How to catch seahorses

You might expect the more dangerous and deadly creatures to be the most difficult to catch, and they certainly are tough, but the tiny seahorse is tricky for different reasons. The main reason being that you can't catch them at all without first getting the Bug Net.

Step 1: Once you get to Chapter 2, take the "Reticent Girl" sidequest from Maki.

Step 2: Gather the Soy Sauce, Kelp, and three White Trevally to make the White Trevally Kombu Ochazuke meal she asks for.

Step 3: Upon completing her request, you will be rewarded with the Bug Net.

Step 4: With the Bug Net, swim until you find a group of seahorses and swing your net to easily capture one. They will only appear in the shallower depths, so stay near the surface to find them.

Now that you can catch seahorses, new menu items open up, as well as the Seahorse Racing competition. If you're a gambler, you can earn plenty of easy gold this way!

The best games made by one person
Key art for Animal Well

When we think of the best PS5 games, best Xbox series X games, or best Switch games, we tend to go to the big blockbuster titles. These experiences take teams of dozens -- or perhaps hundreds -- of developers years to craft. As great as those are, and there are plenty of upcoming video games that fit that description, there are also solo developers who manage to build their own passion projects all on their own. These indie games tend to be smaller in scale but pack in more unique mechanics, experimental art and writing, and a level of personality and charm that is only possible when one person is in complete control. Making a game by yourself is incredibly hard, and yet we've seen more and more people release amazing games with little to no outside help. Here are our picks for the best games made by just one person.

How long is Dynasty Warriors: Origins?
Key art for Dynasty Warriors: Origins.

The classic Dynasty Warriors games are loose retellings of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms from Chinese literature. While they all share characters and locations from this classic work, the story and events have been rather loose adaptations. Dynasty Warriors: Origins puts a greater focus on the story by introducing a new, single character you experience the events with. While there are more cutscenes and narrative choices than before, the action is just as bombastic and empowering as ever. After the last entry took the game open-world, Dynasty Warriors: Origins refocuses the experience back to large-scale stages. If you're wondering how long it will take you to hack and slash your way through the game, we'll give you a good idea.
How long is Dynasty Warriors: Origins?

Dynasty Warriors: Origins features a lot of optional and side content throughout the main campaign that can dramatically inflate your playtime if you enjoy doing it all. Then there are the multiple endings you can get to add even more hours. To start, our initial playthrough that did a bulk of the side content took about 30 hours to reach the first ending. If you were to do all the side content, one route could add up to 35 or 40 hours. On the other hand, ignoring most or all of the side content could let you beat the game in 20 to 25 hours.
