DESTINY 2 THE FINAL SHAPE BRINGS THE FEELS THAT NEW STAR WARS SHOOTER IS FUN AND MORE OF THE WEEK'S GAMING TAKES

This week, Destiny 2 The Final Shape finally arrived, bringing an end to a storyline the series has been telling ever since it launched.

We've got thoughts on how successful the campaign is at managing such a massive task.

Also, let us tell you about that new Star Wars shooter and encourage you to play Octopath Traveler II now that it's on Game Pass.

That and more awaits.

Star Wars Hunters: A Fun New Shooter

A new Star Wars game launched yesterday, and it's pretty fun.

Odds are, however, that you didn't know that a new Star Wars game launched yesterday because Star Wars Hunters, an Overwatch-like F2P shooter, is only available on mobile devices and the Nintendo Switch.

That's a shame because Hunters is a fun, if a bit simple and messy, Star Wars shooter that I bet a lot of people would enjoy.

Play Octopath Traveler II on Game Pass

In an age when so many new games are trying to recapture the greatness of old classics, it's hard to find the ones that actually live up to their inspirations.

For RPG enjoyers, it's often about finding something as good as the '90s era of Square Enix's Final Fantasy series.

However, in that case, the best imitation of those classics comes from none other than Square Enix itself in the form of the Octopath Traveler games.

Now, with Octopath Traveler II on Xbox Game Pass, subscribers have no excuse not to play one of the best retro-inspired RPGs out there.

Say Goodbye to Destiny 2's Most Relaxing Activity

It's messed up that every year Destiny 2 rips all of its seasonal content out of the game, never to be seen again.

Though time has certainly numbed the pain of the removals, it still stings every year, especially when some of the stuff in Destiny 2's seasons winds up being the most impactful.

Sometimes huge narrative beats are delivered through the seasonal pipeline, and other times it just gives you a fun game mode or activity.

This is a blog about one such feature.

Someone is Finally Making the SSX Tricky Successor

I don't think I will ever get over the death of SSX.

While EA's extreme snowboarding series isn't officially in the ground, there hasn't been an entry since 2012.

Yet the franchise still looms large in many gamers' minds, including mine.

That is especially true of 2001's SSX Tricky, an arcadey snowboarding game dripping with style that has never been matched, even though many have tried and failed.

However, the demo for new indie game Tricky Madness has given me hope that maybe, just maybe, somebody can recapture SSX's greatness.

Destiny 2 The Final Shape's Campaign

There is something about returning to many of Destiny's previous locations, including the very first areas of the original game, that makes The Final Shape reek of high school.

A lot has changed about the series in the ten years since our ghost first found us just outside of Old Russia.

Moreover, running down the same halls I once traipsed with the old gang feels like a high school reunion of sorts.

When I was first here, I felt so small, but coming back to my old haunts all these years later as a bigger and better version of myself has revealed just how much I've grown in the years since.

Still Wishing for an Offline Mode in Destiny

As I sit here on June 6, 2024, at 11:45 am, two days after The Final Shape launched, Destiny's last expansion in the story arc, it clumsily started more than a decade ago, I am notably not blasting aliens nor taking in sweeping sci-fi vistas.

I am not playing at all.
