Slay the Spire Review

Slay the Spire is one of those games where I found myself sitting alone at my desk just giggling as I played. Not because it’s exceptionally funny – though its well-written encounters can be that – but because some combo of cards that had chanced its way into my hand would just go off, and the result was an absolute thrill. I couldn’t help but laugh because, win or lose, that combo may never show up again. But boy, was it a blast in the moment.

Here’s a genre mix you probably haven’t seen before: Slay the Spire is a deckbuilding roguelike dungeon crawler. Don’t mistake it for a deckbuilding game like Hearthstone or Magic: The Gathering; instead, you pick one of three varied but equally exciting characters with unique card pools and start with a super basic deck. As you work your way up the Spire, you’ll fight increasingly difficult monsters to acquire a randomized selection of new cards that slowly build your deck into something better.

Resident Evil 2: The Story So Far

By the time Leon and Claire reach Raccoon City at the start of Resident Evil 2, the small Midwestern town is already overrun with zombies.

If you’re jumping into the series for the first time with the Resident Evil 2 remake, you might be wondering how things got to this point. Resident Evil 2 is still an acceptable place to jump into the series – featuring a new cast separate from the first game and introducing several key figures for the first time – but if you’re looking to really dig into the story of the series without playing any of the remake’s chronological predecessors (Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero specifically), then we’ve got you covered.

Follow along for a quick (and very, very condensed) synopsis of the Resident Evil story up to the Resident Evil 2 remake.

The Rock’s Fast & Furious Spin-Off Adds WWE’s Roman Reigns

Even in Hobbs & Shaw, the Fast & Furious spin-off starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason Statham, the word “family” seems to be what matters most. As he tends to do, Johnson has been documenting the process of filming the movie on Instagram and used the social media tool to reveal some news that should be exciting to WWE fans.

The actor’s real-life cousin, WWE superstar Roman Reigns, has been cast to play his brother in the movie. “Good times droppin’ sweat and spillin’ blood with my family, Roman Reigns who’ll be playing my brother in our [Fast & Furious universe],” Johnson wrote. “I’m very proud of his focus, effort and authentic performance in our movie for his very first time on film. I’m also very grateful to spend this quality time with my cousin here in the islands as he takes life one day at a time to recover from leukemia.”

Reigns revealed back in October that he was stepping away from WWE to battle leukemia for the second time in his life. “My real name is Joe, and I’ve been living with leukemia for 11 years,” he said while relinquishing the WWE Universal Championship. “And unfortunately, it’s back. And because the leukemia is back, I cannot fulfill my that role. I can’t be that fighting champion. And I’m going to have to relinquish the Universal Championship.”

While there is no announced timetable for a possible return, he’s clearly keeping busy with some exciting scenes in Hobbs and Shaw, while he also undergoes treatment. The photos posted by Johnson show the two celebrating their heritage by wearing Samoan garb while unleashing some serious brutality on those around them.

Still, even Johnson is anxious for the day Reigns is able to return to WWE. “Can’t wait to see the ‘Big Dog’ return back to the ring–his positive & focused mindset to return is straight up next level,” the actor wrote.

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is in theaters on August 2. And for all of your WWE needs, make sure to check out our Royal Rumble coverage, from predictions for every match to everyone set to participate in the massive battle royales.

Cross-Play Confirmed For Advance Wars-Like Wargroove, Except On PS4

Wargroove looks to be an homage to classic tactics games like Advance Wars, with the added twist of an online multiplayer element. Developer Chucklefish announced that you can play against your friends cross-platform, but one console is conspicuously missing from the line-up.

In a tweet, the studio said you can play across PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One, and an accompanying short video clip shows the cross-play functionality. Notably absent is PlayStation 4, which is also receiving the game alongside the others on February 1.

This is a familiar sight. Sony has counted itself out from cross-play for a long time, only recently reversing course for the mega-hit Fortnite. Even then it was only after Microsoft and Nintendo made a point of teasing Sony about it together. Still, this was posed as a beta to test the functionality, and Sony is still only planning to allow other games on a case-by-case basis. Rocket League, long requested for cross-play, just recently became the second game to use the functionality.

Sometimes your friends aren’t in the same faction as you, and that’s okay!

Given all that, it’s unsurprising that Wargroove isn’t included, but Chucklefish is still not-too-subtly pointing it out. Though it’s targeting several platforms for simultaneous release, it was given a prime spot on Nintendo’s “Nindies” presentation earlier this week, where the release date of February 1 was announced.

Anthem VIP Demo Servers Are Having Issues; Other EA Games Now Impacted

The VIP demo for Anthem is now officially live, but unfortunately it hasn’t been a very smooth launch. Players have already seen messages that servers are full or been stuck on the title screen with extensive loading times, while others have been kicked out of the demo entirely with Origin momentarily going down.

“We’re adding more server capacity to the [Anthem] demo right now. Hang tight while we work to get everyone into the game,” EA Help tweeted out this morning. That tweet was followed with another, this time addressing the long loading times, about an hour later. “We’re looking into the infinite loading issue with the [Anthem] demo. In the meantime, try relaunching the game and rejoining your mission to see if that helps you,” EA Help wrote.

BioWare GM Casey Hudson has clarified that servers aren’t actually full, tweeting “Turns out to not be a server capacity issue. Seems to be a different issue that didn’t come up in previous scale testing.” Hudson has confirmed that work is being done to address the issue.

On top of all of this, Origin has temporarily gone down for some players–including for a few of us here at GameSpot–although the connection seems to be slowly coming back. It’s possible EA’s servers are experiencing a larger influx of players trying to get into the VIP demo than the company originally planned for. Despite this weekend’s demo being marketed as an exclusive experience for only those who pre-order Anthem or subscribe to EA or Origin Access, every person who unlocked the demo received friend codes they could use to invite three additional people to also participate.

Whatever the issue, the problem has seemingly extended to other games as well. EA has confirmed FIFA is “experiencing connectivity issues across all platforms” and we’ve seen examples of this on the Xbox One version of Battlefield V too. According to another EA tweet, there’s widespread “login issues” across all of the company’s games and services at the moment.

Regardless, the VIP demo continues until Sunday, January 27 at 6PM PT / 9PM ET, which is January 28 at 2AM in the UK. If you do manage to get into the VIP demo, you’ll unlock a cool-looking, exclusive vinyl that you can apply to your Javelins in the main game. If you can’t manage to make it into this demo, there is another one scheduled for next weekend that will begin on February 1 at 9AM PT / 12PM ET / 5PM UK. This second demo is open to everyone, but playing it won’t unlock anything special for the main game.

We had the chance to play Anthem prior to the VIP demo, if you’re curious as to how the game actually plays.

Anthem releases on February 22 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. You can play a week early on Xbox One or PC if you’re an EA or Origin Access subscriber.

Royal Rumble: 10 Creative Ways WWE Superstars Stayed In The Match

The first major WWE event of the year is coming to the WWE Network and PPV on Sunday, January 27. The Royal Rumble will be held at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, and the events will begin at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT, with a Kickoff Show starting two hours prior. It’s going to be a jam-packed evening, with two Royal Rumble matches happening at the show.

To be eliminated from the annual WWE Royal Rumble, a wrestler must meet the following conditions: he must exit the ring over the top rope, and have both feet touch the outside floor. The wrestler must then leave ringside immediately.

But where most wrestlers see an entrenched rule to obey, other wrestlers see a loophole to exploit; it’s a classic example of “letter of the law” vs. “spirit of the law.” Does hopping around the ring on one foot, for example, save one from elimination? These sorts of creative strategies have led to some of the Rumble’s funniest, most memorable moments. And in many cases, the wrestlers must engage in heroic athleticism to make them possible.

Here 10 creative ways that WWE wrestlers have stayed in the Royal Rumble. If you liked this gallery, check out our predictions for this year’s Royal Rumble, and every confirmed entrant for the men’s and women’s Rumble. The latest WWE PPV is set to air live on Sunday, January 27, 2019. And check in with us on Sunday; we’ll be watching and reviewing the PPV live.
