To say Destiny 2 had a bad 2025 is quite the understatement, like saying Mint Retrograde and the Praxic Blade are just alright. This year was nothing short of a disaster for Bungie's flagship title, even with Renegades showing signs of a recovery. 2026 will be a decisive year for Bungie, a studio whose entire 2025 was a make-or-break moment. The developer is under new direction and Marathon is finally releasing. Just keeping Destiny 2 alive isn't the bar to aim for in 2026, especially given how much it struggled to do so with The Edge of Fate . There's a lot I'd love to see change inside the game come 2026. But a positive future for Destiny 2 has to fix the frayed relationship between jaded players and an embattled developer—at the risk of breeding apathy and alienating even more of its fanbase. Less dependence on the Portal It's simpler, but arguably to a fault. Screenshot by Destructoid The Portal was The Edge of Fate 's main way of engaging wit...

After 17 long years, I have finally gotten around to trying Mass Effect . For the entirety of my childhood and well into my teenage and later years, I had heard about this supposedly great game made by a once-amazing studio, but never ventured to play it for literally no reason. But now, having played the first game for a few hours, I've come to realize my mistake and how much of a fool I was for sleeping on what could very well be my favorite RPG yet. Those of you who have visited the site before and read up on my ramblings should know by now how much I love RPGs. I constantly highlight all the good and bad things about each individual RPG I come across, analyzing them from head to toe and theorizing about what could've been done better. This genre is thus a special one to me, one that I continue to scrutinize even outside of work, searching for that one game to rule them all. I don't usually like xenos in games like this, but Mass Effect 's ones are so good I ch...

ARC Raiders is chock-full of all sorts of items, many of which are necessary for progression. Lately, a new form of loot was added, Exodus loot , available only in a limited number of areas. The most important of these are of course the Exodus Modules , and the Ion Sputter is just one of many ways of obtaining them. So, here's where you can find this valuable item.

The Holiday season is upon us, with the happiest day of the year almost at our doorstep. Everyone is at home, with their loved ones, enjoying the jingling bells, and likely hanging around Steam. But Steam isn't hanging around us, as it appears the Christmas spirit has brought it down. On Christmas Eve, i.e. tonight, Steam seems to be buckling, either under the weight of all the people using their free time to play some games, or those who are eager to purchase Christmas presents just in time for the big day. The Steam Winter Sale is currently ongoing, after all, so it was only a matter of time before a great influx of eager buyers brought the platform to its knees. It's just one of those days. Image via Steam According to Steam Status , every segment of Steam is currently offline or “unknown,” whatever that may mean. For most people, the chat seems to be in order, but the store itself and some other Steam services have been going off sporadically during the entire night...
