You have to deal with every wonderful aspect of living in the Middle Ages, from slave revolts to secret murders. Norland mirrors RimWorld in many ways, as it contains elements of serious strategy gameplay and unforgiving city builder mechanics.

PCGamesN Wednesday, June 7, 2023 11:03 AM  What is the Amnesia The Bunker map? The latest iteration of Frictional's horror series takes place inside a claustrophobic WW1 bunker, and while it often feels claustrophobic, it's easy to get lost while navigating its twists and turns – especially with a supernatural monster at your heels. We've scoured every inch of the bunker and pinned all the key item locations on While Amnesia The Bunker does include an in-game map, you can't bring it with you as you set out to your objective. It also doesn't have any annotations to give you some idea of where to go next in your search for key items.

PCGamesN Wednesday, June 7, 2023 9:53 AM  Which League of Legends skins are currently on sale in the store? LoL is a free-to-play game in the truest sense - you can enjoy everything the MOBA has to offer for absolutely nothing. Now if you were to ask a seasoned League player if that were true, they'd probably have to stifle a few tears as they check just how much their bank account has suffered buying skins since they started battling on the Rift. Riot rotates a series of skins in the store, with the savviest of us holding out until the cosmetic they really want ends up in the discount section store or even the League of Legends Mythic shop. The shiny new cosmetics are only available for a short period of time, so make sure you act fast if you want to snag the new hotness.

But don't fret because we've prepared this guide explaining what you should do in each boss fight you face in the Aetherfont dungeon.

So, learning beforehand what each boss does in this MMORPG and how to solve the mechanics can make the experience of playing the game more enticing. On the other hand, you should always remember that if the game is stressing you out, take some time off and follow the advice given by FFXIV Yoshi-P, the game director, and play other games as well.

If you don't, the new Legend Lost Sectors will not appear on the map. Each day, the location, modifiers, and rewards rotate out for something new. While many Exotics can be bought from Xûr or even in the world loot pool, the Destiny 2 Exotics in these special Lost Sector instances cannot, forcing players to explore these dangerous areas if they want the best equipment available. It's important to remember that exotic drops are not guaranteed after completing these quests, so you may have to run through the same Lost Sector multiple times. You can go through the quests in the free PC game with a fireteam, but your rewards will be reduced to Enhancement Cores only. Continue reading What is the Destiny 2 Lost Sector today?

PCGamesN Wednesday, June 7, 2023 7:43 AM  How does the Diablo 4 loot system work? While we know that Diablo 4 has beautiful gothic scenarios, sprawling plains, and fast-paced action in a dark fantasy world, it's the collection of bigger and better loot that's the real core experience here. The system has changed a lot since Blizzard's new RPG game was announced. You should learn all you can about how you can get the best gear. Because of how weapons and armor have been designed for Diablo 4, players need to farm enemies and look for better loot so they can take the most out of the skill tree. Not only are some skills tied to specific types of weapons, but legendary equipment can modify skills. If you're looking for a way to make the most of the best classes, then you're going to need a good set of equipment.

PCGamesN Wednesday, June 7, 2023 7:33 AM  Should I savage or sell in Diablo 4? This in-game mechanic has lots of useful benefits - not least clearing out your inventory after a long and tiring day ridding Sanctuary of evil. During our own time in Sanctuary, the blacksmith has probably been our most visited townsperson, and we're well acquainted with their salvage service, so here we detail everything it offers. The blacksmith isn't just limited to salvage, as they can upgrade your favorite weapons as well. However, the salvage service they offer is by far the most useful in the Diablo 4 early game and is necessary to farm some of the materials needed for upgrades. If you only plan on running one of the Diablo 4 classes or best Diablo 4 builds, you can also salvage items you pick up that your class can't use, and get some purpose from them. Perhaps the best use for salvage though is to obtain new wardrobe items, allowing you to wear one piece of armor or jewelry while displaying the look of another. Here's everything you need to know about Diablo 4 salvage. Continue reading Diablo 4 salvage or sell explained MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Diablo 4 builds, Diablo 4 review, Diablo 4 classes |

With shaders, you can instantly level up the look of your Minecraft world - even without a fancy schmancy RTX graphics card. But with so many downloadable mods for the sandbox game, if you're unsure, let's start with what Minecraft shaders are. One of the best PC games of all time and the ongoing king of sandbox games, Minecraft has incredible replayability, keeping fans and newbies coming to the game time after time. While the vanilla game gets regular updates, with the Minecraft 1.20 release date coming later this year, Minecraft mods, texture packs, resource packs, and shaders can completely reinvent the game, affecting its overall look. For example, mods can completely alter gameplay, and Minecraft texture packs and resource packs change the appearance of existing blocks and add new blocks, respectively. Meanwhile, shader packs give you the same game with fancier graphics and effects.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, June 7, 2023 11:15 AM  The development of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has already been a bumpy ride. Publisher Paradox stated they were "happy with progress" on the game in 2021 following a switch in developers (whoever they may be) and delay after delay, but a new announcement from Paradox today has some a little worried. "We want to provide the best value to those of you who supported us via digital pre-order," the publisher said in a statement posted to its official blog. "We are thus offering refunds to anyone who has pre-ordered any edition of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2." |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, June 7, 2023 9:23 AM  As well as it runs on your average desktop PC, it wasn't until I began playing Diablo IV on the Steam Deck that its demon-thwacking really clicked for me. Largely because this was my first experience of it with gamepad controls, and using thumbsticks and face buttons to move and toss out spells just feels more... I don't know, direct? Like I'm actually controlling my Necromancer and her boney bodyguards, not just clicking a unit and watching their animations. It helps that Diablo IV's Steam Deck performance is surprisingly spry, with fast 45-60fps framerates within reach even when leaving the majority of graphics settings on Ultra quality. Unlike all of the other best Steam Deck games, there's no native support for its Battle.net launcher, but with some resourcefulness, that needs only be a temporary barrier. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, June 7, 2023 8:00 AM  Some games adapt to VR more naturally than others. Games that take place primarily in a cockpit, like Elite Dangerous or Euro Truck Simulator 2, need relatively little adjustment to make them enjoyable in VR. They don't require the player to move around much, and their whole shtick about providing an authentic, immersive experience. Games that require a lot of fast movement, or require the player to keep track of a lot of different objects, are generally harder to make work through VR Goggles. Hence why Amid Evil VR caught my attention. Shooters are common VR fodder, but they're typically built as VR experiences from the ground up. Amid Evil, on the other hand, is a flatscreen retro shooter designed to be reactive, surreal, and above all, fast. It's a game where you zip around arcane dimensions like a magic missile, splattering weird little armoured guys with enchanted swords and a staff that fires planets. It's a brilliant game, one of the best old-skool shooters to emerge from the genre's revival. But on paper, it's about as VR friendly as Morpheus. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, June 7, 2023 6:44 AM  Tetris is grand, but it could do with more chainsaws. Thus (presumably) went the thought process of the developers behind Dr. Fetus' Mean Meat Machine, a Super Meat Boy spinoff about lining up colourful meaty blobs while dodging buzzsaws and other grizzly hazards. Think Tetris meets match 4 meets Meat Boy slapstick.
A demo came out in April, but publishers Thunderful Games have just announced you'll get to play the full thing on June 22nd.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, June 7, 2023 6:06 AM  Everyone's favourite hunny-yellow bear will mutate into a fleshy horror bristling with extra arms and eyeballs and glands in Winnie's Hole, the next roguelikelike dungeon crawler from Ring Of Pain developers Twice Different. The earliest Winnie-the-Pooh stories are no longer under copyright in the US, see, meaning people can do whatever they want. Including this. Inevitably including this. Come see the horrible Pooh and his hole in the announcement trailer below. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, June 7, 2023 5:20 AM  Out of all the roguelike deckbuilders that have followed in Slay The Spire's footsteps, Wildfrost is my second favourite. The cardplay never quite reaches the dizzy heights of Spire or Monster Train, but it's far cuter than either of them and still absolutely splendid. Now's a great time to pick it up, too, because its first big update is primarily aimed at clarifying rules to help new players avoid all the painful deaths I suffered through.
Developers Deadpan Games have released a roadmap, too, revealing a rough plan for what they're working on next.

Capcom Taiwan announced Mega Man x Dive is ending on mobile devices and the PC via Steam, however, the Nebulajoy Mobile version on Android and iOS devices will continue running for the moment. The game will cut-off on September 27, 2023, though it is already no longer possible to purchase the real-money Element Metal. Leading up to the end, people will get one True Favorite Capsule per day that contains an S-rank character and Elemental Metal Supply Box and Dark Code Coin daily. [Thanks, Game Watch!] Here's the official announcement from the Rockman x Dive Twitter account, which included a brief video. It confirmed the September 27, 2023 cut-off date.
The YouTube video offered an English translation. And here's the confirmation that the mobile global version will still keep running.
The game is a blend of a typical Mega Man platformer and gacha. You can get additional characters and go through stages. This also meant more obscure characters could appear, or we'd see different versions of iconic individuals. Mega Man x Dive's Android, Apple iOS, and PC service will end on September 27, 2023, though the Nebulajoy version will remain running.

An Elden Ring tabletop RPG adaptation will appear in Japanese retail stores and digitally on June 20, 2023. The book costs 6,050 JPY (or roughly $43) and Kadokawa will publish it. The TTRPG will be comprised of three different volumes, and they will come packaged in an A4 size box. These will be a general rulebook, a skill and sheet book, and a enemy and scenario book.
