I had just played a Dark Souls-style action RPG (though decidedly not a Soulslike), and I kind of kicked a bunch of ass. The action was fast-paced, the combos were slick, and most importantly, boss fights didn't leave me questioning every decision in my life that led to the encounter. I liked it, and I wrote a whole piece about how I wished more big-budget action RPGs we]]></description><link>https://www.newslocker.com/en-us/news/games/phantom-blade-zero-is-an-action-rpg-for-people-tired-of-soulslikes-dev-says-have-fun-unwind/</link><pubDate>Fri, 30 Oct 2026 00:42:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://www.newslocker.com/en-us/news/games/phantom-blade-zero-is-an-action-rpg-for-people-tired-of-soulslikes-dev-says-have-fun-unwind/</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Star Trek and X-Men actor Patrick Stewart dies at 86]]></title><description><![CDATA[Patrick Stewart, the beloved actor best-known as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the Star Trek universe and Professor Charles Xavier in X-Men, has died at age 86.Stewart's death was announced on his official social media accounts with a message from his family encouraging donations to the Johns Hopkins Alzheimer's Disease Research Center Fund and the Alzheimer's Foundation of America Caregiver Resources in lieu of flowers.
