PCGamesN Wednesday, April 5, 2023 7:56 AM  As with all games, Cyberpunk 2077 had content cut by CD Projekt Red.

PCGamesN Wednesday, April 5, 2023 7:18 AM  While The Last of Us PC is facing a rough time on Steam, thanks to shader loading times, booting errors, and an official 'unsupported' label for Valve's Steam Deck, the Naughty Dog horror game finally has a new hero in the form of Mandalorian and TLOU HBO star Pedro Pascal, as the man who launched a thousand memes replaces the bearded, greying face of the original Joel via a new The Last of Us mod.

PCGamesN Wednesday, April 5, 2023 7:16 AM  The best sniper games are all about perching on top of a building and punching holes through bad guys from a mile away with the help of a high-calibre rifle. Whether it's the challenge of compensating for bullet drop, or the simple pleasure of watching a group of enemies descend into panic as you pick the hapless goons off one by one - the best sniper games thrive off moments like these. Sadly, there aren't many FPS games that focus solely on making the player feel like the ultimate ghost warrior, but there are a huge number of sniper games like Counter Strike Global Offensive with realistic sniping mechanics to satisfy that itchy trigger finger of yours.

Hoyoverse's follow-up to Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd is almost here, blending together open-world and turn-based mechanics with anime aesthetics to create a different type of anime game. At a first glance, Honkai Star Rail should look familiar to Genshin Impact players as the devs have decided to stick by their tried and tested formula.

Set in the fictional country of the Republic of Adal, Al Mazrah's metropolitan area plays a massive role in Warzone 2, setting the stage for you and your squad to dominate the competition. The developers want to unify the Call of Duty experience in Al Mazrah. This means any story beats and engine upgrades in Modern Warfare 2 also apply to the battle royale game.

PCGamesN Wednesday, April 5, 2023 6:58 AM  Looking for the best Yelan build in Genshin Impact? Yelam was introduced back in the Genshin Impact 2.7 update and has remained a key character on the roster. Yelan is a Hydro bow user and her attacks scale with HP - when using the correct set of artifacts, she's capable of dealing deadly amounts of damage. The best Genshin Impact Yelan build will need the right set of weapons and artifacts that make the most of her charge attack, elemental skill, and burst to build her into a lethal sub-DPS character. It also helps she has a killer passive ability, which means there are many candidates for the best Yelan team composition.

PCGamesN Wednesday, April 5, 2023 6:36 AM  The best Warzone 2 shotgun might not immediately spring to mind when you think about the sprawling Al Mazrah and its high, long-distance vantage points. Still, you may be surprised about just how well it might serve you. After all, the map is dense with buildings, and you're likely to run into an opponent tucked into the corner of a room eventually. You will also certainly get more up close and personal once the storm circles close in. The best shotgun in Warzone 2 is the KV Broadside. With an exceptional rate of fire, this shotgun can decimate foes at close range in the battle royale game. However, we'd certainly recommend running Overkill so you can accompany your shotgun with one of the best Warzone 2 guns - ideally one with a bit more range.

PCGamesN Wednesday, April 5, 2023 6:16 AM  Looking for the best open-world games on PC? From the early days of gaming, with Ultima and Lords of Midnight, open-world games have always been right at home on PC - indeed, those pesky consoles often couldn't handle it. Compare the ambitious early version of Halo to the final, more confined result, for example - and only the PC could hold sprawling regions in the very first Elder Scrolls games. Nevertheless, the leap into full 3D with Grand Theft Auto 3 and The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind really brought the idea of open-world gaming to the masses. These days, open-world games are their own genre separate from single-player MMOs. You can find accurate depictions of real-life cities or countries, huge fictional expanses with their own landmarks, complete worlds to check out - or even entire galaxies, depending on where you want to go on your next adventure. Not only are these the best open-world games, but a lot of them show up in our best PC games list, too.

Ideal for pushing a wounded enemy, these lightweight guns may not carry a long effective range, but when you're up close, you'll decimate the opposition.

While we're still a way off the next season, there are plenty of potential new inclusions to get excited about. While season 16 of the free PC game revamped the way each Legend is categorised with the improved class system, it didn't introduce a new character.

With a busy four days in Boston for PAX East, mine and Liam's brains were basically mush last week, so Rebecca - an absolute angel - graciously said she could host a special PAX East episode where she chats with Liam and me about the indies we saw on the show floor and try desperately to string together a coherent sentence. She also made bulletpoints of our entire chat so writing up the shownotes would be easier; we do not deserve her. Saying that, our exhaustion doesn't stop us from kicking up a riot over the BAFTA Game Awards at the start of the episode.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, April 5, 2023 6:00 AM  A belated apology to anyone who was assaulted by a sudden burst of upbeat bagpipes in the GDC press room the other week. I was having an early sneak peak at Inkle's new game A Highland Song in an appointment booth with paper-thin walls and no ceiling. The speakers on my Steam Deck demo unit were really going "full pipe" that day, so I'd like to say a big awkward sorry to any of my neighbours in there who were trying to conduct actual serious business interviews. But also: A Highland Song is 100% a game that deserves to have its music cranked up to full, whether it's returning Heaven's Vault composer Laurence Chapman's soaring orchestral score, or Scottish bands Talisk and Fourth Moon's aforementioned folk music. The clue's in the name, after all, and after a spirited 30 minutes with it, I'm certain this will have Inkle fans singing from the hilltops. |
