Stardew Valley: Every way to get a catfish, with and without fishing

4 days ago | gameland.gg | Steven Rondina

Catfish can be a tricky catch in Stardew Valley, but players have the opportunity to get them if they know how, when, and where they show up. And if they can get a bit lucky, too. Many players feel like fishing is a blight upon the game due to the frustratingly slow progression and the pressure. Because of that, catching tiger trout and other fish that are season-exclusive can easily induce ragequitting if a player misses out. The catfish isn’t one of those, though.
ZZZ build guide: Best Hugo Drive Discs, W-Engine, and teams

1 week ago | gameland.gg | Steven Rondina

The final character coming in ZZZ season one is Hugo and he’s a deceptively strong character to pull for, when he has a proper build and team composition. Zenless Zone Zero is set to wrap up its first season, and the final limited S-rank character available in the patch is Hugo Vlad.
All of the Zelda games on Switch, and which ones are best

Want to play more Zelda games on Switch after beating Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom? There are plenty to choose from. Nintendo has traditionally pulled out all the stops when it comes to making Zelda games great. There have been a few misfires over the years, but many of the titles are regarded as classics and several are ranked among the greatest of all time. The Nintendo Switch doesn’t offer access to every single Zelda game on the market, but it does give players 14 to choose from.
What you can & can't get before ZZZ 2.0

Yixuan is coming to ZZZ in the 2.0 update but those looking to pre-farm materials for her are going to have more than a little bit of trouble doing so. Zenless Zone Zero Season 2 is set to be a big one, as one would expect. Loads of new features have already been leaked from beta testers, ranging from an overhauled UI to quality-of-life improvements. But of course, Zenless Zone Zero fans are always most focused on the new characters.
Find out the release date for ZZZ version 2.0 and Yixuan's banner

2 weeks ago | gameland.gg | Steven Rondina

Zenless Zone Zero version 1.7 is delivering a fair bit of fresh content, but all eyes are on ZZZ 2.0’s release date and the banner of new character Yixuan. Fans are already slicing their way through the final part of the season-one epilogue chapter. Vivian and Hugo are in the spotlight but the story has mostly been focused on establishing the new antagonists and characters for next season. That includes introducing Yixuan and teasing the goals of the ominous cult known as The Exaltists.
Stardew Valley: How, where, and when to catch a tiger trout

2 weeks ago | gameland.gg | Steven Rondina

Catching specific fish is one of the most arduous parts of rebuilding the community center in Stardew Valley, so how should players handle the tiger trout? One of the worst feelings in gaming might just be missing out on something in Stardew Valley. The realization can be crushing when players miss out on growing a season-specific crop or catching a certain fish. The tiger trout can be one of these offenders. As such, players need to make sure they catch one when they have the opportunity.
Elden Ring: Moonveil location and best build guide

3 weeks ago | gameland.gg | Steven Rondina

The Moonveil katana can turn Elden Ring’s oldest, frailest wizard into a deadly ninja if players happen to build for it and track down its location. Elden Ring offers players a lot of flexibility in terms of building out their characters, but arguably the most impactful item in the game is the Moonveil. While there are loads of weapons that scale off each stat, the Moonveil is unique among intelligence-scaling weapon options.
Elden Ring: All Nagakiba locations and full Yura questline guide

3 weeks ago | gameland.gg | Steven Rondina

Getting the Nagakiba can be a key moment in an Elden Ring playthrough, but finding its actual location isn’t particularly easy thanks to the obscure questline of Bloody Finger Hunter Yura. Katanas are really strong in Elden Ring. The Rivers of Blood was long a blight on the PvP experience, and remains the best main weapon for bleed builds. Meanwhile, the Moonveil can instantly turn a lifelong wizard into a hard-hitting melee threat.
What you should & shouldn't watch

4 weeks ago | gameland.gg | Steven Rondina

Like many other 1990s-era anime and manga series, Berserk suffers from issues regarding how to watch, and what order its numerous adaptations should be watched in. The answer is, unfortunately, quite simple. Modern-day shonen anime fans have it quite easy. A series will come out, a new season will come out every year or two, and the show will wind down. The worst-case scenario is that the show will end while fans are still hungry for more, like with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
ZZZ: The best build, W-Engines, and team compositions for Vivian

4 weeks ago | gameland.gg | Steven Rondina

Vivian adds something that ZZZ players have long needed and if she has a good build and appropriate team composition, she can be a transformational addition to any roster. While the last two Zenless Zone Zero patches have been all about attackers and new supporting options, Vivian is a new addition for disorder-focused players. She’s specifically designed to be in dual-anomaly teams, and stands as ZZZ’s first ether anomaly agent. Her unique kit makes her somewhat awkward to build, though.
