"Dying spawns you at the last Serpent Hole you interacted with, which serve both as Vulgrim’s store and the game’s fast travel system, and also respawns all the enemies on the map. Yes, you still had a horse to ride and the hub and spoke structure of the world meant that things felt similar, but there was a greater focus on customization, questing, and character interaction that simply wasn’t present in War’s adventure. It was also significantly larger, focusing more on a vast world than the tightly constructed environments and dungeons of the original, though both were still present. Anything is a weapon in his hands, so the game was more of an action RPG, allowing you to find new weapons and gear and level up and customize his abilities. You’d explore dungeons linked by a hub world as you would in a Zelda game, getting new items that would aid your ability to traverse the world and its dungeons at key points in the plot, while carving up enemies like Kratos.ĭeath was more refined and his game reflected that. Combine that with the ruined state of the post-apocalyptic environments he was exploring, and it made sense that the original game was a mash-up of Zelda and God of War. War was a brick that waded into combat and destroyed things. ![]() In fact, they often operate in different genres based on the Horseman you’re playing. ![]() Darksiders is unique in that each game is very different from the one that came before it. Vigil Games, the studio behind the first two games, may be gone, but the newcomers at Gunfire Games, which features a large chunk of Vigil’s staff, carries the torch admirably here. See, the apocalypse has unleashed the Seven Deadly Sins, and it’s Fury’s job to hunt them down. The third game, which stars Fury, the only female Horseman, is also a prequel. The second game is about Death, but it’s a prequel that focuses on his fight to prove his brother’s innocence and restore humanity. ![]() The first game follows War, who is wrongfully accused of starting the apocalypse ahead of schedule – which results in humanity’s extinction – as he sets out to set things right. Unfortunately, it’s a premise that the sequels seem hellbent on ignoring. The original Darksiders ended with a hell of a cliffhanger, showing the Four Horsemen – in this case War, Death, Fury, and Strife because really, who wants to play as Famine or Pestilence? – reunited and on their way to do battle with… well, I won’t spoil it for those who haven’t played it, but let’s just say it’s exciting. ![]()

If your Mercy or Ana gets hooked by Roadhog, for example, you can cover them with Defense Matrix to ensure that he won’t kill them with his next shot. Never use it to block Melee attacks from Reinhardt or Brigitte either.Īlways look out for teammates to protect with your Defense Matrix. Never use Defense Matrix to attempt to block beams from Zarya, Moira, Symmetra, or Mei. Try to avoid using charge to eat crossfire or stray bullets. You always want to make sure you have enough charge to eat a key ability. One of the most important things to consider when using Defense Matrix is your charge. Look out for stuns and crowd control abilities to absorb as well, such as McCree’s Flashbang. These abilities will give the opposing Reinhardt or Moira ultimate charge and potentially do a good chunk of damage to your teammates. Getting rid of Reinhardt’s Fire Strike or Moira’s Orbs is also important. There are plenty of other valuable abilities to block in Overwatch. Here are some ultimate abilities that you should look to protect your team from when playing D.Va.ĭefense Matrix doesn’t always have to be used on ultimate abilities either.

You can also create multiple “entertainment area” setups in case there are times when you only want the TV to be backlit. This is so the sync box knows what color to turn which light and when so everything flows smoothly. If you have multiple Hue lights around the room, you will place each of them in a 3D diagram of a room. This is where you’ll set up and control your impending light show. You just take the HDMI cables coming from your streaming devices, video game consoles, Blu-ray players, etc., and instead of running them into the TV, you run them into the sync box and then connect the sync box’s HDMI out to the TV and plug in the power.įrom there, you have to install a separate Hue Sync app on your phone. (Though I’d recommend getting the right size strip for your TV.) From there, you just plug it into a wall outlet and add it to your home system via the bridge and the Hue app. Luckily, because the strips bend, I was able to add some curves to the straightaways, and everything fit and aligned as intended. This was made slightly more complicated for me because I have a 55-inch TV, and Hue accidentally sent me the 65-inch strip. Then you just slot the flexible gradient strip into the groove in the guides. The system includes a few plastic guides with double-sided tape that you affix to the back of your TV. That done, my first task was to add the gradient strip to my TV. Setting up the system was simple, but I had a head start because I already had Hue lights scattered around my apartment (accounting for all of the lights in my living room), which meant my Hue Bridge was already set up with my Wi-Fi and account. These can all be looped into the sync box’s stream so the colors on your screen can extend not just behind your TV but also all around your room, which turned out to be way cooler than I thought it would be. The nice-to-haves are any other color-changing Hue lights around your living room. The flexible gradient lightstrip comes in three sizes and slots into channels that you affix to the back of your TV. ![]() That’s how the sync box will tell the gradient strip which colors to display and when. The mandatory piece is the $60 Philips Hue Bridge, which connects directly to your Wi-Fi router and acts as the central hub for all things Hue. There’s one more mandatory component (yup, this is getting expensive) as well as some other nice-to-haves. The idea is that the colors sort of bleed off of the screen and onto the wall behind it, making the screen feel larger. The 65-inch strip I ended up with contained roughly 80 individual LEDs, but they don’t all have to display the same color at the same time, which is how they are able to create a representation of the many colors being displayed on the edge of your TV screen. This is a flexible strip of LED lights that affixes to the back of your TV. The other major piece is the Play gradient lightstrip, which varies in price depending on the size needed for your TV ( $250 for the 55 inch, $270 for the 65 inch, and $300 for the 75 inch). The sync box itself sits between your HDMI devices and your TV and does all the lighting processing. It was somewhat limited when it first launched, but it now supports Dolby Vision, Atmos, and HDR10 Plus, so your programs should look and sound just as good as they normally do. It’s a clever design that greatly reduces lag so your lights stay tightly synced, though there is one major flaw to this method, which we’ll get into in a moment. This is how the system knows what’s on your TV screen so it can color match your lights all of the imagery is routed through it. On the back are four HDMI inputs and one HDMI output. It is, as the name suggests, a roughly 7 x 4 x 1-inch box. The $250 Play HDMI Sync Box is the brains of the operation. Let’s break this system down into its component parts.
