Though there are many ways to enjoy Madden 21, none come close to Madden Ultimate Team (MUT). Madden feels completely different when you assemble your elite team out of the players you open from packs. The whole experience adds a bit of squad engineering to the formula, meaning you’ll have a lot more room to showcase your game knowledge. With time, you’ll be able to work toward assembling your dream team and improve as a player in the process.

Pokémon Sword and Shield received their first update of 2021 earlier today. Patch 1.3.2 is short and sweet, introducing a handful of fixes to the games. The first issue that was fixed was happening to players battling over online or local play. For some players, icons were not appearing during these battles. Alongside this fix, there’s a vague line saying that “several issues” were remedied to “improve gameplay experience” for players.

League of Legends’ Sentinels of Light narrative event was the highly anticipated follow-up of last year’s Spirit Blossom event, featuring Riot Games taking a big step in lore progression with the development of the Ruination.  Riot established the Ruination in early 2021 as the staple event of League for a large portion of the year. From champion releases to game modes and map overhauls, the Ruination stood out as one of the first major leaps into lore progression since the dive into Bilgewater with the Burning Tides event in 2015.

After learning the basics of combat and exploration in New World, the game throws you into a dynamic and rich world where one of the foundational facets is crafting. Go to any settlement and you’ll see players surrounding the crafting stalls in the town center, turning resources into goods or other materials. One of the most important resources for making weapons, armor, and other vital goods is iron. Iron is smelted from iron ores, which can be found by harvesting iron ore veins with a pickaxe.

When traveling through the Hisui region in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, players will be tasked with following hints and locating each of the 28 variations of Unown as part of an overarching event separate from the main story and smaller sidequests.  This is no easy task, as it will require you to translate the hints using the Unown Alphabet while simultaneously searching far and wide for the hidden Symbol Pokémon. In order to complete Legends: Arceus, you will need to find and add each letter-styled Pokemon to your collection.

The Scrapper is a subclass of Lost Ark‘s Martial Artists. Similar to its other specializations, it’s focused on melee combat and wields a giant gauntlet to smash her foes. The class’ particularity is her “inverse forms of attacks,” which makes it more challenging to master than other Martial Artist specializations for some players. She has various buffs and oscillates between Shock and Stamina skills to perform combos. As such, she’s challenging to play efficiently at first, but is rewarding when mastered.

The process of unlocking characters’ full potential in Genshin Impact is a lengthy one that requires time, patience, and luck. One such aspect that can drastically improve any character’s performance but requires massive luck to fully attain is Constellations. Constellations are obtained when you roll a duplicate of a character you have already previously gotten while wishing. Because the chance of rolling characters in Genshin Impact is relatively low, it is usually difficult to fully unlock any character’s Constellations.

Contrary to belief, VALORANT isn’t all about fragging. The economy is one of the most important aspects of the game, dictating how and when you (and your teammates) can buy weapons, abilities, and armor. Learning the economy is fundamental to understanding VALORANT. It’s the bread and butter of the tactical shooter, attributing to each and every round. It can often be the difference between winning and losing. Here’s a beginning guide to getting to grips with the economy.
