However, Alice in Borderland season 3 ended with a game-changing cliffhanger, one that could signal a very intriguing new chapter of the story. The full series' success makes it more likely the show will get the cha
While Banda's role in the story left a lot to be desired and led to some plot holes, I loved the idea of him recruiting back previous players by using their fears against them. It was a clever way to justify why Arisu and Usagi would be b
Exploring far and wide through the Lands Between will result in you encountering invasions of NPCs that may be too much to handle, basic enemies that can one-shot you, or catacombs and caves that are meant to be explored in the endgame. While exploring thoroughly is great and highly recommended to gain levels and become stronger, it’s likely that you will encounter areas that will knock you on your ass if you decide to search every nook and cranny of the map. In short, just be prepared to die a
What particularly drew many viewers to Chishiya was his laid-back and cool demeanor, even during the most grave situations in the games. He never broke under pressure and almost always outclassed his enemies with his unmatched wit and fearlessness. In season 3, though, he has a slightly different r
Each of his clients in the sequence turns out to be one of the OG players from Alice in Borderland seasons 1 and 2. Viewers who remember seasons 1 and 2's primary roster will notice how, other than Chishiya, original characters like Aguni, Kuina, and Niragi also show up in the final stre
Even Ryuji, the most controversial character of the season, was a great addition to the show. In a universe where most villains are mysterious citizens from a supernatural world, Ryuji was a very interesting human antagonist whose intellect and obsessions made him danger
Exploration in Dying Light: The Beast can be super rewarding. It can lead to finding materials to help with survival, weapons for combat, hidden quests with valuable rewards, and much more. What players don’t always realize, though, is just how punishing exploration can be if you spend too much time doing it. If you lose track of time in the open world, the game will punish you by turning to nighttime, which is absolutely brutal and can often lead to the game-over scr
While I believe Alice in Borderland season 3 is great overall, pacing problems plague two episodes specifically. The season premiere takes its time to get the characters back in the Borderland, and while there are some cool moments in the real world, the show drags a bit before getting the action go
Even though exploration is encouraged in [[https://borderlands3mix.com/ Borderlands 3 DLC|https://borderlands3mix.com/]] 4 due to the open-world nature of the game and the opportunity to find hidden weapons, it’s clear that the game wants you to follow more of a linear progression route. Going off the beaten path and exploring too often will likely result in you ending up dead or encountering enemies that are way too challenging. Luckily, the game offers a fast travel system , allowing you to travel somewhere else to farm

Like his show counterpart in Alice in Borderland season 3, Arisu also experiences significant memory loss in the sequel manga.

While the game may not be trying to punish the player, like stumbling upon bosses in Elden Ring, too much exploration in AC: Valhalla makes it easy to reach the point of exhaustion. Personally, I never got the chance to finish the main story of AC: Valhalla because I spent most of my time exploring, which just resulted in me growing tired and putting the controller down. I recommend not exploring too much in this Assassin’s Creed if you want to keep enjoying yours
