Ravensthorpe's Hearth: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

A Seasonal Chronicle of Community, Craft, and Conquest in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Spring’s First Foray: Laying the Foundations Awakening the Clearing As the frost of winter finally relinquishes its grip on Ravensthorpe, the settlers emerge from their mead-fueled hibernation to survey the land anew. The clearing beside the clattering river, once a tangled brush of thorns, now bears the first wooden beams of the longhouse. I remember how, in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, our “home” was little more than a fixed bastion—stalwart but static. Here, in Assassin's Creed Valhalla , every plank we nail to the walls, every stone we place in the blacksmith’s forge, feels alive with possibility. Recruiting Kin and Kindred Eivor’s arrival heralds more than just a leader—it signals hope. Word spreads across the shires of Lincolnscire and beyond: Ravensthorpe is open to souls in search of purpose. In the span of a fortnight, farmers, shield-maidens, and exiled jarls trickle in, each bearing the...

Death Stranding 2 (PS5) Review - The Essence of Being Human

A massive reptilian creature stood before me, a spiked club in its hand, glimmering threateningly. The sight of the creature's arm-plated skin bristling carried on a wave of fierce fury and a rage-filled whiff. This brutality is meant to crush hope. I moved stealthily towards its blind spot, allowing its foot movements to engulf me in silence, exhaling on every step in the hope of precision. Then, I released a flurry of endless. The rage within me, a phenomenon often relatable in The First Berserker: Khazan , forced my axe forward, and it shattered ribs before the beast could respond. Seconds later, I heard its death rattle, which echoed throughout the hall. I got into my stance, only to be drenched in its blood. Going back to the Blade Nexus felt too ordinary, but knowing I could obtain 1104 Lacrima in 30 seconds gave me the urge...
