23 Things Every New Destiny Player Should Know

I'm a day one player, but far from a pro. More recently several of my friends have started fresh, and with TTK approaching there is a possibility more will join soon. I've decided to write down some of the tips for every new destiny player that I wished I'd learned sooner (and reference tools I wish I'd found sooner). As I got started, it made me wonder what others would put on this list. I posted this over on Reddit and I got a HUGE number of great suggestions from members of the community there. If you like reading about Destiny /r/DestinyTheGame is a great sub and one of my primary sources of Destiny news and information. Since I got so much input, I decided to take the time and write down all of these tips with some context on the "whys" and "hows". If you see anything I've missed, please leave a comment!

Bloons Monkey City Review: Monkeying with Free to Play

The Bloons TD series has a long history of cute and challenging tower defense on mobile platforms. The latest entry in the series takes a new direction, though. The team at Ninja Kiwi have added the standard "free to play" trappings to their previously paid-for game mechanics. This has a history of being a terrible idea for most franchises. Does Bloons Monkey City break the mold, or is it another forgettable free-to-play entry in an otherwise stellar game series? Time for a Bloons Monkey City review!

Alphabear Review: Beary Fun

Alphabear is the latest mobile title from Spry Fox, who are old hat in the mobile scene. You may remember their Triple Town, a cute puzzler that was one of the earliest blockbuster free-to-play games. Alphabear is all about spelling and bears, as one might surmise given the game's title. Does Spry Fox have another hit on their hands? Read on for my Alphabear review!

Victor Vran Review: It's Vran-tastic

Victor Vran is an action RPG game from Haemimont Games, who are probably best known as the stewards of the Tropico series. The action RPG genre is dominated by several titans, including the 800 pound gorilla known as Diablo 3. Victor Vran has some seriously huge shoes to fill, and it does surprisingly well at it! I got a few days with the game prior to release, courtesy of Haemimont. In my Victor Vran review, I'll give you a rundown of what makes it worth your time.

Inside Out Thought Bubbles Review: I'm Bubbling with Joy

Ok, let's be honest... a lot of IP tie in games are shovelware. They either are ridiculously lacking in polish, or they just aren't fun. Inside Out Thought Bubbles bucks that trend with an enjoyable rethinking of King's Bubble Witch Saga and (Bobble Bobble before it). Thought Bubbles that lacks most of the poisonous barbs of a F2P game, and yet is is fun and has pleasant, uplifting art in keeping with its source IP. I actually played the game before seeing the movie in the theater, and I had no problem getting into it just because I didn't know the plot. I will note that I usually play mobile games with the sound off, but after having seen Inside Out I was invested enough in the characters that I was interested to hear them talk. They do not disappoint - and while just a touch repetitive, I love hearing phrases from each of the included characters.

Legends of Eisenwald Review: Tactical Fantasy Combat, Simplified

Legends of Eisenwald is a tactical RPG from Belarusian developer Aterdux Entertainment. It borrows heavily from classic tactical strategy franchises like Heroes of Might and Magic and Disciples, but takes a rather unique approach to the genre nonetheless. After spending a few dozen hours with the game, I'm ready to pass judgement - let's get started with this Legends of Eisenwald review!
