Ever wondered where all those robots you’re battling come from? It all started with Cyberstan. The conflict with Cyberstan isn’t just one war – it’s a long, ongoing fight that explains the entire war against the robots. It’s a struggle for control and beliefs, and a result of rebelling against Super Earth. This history gives meaning to your fight for managed democracy, making every robot you destroy a part of the galaxy’s story.
The new WWE 2K game is expected to have a huge number of playable characters, and 2K has confirmed that Nick Aldis and Adam Pearce, who manage Friday Night SmackDown and Monday Night RAW respectively, will both be included as characters you can play as.
Players familiar with recent PC releases of PH3 will find this version very comfortable. For newcomers, Ys X: Proud Nordics on PC offers several improvements over the console versions. These include enhanced visuals with HDR support, customizable controls (including mouse and keyboard), and various display options like ultrawide and 16:10 support. You’ll also find quality-of-life features like adjustable autosave intervals, the ability to skip logos for faster loading, direct save loading from Steam, independent movie volume control, customizable button prompts, gamepad deadzone settings, and an asset caching feature.
Okay, so before I get into what’s different in the Western release, let me quickly talk about how much better Ys X: Nordics looked and played compared to previous games. It was clearly made with the Switch in mind from the start, unlike some of the older ports – those felt like they were trying to run on more powerful consoles. Honestly, after the Ys VIII and IX ports which weren’t great visually, Nordics was a huge step up and the best-looking, smoothest-running modern Ys game on the Switch. It aimed for 30 frames per second, and while it wasn’t super sharp, it was a solid experience whether you were playing on your TV or in handheld mode.
In my review, I found Ys X to be a bit uneven, but overall enjoyable. The combat is fantastic – a real standout, and a refreshing change from previous Ys games, particularly those starting with Ys Seven. The main character, Karja, is captivating and likable. The strong connection she develops with Adol, as ‘Shield Siblings,’ is a key part of what makes the game special.
You can only start Ys X: Proud Nordics with a completed save file from Ys X: Nordics. Progress from your current game or story completion in Ys X: Nordics won’t transfer over. However, you can carry some things over to enjoy a New Game Plus experience. Details on what transfers are listed below.
The Ys X: Nordics DLC included in the base release of Ys X: Proud Nordics (for free) is as follows:
Everyone’s excited about a new scope, from regular players to pros like Zlaner, and for good reason! The 10x zoom scope isn’t just another add-on – it completely changes how you handle long-distance combat. If you’ve ever wanted both binoculars for spotting and a powerful sniper scope, this is it. It lets you scout and snipe seamlessly in one go.
One of the side quests involves collecting seven golden balls scattered around Kamurocho. Longtime fans of the series will remember this as a callback to a similar quest in Like a Dragon Gaiden. You need to find all seven and return them to Shen, who will then grant you a wish – it’s a classic trope, you probably know it!
