Destroy-anything indie game Teardown now has a complete campaign Posted: 03 Dec 2021 03:47 PM PST Teardown was a hit with the community before it even launched, thanks to a series of Twitter videos showcasing the game's impressive freeform destruction. The game hit Steam Early Access just over a year ago, and it's still not quite ready for 1.0 - but there's a whole lot more of it to enjoy now, as the devs have completed the campaign. This week's 0.9 release introduces the second half of the campaign. "For the past year, we have worked hard to bring you the completion of the Teardown campaign," the devs explain in the announcement. "And we are pleased to bring you an update packed to the brim with exciting stuff. New locations, new mission types, new tools, new characters, robots (!), and a whole lot of mayhem!" From here, the devs are set to "dive into the final stretch leading to the 1.0 release". If you want to check out the expanded campaign and dive in before that final launch, the game is currently 20% off, bringing the price down to $15.99 / £14.79 / €15.99. View the full site

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla adds Basim’s sword, but you need to play this week to get it Posted: 03 Dec 2021 03:08 PM PST Assassin's Creed Valhalla is in a bit of a holding pattern right now, as the next bit of DLC is still somewhere over the horizon. However, the devs still have some stuff in mind to keep you occupied until then - like new swords. Another community challenge event is now underway, and if the goal is met (it will be) everyone who participates will get a shiny new sword. More specifically, you'll get Basim's sword, a stylish one-handed weapon modeled after the one wielded by the proto-assassin. To get it, you need to get a kill with any one-handed sword - the weapon will be unlocked once the community reaches 250,000 one-handed sword kills, and with many days left on the challenge, that's already nearly complete. The Oskoreia Festival has also been extended to December 9 so that "all players are able to fully enjoy" it. The spooky festival was originally scheduled to conclude on December 2, and still feels like a slightly-late effort at a Halloween celebration. But hey, if you're mad that the calendar has left Halloween behind in favour of Christmas season, Valhalla is keeping the spirits up.

Half-Life: Blue Shift mod for Black Mesa now includes three playable chapters Posted: 03 Dec 2021 03:01 PM PST Now you can play the first three chapters of Half-Life: Blue Shift, rebuilt in the spiffy new version of the Source Engine used in Black Mesa. The modding group behind the Blue Shift mod, HECU Collective, continues to publish new chapters of the Half-Life spin-off FPS game, which tells the story of a Black Mesa Research Facility security guard on the day of Gordon Freeman's fateful misadventure. The first playable chunk of the mod arrived back in March, and it only included a brief introduction to Blue Shift. Now you can play Living Quarters Outbound, Insecurity, and Duty Calls, including all the taut combat sequences and environmental puzzles featured in the original game. The most recent version of Black Mesa: Blue Shift also adds in some fixes for chapter two, new character animations, and some maintenance workers - all of whom, like protagonist Barney Calhoun, are having an extremely bad day. Duty Calls is where events in Blue Shift really pop off, and it begins in the wreckage of an elevator shaft, where Barney wakes up after Freeman sets off the resonance cascade, filling the facility with ravenous alien monsters.

Classic Diablo-style RPG Titan Quest just got another surprise expansion Posted: 03 Dec 2021 01:47 PM PST Well, colour us surprised - again. Titan Quest, the 2006 Diablo-style action RPG game about battling mythological monsters, has just gotten another expansion. The last, which arrived in 2017, was called Ragnarok and took players to the realms of Viking lore and legend. The new DLC, Eternal Embers, is all about Far Eastern and Egyptian mythology. The expansion includes a new questline that spans four acts, which are filled out with 15 new side quests that you'll only be able to play on legendary difficulty. A new 11th mastery, Neidan, is a "mystical alchemist who uses deadly concoctions and abilities to annihilate his enemies." There are more than 30 new enemies and bosses, new weapons and gear, new potions to quaff, and plenty more. "Legendary entities from Asian mythology like the Jade Emperor, the Ten Suns, and the Dragon King of the Four Seas are part of an epic storyline," publisher THQ Nordic says. "With the legendary powers of the ancient Neidan masters, the blessings of demigods, and the will of ancient emperors, all the power is at the player's fingertips." View the full site

Halo Infinite is getting dedicated Slayer and SWAT playlists Posted: 03 Dec 2021 01:37 PM PST The free-to-play multiplayer component is getting an update alongside the proper Halo Infinite release date on December 8, but that's not all the devs have in store. They've confirmed that dedicated playlists are on the way this year, including a renamed iteration of SWAT, and a Social Slayer option is coming after the holidays. "We've been reading your feedback, and we're working on plans to add Fiesta, Tactical Slayer (SWAT), and Free-For-All playlists as we speak," community manager John Junyszek says on Twitter. "They won't land by December 8, but the team is pushing to get them in before the end of year". Fiesta was previously introduced as part of the Fracture: Tenrai event, and seemed like it was set to be a limited-time affair that would simply come and go along with that event. As Junyszek explains, however, "our goal for events is to try new modes prior to adding to playlists".

The Fortnite Chapter 2 end time is nigh Posted: 03 Dec 2021 01:08 PM PST December 3, 2021 Fortnite: Chapter 2 comes to an end this weekend. The pieces are all in place, and it's time to finally take on the Cube Queen. Fortnite Chapter 2 is about to draw to a close, but before the curtain falls on the battle royale game's second big 'chapter' arc, there's going to be another massive spectacle event, and here's when you can join in the fight. 'The End' event is what Epic is calling a "climactic event" in which you'll take on the Cube Queen herself in "one last stand for the fate of the island." It's scheduled to take place December 4 at 1pm PT / 4pm ET / 9pm GMT. Given how these things have gone in the past, you'll probably want to show up a little early, and 'The End' playlist will be available 30 minutes prior to the start of the event. You'll also be able to squad up with more players if you want to participate with a group of friends. The playlist supports parties of up to 16 players this time around, so everyone can come along. Make sure someone's set up to record, however - replays won't be available for this one-time event, and you won't be able to adjust any graphics settings once the event has begun, so get that all squared away ahead of time, too.

Forza Horizon 5’s latest patch fixes Horizon Arcade score targets Posted: 03 Dec 2021 12:07 PM PST There's a new patch out today for racing-themed open-world game Forza Horizon 5, and among the many fixes it's bringing with it are some welcome adjustments to Horizon Arcade's scoring system. From now on, your score target will scale based on the number of players participating in the session, which will make certain seasonal challenges much easier to complete - especially if you're playing solo. There are other fixes for Horizon Arcade, as well. The patch addresses a problem that led to members of the same convoy seeing different points totals on their screens, and it prioritises getting players into larger groups at the start of each event. You'll also have more time to get to an event: the patch increases the time you'll see an event circle on your map to ten minutes. Multiplayer isn't the only area that's getting turtle waxed in this patch. It also includes a few of the standard stability improvements and crash fixes, as well as a fix for incorrect button prompts when using a Logitech G920 steering wheel controller.

Oh no, it’s already time to start preparing for not-E3 2022 Posted: 03 Dec 2021 11:00 AM PST E3 is exhausting, and I think that's just about as true for fans as it is for those of us who have to work through it. But hey, videogame hype can carry us all through a lot. Well, brace yourself, because there are already concrete plans in the air for E3-adjacent events, as Geoff Keighley has confirmed that Summer Game Fest 2022 is in the works. "While we are hard at work on The Game Awards," Keighley says in a tweet, "I'm excited to share that Summer Game Fest will return in summer 2022. Stay tuned for more details!" Summer Game Fest was focused down to a roughly two-month-long collection of disparate events in 2021, centred on a Kick Off Live show in June. Announcements there included the reveal of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and the Elden Ring trailer. For now, though, Keighley's attention is on The Game Awards, scheduled to run on December 9. The award nominees have been announced, and teasers for the big announcements are starting to come in. View the full site RELATED LINKS: Steam FAQ, Steam family sharing, Steam in-home streaming

Why Dragon Age 2 is still one of the most accessible triple-A RPGs Posted: 03 Dec 2021 10:37 AM PST Of all the coming holidays, Dragon Age Day on December 4 might be the one series fans are looking forward to the most. Since players founded the event in 2018, the annual celebration of BioWare's fantasy RPG series has continued to grow. Last year, the studio even contributed to the festivities by releasing new short stories and previously unseen artwork - fresh crumbs of information for fans to devour in anticipation of Dragon Age 4 news. "The fact that our unofficial day is now marked and celebrated by BioWare itself is probably the best compliment we could ask for," Dragon Age Day founder Teresa M says. But the event isn't just a community celebration; it's an opportunity for fans to support inclusive causes they believe in. For the past four years, the founders and their fast-growing team of volunteers have run a tight ship, steering their passion for Dragon Age and its capacity to bring people together towards raising funds for charity. Co-founder Angela Mitchell says "We're proud to have involved dozens of Dragon Age celebrities, artists, devs, and writers, as well as expanding our message internationally, but we're proudest of the way our event gives back, raising over $30,000 USD for charity so far while boosting the call for greater accessibility and diversity in gaming."

In Victoria 3, you’ll need to convince your allies if you want to cut a peace deal Posted: 03 Dec 2021 10:19 AM PST After a series of diaries dealing with warfare, the developers of upcoming grand strategy game Victoria 3 have filled us in on how wars will end. That will happen either when one side capitulates, or if the belligerents can work out a peace treaty. The latest dev diary highlights some interesting points of departure from Paradox's grand strategy games to date, particularly with regard to who gets to dictate the terms of a peace deal. As is the case with Crusader Kings III, for example, wars in Victoria 3 are fought over 'pressed claims' and have specific war goals as objectives - usually, that's territory one side is trying to take away from another. In Victoria 3, you'll start with a high level of war support back home, but this value will erode over time, and it can drop faster based on factors like attrition, enemy forces occupying your territory, and economic impacts. If your war support hits -100, you're forced to capitulate. Whichever country has been designated the War Leader can instead opt to propose a peace deal to end hostilities before that happens, and Victoria 3 allows for a lot of creative freedom in crafting these treaties. You can create a treaty proposal that involves both sides ceding war goals to the other, but there's a catch: any of your allies that either holds a war goal or has one targeting them must also agree to the deal before it can be ratified.

Valheim is getting armour stands Posted: 03 Dec 2021 10:02 AM PST Valheim lets you craft armour. Valheim lets you craft bases. Valheim does not, however, let you craft armour stands so that you can actually display all your gear at your homestead. That's been a popular project for modders, but it seems an official solution is on the way, as the developers have been teasing it through social media. "Been working on a little something for you," Iron Gate's Jonathan Smårs says on Twitter, "just make sure you're on Santa's nice list this year! Not final but hope you like it so far!" You can see the attached video below, but it shows a Valheim character equipping a range of armour stands with various gear sets. There appear to be separate slots for head, chest, leg, cape, and held item gear, so you can show off your best swords and shields as part of a full gear set. Hopefully Smårs' remark about Santa's list means we can expect this update to land in time for Christmas.

Here’s where Xur is in Destiny 2 today – Beyond Light, but not beyond Xur Posted: 03 Dec 2021 09:14 AM PST Xûr is Destiny 2's Exotic gear merchant. He appears every weekend to sell the game's most coveted items in exchange for Legendary shards, but if you're a casual player with limited shards to spend, it can be hard to know which of his wares is most worth your investment. That's where we come in. As of June 12, 2020, it appears that Xûr is back to providing random rolls - so the Exotic merchant is providing more excitement than he has in a long time. Xûr appears every Friday at 9am PST / 12pm EST / 5pm GMT, and will stick around until the Tuesday reset. We'll update this guide shortly after he arrives, so if you're reading this, you need only read on to learn where he is, and which are the best items he's selling this week. Now we're in Beyond Light territory, but Xûr's first appearances have been at the usual spots - so maybe don't expect too many surprises from the merchant in the new year of Destiny content.

Here are the Destiny 2 Trials rewards this week Posted: 03 Dec 2021 09:11 AM PST Bungie's pinnacle PvP activity is back in rotation with a major revamp, and if you're looking for details on the Destiny 2 Trials rewards this week, you've come to the right place. Before you start working your way up through the ladder, you'll want to know what you're actually working for - so here's a breakdown of what's available each week, and what map you'll be playing on. If you're not familiar with Trials of Osiris, it's a weekly PvP challenge where you enter a competitive gauntlet of 3v3 elimination matches. Your rewards are now doled out with a reputation system, so it's not about pure wins anymore, but you will still get special rewards if you can manage to go flawless. Trials lands with the reset every Friday at 9am PST / 12pm EST / 5pm GMT, and lasts until the Tuesday reset at those same times. Each week provides a new set of rewards and a new map to play on, so here's what you can expect for the latest rotation.

The best Warhammer games – Warhammer 40K and Fantasy Posted: 03 Dec 2021 09:00 AM PST Games Workshop has a complicated history with licensed Warhammer games. The company has been quite reserved about it in the past - even despite some very high-profile successes in the early days - but even when it finally started to open the gates more generally it took a while for the quality to match the demand. Thankfully, things are getting better, and as things get better more Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 games are starting to appear that are worth checking out if you're fans of either of Games Workshops' iconic tabletop settings. With that in mind, we've compiled a round-up our top picks of games from fantasy land, as well as the grim darkness of the far future. We were going to keep it 50/50 but to be honest there are far less fantasy games than 40k games, and far more mediocre choices at that. We've also not strictly speaking gone for the 'best of the best', although most of these options are considered pretty good; we've chosen notable titles that are worth highlighting for more specific reasons as well.

Stylish tactical roguelike Fights in Tight Spaces has finally left early access Posted: 03 Dec 2021 08:55 AM PST Deckbuilding roguelike games might be a dime a dozen, but Fights in Tight Spaces has stood out since its debut in early access, thanks to a combination of stylish visuals and deep tactics. If you've been waiting for the final version before checking it out, though, you don't have to wait any longer - the game has just gone 1.0. You can grab Fights in Tight Spaces from your PC platform of choice, whether that be Steam, Epic, or GOG. Across all of those platforms it's available at a 10% launch discount, bringing the price down to $22.49 / £17.54 / €18.89 until December 9. If you've previously played the game in early access, the devs recommend starting a new save. New features for 1.0 include a new selectable character, a complete revamp for the final mission, new levels throughout the game, and achievement support. There are also a ton of bug fixes and quality of life improvements, but you can get the full details on those over in the official announcement. View the full site

Mars city builder Per Aspera gets new patch and an expansion next year Posted: 03 Dec 2021 08:23 AM PST Sci-fi city-building game Per Aspera is celebrating its first anniversary with a new update and a tease for another expansion coming early next year. There have been five major patches since the Mars colony management game launched last December, as well as the free Green Mars expansion that accompanied the most recent 1.5 update. Today's 1.5.2 patch brings some extra quality-of-life features, such as changes to resource scattering so that there are now a guaranteed number of each resource in a sector. There's a new easier difficulty option called 'Story' for campaign mode, and 'Playground' for the sandbox mode, with other levels apart from the hardest option getting renamed. In addition to today's patch, a beta for the next major revision - 1.6 - will hit Steam on December 16 and run through to December 23. This should include the first version of a multiplayer mode. "This is a very big system," developer Tlön Industries explains, "so we do not quite know yet when the update [will be] truly ready as a lot of fine-tuning, fixing, and potentially support systems are still required. This will just be a first look, to collect your feedback, test the systems, and see what we need to refine still."

Dark Souls fan sequel Nightfall will launch in January Posted: 03 Dec 2021 08:19 AM PST A group of seasoned Dark Souls modders has announced that its mod, Nightfall, will be launching January 21. Nightfall is designed to be a sequel of sorts to the granddaddy of Soulslike games, picking up right after the 'Darklord' ending. The team building Nightfall is effectively the Traveling Wilburys of Dark Souls modding, headed up by Daughters of Ash and Roguelike Souls creator Grimrukh, QuickSouls modder AinTunez, texture artist Mireneye, talented animator Meowmaritus, and several others. Grimrukh has described Nightfall as a "more ambitious" project than his past efforts, and while it's mainly "remixing" elements from Dark Souls, it seems clear that this will be a new experience even for veteran players. Initially, the team had planned on releasing Nightfall sometime this year, but the modders decided to take some additional time to polish up the mod when they learned that Elden Ring had been delayed into February. Fortunately, to make up for the slight delay, Grimrukh has released a new teaser trailer. It doesn't show off much, but it's suitably dark and moody. View the full site

MSI’s Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti gaming laptop lineup has leaked online Posted: 03 Dec 2021 08:16 AM PST Last month, we learned that mobile variants of Nvidia's RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti could pop up in 2022. While it's likely that MSI plans to reveal its laptop lineup at CES 2022, the company's hardware hand has been revealed, and it looks like eight RTX 3000 Ti-powered machines are on the cards. Spotted by reliable leaker Momomo_us, the RTX 3070 Ti and 3080 Ti will feature in both MSI's Raider and Stealth portable PCs, with Max-Q efficiency pushing some models into best gaming laptop territory. The spec list also mentions Intel's Alder Lake i9-12900HK and i7-12700H, an unannounced CPU lineup that comes armed with six Performance cores and eight Efficient cores. In terms of pricing, MSI's monstrous top-end RTX 3080 Ti model is listed for €4,768 (roughly $5,379 USD), while the cheapest RTX 3070 Ti machine comes in at €2,691 (around $3,035 USD). Localised versions of these products could come bearing different price tags, but the leak does give us somewhat of an idea when it comes to cost.

The best Battlefield 2042 SWS-10 loadout Posted: 03 Dec 2021 07:51 AM PST Want to know what the best Battlefield 2042 SWS-10 loadout is? Compared to most FPS games, attachments in Battlefield 2042 require a little more management. The plus system allows you to switch between preconfigured attachments in-game. Using this enables you to prepare for both close range and long distance encounters. Speccing your loadouts for the best Battlefield 2042 guns requires you to think about which attachments you need to equip in any given situation, taking into account the map you're playing on. The SWS-10 is a bolt-action sniper rifle, so it's best to use it at long range. However, this does mean that you need to manage bullet velocity when firing at faraway foes, so it takes a bit of skill to use effectively. Nevertheless, with a bit of practice, you can cause the opposing team some big problems. Once you have some experience with this gun, you can check out the SWS-10 loadout guide below, where you'll find which attachments complement each other and when you should switch attachments to get those crucial kills.

You can now see Minecraft’s faraway vistas more easily with pre-release 1.18.1 Posted: 03 Dec 2021 07:54 AM PST Minecraft's hefty 1.18 update is at last live, and there's plenty to wrap your head around. There's an overhaul to overworld generation, expansive new caves to explore, new biomes, and more to discover. Now, the first pre-release for 1.18.1 is here following the update's launch, and while it's not a particularly massive one, it does make one key change: that pesky world fog won't keep blocking your view anymore. Producer Adrian Östergård has shared the patch notes for the pre-release, which include only a handful of tweaks and tinkerings to Mojang's sandbox game, but one handy change to where fog generates relative to your character. "World fog now starts further away from the player, to make distant terrain more visible," the notes detail. So, you should be now be able to drink in those charmingly blocky vistas for miles. Well, from further away, anyhow. There's another fog-related change, too, which means it's now "applied as a cylindrical volume" rather than a spherical volume. So, erm, yeah. Big fog changes are coming up to Minecraft. View the full site RELATED LINKS: Minecraft console commands, Minecraft skins, Minecraft mods

Genshin Impact Ayato release date Posted: 03 Dec 2021 07:45 AM PST Want to know more about Ayato, the head of the Kamisato Clan coming to Genshin Impact? Kamisato Ayato is the Yashiro Commissioner and one of the new Genshin Impact characters. Although there are not many details on Ayato, we do know he is Ayaka's older brother and is also pals with Thoma. When Ayaka and Ayato's parents passed away, Ayaka became the forefront of the Kamisato Clan, while Ayato worked within the government. He also leads the Shuumatsuban, the ninja organisation that Sayu belongs to. We haven't seen much of Ayato around Inazuma, as he tends to operate behind the scenes - many Genshin Impact characters comment on Ayato's skills as a fighter, as well as his busy schedule as head of the Kamisato Clan. In keeping with his position as head of a secret ninja organisation, Ayato is a pretty secretive character, so while we've only been treated to glimpses of his character throughout Genshin Impact so far - here's everything we've managed to glean about Ayato. Although we know of Ayato's existence in Genshin Impact, he hasn't yet been announced by Mihoyo, and this guide is based on datamined information.

Valve’s finalised Steam Deck packaging comes complete with Portal Easter eggs Posted: 03 Dec 2021 07:41 AM PST Despite the Steam Deck release date being pushed back by two months, excitement for the handheld gaming PC remains high. In a move that should help soften the blow of the device's delay, Valve has shared the final Steam Deck retail packaging, and it includes a couple of Easter eggs that are sure to make Portal fans smile. The company has finished the DV (Design Validation) manufacturing build of the Steam Deck, which Valve describes as "the final prototype build before production. After this build, there will be additional minor changes in the final product". This DV build had to be completed before the final retail packaging (pictured below) couldn't be tested, but Valve didn't let procedure get in the way of having a little fun, as is evidenced by the Portal inspired safety labels along the side of the Steam Deck's cardboard box.

Apex Legends is getting a pirate-themed event for the holiday season Posted: 03 Dec 2021 07:18 AM PST The festive season is nearly upon us, so your favourite PC games are getting suitably merry to celebrate. That's mostly true for Apex Legends, though there are pirates here, too, because the recent map is a tad tropical. Apex Legends' Raiders Collection event runs from December 7-21, introducing event-limited cosmetics for Valkyrie, Loba, Revenant, Bloodhound, Pathfinder, Wattson, and Wraith to make them look like pirates - because that's what the festive season is all about. As it is the holidays, though, the Winter Express limited-time mode is making its grand return. The mode involves three squads trying to capture a suitably festive version of the World's Edge train. For the first time, though, you'll be able to pick your loadout before boarding the train. There's some good news for you Wattson mains, too, as the sparky Legend gets her heirloom next week. It's an energy reader with a screen that wouldn't look out of place on a Tamagotchi. There are some balance tweaks, too. To name one, Seer's Focus of Attention will now detonate quicker.

The best Genshin Impact Gorou build Posted: 03 Dec 2021 06:34 AM PST Want to know what the best Genshin Impact Gorou build is? The new Genshin Impact character Gorou is unique, and it's not just because he's a Geo bow user. Any damage done with his skills uses his defence stat, but for the best build, it's not worth raising his defence to astronomical degrees to make him more DPS-focused. Instead, he's best suited to supporting other Geo users. Why specifically Geo? It's all because of his elemental skills. Gorou's skills become more potent the more Geo users there are on your team. You only get the full benefits if you have three Geo users and one character of another element. It makes him fantastic at supporting the best Genshin Impact Itto build to ensure it deals the maximum damage possible. His skills also work well with the best Genshin Impact Albedo build since Albedo's abilities synergise with Gorou's nicely. Your final team member should be someone who can take advantage of the Crystalise Genshin Impact elemental reaction. Here, you will find the best Gorou build, including which weapon and artifacts you should give him, why you should unlock his fourth constellation, and what role he plays as a support in your team.
