This article contains spoilers for Destiny 2: The Final Shape. Destiny 2‘s first saga has come to a close withThe Final Shapeexpansion. Though Echoes and future Episodes promise to continue the game’s narrative, the campaign inThe Final Shapeessentially served as the franchise’sAvengers: Endgame, wrapping up a decade-long intrigue. And while the campaign forThe Final Shapehas proven itself great, I can’t shake the feeling that Bungie missed an opportunity to leave an even more significant impact than it did....
Genshin Impact I’m going to be honest with you: this wasn’t even a close vote. While mobile platforms saw a large variety of great games throughout 2020, there was just no topping the worldwide phenomenon that isGenshin Impact.

Welcome back, Sei To this day, I’m still surprised with the way how the originalGundam Build Fightersseries turned out. When the project was announced in 2013, my gut feeling told me it was going to be a disaster. While I didn’t mind its premise about people using model kits to fight each other, my concern was with the director since he worked onNo. 6, one of Bones’ weaker titles. After I watched the anime,Build Fightersbecame my favorite mecha series of2014since it felt like a mix betweenCustom Robo,Yu-Gi-Oh!...
