What is the Banana Game? The Peel Back on Steam’s Clicker

What the Hell Even is the Banana Game? If you've been checking the Steam charts to watch the spiraling downfall of Dragon Age: The Veilguard's woke propaganda being flushed down the toilet by gamers worldwide - you might have noticed Banana chillin near the top (#2 at the time of writing with 391,043 concurrent players) and thought to yourself, "What the hell is Banana?".Completely understandable question.So, here we are diving into Banana on Steam, a game that probably started as a fever dream in someone’s fruit bowl one morning that has officially become a Steam sensation...although not without its concerns, controversies, and criticisms.For those of us who remember the sheer click-mania of Cookie Clicker, Banana takes that concept and cranks up the absurdity, adding layers of charm, social features, and a whole barrel of rare bananas to keep us clicking.

League of Legends 14.22: Patch Notes Rundown

LEAGUE OF LEGENDS PATCH 14.22 IS HERE The latest patch, 14.22, brings some exciting changes across the board for League of Legends. From game-changing buffs and nerfs to long-awaited ARAM updates, this patch shakes things up in a way that feels... well, refreshing and maybe a little chaotic.Let’s dive into the highlights! NEW CHAMPION SPOTLIGHT: AMBESSA Patch 14.22 brings the arrival of Ambessa, a powerhouse tank/bruiser from the Shuriman region, designed to thrive in the thick of teamfights. Her kit is packed with crazy mobility in the form of a passive that gives her a little jump after using an ability, reminiscent of Kalista's auto-based passive.Hard-hitting abilities like Cunning Sweep/Sundering Slam (Q) keep Ambessa constantly moving and in your face, which can feel overwhelming to low-mobility characters.With her ultimate, Public Execution, Ambessa can turn a battlefield into her domain, gaining […]

Dragon Age The Veilguard Failed

Why the New Dragon Age is Failing with Flying Colors

Image Credit: Dragon Age: The Veilguard | BioWare | Electronic Arts Welcome to Dragon Age: The Veilguard, a title that's been in development for almost 10 years, estimated between $80 million and $200 million to make, and hyped as the next epic chapter in the Dragon Age saga while (twist ending) in reality it might just be the franchise’s very undoing. Because in a world where Baldur’s Gate 3 has already proven that players can have meaningful choices and gritty, raw freedom, The Veilguard only seems interested in talking down to their audience while shoveling their Concord-sized agenda down the unwilling throats of gamers everywhere. While I'm not going to sit and pretend that every single facet of this game was a complete disaster, I can say with unabashed certainty that, in a game that's supposed to be an immersive […]

2024 DEI-Dumpster Fires: Concord, Dustborn, and Suicide Squad

Hey there, fellow gamers! It’s your friendly neighborhood asshat, Ayefkay, back again to spill the tea on the gaming industry. The thing I love most about running reportafk.com? I get to talk about everything I love - and hate - about games. So today, we’re gonna have a little chat about the recent affronts to gaming - Concord, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and Dustborn and why they face-planted so hard you could hear it from deep space. Let's dive into why these games fell flatter than Alyssa Mercante! 1. Concord – A Disjointed Space Mess First up is Concord, a game that claimed to bring us a fresh take on the space-shooter genre. The activists pretending to be gamers were absolutely buzzing when the teaser dropped, with all the murky and androgynous character models aplenty, but then the […]

DEI-Stroyed Woke Gaming Flops

The DEI-Struction of Gaming

As you find yourself navigating the changing landscape of gaming, you might find yourself wondering...what the hell happened? Surrounded by the androgynous and sexually ambiguous characters of woke games that put their overly-forced messaging over aesthetics, organic storytelling, or character design - it honestly seems like the last thing on any modern game developers mind is, "How can we make this more fun?". And it shows, painfully so. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives have become a widespread infection across multiple industries in recent years, including and especially gaming. Originally designed to promote a more "inclusive and welcoming environment" for all players, the unnatural escalation of DEI efforts, focusing more on virtue signaling than game design, has seemed to mutate into a race of who can make the most impact, for better or worse. I think it's pretty obvious at […]

Developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, this follow-up to the cult classic Helldivers came out guns blazing, delivering a co-op experience that was equal parts chaotic and tactical. The game was everything fans of the original wanted and more: brutal difficulty, a deep arsenal of weapons, and that same satirical, Starship Troopers-esque vibe that made the first game so beloved.Right out of the gate, Helldivers 2 was met with rave reviews, with players and critics alike praising its addictive gameplay loop, sharp graphics, and that glorious sense of camaraderie as you and your squad took on waves of alien scum.The community was buzzing.
