     All Starfield console commands and cheats

What are the Starfield console commands and cheats? We've all been guilty of it. You get to the shop and see the perfect piece of kit for your spacefarer; an absurdly large rifle that runs on the power of friendship. But what's that? You're short on credits. Typical. Nothing a quick console command can't solve, though.

As mentioned in our Starfield review, this is one huge game. While it's always advised to play games like Starfield without these advantages the first time around, we won't judge if you want to use these console commands to instantly get the best Starfield weapons or shower your Starfield companions with your ill-gotten riches. Before you venture too far ahead, be warned that one of these commands reveals some late-game story information. Now, here's everything you need to know about Starfield cheats, every Starfield console command, and what they do.

     This promising Portal 2 mod wants to give it the expansion it deserves

This upcoming Portal 2 mod is already showing some promise, and I can't wait to see what the team involved has planned. Taking place 15 years after Valve's game and aiming to expand on the world it built, just this snippet of voice acting gets me all excited.

     The best game of the past ten years is now less than $5

What do you want from a videogame? As I look back across 2023, and all the big releases like Starfield, Diablo 4, and Baldur's Gate 3, it seems like exploration, freedom, and choice are the defining characteristics of today's popular PC hits. But there is another type of game - or rather, another approach to game-making - whereby your freedom might be limited in the literal sense, but the richness and depth of what you experience is just as great, or perhaps greater, than the most expansive RPG. Personally, I like shorter games where every single moment feels written, pored over, and choreographed. You might have played Amnesia The Bunker, or other entries in the superlative horror game series. Frictional's best work, however - and the best game of the last decade - is something different, and you can get it now for less than $5.

     Razer Viper V3 Hyperspeed review – a world class clicker

So many gaming mice currently ask you to pick just one feature that you really want to be perfected and then offer little attention to everything else. The Razer Viper V3 Hyperspeed is not like other mice. It doesn't want to just be light, responsive, comfortable, or quick, it wants to give you all of that and much more.

The Razer Viper line of mice has long been regarded among the best gaming mouse options, but the V3 Hyperspeed takes the lineage of this mouse and cranks everything up to eleven. An iconic shell design is pushed to its limits and Razer has no business pushing this much quality into a gaming mouse while still charging well under $100.

     Tower Defense Simulator codes November 2023

November 15, 2023: We added one new Tower Defense Simulator code to the list.

What are the new Tower Defense Simulator codes? And oldie but a goodie, this particular Roblox experience has been kicking around for years now. A mix of two very popular genres, even in the face of fierce competition, it keeps us coming back with big new updates, features, units, and seasonal events. And it's showing no signs of slowing down.

Assuming you're not sticking to just one Roblox game, you can find more freebies on our Blade Ball codes page. That's the latest experience to make it big on the platform. For more classics, Blox Fruits codes and Legends of Speed codes  are both worth checking out, too. It's like taking a crash course in the history of the platform's greatest hits.

     Looks like a Destiny 2 The Final Shape delay is inevitable

News surrounding a potential Destiny 2 The Final Shape delay is yet to come officially from Bungie, but a new line of text on the expansion's product page suggests that it could be pushed back. Originally set for launch on February 27, 2024, internal sources reportedly claim that this won't be the date we get our hands on The Final Shape after all, instead setting expectations of a release in June 2024.

     Nacon Revolution 5 Pro review – A price and performance mismatch

It's getting harder and harder to innovate in the gaming controller market and the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro does a great job of assembling some of the most sought-after features - and an entirely new one in Hall Effect triggers - but slaps on a premium price tag that doesn't quite match the initial value. 

Taking price out of the equation, the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro has a suite of features that should have it mixing among the best PC controllers on the market, but in overestimating just how game-changing the gamepad is, Nacon is potentially leaving customers with a hard decision to make. Take the features, performance, and longevity of the Revolution 5 Pro, or save on the initial cost but make a shorter-term choice.

     New Steam game is Cyberpunk 2077 meets Smite, with Genshin's YaoYao

In the neon-bathed world of Cyberpunk 2077, the Gods and Goddesses of ancient times feel pretty archaic. Where technology reigns supreme and myth has been banished to the annals of history, imagining a mashup of CDPR's Night City and Smite's fantastical setting is pretty difficult - unless you're the team at Volutian Design, that is.

     Is Fall Guys on Steam?

Is Fall Guys on Steam? Now our favorite battle royale is free-to-play, it does change where you can play it on PC. When Fall Guys launched back in 2020, it was available to purchase via the Steam platform, but now it's free-to-play, it is an Epic Games exclusive, here's what that means for its future on Steam.

It's good news for those that purchased Fall Guys on Steam before it moved platforms, as you can still play and access Fall Guys via Steam, and it will continue to receive updates and support on this platform. If, however, you didn't, you can download Fall Guys for free on the Epic Games Store.

     Is Escape from Tarkov available on Steam?

Is Escape from Tarkov available on Steam? Battlestate Games' looter shooter has attracted plenty of attention lately thanks to streamers trying it out on their popular channels, making Escape from Tarkov the top Twitch game for a spell of time. Searching for Tarkov on Steam doesn't bring up any results, but there are rumors the game might arrive in the future. We are curious as to whether Escape from Tarkov is going to be available on Steam when the game fully launches.

The game is still in a closed beta state, and you can access it by pre-ordering Escape from Tarkov through the developer's website. As such, the battle royale game is only playable through a special launcher. There are four bundles available for pre-order but fear not as access to the closed beta is available through all of them. Don't be surprised if the next Escape from Tarkov server wipe occurs before the game hits Steam.

     Cities Skylines 2 has lost 70% of its players already, but that's okay

The Cities Skylines 2 Steam player count has dropped 70% since the new building sim's launch just three weeks ago on Tuesday October 24. On the surface, that may be cause for alarm. Especially given the complaints and concerns regarding CS2's performance and technical troubles, and some further issues with roads, traffic, and pedestrian behavior, it might look like Cities Skylines 2 is doomed to be abandoned. An examination of the data however, when compared to the original Cities Skylines, suggests Colossal Order and Paradox's latest might be doing just fine.

     Diablo 4 Living Steel Chests finally get much-needed buff

Diablo 4 Living Steel has become Sanctuary's hottest commodity of late. An essential part of summoning new endgame boss Grigoire, The Galvanic Saint and, in turn, Uber Duriel, they're only available during the time-gated Helltide events, and even then are pretty rare. In the wake of player feedback, Blizzard has unveiled a new Diablo 4 hotfix that increases their drops and solves issues with chests phasing.

     What time does Destiny 2 reset?

What time is the Destiny 2 weekly reset? As a premier live service game, one of the main ways that Bungie keeps players coming back to Destiny 2 is with its weekly reset of their activities. These typically offer a content refresh across the game's various planets, raids, and dungeons, along with minor bug fixes and changes to address outstanding player concerns.

The reset often includes new seasonal mission content or updates to existing in-game activities for players who own the seasonal content. And, with ongoing weekly updates to Nightfall, the Crucible playlist, campaign missions, in-game activities, and bounties, there's more to track than ever. The Destiny 2 weekly reset takes place at the same time each week. There's often some server downtime around the reset, so you should note that you might get an error code when attempting to log into the game precisely at that time. Once the reset begins, you'll have a full week to explore all the changes before Bungie rolls out another set of changes on the same day and time the following week. Here is when Destiny 2 players can expect the reset in the free PC game to occur each week.

If you happen to be a medieval monk illustrator trapped in the body of a modern videogames enthusiast, you might like Howl, a turn-based strategy game from Lion Song and Flower Collectors studio Mi'pu'mi Games. It's powered by what the developers are calling "living ink", an art style that fills in each papery map as you play.

The game certainly looks arresting: your cursor is a quill, the HUD is a collection of smaller parchment scraps, and the terrain is a slowly brightening wash of swirling colours, leaking beyond the outlines of trees and buildings. Lovely stuff. And what's more, you get to beat up a bunch of wolves.

Larian's king wizard (CEO) Swen Vincke is very eager to tell you about the studio's next game after Baldur's Gate 3. And also, a bit terrified, because after all, the response to Larian's D&D adaptation has been rather rhapsodic. How on Earth do you replicate that level of success? The answer may lie in scripture.

     Ruby In Return To MoriaIn the Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, you'll need to grab a Ruby to construct better weapons to fight off the tougher Orcs and Uruks that lay ahead. Precious gems such as these haven't been needed before, so you may be confused as to how to get them. Getting Rubies in Return to Moria Rubies are precious gems in Return to Moria, and are therefore pretty tricky to get. Unlike semi-precious gems, you can't get them as a by-product of mining ores. Instead, you've either got to find them, or spelunk pretty deeply. I found the vast majority of my Rubies from looting Orc Chests found in their little encampments. If you're having difficulty defeating the Orcs due to your low-tier weapon, then I'd suggest a hit-and-run tactic, where you destroy the totem and flee. Without the totem, the Orcs won't spawn back, and the Orc Key and Orc Chest is yours to loot. Screenshot: PC Invasion If you want...
