‘Blue Archive’ “To Whom Art Belongs: The Fate Of Forgeries And Aesthetics” Update Now Live
This week, publisher NEXON pushed live their latest update to their free-to-play anime strategy role-playing game ‘Blue Archive’. Mysteries are abound as a certain someone (the lovely Miyo) is looking to close up shoppe for the Free Trade Cartel club (at first, anyway). This update brings about new story, pullable characters, and an all-new in-game event. Blue Archive's latest story update features the Free Trade Cartel and them being tasked with a peculiar request; to replace a forgery within a museum’s storage vault. However, a calling card from the Phantom Thief of Benevolence (who could this be?!) unravels the carefully planned operation.

Right before Starsand Island's Early Access launch, we got to take a (third) gander at the game!

If you're in the mood for cosiness, check out this time vampire of a game!
Starsand Island | Early Access Impressions
Ah, nothing quite beats a secluded island, where the only work I do are the things I get to decide on. That is developer Seed Sparkle Lab's philosophy with how they've approached the development to their life simulation slash farming title 'Starsand Island', which launches this week across Steam and Xbox's Early Access programmes (Game Pass Ultimate launch, too). And this marks the third time I've written about this game since May of last year (boy, does time fly...), so I've gotten to see how Starsand Island has changed over time.
