batman having to face an array of villains as he fights to keep order. Everyone from Two-Face to the Calendar Man make an appearance in the franchise. The first game, Batman: Arkham Asylum, sees Batman travel to the asylum after the Joker takes over. Its sequel, Batman: Arkham City, has the Caped Crusader fighting from inside a prison-city as he goes against the Joker and Dr. Hugo Strange. Finally in the prequel, Batman: Arkham Origins, Batman has to take down different assassins after Black Mask puts a bounty on him. When it comes to the best that the subscription service has to offer, the Batman games are some of the best PlayStation Now games. 4. Doom (2016) If you’re looking for a high-octane adventure, where the action never slows down, Doom is the perfect game. After demons take over a research facility on Mars, the Doom Slayer is unleashed to kill them all. Although the game presents itself as a simple shoot, kill, and move forward game (and it definitely is) it’s far from simple. Looking for collectibles, such as upgrades and data logs make running around each level more interesting as you wonder what secrets are hidden nearby. The gameplay is also more dynamic than it may seem. You have an arsenal of weapons such as your trusty pistol, a shotgun, and of course, the BFG. The problem arises when you run out ammo, so you have to assess when to use a specific gun and on which enemy. And it would be a crime to talk about Doom without mentioning the incredible Composed by Mick Gordon, the soundtrack Best Music/Sound Design at the 2016 Game Awards. All in all, Doom is easily one of the best games on PS Now. soundtrack. won 5. Hollow Knight I (like so many others) played a plethora of games throughout the pandemic, and I enjoyed most of them. But one that immediately sticks out to me is Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight. You play an unnamed knight who explores an underground kingdom as you fight to discover secrets about the kingdom and about yourself. A metroidvania game, Hollow Knight doesn’t hold your hand. They teach you the bare minimum of what you have to know to survive, and leave you to do the rest. You’ll have to fight bosses, gain abilities, and do a lot of exploring in order to progress the story. Along the way you’ll discover sections, monuments, and stories of the kingdom. Lurking all over the place are different types of insects and monsters that won’t hesitate to kill you. Sure, you’ll meet some friendly faces but those are few and far between. Throughout it all, you will wonder where the hours went as you explore every nook and cranny in the kingdom. I played over 30 hours of the game, and I knew I didn’t explore everything, but I thought I was relatively close. It turns out I wasn’t close at all, in fact, it was pretty laughable how much I missed. Hollow Knight is at the top of my list of games I’ve played during the pandemic, and it’s one of the best Playstation Now games. It should also be noted that we can expect the in the near future. Hollow Knight: Silksong Release When there’s 800 games to choose from, picking which ones to dive into can be difficult. Hopefully this list of the best games on PS Now gave you a bit of guidance on what to spend your time on. More in Gaming: 1. Final Fantasy XIV Reshade Guide 2.

5 Best Games on PS Now (April 2021)

I wondered about who is behind the often cute and creative online stickers we use and share on chat apps to others, these days, as a medium to express our feelings, and found someone who created a whole family of stickers with sometimes poignant stories behind them. Here’s Thibault Defrance, and his story about creating online stickers, meaningfully. Hello, Thibault! Thank you for speaking to us about your creative project making online stickers for sharing on chat apps. You’ve recently launched this online. HeadUP is a worldwide online storytelling platform and its inspired by the messaging platforms that contribute to building stories between people, daily. With my business partner Carlos, we decided to create our HeadUP characters that would accompany people in their daily life, through the messaging tools they use (such as Whatsapp, Gboard, LINE), and extend HeadUP beyond the limits of our online platform, itself. At the same time, we wanted to find an elegant way to thank many people who took part in our storytelling project with enthusiasm and helped it to grow to where it is now, so we decided to derive the sticker’s persona from someone we knew in real life, and these minute details makes them special for us. Users from all over the world would not need to know these people personally, yet they are able to enjoy the cuteness of our stickers. So, all these people that embody HeadUP are somehow also giving a soul to our small HeadUP ‘friends’. Additionally, these stickers are a way to contribute into the project by purchasing them to communicate about our storytelling project. The price of these stickers is set at $1 USD worldwide (across more than 140 countries). As our platform is free to use, the income we generate  can be used to reinvest into the development of many cool features. That’s why the stickers seem to each have a unique personality of their own! Yes, exactly! ‘ is our friend Thavikham, a ‘gentleman under armour’, he’s interested in fashion and always looks dapper, a tireless sports man who has a necessary sense of humour to face any challenge - apart from being a bit of a geek, he is always ready to wear a bow tie in all circumstances. ’ is derived from his family name Souphrasavath. Suprabot’ Suprabot’ is based on a friend called Nabil. When I asked him which object, fruit, food, thing he would like to be if he could be one thing, he told  me he would have liked to be a plane or a submarine. ‘Kamarine’ Based on his personality, and family name that contains “Mar” - meaning the sea in Spanish, we created a submarine character. The specificity of (the name of this sticker) is that he is an unsubmersible submarine, haha, and we created the emotions around this idea, including one sticker where he is with his son (his baby boy was recently born.) ‘ Kamarine ’ With Carlos, my cofounder, he became this luchador libre taking care of his newly born child, Oscar, and is represented in daily parental activities under the name of ’ . El Carlos‘ Carlos is a warrior in life and naturally we chose a luchador to emphasise his exceptional resilience, wearing a mask with 2 colours of the Venezuelan flag which is his country of origin. is Naoko, a person who was very important to me at the early stage of our project, we created the first draft of the HeadUP logo based on my directions, using her excellent Japanese naive drawing style, and always encouraged us all the way. Her face is squarish and similar to this toast bread, she seems to have a sort of supernatural power, being able to sleep on demand (and for which we created this special sticker.) ’Petit Pain’ She is soft, like the bread which represents her and knows how to enjoy simple moments and things.’ Did you have any strategy for which chat apps to launch those stickers in? At the beginning, not very much. Lots of people use WhatsApp worldwide so it became evident to make them available there. But while I was living in China, and Japan, I also used LINE quite a lot (it is popular in Asia), so I starting digging on how to create stickers on both chat messaging apps. I realised LINE has a LINE store but WhatsApp did not have a similar way to launch new stickers, so we would need to create an android app, which we did. And while developing the app, we also included Gboard as a 3rd option. Oh, was it an easy experience for you to launch in all 3 chat apps then? It took some time, especially since we had no experience with app development for instance. Aside from the technical aspects, there were a lot of steps to go through to comply with Google store policy, sync your in-app products listing with your app listing, work on the descriptions here and there, and details that would be appearing on the user interface, and Google Play store. Image formats are key too, each site accepts different sizes (the px requirements differ.) Protect your stickers with as much copyright as possible is my advice. As for challenges launching on LINE, we had to setup a Paypal account accepting Japanese yen as the currency, otherwise LINE would not deliver the payment after purchase - we needed to comply with their payment policy. The ’ character could not be released in the Indonesian market on LINE, due to the fact that the sticker is showing some naked areas of the body, so we had to resubmit the sticker for review, twice (the review was taking surprisingly long and it was also in the midst of Covid-19) and finally we had no other choice than to exclude the availability of this sticker character, in Indonesia. El Carlos‘ We also had potential copyright conflicts for 2 of the sticker’s emotions on LINE. One for our joystick character whose initial name was ’ , since our friend’s name was Naveen, and we combined it with Nintendo. This potential copyright infringement blocked us to release 2 of this sticker’s emotions - for our joystick character, we had an emotion that looked like the Ironman’s armour and had to remove the Ironman hand 🖐 that we originally used for our design. Naveentendo‘ For another character, , we created a dummy ‘wing chun’ (martial arts) character in reference to our friend, Ziad Zitouni. It was wearing a Batman costume (basically the dummy ‘wing chun’ training tree was covered by a black costume with the Batman ears), so we eventually turned it into a ninja costume, instead. ‘Jeet Zitundo’ Finally, for our WhatsApp launch, we initially launched the app under an app URL that was not simple enough and we were not visible at all on Google Play store’s organic searches and hardly visible when searching specifically for it, too. Thus, after we did the first launch we unpublished the app, and redid the entire setup again! There isn’t any other choice if you had to change the app’s URL. Now we have much more organic visibility but it delayed our stickers launch quite a bit. =) I was thinking that there would definitely be challenges with launching such a new product online in relatively unexplored territory - It seems that we are all governed by either data protocols or compliance these days to get our creative ideas out into reality. I wanted to ask about how you found the designers to make your ideas about turning the people you knew into concrete character images? So our designers are Indonesian and I approached them based on their portfolio. They never really did something like that before, so I asked them if they would like the idea and if it was challenging enough for them. I sent them a task related to each character, one or two pictures and keywords related to behaviour, hobbies, taste, specific things that each designer had to come up with in a draft. After review, I suggested a list of emotions for each sticker, and we were refining these together to capture the funny and useful expressions to create stickers that users would send to their friends while chatting. It is really well done! 👏  I seem to feel that I kinda know those friends of yours embodied in the stickers! I think when you mentioned your storytelling platform earlier, what resonated with me is how you felt strongly about this Japanese word, ‘Kokorozashi’. Loosely translated, it means ‘The Heart of a Warrior’. Do you have ’The Heart of a Warrior’? Thank you Rachel, happy to hear that you feel this way. =) This means we managed to make what we had in mind real by projecting it in a ‘tangible’ format (although, it is still in a digital medium!) There is always a story behind everything and these stickers somehow originate from some people’s stories and is made into another form of a story by creating a sort of artefacts for other people to create more stories. I feel it is a sort of fractal pattern / demultiplier effect to empower more and more stories, to articulate or connect stories that do not directly relate to each other (For instance, Carlos does not know you, yet he is part of your stories too, when you use El Carlos stickers) into a same continuum if you see what I mean! is a word that really fascinated me, a word I discovered while living in Japan and is at the root of this whole project - it was the trigger. Kokorozashi It is a word to approach with care in the sense that it makes you wonder about the power of the words you use everyday, and too often we verbalise ideas, concepts, feelings, without weighing the usage of those words, which is key in storytelling, and thus, also in conducting a respectable life on a daily basis. So, there is this rigor and discipline that apply to warriors, never giving up even when failing, being combative and resilient, fighting for what you believe or think with sincerity, having faith in an idea and every initiative taken for this, recognising mistakes, and adapting to the conditions of the “battlefield”, simply questioning yourself every moment - seeing yourself as your main obstacle in achieving something you believe in - without letting doubts dry your actions, not letting your guard down, and your fears dictating your actions, inspiring others when they are down (thus our platform’s name: HeadUP), to humbly help people to remember who they truly are, and remind them of this spark every one of us has in his/her eyes (for a time, we forget about it and just need a kind reminder), then... yes, maybe I try to have the heart of a warrior. An interesting fact is that my first name means ‘Brave Warrior’ (origin of ) , haha, maybe there is some connection here! At the same time, what does it mean for you to have the heart of a warrior? That would help me to answer. Theo bald I would like to add, attached with this idea of continuum, there is this same universal concept of Pars Pro Toto or Cosmos (the most beautiful arrangement) behind, and it is, I guess, why we chose the domain name to be HeadUP.space instead of a .com. == More about Thibault I am Thibault Defrance (and obviously I am not Italian with such a name), I am about to turn 32 and have been working and studying in 3 different continents (Latin America, Europe and Asia). I have been living in Asia for around 6 years: in China, Singapore, Japan and Malaysia. I first came to Singapore in 2014, after I graduated from Peking University I thought Singapore would be a great environment for me to keep growing up my skills, keep practising my manadarin and a place of opportunities for someone who graduated from a Master Degree in Energy & Finance. What I did not know is that 2 weeks after I landed in the Merlion country, the CEO of Total died and oil prices badly went down which impacted the industry I was trying to get a job in that much that I had no other choices than reorienting my career towards another sector that would require some analytical skills: Digital industry. It was not an easy reconversion though and a part time job in the RWS casino/ in the hostel where I was living helped me temporarily to preprare that transition. Surprisingly, my journey in this industry really started in Japan, in Akihabara (Tokyo) the geekest area of the city (where there is this gigantic SEGA store).Few great experiences in Digital later (both in Japan and Malaysia), I came back to Singapore for a new challenge and was brought backed here also for what I would call the "rationales of the heart". Data is useful but great decisions need to have passion, passions contain this ”dangerous-ness” due to their nature of always calling for another to replace the previous one, but they challenge you to (re)create an harmonious environment from the uncertainties that your decisions created - like a new necessary input to relaunch the calculation matrix. Am I approaching the topic of Machine Learning now at some point... looks like . yes Well, this is the segment I am currently exploring (and would like to continue to do so) in the industry I am in. Additionally to this, I wrote a book (it is in French though but still looking for someone to help translating it in English) available on Amzon under the sweet name of and I co-founded with my friend Juan Carlos Tabares. Les Vibrations du Monde, HeadUP I started learning Fencing while in the university in China, I felt in love with it. It is like a philosophy of life made sport! And of course, as every boy from the North of France where I grew up, I love football, for the values of excelling oneself it implies, the generosity in the effort it requires, the notion of respect towards your opponent it carries and the need of playing collectively, strategically, and thinking holistically in order to succeed. Again, there is this idea of Pars pro toto.
