PCGamesN Friday, December 9, 2022 7:44 AM  What are the most relaxing games you should play to help you de-stress? Sometimes we don't always want to end a long, busy day being taken out by sweaty teenagers in Warzone 2 or being scared silly by the jump scare horrors of Callisto Protocol. Instead, there are times when all we want to do is nestle into our cosy gaming thrones with a cup of tea and a nice chill game to help us forget our stresses and strains. The calming games we look for in these moments shouldn't be too taxing on your grey matter. Nor should they be too loud, action heavy, or reliant on the lightning-quick reactions you'll need to succeed in competitive multiplayer games. An easy, melodic soundtrack should slowly draw you into a charming world that deserves to be savoured, not rushed through. If you fancy a break from the more anxiety-inducing games in your library, then melt into one of the calming games in this list. With our selection of puzzle games, adventure games, and more, you'll dive into the deep blue ocean of Abzu, experience the therapeutic satisfaction of really cleaning something in Powerwash Simulator, or even relax with friends in Tetris Effect. Let's just say, when it comes to the kind of relaxing games you should try, we've got all bases covered.

PCGamesN Friday, December 9, 2022 7:53 AM  Giving Midnight Suns gifts is a great way to forge alliances and raise your friendship level. Having a team that works together effectively is vital if you're planning on defeating Lilith and her army of Fallen. As your friendship level rises, so do your rewards, and, eventually, you'll be able to unlock Abbey upgrades for you and your team. If you want to unlock the Midnight Suns costume for every hero, you're going to have to max out your friendship level with each team member. While the bulk of this is achieved by running missions together and hanging out in the Abbey, you need to utilise gifts to get the most out of your time together.

Instead of the usual 12-day cycle of the Valorant Night Market, Riot Games are celebrating the end of 2022 with four weeks to claim your new weapon skins.

PCGamesN Friday, December 9, 2022 7:27 AM  Want to know about Valorant ranks and how the ranking system works? Riot's Valorant has an ascending ladder of titles to sort the player base by ability. Whether you're starting out as a lowly Iron or maintaining your dominance as a mighty Immortal, if you play Valorant competitively your life is governed by the ranking system. Like all competitive FPS games, Valorant has a couple of different ways it measures ranking progress and the overall rating of players against each other. Each player has an overall Valorant rank, but there's also a dedicated 'Act rank' for each act. On top of that, there's also a concept called 'rank rating', which is connected to MMR. Here is everything you need to know about Valorant ranks, the current rank distribution, and competitive play.

After being hinted at via a trademark filing during the first half of 2022, the MMORPG game was officially announced by during TennoCon 2022.

Well, we're not certain it'll be called The Sims 5, but EA has officially unveiled its next Sims game: Project Rene. We've been playing The Sims 4 for eight years now, and while the life sim is kept fresh by Sims 4 cheats, CC packs and even sex mods, we're desperate to see a new addition to the series.

PCGamesN Friday, December 9, 2022 7:40 AM  So, you want to know who the best Rainbow Six Siege operators are? This is a very complex shooter - perhaps one of the most intricately designed multiplayer games being played right now. The depth comes from numerous places: the destructible environments, the design of the maps, but primarily from the unique gadgets, stats, and loadouts offered by each of its playable operators. We have been training with the elite troopers in order to find out which operator is the strongest. Owing to the game's asymmetric multiplayer gameplay, Rainbow Six Siege operators come in two flavours: attackers and defenders. Currently, there are 60+ Rainbow Six Siege operators to unlock and use in the game. We update this list of Rainbow Six Siege operators regularly to best reflect the game's live meta, so rest assured these really are Tom Clancy's finest operators and we'll update this guide when the new season rolls around. New Rainbow Six Siege operators drop with every season, and you can unlock them early by buying into that season's battle pass, or wait until they're available for general release and use your hard-earned in-game currency. This is earned through completing matches and ticking off daily challenges, so it is good to know which ones to snap up first in order to make collecting the remaining operators even faster.

Part of the fun of Dragon Quest Treasures is getting the chance to scout, then recruit, new monsters for your party. (It seems like something we've been doing a lot of this year.) "Catching" a new one for your team isn't as simple as tossing a ball at one after weakening the creature. However, it's still rather easy to bolster your forces via recruitment in Dragon Quest Treasures.
How to Scout Monsters in Dragon Quest Treasures.Honestly, you can end up drawing recruits just by fighting monsters as normal in Dragon Quest Treasures. When you fight any monster in a standard encounter, there's a chance they might like you enough to show up at the Trans-Draconic Railway hub. You'll see a notification on the right side of your screen after the battle saying the character you fought "has been scouted." However, there is a way to try and improve the odds. One of the pellets for your screenshot is called the Buddy Bullet. Mr. Euston will give you a few to complete an orc recruiting quest that is part of the Mutual Cooperation main quest. However, you can also find these items outside of this initial gift. For example, the Station Shop's Pellets section will sell them for 500G each. These don't guarantee a monster will be scouted after a fight. They do increase the odds, though.
How to Recruit Monsters in Dragon Quest Treasures.This part involves a bit of gathering and a trip back to your Trans-Draconic Railway base. Once you've gotten enough scouting notifications or need to drop off treasure at your hub, you can check in with Miss Cecily. She is the pink suit of Lethal Armor in the main building. When you speak with her, you can see all of the candidates and the "fee" required to add them to your team. This could be money or an item. The game will let you know if you can recruit with a "Fee Ready" notice below a monster's portrait. The portrait also shows their level, and it is possible to check for more information. If you don't like a candidate, you can decline them with the minus button. If you like a possible recruit, but don't have the items for the fee yet, you can use the plus button to "keep" them around for when you do. Dragon Quest Treasures is available on the Nintendo Switch on December 9, 2022. The post How to Recruit and Scout Monsters in Dragon Quest Treasures appeared first on Siliconera. |
