“ARCADE IS DEAD,” developer Housemarque abruptly decreed in all caps on its blog shortly after Matterfall’s release in 2017. This candid manifesto explained how the team saw no future developing the arcadey games it had specialized in for over two decades and was moving onto different genres. Returnal was the result of this shift in focus, taking the aesthetics and chaos inherent to Housemarque’s house style and throwing it all into a roguelike third-person shooter. It was a cult hit that saw critical acclaim, but Saros, Returnal’s spiritual sequel, seems to rebuke that glorious foundation by shunning the very genre with which Housemarque had just found great success. By paring back its roguelike elements in an effort to broaden its appeal, Saros becomes a discordant game that seems ambivalent towards what came before it. Given its suite of levels that cycle in various threats, randomized weapons, resources, and perks, Saros is technically a roguelike, even if Housemarque talks around genre specifics. When speaking to Game Informer, art director Simone Silvestri said labels were "ephemeral" and it was “hard for [him] to categorize Saros” because Housemarque “didn't set out to be in a genre or defy a genre.” Creative director Gregory Louden was similarly elusive in that same interview, while admitting it had “rogue elements.” Continue Reading at GameSpot Source: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/saros-doesnt-like-being-a-roguelike-so-why-is-it-one/1100-6539868/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f

After The Hobbit, Reality Fracture is the penultimate mainline set for 2026 before Star Trek drops in November. It's the culmination of what the in-universe story has been building to since Phyrexia: All Will Be One that sees longtime hero Jace Beleren take on a more villainous role. In a sort of What If? scenario, Jace creates the Echoverse, an alternate reality that sees iconic other characters, locations, and cards shift. This will be done through changing mechanics, but popular characters like Chandra will have their colors swapped to their opposite, like changing her from a red to a blue mage. Story details are still relatively mum, but fans can expect another big showdown among their favorite Planeswalkers when it's all said and done. Reality Fracture launches October 2, and the product lineup is available to preorder now. You can reserve the new Commander deck, Play booster box, and more. At the time of writing, you can reserve these cards at Amazon and Best Buy. But this isn't the only batch of new cards getting an October release. On that same date, five preconstructed Foundations Commander decks will also become available. There's a deck for one of each of the five colors of mana and they're designed to be very beginner friendly. These are available to preorder at Amazon for $30 each. I've broken each product available below, including the Foundations Commander decks. Play Booster Box (30 Packs) $164.70 | Releases October 2 Cracking packs is the quintessential way to expand your Magic card collection. With a Play Booster box, you'll get 30 packs.
