Back in the Forsaken days, Edge Transit was a Destiny 2 meme—a decidedly mid grenade launcher that just would not stop dropping from engrams. Today, Bungie is having the last laugh, because Into the Light’s reissued Edge Transit is an absolute monster. Right now, it’s basically tied with Cataphract GL3 as the best heavy grenade…

Once upon a time, The Recluse was the best primary weapon in Destiny 2. Its signature perk, Master of Arms, was so powerful that it became one of the main reasons weapon sunsetting happened back in the Beyond Light days. It was an iconic part of the Forsaken era, and thus an obvious choice for…

The highlight of Destiny 2’s Into the Light update is the Brave Arsenal—12 classic weapons reprised and refreshed to thrive in today’s sandbox. Hammerhead is one of them, a void machine gun that first arrived during Season of the Forge. At the time it was an add-clear monster, but its original set of perks would…

I can’t believe I’m saying it, but Bungie has done it again. After a turbulent year—one of delays, layoffs and assorted corporate grumbling—Bungie released the free Into the Light update for Destiny 2 and the players… they’re actually happy.

Destiny 2’s free Into the Light update has launched with six of the 12 classic weapons that are being reissued with new perks for this release. But not all iconic weapons are created equal.

We’re just over three weeks removed from the launch of smash hit roguelike Balatro, and I’ve already clocked over 45 hours in the game. I’m in deep—just last night I hit a 350 million point hand, and it’s still not enough. Others, too, are clearly smitten with the deckbuilder. Scores and strategies are still regularly…

Yes, sure, there are a bunch of new features dropping in today’s major update for Guild Wars 2’s Secrets of the Obscure expansion. New story chapters continue the wayfinder’s campaign into Inner Nayos—home of the demonic kryptis. A new section of that map will be available to explore, with new events to complete. A new…

Slay the Spire was awarded 92% in our review, and has been a fixture of our annual Top 100 ever since its release back in 2019. Five years later, it still holds an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam. It is, without question, a classic—the game that launched the modern obsession with deckbuilding. I’ve always felt…
