Some of the major issues arrived with the wants and fears addition in the life game's free update and require more work from the development team to fix.

Following in the footsteps of the base game, Outriders Worldslayer expansion has had a bit of a tough launch: players have complained that Worldslayer is too focused on buildcrafting and doesn't add enough new story content.

     This Stardew Valley mod is making a splash – literally

A popular new Stardew Valley mod aims to fix a small, but pervasive absence in both the base version and the life game's modded expansions: water reflections. If you're like me, you might not have noticed the lack of reflections in the pond, lake, or ocean as you walked by or casually cast your fishing line. There's things to do, Jeff Bezos to topple, and marriage partners to win over with the persistent offloading of trinkets, after all. Having seen PeacefulEnd's Dynamic Reflections mod in action, though, it's hard to imagine going back to a reflection-less valley.

A free Resident Evil Village update is releasing alongside Village's Winter's expansion on October 28 and will add several accessibility options, Capcom announced on the official Resident Evil Twitter account. The update is, admittedly, a small one, but it adds some welcome options indeed. Chief among these is the ability to change subtitle sizes, colors, and backgrounds without using RE Village mods, which is handy considering how much of Village's early game unfolds out in the snow. It's hardly the best setting for deciphering small, white font, which is often difficult to piece together at the best of times.

     Elden Ring mod adds DnD style classes with powerful perks

If you love the classic fantasy archetypes of traditional RPG games, a new Elden Ring mod that adds a DnD style class system complete with unique perks might be just the thing you're looking for. The mod adds eleven custom talismans to the open-world game, each tuned with balance changes and passive talents that emulate the flavour of a different traditional fantasy class.

The Rings of Talent mod, created by Maxilos33 and Chelarino, adds eleven of the titular rings - although they are treated in-game as talismans - each of which represents a different classical archetype inspired by settings such as Dungeons & Dragons. Currently on offer are Assassin, Barbarian, Mage, Monk, Paladin, Priest, Ranger, Spellblade, Swashbuckler, Tank, and Vampire.

Each of the classes features its own unique benefits and detriments, and in most cases comes with a specific talent that causes the class to stand out. They also have their own lovingly-written spot of lore to help emphasise the spirit and identity of the class.

Cities: Skylines has the mechanics, the rigour, the detail – it feels like you're an architect and a city planner. But it lacks, if you like, the flavour. Laying roads and digging foundations is all well and good, but it's not exciting like lasers, robots, and a flying city – like BioShock. So this is where Sphere – Flying Cities comes in, a dystopian, sci-fi building sim which effortlessly combines those seemingly disparate games, and now has a new trailer and confirmed release date on Steam.

     YouTuber details Starfield Creation Engine 2 improvements

It looks like Starfield Creation Engine 2 improvements are set to make the mammoth space game a showcase for Bethesda's overhauled engine. Creation Engine 2, which is set to be further expanded on for future titles including The Elder Scrolls 6, has been much anticipated after a decade of games built on its predecessor. Now, one Starfield fan has highlighted some of the key advancements the new technology offers.

YouTuber Colt Eastwood digs into the wealth of Starfield footage Bethesday showed off and compares it to that of Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76 - the games Bethesda built on the previous Creation Engine. The engine was built from a fork of the prior Gamebryo engine used for the likes of Morrowind, Oblivion, and Fallout 3.

While the team at Bethesda developed and improved on the engine over the years alongside each new release, its distinct visual style has often been the butt of jokes - especially its rather stiff animations and the so-called "Bethesda face" effect of characters staring awkwardly into the camera during one-on-one conversations.

     Best Multiversus Finn perks and combos

Want to know what the best Multiversus Finn perks and combos are? He's an assassin-type character, specialising in zipping in to deal damage at opportune moments before dashing out to safety. His move set also gives him plenty of relentless ground-based combos, a trait usually found in bruisers. As a result, he's one of the best characters in the Multiversus tier list.

Using the best Multiversus Finn perks and combos, you can launch enemies high into the sky, making them vulnerable to follow-up juggle attacks. However, he's also a glass cannon and relatively light, so if you're not careful or well-prepared, you may suffer a ring-out due to an exceptionally hard-hitting blow.

Want to know everything about the mangrove tree in Minecraft? While Mojang Studios teased a swamp update in a Minecraft biome community vote at MineCon 2019, we instead got an entirely new swamp biome in the Minecraft 1.19 Wild update. The Mangrove swamp introduces a range of cool new things, from the addition of adorable Minecraft frogs to the ability to craft houses with Minecraft mud blocks.

The main new feature of the Mangrove swamp, though, are mangrove trees. Adding a seventh overworld wood to the building blocks in your arsenal, mangrove trees can be grown from propagules, a unique type of sapling. The distinctive traits of mangrove trees don't stop there, though, as they also grow atop tall, winding roots through which you can navigate a boat with a chest, taking in the mysterious and beautiful swamp atmosphere. So, here's everything you need to know about these water-dwelling trees, the swamp that surrounds them, and how to cultivate your own mangroves from scratch.

SATA SSDs are getting increasingly affordable, with even capacious 2TB models going down in price rapidly as NVMe drives approach parity with the slower SATA drives. This makes it a good time to pick up a SATA drive for desktops or laptops that can't accommodate another M.2 drive, especially for media or game storage where the speed difference between SATA and NVMe is minimal.

Today, Teamgroup's imaginatively-named T-Force Vulcan Z drive is down to $128 for a 2TB model, the lowest price we can find for this size at present.

Note that to get this price, you do need to be an Amazon Prime member - normal folk you like and me will see a price of $160 instead, alongside a reminder to 'join Prime to save $32 on this item'. You should be able to join Prime under a free trial, order the item and then cancel your Prime status to avoid a charge.

Dell's G15 is one of the most affordable gaming laptops on the market, thanks to modest specs and Dell's willingness for aggressive discounts, but today we're seeing an RTX 3050 model go for an astoundingly low £441.

To get this price, select the Ubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS operating system and use VOUCHERCODES8 at checkout. Linux is a completely free operating system, unlike Windows, so you can knock £50 off the purchase price just by ticking this box - and of course, you're free to install Windows 10 or 11 afterwards. Keys for Windows 7/8/10 work on Windows 11 too, so you probably already have a key lying around - or you can pick up a new one for less than £50 online. The whole process, from using the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool to prepare a USB install drive to reaching the desktop, only takes around 20 to 30 minutes - well worth it!

Guilty Gear Strive perfumes - Sol Ky Ramlethal Jack-O

More perfumes inspired by Guilty Gear Strive characters have appeared in Japan. Fairytail Parfum has released a new wave of eau de parfum bottles in the country. The new perfume lineup consists of Sol Badguy, Ky Kiske, Ramlethal Valentine, and Jack-O.

This is not the first time Fairytail created perfumes for Sol Badguy and Ky Kiske. The perfume producer released their perfumes in 30ml bottles in July 2021. While it still uses the same ingredients as before, it packs the new perfumes in larger 50ml bottles.

In the meantime, Fairytail also created new combinations to produce Ramlethal's and Jack-O's perfumes. Here are the ingredients used in the new Guilty Gear Strive perfumes:

  • Ramlethal's perfume: Red thyme, jasmine, and peony at the top; powder, white freesia, and lily of the valley in the middle; white musk, suede, and spice at the bottom.
  • Jack-O's perfume: Fragrant olive, yuzu, and jasmine at the top; iris, apricot, and magnolia in the middle; musk and cedarwood at the bottom.

Fairytail Parfum did not limit its product lineup to Guilty Gear Strive's playable roster. It also released a couple of perfumes inspired by Dizzy and Elphelt Valentine. Both of them appeared as playable characters in the preceding Guilty Gear Xrd series, but Arc System Works has yet to add either of them to Strive.

Guilty Gear Strive is available on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC, and arcades. In June 2022, Arc System Works released a large update patch that adjusted the gameplay balance for existing players. It is now working on a cross-play patch that connects PC players with PlayStation users and the second Season Pass that adds more playable characters.

Yakuza series PS Plus

A new Yakuza saga began with Yakuza: Like A Dragon, but Sony wants to let PS Plus subscribers have a chance at seeing the whole series. The Yakuza series will join PS Plus at the Extra and Premium tiers in 2022. That means 8 games, including Yakuza: Like A Dragon, will be available to PS Plus subscribers.

The one wrinkle is that the exact selection of the Yakuza series on PS Plus varies depending on the subscription tier. The offering starts in August 2022, with Yakuza: Like A Dragon. It's part of the PS Plus August 2022 slate, and is available to all PS Plus members from Essential tier up. The rest of the games in the Yakuza series are split across PS Plus Extra and Premium tiers.

Extra tier subscribers gain access to Yakuza 0Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza Kiwami 2, and Yakuza 6: The Song of LifeYakuza 0 is a prequel to the series, taking place in the 1980s and showing how Kazuma Kiryu earned his reputation. Yakuza Kiwami is an enhanced remaster of the original PS2-era Yakuza, using tech and gameplay based on Yakuza 0Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a remake of Yakuza 2, but based on the gameplay and graphics of Yakuza 6Yakuza 6 is the last game in the Kazuma Kiryu saga, and sees the Dragon of Dojima become a foster father.

Subscribers at the Premium tier of PS Plus get the remaining Yakuza series games in remastered form later in 2022. Yakuza 3 Remastered, Yakuza 4 Remastered, and Yakuza 5 Remastered are all exclusive to the PS Plus Premium tier. Unlike the Kiwami titles, the Remastered Yakuza games are more straight ports, and don't incorporate significant changes to gameplay or story. Yakuza 3 Remastered, though, features all the content that was cut from the original localized release of Yakuza 3 on PS3. Back then, the Yakuza series was unpopular and Sega deemed it infeasible to localize a number of activities and substories, opting to cut them to bring the project to a more manageable size.

Here's a full listing of the games per tier. Each tier includes the offerings for the tier below.

  • PS Plus Essential
    • Yakuza: Like A Dragon (PS4, PS5)
  • PS Plus Extra
    • Yakuza 0 (PS4)
    • Yakuza Kiwami (PS4)
    • Yakuza Kiwami 2 (PS4)
    • Yakuza 6: The Song of Life (PS4)
  • PS Plus Premium
    • Yakuza 3 Remastered (PS4)
    • Yakuza 4 Remastered (PS4)
    • Yakuza 5 Remastered (PS4)

The Yakuza series joins PS Plus starting in August. The games are all available sold separately, and the Yakuza Remastered titles are available as a bundle.

     Ubisoft work culture logoLast year, a group of current and former Ubisoft employees known as "A Better Ubisoft" wrote an open letter condemning the company's degrading work culture. Written in solidarity with Activision Blizzard employees dealing with similar issues, the letter specifically brought up Ubisoft's history with sexual harassment as well as its unwillingness to address these problems. Details regarding this work environment surfaced as far back as 2020, and the letter expressed disappointment over the continued prevalence of these problems a year later. Well, another year has gone by since that letter came out, and according to A Better Ubisoft, the company has done little to improve its work culture. Back in 2020, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot made comments promising to "ensure that everyone…feels welcomed, respected, and safe." Last year's letter noted that Ubisoft employees "have seen nothing more than a year of kind words, empty promises, and an in...

Developer Fatshark has announced that Warhammer 40,0000: Darktide has been hit by another delay, this time pushing the game until the end of November. Previously, Darktide was held back due to in part to difficulties brought about by the pandemic. This time, Fatshark revealed it needs more time to get things fine-tuned. In the meantime, the studio is preparing for pre-launch betas you can sign up for today. Fatshark announced the news of Darktide getting delayed in a Twitter post earlier today. Calling it one of the "most difficult decisions a developer faces," the CEO, Martin Wahlund, writes that the studio requires a bit more time. Stability and performance are among the key items on the team's to-do list before release.   "While we have been humbled by the great feedback on the game so far, we also need more time to improve stability, performance, and to mature key systems," Wahlund writes in...

     Unrailed Screenshot Epic Games StoreEpic Games Store users can treat themselves to Lawn Mowing Simulator this week. It's a game that tasks the player with, well, mowing a lawn. While Lawn Mowing Simulator is a riveting experience for those interested, next week's free game may interest some people a little more. For the next free game going up on the Epic Games Store, we've got Unrailed. If you've ever wanted a co-op game about railroad construction across a procedurally generated world, then this is the one for you. The concept might sound a bit strange, but Unrailed from developer Indoor Astrounaut offers a fun cooperative experience. It goes live on the Epic Games Store on August 4.   Building a railroad one track at a time Unrailed takes on a simple, block-based style that gives players an isometric view of their railroad.
