How a substantial weapon rebalance has changed the meta. Keeping track of thebest Warzone weaponsis tricky since frequent updates change thecurrent metaevery few weeks. This means you might easily run around and scope in quickly, before pulling off a shot. The sniper optic is clean, and is easy to use, too. Still, if you play on Rebirth Island, this rifle will still be effective. The M16, whilst also affected by similar changes, doesn’t see a drastic change in the battlefield....

A delightfully regal statue of a deer. Yes, I’m still pretty upset about it. Yet I can’t seem to help myself. Yes, the cans of fuel can be burned. Yes, I’ll sacrifice the discarded suitcases and bags - I wonder who packed them? Where they are now? How did these bags get here? I want to cherish them. Because if I didn’t, Toe wouldn’t have anything at all. And more than anything, I feel Toe should havesomething....

My Silent Hill to die on. Each of its recent games have been genre defining behemoths many wouldn’t hesitate to call masterpieces. Whole genres live in the shadow of Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls, reshaped in their image. It does blind us to the gems the studio crafted before their cultural juggernaut came along though. Which is fitting since Kuon is a game all about resurrection. Like the approach to immortality taken in From Software’s more recent games, this process is horrific....

How Riot’s all-female esports programme is changing the game. Gradl is a Valorant player and member of the RIX.gg Lightning team. But slowly that’s changing andRiot’s Game Changers programmeis at the forefront. “Game Changers exists to combat these obstacles, it exists for women who are here to stay.” “It helps create a true reflection of our vibrant, diverse community,” says Wienken. The initiative has three aims: to educate, elevate, and engage....

Is it even safe to put your hand inside it? Maybe you’re not hungry any more. Oh you should have known! You saw their bookcase when you came in, you saw their shoe rack. Why can’t they just tidy it up! It begins with a wonky picture. A tinkling bell informs you you’re right. Then, you’re onto the next small mess, and that is how it goes. The joyful part comes in how it is all realised....

The Digital Foundry verdict. Welcome back toCyberpunk 2077, a game transformed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. In pixel counts that’s actually a range of between 2304x1296, up to 2560x1440 based on my testing. Indoors, it’s a different ball game, where sharp directional lighting can really demonstrate the upgrade. The effect is often subtle. In select spots though, shadows fully envelope a scene to create an obviously richer, deeper image....

Fake lore and order. Subreddits can be a fickle thing. That’s never been the case withElden Ring’s subreddit. At this point, you might expect things to take a turn for the worse. Instead though, the community did the unthinkable: they developed their own game. This entire concept sprang up from the outburst of “fake lore” on the Elden Ring subreddit. These bosses, characters, and game details were entirely fake, and the subreddit knew it....

From Elden Ring to a very strange restaurant. Then we realised how many pieces there were - cor, quite a lot. Elden Ring: Let’s start off with someElden Ring pieces. Here’s a look at theearly access test. And here’s ourfinal preview. Bloodborne Bloodborne next, purely because it was the next to come to mind. We were lucky enough to get Rich Stanton towrite the review. Martin wrote a piecedispelling some myths....

CD Projekt’s infamous RPG is a hot mess and a must-play. Both can be true at once. Writing anything good aboutCyberpunk 2077can feel a little like defending the indefensible. It is also, honestly, quite a good game. And those two things can be true at once! Playing around with the latest “next-gen” patch only brings it into sharper focus. you could have multiple apartments now. you’re able to change your hair....

That’s one odd looking giraffe. First, however, you need toclimb the Tallneck. To reach this location, you oughta head south-west from Barren Light until you reach a desert-like Cinnabar Sands. Aloy has returned in Horizon: Forbidden West! There are three machines to defeat in total - two Level 11 Scrappers and one Level 16 Skydrifter. We recommend defeating the Skydrifter first, because you easily lure it away from the two Scrappers....

What you should probably upgrade each pouch at least once and where to find materials. YourinventoryinHorizon: Forbidden Westis divided into differentpouches. What kind of pouches are in Horizon: Forbidden West? The higher the upgrade level for a pouch, the rarer the materials you need for the next upgrade. Aloy has returned in Horizon: Forbidden West! All you have to do is to set the resource you’re looking for as a job....

What levels mean in Forbidden West and how to raise them. Instead, you gain skill points every time you level up or complete a quest. With each level you gain and quest you complete, you get skill points. Expect the quests with high XP to have multiple parts. However, due to the limited number of machines you could overwrite, their number is understandably limited. Forbidden West has six skill trees - Warrior, Trapper, Hunter, Survivor, Infiltrator and Machine Master....
