For some (myself included) that's likely going to be enough, but others looking for more innovation and playability may find Star Wars Outlaws lacking.

If you want to set up your own website (and get a discount while doing it), hit this link for more info: http://www.squarespace.com/skillup -- Zenless Zone Zero is the latest from Mihoyo, the studio and publisher that re-wrote the gacha game rule book in ways that the rest of the industry is trying to re-create. We've never reviewed a Mihoyo game here in the channel, and after spending 40 hours with ZZZ Austin can confirm that Mihoyo have set an incredibly high bar when it comes to presentation, combat and content, and almost all of that is accessible without having to spend a dime. Still, that gacha stuff is always tugging at you, gently inviting you to spend on things that will aleviate the grind. ZZZ is a solid and worthwhile game, but that gacha business model carries all sorts of question marks about the future, so many that anyone considering jumping into ZZZ should do so with caution.

Elden Ring review: youtu.be/gfcJv3oZNccI spent 2 days playing The Final Shape - heres what I thoughtSkill Up2024-05-28 | Thank you Ridge for sponsoring this video. Get up to 40% off during their Father's Day promo. Ends June 15. ridge.com/SKILLUP -- 'Destiny 2: The Final Shape' promises to be the winner-takes-all conclusion to a 10 year saga. After having spent two days playing it, I'm confident that some of its aspects (namely The Pale Heart, the new Prismatic subclass and the new exotics I got to try) will absolutely deliver what fans are hoping for. Other aspects such as story and mission design are still unknown quantities as you really need to experience these things in totality before judging them. For me, though, I'm rather pre-occupied with an unanswerable question: what comes next?
Note: I was invited by Bungie to this event. They offered to cover my flights and accommodation expenses but I declined, paying my own way so as to ensure truly independent coverage.

-- This week we're joined by two sets of guests. The first is Dom Mathews, Studio Head at Ninja Theory. They're set to launch Hellblade 2 this coming week, but much of the discussion around the game has been centred on Xbox's studio strategy and what 'success' now looks like for smaller games like Hellblade.
In addition we were joined by Ryan and Joe from Airship Syndicate. Wayfinders hit the rocks when it launched into early access, which cooincided with publisher Digital Extremes shuttering their entire publishing division. Airship are now pivoting Wayfinder to be an offline (peer to peer coop) game with no microtransactions, so we chatted with them about the journey to that decision.

Visit bit.ly/44agXgY for your mobile gaming upgrade. -- Stellar Blade takes its love of Nier Automata too far, cribbing story beats, tone, themes, settings and scenarios in a way that stifles any chance for Stellar Blade to develop its own unique identity.

Stellar Blade is a good game - it's just a shame it actively puts itself in the shadow of a better one.

- Jake Baldino (aka the Before You Buy Guy) is pretty much the most watched reviewer on YouTube across both Gameranx and his personal channel (youtube.com/c/JakeBaldino). If you're obsessed with Delorians, The Mummy and Pizza you can discuss that stuff with him directly over on Twitter: @JakeBaldino

- Skill Up used to work at McDonalds but he got fired for skimming too many chicken nuggets. He says he regrets it since he hasn't had a better job since. -- Listen to the Friends Per Second Podcast on your favourite podcast platform: https://linktr.ee/friendspersecond
