That’s a good explainer for what the game is about, but to summarise: it’s a first-person adventure set in a world where all food walks and talks, and consuming it transforms the body of the creature that ate it. It’s Cloudy With A Chance Of Pokémon with a surprisingly emotional story and some light puzzling. In his Bugsnax review, Steve Hogarty wrote that the game didn’t quite marry its ideas together, but that for its 5-6 hour running time, it’s “is “a delightful and intriguing world to inhabit” and a “faintly naughty, but never crass adventure that feels simultaneously like a love letter to, and a sharply observed satire of, the games that inspired it....

On this page, we’ll take you through the minimum and recommended system requirements to run Vanguard on PC at launch. We also cover the best settings you can apply to improve things like frame rate and in-game visibility, and fixes for some known issues. Call Of Duty: Vanguard system requirements It can be difficult to assess whether your PC is up to running the latest games. We’ve put together this handy reference guide to the minimium system specs you’ll need to run the game, as well as the recommended system requirements for optimal performance....

Warzone is basically doing a Fortnite but for dads in their late 30s (and me), so I suppose it was inevitable Rambo and John McClane would rock up in Warzone eventually. And if you’d like to play as either of them, you can spend some real money on their operator bundles. You’ll get to play as a very sweaty Sylvester Stallone or a bruised cop, and unlock some alright-looking weapon skins....

That superb aesthetic is still there, although I’d say it’s now drifted closer towards Dune, along the scale of SF you’re allowed to like and still think of yourself as highbrow. Is the actual game any good? Well… probably. It’s certainly interesting; the Advance Wars DNA is still very much in place, and has been combined with a set of supply chain mechanics more familiar from factory games than anywhere else....

Hinfinite community manager John Junyszek shared the details on Twitter last night. He said they’ll be adding “Play 1 Game” challenges to help players gather more consistent XP, and play matches the way they want (rather than be constantly asked to use a specific gun or something). On top of that, 343 will be doubling the duration of XP Boosts, so they’ll last one hour instead of just 30 mins....

New features in Sunset Harbor include a new fishing industry with boats and fish farms, a passenger helicopter service for the irresponsibly wealthy, an Aviation Club so folks can fly for funsies, water treatment plants, new types of bus service, and five new maps. Sounds like another expansion which doesn’t dramatically change the game but does add more variety to your cities. In the Paradox strategy tradition, the paid expansion is accompanied by a free update with newness for all players....

While this is a spin-off from Cities: Skylines, it’s worth noting that it’s made not by Colossal Order but by a new studio, Fast Travel Games. Fast Travel, in turn, say that Cities: VR “isn’t a direct port of Cities: Skylines.” That’s because you can’t run cities of the size and complexity of Skylines on a VR headset. Instead, Cities: VR offers the fundamentals of laying down roads, painting zoning districts, and adjusting taxes....

In a new video, Firaxis go over some of the highlights coming in the free update at the end of this month. One biggie is the Natural Wonder Picker which will let you customise which wonders are able to appear during your match. They’re still randomised, but you can control the set available if there are a few elusive options you’ve just never come across while playing with the full set....

Over the course of a couple of weeks, we racked up a solid 60+ hours of game time. I’d wake up and see my friend clearing map markers. I’d pop out for a quick run (yes, I ran on my holiday like a chump) and return to see both of my friends clearing map markers. Did we enjoy it? Sometimes! But then, why couldn’t we stop playing? The Ubisoft Effect, I reckon....

The big boi stands above a blood red sea, which is probably that colour because you and the others playing it will die a lot. You’ll perish at tricky jumps, moving platforms, and every other cruel trick a platformer can throw at you. Terry knows that this sort of thing only works when you can get right back into the game, so every area has a respawn that drops you right back at the puzzle you perished at....

I’m afraid you can’t put a Baby Yoda on the dashboard in Cloudpunk, soz. Maybe a tiny Rick Deckard, if you ask developers Ion Lands nicely enough? When it launched earlier this year, Cloudpunk’s camera kept a safe distance. Sure, the stratospheric city of Nivalis is gorgeous, but you never quite got a feel for the scale of it all from your drone’s eye view. Since then, however, Ion Lands has been messing with different perspectives - starting with a first-person view for the game’s many on-foot sections....

Starting this Monday, all of Vermintide 2’s base campaigns are freely available for anyone to download and play. While that means you won’t be able to hop into the DLC missions yourselves, the base game is still one of the best co-op games around - and if I remember rightly, you can join up on a friend who owns them without trouble (though feel free to correct me in the comments on that)....

To me, the best part of games events is getting to play unusual games and experiences that might not exist outside events—or at least are more fun to play with weird controllers or while jostling your pals. You’ll find nine such things at RPS Future Of Play next week. In truth, I don’t yet know all of them, and that’s exciting to me. The lineup is: ByteDance - a “game/art-generator” full of swirly patterns....

If you’ve ever watched Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares USA – the superior version of the Kitchen Nightmares global franchise, because oh man, Americans – there is the inevitable scene in which Gordon holds up a bad lasagna to a flailing head chef and demands to know what kind of bullshit he thinks he’s serving. Look at that, he says, holding the bad lasagna up to his chin and glowering over it like a menace....

Crash 4 is all about time, Activision say. Wronguns Doctor Neo Cortex and Doctor Nefarious have done a doozy on time and space by ripping out of their interdimentional prison. You know, as cartoon villains do. Bandicoots Crash and Coco are in charge of fixing up the mess while doing all the jumping, flipping, and platforming the original trilogy was known for. During the reveal, developer Toys For Bob say that they believe classic Crash gameplay was something players would want to come back to instead of something like an open-world rendition of bandicootin’....

Can my PC specs run Crusader Kings 3? Crusader Kings 3 is out on Windows PC, Mac, and Steam OS/Linux, as well as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for console players. According to the game’s Steam page, you’ll need to have a certain level of machine to run Crusader Kings 3 on a personal computer. We’ll keep you updated as things change too - the Crusader Kings series is famous for its huge DLC content drops throughout the game’s life span, and there’s always the chance one of these makes the game more intense to run....

You can spot the new lighting and reflections and other treats in the new launch trailer below. Mind, this one’s a gameplay trailer so you don’t really get to stand around an appreciate the scenery. It’s all about the actual shooting and kabooming business. That part is the Crysis you remember. “What begins as a simple rescue mission becomes the battleground of a new war as alien invaders swarm over a North Korean island chain,” Crytek say....

The 5000 series contains some of the best CPUs for gaming around, and this motherboard’s B550 chipset ensures full compatibility with features like overclocking and PCIe 4.0 support. Inevitably for this kind of price level, the B550M DS3H isn’t going to do everything. The rear I/O panel, for one, is relatively basic, with no USB-C ports or higher-end audio outputs. It’s also lacking in onboard Wi-Fi, and the microATX form fact precludes having as many PCIe slots as a beefy ATX mobo....

Below we’ll walk you through exactly how you can start playing Cyberpunk 2077 in third person perspective by downloading a couple of key mods created by the community. Follow these steps and you’ll be staring at V’s back in no time. How to play Cyberpunk 2077 in third person mode Cyberpunk 2077 is a first-person game. By default, third-person view only occurs while driving a vehicle, or in very specific and rare moments of the story....
