PCGamesN Wednesday, November 29, 2023 1:54 PM Ark Survival Ascended has had its fair share of controversy, from players concerned about its poor performance to others wondering why the remaster wasn't simply a free upgrade for those of us who already own the original, Survival Evolved.

PCGamesN Wednesday, November 29, 2023 12:03 PM Looking for the best rhythm games on PC? There are few things in life better than music, so obviously there are even fewer things in life better than music and rhythm games. Music evokes more emotional responses than any other and usually does so within a few short minutes. Games can make us feel things over time, but music is often much more immediate. With that in mind, we've put together a list of the best rhythm games around, that are guaranteed to stay with you long after the last note plays. From 2D indie games with a solid beat to lightsaber-wielding VR games, our list of the best rhythm games spans all genres. Some can teach your how to play a particular instrument, while others allow you to repurpose your own music library. We should also mention that Tetris Effect was considered for the list but arguably doesn't make rhythm its focus, so it misses out. In any case, you really should play Tetris Effect. Seriously.

PCGamesN Wednesday, November 29, 2023 7:15 AM It's a horrible cliché, and I feel like I'm about to age five years just by typing it, but I do miss the '90s. This was the golden era of the FPS, when Doom, Half-Life, Hexen, Heretic, Quake, and all the rest mixed swarms of enemies, ultra-smart level design, and supremely big guns to pioneer a new genre. Nowadays, we have the lovingly observed boomer shooters, throwback games that capture the spirit of the grunge decade, like Dusk and The Last Exterminator.

Larian Studios announced that Patch 5 for Baldur's Gate 3 will contain an epilogue. It's the latest of many announced features coming with the next patch, which also aims to address some major issues with the game's third act.
While Larian has not provided a lot of details on the epilogue, we do know that it will be coming as part of Patch 5 for Baldur's Gate 3. Based on the announcement image, it's likely that it will feature new scenes of the party reminiscing on their adventures at camp following the end of the game. While Withers is pictured wearing a party hat, it's unknown if the scenes will involve an actual party.
It's not the only thing confirmed for the next Baldur's Gate 3 update. One major addition will be a fix for a serious bug that's been causing slowdowns for players in Act 3. A statement released to IGN detailed the exact problem. Following a fix in Patch 4 that prevented Scrying Eyes in Moonrise Towers from instantly calling guards on you when stealing, all acts of theft or vandalism remained in limbo in the game's memory. As the player reaches Act 3, these acts become so stacked that it causes slowdown issues. This glitch and a problem with "Astarion's little kisses" are among the issues addressed in the new patch.
Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 5 currently doesn't have a release date, but Larian has confirmed that it will be including with the retail edition of the Xbox release. The release date of the Xbox version will be announced at The Game Awards 2023.

EarthBound creator Shigesato Itoi spoke about the possibility of an official localization of Mother 3. As part of an interview for a new documentary called EarthBound USA, Itoi stated that he would love for people in the West to play the game, but there were complications with the localization. [Thanks, IGN!]
The EarthBound USA documentary documents the Mother franchise's cult status in the US. It also touches on the development of the game's popular fan translation. The documentary team's interview with Itoi marks the first time he has spoken about the desire for Western fans to play an official localization. He remarked that the fan translation was offered to Nintendo, but they turned it down, stating it "wasn't quite as simple as that." Despite his interest in seeing a release for Western fans, he has no interest in returning to the project personally as he has moved on.
Itoi's interview is the latest comment from an official source about the state of any official Mother 3 localization. Producer Shinichi Kameoka, previously told Nintendo Everything that he would love to see it happen. Meanwhile, former head of Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aime, told Bloomberg that Nintendo had little interest in a US version of the game due to the transition to the DS hardware at the time.
While Mother 3 still has no official release outside Japan, its predecessors, EarthBound and EarthBound Beginnings, are playable as part of the Nintendo Switch Online library.

Inner Sloth announced that people can now dress as characters from games like Celeste, Undertale, and Untitled Goose Game via a new Among Us crossover Cosmicube. The Indie Cosmicube is available for 7,000 Beans until February 28, 2024.
This Cosmicube works like others in Among Us. You play through matches and earn Beans for your performance. That can be used to buy this Cosmicube from the menu. Once you activate it, you can then work your way toward earning cosmetic items based on seven other indie games. The official summary noted this adds 6 pets, 9 visors, 12 nameplates, 18 skins, and 25 hats.
Here's the full list of all the Among Us Indie Cosmicube crossover cosmetics from Inner Sloth's announcement:
Alien Hominid
Castle Crashers
Celeste
Crypt of the NecroDancer
A Hat in Time
Undertale
Untitled Goose Game
It isn't uncommon to see a crossover in Among Us. Hololive Vtuber-inspired cosmetics appeared in the game back in 2022. That cost Stars, rather than Beans, so people needed to pay to get the items.
Likewise, we've seen Among Us references and crossovers in other games. In particular, there are Among Us stickers in A Hat in Time.
Among Us is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Switch, PC, and mobile devices.

The Kingdom Hearts Missing Link closed beta started on November 29, 2023, and we've started to hear about battery life drain. Aitai Kuji CEO Audrey Lamsam stated an example of what the early build did to her battery online.
Here's Lamsam's impression from the first day of the closed beta. Note that this is based on an early, in-progress build. Part of the purpose of said tests is to obtain information on performance, and the state of the game will likely change between now and the final build.
As a reminder, Kingdom Hearts Missing Link is an augmented reality game like Pokemon GO, which means the nature of it running on the system can affect the battery life and drain it at an increased pace. This is due to the geolocation element tapping into a person's real-world location as they move around to complete objectives in the virtual world.
As a reminder, only the iOS Kingdom Hearts Missing Link closed beta test is running at the moment. That will continue until December 8, 2023. The Android one is also on the way. However, that won't start until an as-yet-unspecified date in January 2024. Only about 3,000 people are being picked to play, with 1,500 participants on each platform.
Kingdom Hearts Missing Link will launch for Android and Apple iOS devices in 2024.

The Monster Hunter Rise Sonic the Hedgehog DLC and collab quests with Universal Studios Japan and Sengan-en are about to disappear. Capcom announced that the quests that allow people to obtain the items will be delisted on January 21, 2024.
This means people need to download all of the associated quests ahead of the distribution date. So ahead of the cut-off, folks need to head into Monster Hunter Rise, with or without the Sunbreak expansion, to grab the event quests. In the base game, this involves making sure your game's software is up to date, then checking with Senri the Mailman. Once you download them, you can access them at any time via the Gathering Hub Event Quest section. As long as you acquired them, they'll be around even after the delisting.
There are six specific Monster Hunter Rise Sonic the Hedgehog, USJ, and Sengan-en DLC Event Quests and Palicos being removed. Here's what you need to know.
Monster Hunter Rise and its Sunbreak expansion are available for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. The collab DLC distribution will end on January 21, 2024.

Level-5 announced its next showcase to go over titles at the end of its November 2023 one, with one new game being announced. Level-5 Vision 2024 will be held sometime in April 2024.
CEO Akihiro Hino brought it up after a "what's next" section. He noted it would be called "To the World's Children." The logo for that features a smiling ghost behind it. No exact date was announced for it beyond April 2024. He did confirm that it would go over 2024 titles and announce a new game.
That new Level-5 game seemed to be teased for this showcase. Prior to Hino discussing it, there was a hint at a new Yo-Kai Watch game. It featured a spirit possessing a maneki-neko while a version of the series' theme song played. It then featured the year 2024 behind that brief animation. You can see the character in the image below.
You can see the announcement at the end of the showcase below.

During the Level-5 Vision 2023 II presentation, it was revealed that Level-5 will move the release date window for Decapolice to 2025 in order to improve the quality of the game. The showcase announcing the move in its release date showed off concept art for various locations in the world of Decasim.
The reason for the move to a post-2024 release date for Decapolice is due to the fact that the game has large open world with plenty of unique locations to explore, and the development team wishes to create an immersive world for players to explore. In order to accomplish this task, Level-5 decided it would be best to shift the game to sometime after next year.
Decapolice follows Harvard Marks, a prodigy detective at Broadstone Police Department, as he investigates crimes in the virtual world of Decasim. Decasim is a perfect copy of the real world but is filled with the memories of crimes of the past and present. Alongside his friends and companions in the Special Investigations Unit, Harvard will need to investigate these virtual crimes and engage in RPG-like battles to take down criminals whose malicious intent has transformed them into Crime Beasts.
You can watch the showcase below. Decapolice appears at the very end.
The game was first revealed at the February 2023 Nintendo Direct as a Nintendo Switch game, but it was later revealed to be releasing on Sony consoles as well. Story and gameplay details were given an extended reveal at the Level-5 Vision 2023 Tsuzumi event held in March.
Decapolice will come to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 in 2025. It was originally planned for a 2023 release date.

For fans of basketball games, you may want to add this to your list. NBA Playgrounds takes a different basketball angle Today, Saber Interactive has released NBA Playgrounds, an arcade basketball game in collaboration with the NBA. If you're expecting a serious experience faithful to that of real NBA games, then you may be disappointed. But I'd still suggest you check it out, as it is rather fun. NBA Playgrounds is unlike the other basketball experiences that you can find on Roblox. Opting for more of an arcade theme, you'll be playing 2v2 matches with only one hoop. Well-modelled characters that you play as each have their own abilities, so there are strengths and weaknesses for each one. There is also a card pack mechanic, which will surely be enticing for the younger audience. Image via Saber Interactive Related: A Roblox pl... |

While the game has been confirmed to release on PC via Steam, console players are wondering if they're going to get to join the action within The Day Before. Will The Day Before Release On PS5 and Xbox Series X? It's rare to see survival games like The Day Before released on consoles, simply due to the technical demands and the in-game features such as server browsers that developers often don't want to port to consoles. So it makes some sense that when The Day Before was originally delayed earlier in the year, its developers also stated that the PS5 and Xbox releases of the game are delayed for the foreseeable future.
