Explore the changing gaming landscape as AI and web3 redefine experiences. Square Enix's recent investment in Atlas.

What’s Going On Here? 

Square Enix's recent investment in Atlas, a 3D AI platform, marks a significant step in the gaming industry's evolution. It reflects the growing impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and web3 technologies, moving beyond traditional gaming experiences into a new realm.

✍️ Reviews of the Week

We hanged out with our fellow Doods in the world of Apeiron before going on adventures and clearing dungeons in Voxie Tactics in our two featured reviews:

Apeiron guarantees an entertaining and thrilling gaming experience for players. Our enjoyment while playing the game is clear evidence of this. As players continue to play, they will become familiar with the cards and this will only enhance the overall gameplay. The game is designed to be highly replayable, allowing players to continually improve with each play session. Once you have nailed down what each Apostle does, it is a cruise, but before that, it can feel more of a drag-and-drop card game.

Voxie Tactics is a casual game that you can just chill back while playing and watch cute voxels battle it out while you guide them. The layer of strategy the game brings to its players keeps you engaged and interested but with equipment and NFT rarities affecting your potential progression can be a dealbreaker.
