     The best RTS games on PC in 2022

It's impossible to overstate how enjoyable RTS games can be. There are few things as satisfying as building up an immense army and simply washing over your foes like a river over stones, erasing their existence as effortlessly as a click. If you're looking for a broader list of the best strategy games then we've got a separate list for that - this one's all about real-time, where you can't hide behind the safety of turn-based strategy's pace.

Starcraft and Age of Empires largely define the genre, but indie games like Northgard and Driftland have shown there's plenty of other voices to be heard. There's also plenty to celebrate in games that are technically real-time, but not strictly speaking considered 'RTS'.

The rise of MOBAs has challenged the RTS scene quite significantly over the past decade, but this hasn't stopped some worthy games rising to the top ranks to earn their own place the hall of fame. Here's our take on the best RTS games on PC, though we're skewing more towards newer releases because, honestly, we all know how good Homeworld was by now.

     Half-Life co-op is back thanks to new Steam FPS game Abiotic Factor

It's no secret that we love Half-Life around here - but, while Half-Life 3 might still be a pipedream, Abiotic Factor promises to offer the Half-Life co-op game of our dreams on Steam. This 'sci-fi survival adventure' from Deep Field Games makes no secret of its influences: from moment one of the announcement trailer, the inspiration drawn from Gordon Freeman's original 1998 adventure for this multiplayer FPS game is immediately apparent.

If you are looking for the Genshin Impact Garden of Endless Pillars domain, chances are you have been wandering to the west of The Dune of Carouses. Here, several invisible walls are blocking you from picking the nearby flowers. But, as it turns out, those flowers are vital to solving a puzzle to open this new domain that appears for the first time in the Genshin Impact 3.1 update.

Of course, like most puzzles in the open world game, the Genshin Impact Garden of Endless Pillars domain puzzle is slightly convoluted, requiring a little bit of pattern recognition and observation to raise the chamber nearby and open its doors. However, if you're here, you likely just want to know how to get in, so let us walk you through the puzzle.

     FIFA 23 stadiums list: every ground in the game

With 105 FIFA 23 stadiums and locations on offer with this year's iteration of the football game, it's safe to say that you won't be without new places to explore as you lead your team to glory. EA has added five new stadiums to FIFA 23 before it loses the governing body's licence next year, leaving some locales potentially up for grabs in the everlasting struggle with Konami's eFootball.

Whether you're getting stuck into FIFA 23 Career Mode, Pro Clubs, Ultimate Team, or Volta, there are plenty of grounds to choose from. Bang in goals at the Stretford End of Old Trafford with one of the many FIFA 23 Icons or use some FUT Heroes to set records at Wembley, here are all of the FIFA 23 stadiums in this year's game

When does Overwatch 1 end and when is the Overwatch 2 preload time? These are likely to be the questions on the lips of fans of the Blizzard FPS game. Widely hailed as one of the best multiplayer games on PC during its first years, the first Overwatch has slowly seen a drop-off, stagnating with a lack of new hero and map releases as the development team poured their focus into the sequel. Now, the Overwatch 2 release date is almost upon us - but before we get there, the first game will be shutting down early in preparation.

     FIFA 23 ratings: the top 100 players

The FIFA 23 player ratings will make sad reading for fans of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo - both are on the decline after their moves to PSG and Man Utd, respectively. FIFA 23 will mark the first year in a long time that they don't top the rankings of high-rated players in the football game, with Kylian Mbappe's reign just beginning.

Karim Benzema had an absolute barnstormer in the 21/22 football season and deservedly takes the top spot. The '91 club' is shared by a mix of youth and experience, something that will no doubt become more evident as the season goes on and the breakout performers get in-forms. It's worth noting that this list of the top 100 players doesn't include FIFA 23 Icons or FUT Heroes, some of which completely eclipse the ratings of these gold players.

This act's Valorant Night Market is now underway. For those who don't know, the Night Market is another way players can get weapon skins for their favourite Valorant guns outside of the usual bundles or offers. This is a bespoke set of offers on a random set of six weapon skins, so the discounts available will be unique to each player - but they only last a couple of weeks.

The Valorant Night Market features skins from select, deluxe, and premium collections that released at least two acts prior to the one the market opened in, and it won't feature skins from battle pass or agent contracts. Exclusive and ultra skins are also omitted. Here's everything you need to know about the current Valorant Night Market.

     GTA podium car: here's what vehicle you can win in GTA Online

What is the GTA podium car this week? GTA Online vehicles are expensive things, so we're happy to take a spin on the Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel to get a discount. Winning isn't guaranteed, sure, but it isn't out of the question either. Look, we don't have a problem - leave it alone.

Finding out what the GTA Online podium car is simple enough - it's winning it that's the challenge. You can spin the Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel once a day, and each Podium Car refreshes after seven days on a Thursday. Basically, you have seven shots to get the vehicle of that given week. If you own a Penthouse, you can spin it for free, but if you don't it's $500 a spin. Don't fret if you don't win, as you can try for something else.

You have a one in 20 chance of getting the podium vehicle, a car discount, or a mystery prize. There's a four in 20 chance of getting clothes, chips, and cash. Finally, there's a five in 20 chance of getting RP. On that note, here's everything you need to know about this week's GTA podium car.

Wild Hearts

Koei Tecmo and EA have revealed Wild Hearts, a new hunting action game set in a world inspired by feudal Japan. And according to the game's official reveal trailer, it'll get its chance soon. Wild Hearts' release date falls on February 17, 2023. Word of the game first dropped during the 2022 Tokyo Game Show. At the time, Koei Tecmo announced that it was working with US-based publisher Electronic Arts to create a new hunting game. It's being developed by Omega Force, creators of the Dynasty Warriors titles and Koei Tecmo's own Toukiden hunting series.

Check out the Wild Hearts reveal trailer below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxcnwH8TPEg

 

Wild Hearts takes place in Azuma, a fantasy region that is part of the "Far East". The land is imperiled by the rampaging of powerful "Kemono" (Japanese for "beast"). The beasts devastate the wilderness in their struggles over territory, making Azuma unlivable for humans. The Kemono have designs inspired by real and fantastic creatures, including a giant boar that sends roots and branches sprouting out of the ground when it attacks. Another squirrel-like beast is able to grow a blossoming tree with its tail. The wolf-like Deathstalker is covered in frozen branches, and the ape-like Lavaback spouts flaming debris from its hide.

Check out some screenshots from the game in the gallery below.

[gallery columns="7" ids="936447,936448,936449,936450,936451,936452,936453,936454,936455,936456,936457,936458,936459,936460,936461,936462,936463" link="file"]

Players, however, have an advantage, the "Seed of Invention" that makes it possible to use tools and weapons to go head-to-head against the massive creatures. In gameplay terms, this seems to take the form of a rapid building mechanic, where hunters are able to use "Karakuri" technologies to create structures, gadgets, and fortifications. One player constructs a tower of wooden cubes to climb and jump off from using a wooden lantern that deploys into a helicopter-like glider device. Another creates a device that swings a massive hammer to knock down an airborne beast. Another tower acts like a harpoon gun, tying down a beast and immobilizing it. Still others modify the players' weapons themselves, like a katana that deploys jagged electrical spikes or a transforming bow.

Wild Hearts is in development and releases on February 17, 2023 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Kirby character encyclopedia is now available

The Kirby Character Encyclopedia is now available for purchase. The book is currently only available in the Japanese language. However, people living outside Japan can also purchase and gain access to the book, which is available for 1,650 yen (approximately $11 with Japanese 10% tax included).

Amazon Japan is selling the book in physical and digital formats—the latter is readable via Kindle. It can also ship the book to countries outside Japan. The digital ebook is also available for purchase on the Japanese BookWalker store.

HAL Laboratory and Kadokawa initially revealed the encyclopedia in July 2022. The companies teased that the book contains information about over 1,000 characters that appeared across all 35 Kirby games released to date. Preview pages of the book confirm that it also includes details from the series' latest mainline entry, Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

The encyclopedia groups the enemy characters into categories like regular enemies and bosses. It also lists the Copy Abilities that Kirby can take from them.

The extensive character encyclopedia is one of the numerous celebrations that HAL Laboratory prepared for the Kirby series' 30th anniversary. The company held a music festival with a global online stream in August 2022. It also announced a Blu-ray remastered release of the 2001 anime Right Back At Ya! that will appear in Japan in Winter 2022. Good Smile Company also joins the celebration by releasing a Nendoroid figure of the eponymous protagonist.

The Kirby Character Encyclopedia is now available in physical and digital formats in the Japanese language. Kirby and the Forgotten Land came out on Nintendo Switch worldwide in late March 2022. Nintendo has sold over 4 million units of the new game as of June 2022.

     There's a moment in John Wick after the titular badass has decimated several attackers who made the idiotic mistake of invading his home. With bodies littering the floor and blood soaking into the carpet, Wick makes a call to contacts from his previous life. Minutes later, a clean-up crew arrives to drag the corpses away and freshen the place up. It's the job of unsung heroes (?) and has frequently made me question if such a thing exists in other action movies. How often do we see a building full of bodies left behind after an action sequence? Surely they don't just get left there, right? Even in real life, do the mob have cleanup crews that hide the evidence? According to Serial Cleaners, the answer is yes, and they're so damn good at their job they can even clean up a crime scene while the cops are are busy investigating it.
