Wuchang: Fallen Feathers isn't a revolutionary Soulslike title that aims to change the subgenre, but it's catching the attention of many players right now, in part because it's available on day 1 on Xbox Game Pass. Wuchang, however, does have some issues with underexplaining certain mechanics, which is giving players a little trouble. Wuchang makes some changes to the Soulslike formula established by FromSoftware, the developers of Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. Those changes aren't laid out so

We can’t think about rebuilding in the way that things have been in the past. We have to look ahead and say, ‘What is needed?

If a country fails to take decisive action to protect the planet from climate change, it could be breaking international law and be held liable for damages caused to humanity.

In 1633, Galileo Galilei stood before the Inquisition, not for inventing a radical new theory, but for proposing a straightforward idea: that the Earth moves around the Sun. This wasn’t even a new suggestion—Greek astronomers like Aristarchus had floated the heliocentric model centuries earlier. But in Galileo’s time, the idea ran into an insurmountable obstacle.
