Assassin's Creed Syndicate Has The Best Ending Of The Series
7.3.2021
When I think of Assassin’s Creed games, I often remember big cities, cool assassinations, climbing tall towers, and maybe some sea shanties.

Inspiring: This Valheim Player Built A Greyling Torture Factory
4.3.2021
If you’ve played even just several seconds of Valheim, you despise Greylings. They’re awful little tree stump goblins who smack you once, then run away with an infuriating spring in their step, like they’ve stolen candy from your pockets. In the game’s early goings, they’re everywhere. One brave...
