CAPCOM's Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, NetEase's Marvel Rivals beta, and Final Fantasy XIV Online are among the latest games to support NVIDIA DLSS. Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess was released last week, complete with NVIDIA DLSS 3 Frame Generation and Reflex support, which deliver a high framerate experience with limited input delay, something I did highlight in my review.

With the recent release Final Fantasy 14’s new expansion comes the inevitable thirsting over a new character players encounter. For Dawntrail, that character in question is a bit of a surprise. Yes Dawntrail is full of cat-like female Hrothgar, includi...
Unless you’ve been living under a rock or swore off gaming for the summer (understandable), you’re probably either playing Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC or Final Fantasy XIV’s new Dawntrail expansion, and we’ve got tons of tips for both. If yo...

So far, no game project borne out of this partnership made it […]
