Backlash is one of the most essential skills for any Scoundrel build. It can be chosen when creating a new character or when the player reaches Fort Joy. This skill teleports the player who uses it behind the enemy and backstabs them at the same time. One of the best parts about this perk is the low action point cost. This skill only costs one action point. The downside is that it has a 3 turn cooldown, so players will have to rely on other means to get behind other enemies. That's where the other skills come

As such, players of Original Sin 2 might get disappointed at first when they learn that each Act in the game has a simple overworld. However, the "non-open-world" setting easily compensates with the worldbuilding present, courtesy of atmosphere and side quests present in each Act. In turn, players should try as much as possible to explore the boundaries of the map in every Act, as treasures and interesting dialogue options end up in nooks and crannies players usually overl

When players enter Act 1’s area, Fort Joy, for the first time, they might feel overwhelmed with just how large the overall area could be. After all, Fort Joy proper is already teeming with NPCs with their own interests, sidequests, and gameplay choices to have players panicking about what to do first. As such, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed seeing that Fort Joy is easily just around 20-percent of the overall Act 1 map. In fact, each Act’s "hub" area is just around a fifth the size of its surrounding map, giving players a ton of ground to cover if they want to explore the wo


With Diablo 4 currently in development over at Blizzard, fans of the ARPG looter are itching for the chance to dive into more dungeons and hack their way through monsters all in the pursuit of loot.
