Runeterra guardians guide This Runeterra guardians guide will show you how you can equip any purchased guardians that you have bought with real money, since Runeterra sort of hides the option to use them. If additional avatars are not your thing, you can look at our Runeterra best decks guide instead. How to equip Runeterra guardians As one of the cheeky little avatars that populates the League of Legends universe, the guardians come in all shapes and sizes....

Saints Row (2022 edition) is back to being a sort of Saints Row again, but also still trying to appeal to people who loved the characters and dick jokes and cartoon carnage of the Saints Row of 2013. If I was being reductive, I’d say it’s Saints Row by way of Watch Dogs 2. It isn’t bad. It’s fun, in fact, but it isn’t really doing anything new, either, and I think that’s a shame....

It looks rather promising, as you can see in the below trailer. Full disclosure: I misread the title as “Salvage” and got excited because salvage games are one of my favourite things that basically don’t exist. This may not scratch that exact itch, but I am intrigued nonetheless. Unsurprisingly, developers KPas name Teleglitch as an inspiration, even going so far as to call their work a “spiritual successor”. That’s rather bold, and a high bar, although there are a few obvious parallels to Test3 Projects’ 2012 survival horror roguelike....

Scarf is the debut game from Spanish developers Uprising Studios. Parts of it remind me of Journey, except instead of just vast deserts, you get to explore underwater zones and lush green areas too. Right, so back to the dragon scarf. Sometimes, it turns into a wiggly dragon to show you the way, and also you can pet it. Then when you get more abilities, the scarf will do more cute dragon-y things!...

As someone with extremely frizzy Irish hair, our first shot is extremely relatable to me, specifically. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Manage cookie settings — HappyJuice Games (@HappyJuiceGames) September 5, 2020 Besides accurately capturing what it looks like when I blow-dry my hair, Lost In Play is a gorgeous animated point ’n’ click that flaunts its influences proudly. Due for release in 2021 on Steam, it immediately evokes Over The Garden Wall, if more summery and lighthearted, following two siblings through whimsical misadventures as they try to find their way home....

This has to be at least the second or third time Kev’s office-chair hijinks have shown up in this column, but that’s only because it seems to dramatically change every time I check in on it.

Knock knock, who’s there? Why it’s entry number one in this week’s screenapalooza, a handsome paper greyscale adventure. To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

At time of writing it’s right at the top of the metagame, so get on it if you happen to have the cards in your collection. We’re playing this version of Secret Libram Paladin pretty fast. You have early chip damage, disruption of enemy play, and some big bombs all available at the same time, so it’s important to actually use them. Here’s our full guide to how to play Secret Libram Paladin in Hearthstone....

If you’re in the mood for a proper classic, Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is first on the free-for-keeps list. You can find it on Steam and add it to your account free until Monday, October 19th at 6pm BST / 10am PDT. To get Nights, you need to head link to a Steam account. For something new with retro flavour, Sega are releasing several small games built on classics. Streets Of Kamurocho is a Yakuza-themed beat ’em up where you can stomp around as yer guys Kiryu and Majima beating up suited gangsters in Streets Of Rage style, created by Empty Clip Studios....

That works so well. Ragdolled, gravity-free livestock were always meant to have a Queen soundtrack. I really hate suggesting that anything is like Inception, as it’s such a lazy shorthand, but wandering through the gravity-addled explosions really does have an Inceptiony quality. The mod adds ragdoll physics on every creature, which makes whacking away at a steak on legs kind of disturbing. They tend to crumple in a meaty heap....

The partner card specialists investigated around two dozen of the bricked RTX 3090s that affected owners had returned under warranty, and reported their findings to PC World. X-ray exams revealed what EVGA called “poor workmanship” on the now-deceased cards, referring to sub-par soldering work around each unit’s MOSFET circuits. These tiny components form part of a GPU’s voltage regulation system, and since improper power usage is one of the most reliable ways to kill PC components…yep, that sounds a very feasible prelude to a good bricking....

The Chinese Room credit the inspiration for Little Orpheus’ subterranean journey to classic adventure flicks such as Flash Gordon, Sinbad and The Land That Time Forgot. It does look like a treat for the oculars, with environments themed around defunct civilisations, undersea realms, and prehistoric jungle. There’s plenty of massive dinos and jellyfish to gawp at while you’re steering your little Sixties cosmonaut bloke away from them and out of danger....

According to the update, the Skywind team are “finally seeing the end of the road.” The video below goes over some of the work left to be completed in Skywind and shows off many of its current environments and characters. The team say that the majority of Skywind’s environment assets are completed and that the project now needs environment and level designers to add detail and refinement to its outdoor areas....

Like Inside and Limbo before it, Somerville will see you traverse haunting landscapes in 2D, invariably trying to get from one side of the screen to another as you flee from giant laser beams, crumbling ruins and other hostile characters you meet along the way. The trailer starts with you and your family slumbering in front of the TV, but things quickly take a turn for the worse as some very Arrival-style monoliths suddenly appear in the sky and chaos starts to rain down from on high....

Earlier today, Yuki Naja tweeted to ask whether the Sonic Origins release of Sonic 3 had different music, and then remarked with surprise that did even as Sega’s TikTok marketing for the account used Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean. “SEGA Official is playing Michael Jackson’s song on Sonic. I’m surprised. Is it a sign?” Naja had asked in an earlier tweet. Players had previously noticed that Sonic 3 within Sonic Origins replaced several tracks with versions of the songs from earlier test versions of the game....

“Epic’s powerful technology in areas such as graphics places them at the forefront of game engine development with Unreal Engine and other innovations," says Sony Corporation CEO Kenichiro Yoshida. “Through our investment, we will explore opportunities for further collaboration with Epic to delight and bring value to consumers and the industry at large, not only in games, but also across the rapidly evolving digital entertainment landscape.” For his vows of business friendship, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says “Sony and Epic have both built businesses at the intersection of creativity and technology, and we share a vision of real-time 3D social experiences leading to a convergence of gaming, film, and music....

You can spot a bit of safecracking and the extra snazzy tools here in the Safecracking Sim trailer. Honestly, the sound design is what’s tickled me. Those little metallic clicks and scrapes are rather satisfying. Once again, I’ve already learned something just from watching. Safecracking Sim is pretty much what it says on the tin, and it’s a neat tin! Developer Sophie Houlden says that the game includes a tutorial to walk you through how a safe lock actually works and the variety of high-tech tools you can call in to crack them....

The trailer harks back to the point-and-click mysteries beloved of my misspent youth, which really fits in with Psychroma’s whole retro futuristic vibe. It’s got that clever pixel art style that looks exactly how you remember golden age adventure games looking in the ’90s, which of course means that it’s much, much more polished and modern than those games ever were. In this first-look trailer our protagonist Haze wakes up on the couch in a depressing-looking apartment described as a “cybernetic house”, which as far as I can make out means a cramped granny flat with what looks like a robot companion in it and a glitchy ghost in the bedroom mirror....

Square Enix say Athia “will transport players to a world filled with beauty and dismay as they set upon a thrilling story-led, action-packed adventure which can be twisted, tempestuous and forbidding.” That’s how I describe my everyday life too. They’re a bit more vague on what it is but I’m broadly up for jumping around real fast, getting stared at by giant eyes in the woods, and beating people up with roots....

“Never say never, so to speak, but as far as our philosophy goes we’re not trying to treat the game as a live service,” creative director Ian Frazier told UploadVR. “We don’t want to say, ‘It’s almost done!’ and then dribble out more of it over time, which to be honest is how most games work these days,” he adds. “So we’ve tried to treat it in kind of an old-school approach saying, ‘You’ve paid the $40, this is the game and it’s entirely self-contained....
