Practical Starter Tips for The Adventures of Elliot: Millennium Tales

Kotaku’s spoiler-light tips guide for The Adventures of Elliot: Millennium Tales covers practical early-game advice: turn down chatter in partner dialogue, upgrade and optimally use Magicite, try different weapons (not just the sword), you don’t have to fight every enemy, complete sidequests early for valuable rewards, revisit towns and NPCs if you’re stuck, tackle the Water Temple in the Age of Reconstruction for key items, and remember there are multiple endings—don’t stress about missing them as you explore the adventure.

Control Resonant Expands Remedy’s Weird World Into a City‑Scale Hack‑and‑Slash

Control Resonant Expands Remedy’s Weird World Into a City‑Scale Hack‑and‑Slash

Remedy’s Control Resonant shifts from the eerie Oldest House to a fractured, Hiss-haunted Manhattan and pivots from Control’s shooter roots to a third‑person hack‑and‑slash action RPG starring Dylan Faden. The Aberrant weapon lets him switch forms (including a Bloodborne‑like saw cleaver and a scythe), with early gameplay emphasizing fluid combos, new powers, and expanding skill trees, all while the Remedy Connected Universe hints at bigger mysteries (Polaris, the Former). The preview praises the combat feel and the game’s confident world‑building, suggesting Resonant could be a bold, more conventional entry that still preserves its signature weirdness.

Zelda’s Quiet Revolution: How a Console Classic Defined a Genre

Forty years after its debut, The Legend of Zelda didn’t invent a genre but crystallized it by bringing the depth and challenge of computer RPGs to consoles through streamlined action-adventure gameplay. Drawing on predecessors like Druaga, Hydlide, Xanadu, Perseus, and Dragon Quest, Zelda popularized dungeon-based exploration and item-driven progression, spawning a wave of “Zelda-like” games and shaping the broader understanding of action RPGs and JRPG influence. Its influence persists in modern open-world entries and a continuing expansion of the series through spin-offs and adaptations, cementing Zelda’s enduring impact on gaming.”,
