Thankfully there’s a way to teleport between all the Sister Genessas - she acts as a checkpoint if you’re new to the game - scattered around the world. This saves so much time and struggle, I’d highly recommend gaining the ability as soon as possible. Below I’ll lay out how to unlock fast travel in Mortal Shell. How to fast travel in Mortal Shell To fast travel in Mortal Shell you’ll need to get hold of the Ornate Mask....

We’ve seen and played Bannerlord a fair bit over the years. Back in 2016, Adam declared it “has gaming’s greatest castles” with excellent destructive sieges. Come in 2018, Brendy had a go on the singleplayer campaign and came away jabbering excitedly that it “is full of thugs and bog men”. He played a bit of multiplayer objective mode the year before too, though that’s not the big draw of M&B....

To its credit, MultiVersus has the Super Smash Bros likeness down to a tee, with a grid of Warner Bros character icons to choose from such as, errr, Bugs Bunny! Taz, The Tasmanian Devil! Arya Stark! A large dog that’s just hanging out! You then take to 2D stages and knock each other into its boundaries until there’s one cartoon left standing. If you’ve played Smash Bros before, it should feel instantly familiar....

I was lucky enough to review one for several months for Digital Foundry - I think Dell forgot about it for a while - so I consider it my duty to inform you that it is now on sale for the first time ever, dropping from £1099 to £943 - still a big chunk of change, but a fitting Black Friday price for one of the best monitors on the market of any description, hands down....

I jest, of course, but it does beg the question whether this is the logical endpoint of the games industry’s weird love affair with shoes right now. After all, once you’ve stuck an entire PC inside your gaming shoe, where else is there to go? Laces that double up as controller cables? So far, it doesn’t look as though the NZXT x RTFKT shoes have a proper name yet, but here’s what they look like in the flesh....

Netflix released their own statement, with VP of Game Development Mike Verdu writing that Night School’s “commitment to artistic excellence and proven track record make them invaluable partners as we build out the creative capabilities and library of Netflix games together.” The Night School post makes no mention of Oxenfree 2’s presence on other digital storefronts. The game’s Steam store page remains live at the time of writing. Netflix’s post says that all the games released by the streaming service “will all be included as part of your Netflix membership — all with no ads and no in-app purchases....

“As the Pokémon TCG Online launched over 10 years ago, Pokémon TCG Live not only provides an opportunity to update the game and underlying technology, but engage more fans by offering an easily accessible app on smartphones, tablets, PCs, and Macs,” Pokémon Company say about why they’re sunsetting Pokémon TCG Online. “Pokémon TCG Live also comes with a suite of improvements, including a new card logic engine that provides more player feedback around gameplay events, as well as a Ranked Ladder, Battle Pass, duplicate card protection with Credits, 3D avatars, updated visual effects, and more fluid gameplay....

“Our sole focus right now is to get everyone logging in and playing quickly,” the devs say. “To ensure everyone can find an open world now, while also finding a home in Aeternum with their community long-term, we’ll offer an opportunity in the next two weeks for all players to relocate their characters to a new server of their choice at no cost.” To see this content please enable targeting cookies....

You’ll just need to grab the Nier: Automata Mod Helper if you want to install the secret church. SadFutabo and uploader DevolasRevenge recommend being around level 90 for your first time playing, and removing chips such as overclock and shockwave so that you’re not too powerful. They also suggest not playing the regular story with the mod’s normal version installed, instead plumping for the lite version. The mod’s at version 1....

Looked bad, that. It wipes out some of the original’s detail, and the high framerate looks odd - especially with the ghostly trail on fast-moving parts. I’d rather have the original than a messy upscaling. Nightdive admit it wasn’t the greatest video, but that’s all we’ve seen so far. “It’s more of a work in progress,” Nightdive CEO Stephen Kick told told Eurogamer in an interview, “as opposed to, this is what the final version’s gonna look like....

Koei Tecmo had already outlined most of these PC features previously, but the trailer gives a proper look at things like HDR support and widescreen display support. Most importantly, and yes, I’m going to harp on it again, they show off the menu for customising inputs. The original Nioh didn’t have mouse and keyboard support when it launched, which seemed like a real miss. I prefer to play with a gamepad, but even customising those controls was a real pain in the rear when Nioh first landed....

If you’re playing via Steam, I strongly suggest following the lead of the, uh, thousands of people who’ve discovered this before me by disabling the 2K Launcher entirely. I’ve just tried this out and not only did the majority of the stuttering vanish, but my average frames per second shot up by nearly 62%. 62% better performance! From nixing a launcher that serves absolutely no purpose when you’re launching from Steam anyway!...

“There are a lot of base-building games out there now, enough to make Dwarf Fortress easier to get into,” Adams said in an update about the game on Steam. “After one failed attempt with the original, the latest version of the tutorial allowed her to get good enough at the game to tunnel under a bog and drown her fortress.” Nice one, Annie. I don’t think I would’ve fared as well....

Here’s a new trailer to mark the release date announcement: Ooblets mixes together Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley-style farming and Pokémon-style creature-collecting, with several wonderful twists. First of all, those two halves are linked: the Ooblets you befriend are grown in your garden, not (or not only) discovered in the wild. Second of all, the lovable creatures who follow you around don’t fight with bites and elemental magic, but via card-based breakdancing....

Ori And The Will Of The Wisps Wellspring chase When you reach the top of the Wellspring, Ori will be snatched by a large mass of tentacles. It looks like Ori’s about to be eaten, but Opher comes to your rescue and allow you to escape. What follows is an elongated chase sequence that we will show in its entirety in the video above. However, if you are unable to view this video, here is a step by step guide to escaping the tentacle mass in the Wellspring....

After exhausting the puzzle possibilities of non-euclidean rotations, the latest game from mobile moguls Ustwo hit iPhones last September. Setting up shop in a quaint Italian town, Assemble With Care sees you repairing broken old gadgets, bathed in the developers’ familiar palette of pastel blues and pinks. Assemble With Care offers up a bounty of old tech to take apart and piece back together. There’s a wonderful physicality to each of the game’s 13 devices, vividly-rendered components clacking together without any of the awkward fudging that comes with, y’know, actually piecing together broken old kit....

Wouldn’t be a proper sci-fi setting without the genre-mandated elusive precursor race, now, would it? Forerunners, Protheans, and now the mysterious Antediluvians - living 100,000 years ago must’ve been a riot. Long before our ancestors were kicking about with this “standing on two legs” lark, the Antediluvian’s supposedly had their own globe-spanning civilization up and running. Now, the gang at Phoenix Point have unearthed their tech - but they’re not the only ones looking for a leg up from the ancients....

Get the MSI Radeon RX 6900 XT Gaming X Trio for £700 (was £1000) The RX 6900 XT remains a very good graphics card despite the release of Nvidia’s RTX 40-series cards (and the upcoming release of AMD RDNA3 cards), with its new price befitting a great performer for 4K gaming or high refresh rate gaming at lower resolutions. The card is strongest in rasterised (ie not ray-traced) titles, but it at least does have hardware-accelerated RT and a good image upscaling algorithm, in the form of FSR 2....
