Games We Are Thankful For In 2020

While not the most glaring criticism to address, or one that offers any sort of long-term problem, it's still admittedly a pain to find that the PC version of the game is lacking in the ability to custom map buttons to a player's controller of choice. Made even more annoying when you factor in Genshin Impact instead has a peculiar interpretation of button layout via a strange decision to swap the generally agreed-upon use of A and B being that of confirm and cancel respectively. What's worse is that for those playing with a controller, the game in its current state requires you to manually change input settings each and every time you boot it up.

While there have been plenty of excellent releases this year, it’s still Persona 5: Royal that I’m most thankful for. The changes and additions it made to an already-awesome SLG Game Missions all felt natural, as if they were meant to be there all along. Getting to know Kasumi and Maruki was just as interesting as developing friendships with the other characters. The combat was wonderfully spiced-up and the extra endings let me play out a couple of "what-if" scenarios that’d been bouncing around in my head ever since I finished the original in 2017. It also helped that this came during a big move for me, so it was nice to have a good mix of old and new to help take my mind off it and ease the transition. There may be better games out there, but Persona 5: Royal is hands-down my highlight of 2020 thus far.


The best teammates for Diona in this composition are the usual suspects: Ganyu or Ayaka if you have them, and Kaeya , Rosaria , or Chongyun if you don’t. Remember that you can swap to these damage characters immediately after using Diona’s Skill in order to pass over the Elemental Particles and help charge your DPS’ Burst. Shenhe can also be a fun character to use alongside Diona if you want Diona’s abilities to do significant damage even as a supp


Players in love with their Genshin Impact gameplay know switcheroos between units are essential to keep combat momentum while also ensuring their rotations are well-recharged. However, players worrying about consistent reactions and producing subpar damage can easily bypass these woes with one factor: bring a Hydro character with them. Their presence will almost always add a dynamic twist to the battlefield courtesy of their compatibility with quite a lot of other Elements - making their attacks more potent due to consistent Reactions (Vaporize with Pyro, Hyperbloom and Burgeon with Dendro, Freeze with Cryo, Electro-Charged with Elect


Updated on January 2, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah: With each Element in Genshin Impact, the Traveler’s mechanics change and they operate differently on the battlefield. That also affects their role during combat, giving each Element its own build. After acquiring many new Elements, the Traveler finally gets their hands on the Pyro Element. Of course, a new Element means a new Pyro Traveler build in Genshin Impact , which means more artifacts and weapons to work with. This guide will be updated to include the best Pyro Traveler build in Genshin Impa


Duplicates give room for more Wishes: When you pull a duplicate of a 4-Star or even a 5-Star Character, you’re granted not just their Constellation Material but also Masterless Starglitter you can save to redeem for an Event W

There's no greater a highlight than a moment around fifteen-ish hours into wandering the world. Having already established the omnipresent "the world is one big environmental puzzle" motif at the heart of Genshin Impact and successfully completing a near two kilometre trek to a new region, to activate another beacon filling in more of the map, only to spot one of thousands of optional collectibles atop an incline of rocks; a few seconds of climbing later and off in the distance, another beacon. A subtle indicator -- of which the game does a great job at allowing players to organically discover parts for themselves -- that hinted not only towards another environmental conundrum, but also of what may lie beyond. Even then: what other little moments will distract me. It's a truly great, out-of-the-blue moment but another point in Genshin Impact's favor. How, indeed like Breath of the Wild before it, the journey becomes as pivotal and as fulfilling as the destination. Ultimately, the marvel of seeing yet another perspective on the vast world before you. Before long, you're ready to plot another course and begin that journey all over again.


Thankfully, there is a pity system in place that makes getting 4-star and 5-star items in Genshin Impact slightly easier, though some players may be confused about certain aspects of this mechanic. For those fans that are looking to have these confusions alleviated, this guide has full details on Genshin Impact 's pity syst


The Epitomized Path mechanic was introduced to combat this problem. Players choose their "path," or the weapon they want to pull for. If they obtain a different five-star weapon (the other promotional featured weapon or a Standard weapon), they'll earn a Fate Point. Then, the next time they pull the limited five-star weapon, the Fate Point will be consumed and the weapon they charted their path for is guaranteed to be
