     Under the Waves adds open-world wonder to Firewatch's gentle narration

Under the Waves is what you get when you take the melancholic, back and forth narration of Firewatch, mix in some open-world exploration, and plunge it several hundred metres below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean.

     Modern Warfare 2 brings back Call of Duty's most annoying weapon

The Modern Warfare 2 gameplay trailer seems to suggest that the most annoying weapon in Call of Duty multiplayer and Warzone will be making a return to Infinity Ward and Activision's FPS sequel, with the Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer beta set to launch later this month.

     Best Warzone guns: the top weapons for Season 5

Want to know what the best Warzone guns are? Warzone Season 2 Reloaded completely changed the battle royale game by unifying the Vanguard Royale and Battle Royale playlists together. This means players no longer have to use Vanguard weapons if they own any of the guns from Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War, and we're continuing to reap the rewards in Season 5. Rebirth Island has also gone through radical changes, adding new areas to encourage players to explore the map.

Picking out the best Call of Duty Warzone weapons can be difficult, especially with over 100 different options to pick from across three games. The latest weapons added to the FPS game are usually underpowered to avoid them dominating the meta early on, but we highly recommend unlocking every weapon as early as possible. Occasionally there are one or two weapons that manage to launch with completely broken stats, so it's worth keeping an eye on this page to find out which guns are currently performing well.

     League of Legends champion visual updates could take 20 years

League of Legends champions can vary quite wildly in how they look, not just in character design, but in how much care and technical expertise went into their creation. This puts some of the MOBAs champions in stark contrast with one another, especially when an aging model goes head to head with one of the shiny new releases.

A flagship Intel Arc GPU is coming "very soon," and the best graphics card contender will apparently take on the RTX 3060 rather than RTX 4000. The blue team desktop frontrunner, the A770, will launch alongside Arc A750 alternative, with both cards offering a ray tracing experience that's similar to Nvidia Ampere.

Left 4 Dead 2 Mobile sounds like a dream come true. Of all the ways to pass the time on a busy commute, or while you're camped outside your local game shop in protest of the disappearance of Half-Life 3, teaming up with three pals to once again tear through Valve's iconic survival horror game sounds like the best. But if you see it on the App Store, steer well clear – this is not the beloved FPS that you know from Steam.

     The best Grau loadout in Warzone

Looking for the best Grau loadout in Warzone? The Grau has taken a small hit in both multiplayer and Warzone lobbies, but is still a viable option. Why? It's incredibly accurate, has very high muzzle velocity, very low damage dropoff over long ranges, and is still mobile and fast enough to slay in close-quarters. It's versatile, deadly, and easy to use.

While we would opt for either to invest in the best Krig 6 Warzone loadout or the best FARA 83 Warzone loadout instead as the best assault rifle for Warzone these days, the Grau 5.56 is a top competitor. Of the many great Warzone guns, the Grau stands out as being arguably the easiest to use in all circumstances, with better recoil and - thanks to its high muzzle velocity and low damage dropoff - decent performance over long distances. Whichever of these ARs you choose for your Warzone loadout drop, make sure you use our setups for the best results.

This Grau 5.56 Warzone setup is designed to maximise the weapon's accuracy and ability to excel in long-range battles without lessening its effectiveness in close and medium-range engagements.

Playing settlement-building survival game Farthest Frontier has me planning a lot. I'm planning outposts to mine distant resources. I'm planning road and neighbourhood layouts to optimise movement and happiness. I'm planning defences to fend off bandits. But most of my thought is going on farming, planning my crop rotations to optimise fertility and yields. Finally, I have a use for everything school taught me about the three-field system and the nitrogen cycle.

The latest playtest build of the next in EA's Skate series appears to have leaked, continuing the pattern that seems to have been established for the game over the past few months. Footage from the build was shared by Reddit user Parzalai, who said they had been banned from their EA account for leaking a previous build. Modders have been running their own multiplayer servers based on leaked builds of skate. for months, so it's not surprising to see further leaks spring up from the game's playtests.

The sight of a two-carriage train is normally something that prompts a deep sigh of despair from me in real life. Nine times out of ten, it's a sign that something's gone wrong further up the line - that someone, somewhere, has sent out a train with half its usual number of carriages, and is therefore destined to ruin everyone's day in the process by cramming us all in like a pack of sardines.

In Afterburn's adorable train puzzler Railbound, however, two carriages are a cause for celebration. In a game that's about guiding numbered compartments onto the back of an engine (using a limited number of track tiles to get them there in the right order), two-carriage puzzles offer the perfect amount of cerebral head-scratching. They've got a bit more bite than simply guiding a single carriage to its destination, but they're not so complicated that they'll repeatedly make you reach for the hint button to help you fill in the gaps. Railbound has a tendency to be a bit too abstract in its later stages, but more on that in a sec. All you need to know right now is that there are plenty of smart ideas to wrap your head around here, and that you'll be grinning from ear to ear by the time you reach the end of the line.

Devil May Cry 5 V Devil Trigger statue

New statues based on the Devil May Cry 5 character V will appear. Prime 1 Studio has opened pre-orders for 200 statues of V in his Devil Trigger mode color. People can place an order at $1,299 with up to six installments after the first reservation deposit. The company will ship the finished products between December 2022 and March 2023.

V will not stand alone on this statue set, as Prime 1 Studio will also include his Familiar companions. Griffon and Shadow will appear fully detailed in the set. Nightmare's head will also show up on the statue's base with an eye that can shine brightly with LED illumination.

The package will also come with a Purple Orb that the owner can place separately. Unlike many other statues from the same company, this set will not have swappable parts or accessories.

[gallery columns="1" ids="934903" link="file"]

 

Prime 1 Studio has been producing statues of characters from Devil May Cry and other famous game franchises as the company celebrates its 10th anniversary. Earlier in August 2022, the company opened pre-orders for 1/4 statues of Dante and Nero in their EX color schemes. Unlike V, both characters use a variety of weapons, so their packages will also include multiple swappable armaments. Pre-orders for both figures—which are slated for release in limited numbers between April and July 2023—are still available as of this writing.

Devil May Cry 5 is playable on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. An enhanced Special Edition of the game is also available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

Dragon Quest Treasures Monsters

Square Enix has detailed how players will recruit monsters in Dragon Quest Treasures, including some that are "special monsters" unique to the game. In addition to helping players on the battlefield, each monster also has specific traits or "forte" that will come in handy while traveling. However, the rarer a monster is, the more difficult it will be to recruit.

Dragon Quest Treasures revolves around Dragon Quest XI character Erik and his sister Mia on an adventure to find treasure. After the siblings are transported to the land of Draconia, they enlist the help of the local monster population. Players do so by engaging in combat with the monsters. Once defeated, there is a chance that players will scout the monster. Once they've returned to the base, players can then choose to recruit these scouted monsters.

[gallery link="file" ids="934916,934915,934914"]

However, there are some requirements. Players may need to provide them with food ingredients as a "fee", which depends on the monster. Furthermore, monsters also have ratings from bronze to gold to rainbow, and recruitment difficulty scales based on the rarity of the monster. This may be a good payoff, though, as some monsters can carry more treasure, pick up certain items, and help you get to certain locations.

Finally, some of the monsters in Dragon Quest Treasures will also be "special monsters". Some of these special monsters are new to the Dragon Quest series. They make themselves home to various regions in the game and possess unique features.

[gallery columns="4" ids="934920,934919,934917,934918" link="file"]

Dragon Quest Treasures will release on the Nintendo Switch on December 9, 2022.

Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury - opening theme song is The Blessing by YOASOBI

Sunrise has published the second trailer for Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, which also revealed the upcoming anime show's theme song. YOASOBI's "The Blessing" will become the theme song that plays in the opening movies for the first few episodes of Gundam: The Witch from Mercury.

This second trailer features voiceovers for The Witch from Mercury characters for the first time. While the first official trailer in July 2022 showed some fight scenes between Mobile Suits, it did not have any voiced lines.

[tnm_video layout="mnmd-post-media"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBjzNiGSC3A[/tnm_video]

The Witch from Mercury will take place in the Ad Stella timeline, a new alternate universe separate from the Universal Century and other existing Gundam titles. This universe will have multiple corporations set up a large economic system in space. The story will focus on Suletta Mercury, a 14 years-old girl who comes from the planet Mercury to study at the Asticassia School of Technology. She will also be known for piloting a special Mobile Suit named Gundam Aerial.

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury will premiere on October 2, 2022. People living outside Japan will also be able to watch the anime's episodes via simulcast. The Prologue episode for the show is now available worldwide with Japanese voiceovers and subtitles in eight languages⁠—including English⁠—on the GundamInfo channel.

     Gundam EvolutionIt wasn't that long ago that Bandai Namco started releasing its big games on PC alongside consoles. When the company has a multiplatform title on the horizon, we can be sure that PC gamers will get their hands on it just like console players. But things are getting shaken up a little bit. The release date for Gundam Evolution is a whole two months ahead of consoles. For once, we're actually getting something much earlier, which is especially surprising considering that Gundam games have only started getting PC releases in the last few years. Weird, wild stuff.   No doubt you're itching to hop into a Mobile Suit and drive a beam saber through an opponent's reactor. Gundam Evolution is launching on Steam very shortly on September 21, while the game won't be showing up on consoles until November 30. While this obviously doesn't give us Gundam Breaker 3 (give us legacy titles, Bamco), it's nice to see a big Japanese company show this kind of...

The brainchild of developer Zen Studios and publisher Saber Interactive, it aims to scratch that itch if you're a long-time fan of Darkest Dungeon (or similar games). In some ways, Circus Electrique does manage to offer intriguing mechanics that make it stand out. Unfortunately, some of these don't necessarily translate to an enjoyable experience. Indeed, I often felt that some ideas were being thrown out there hoping that one would stick.   Steampunk London Circus Electrique takes place in an alternate Victorian-era London, one where the city is depicted in full steampunk flair. You take on the role of Amelia, who sets out to visit her uncle, the Ringmaster of the titular traveling attraction. Things take a turn for the worse, as hostiles known as "Vicious" start appearing out of nowhere. These are ordinary citizens, warped by some unexplained phenomenon that turned them into homicidal killers. While your character...
