PCGamesN Monday, April 22, 2024 7:02 PM  Before Ubisoft put out Anno 1800 in 2019, the series had already firmly established itself as a major presence in its genre. The first three entries to a building and strategy game titan that rivals the likes of Tropico 6, Civilization 6, and Stronghold launched in 1998 (with Anno 1602), 2002 (Anno 1503), and 2006 (Anno 1701) before the most recent entry arrived. While the original versions of those games are a bit tricky to go back to, all three have also been remastered as 'History Editions.' Even better, they're all massively discounted on Steam right now.

PCGamesN Monday, April 22, 2024 5:35 PM  Fallout Shelter was a decent enough concept but hampered by its execution. The idea that players would enjoy a full game that takes The Sims and Two Point Hospital or Planet Zoo's simulation design and boils it down to the more simplistic management approach of XCOM's strategy layer or a game like This War of Mine is a smart one, though Fallout Shelter was let down by its F2P design. Now, however, indie studio RodentGames has picked up the idea, reworked it through a fantasy framework, and put the result out as a game called Artificer's Tower that's currently available at a discount on Steam. |

HoYoVerse has revealed the gameplay details for Alexandrina Sebastiane, or Rina, who'll be one of the playable characters in Zenless Zone Zero. She'll be a member of Victoria Housekeeping Co.
Rina will be an Electric character who can act as a supporting character when she provides buffs. She fights using two dolls, Drusilla and Anastella. While Rina can technically support anyone, she works best with other Electric Agents or Victoria Housekeeping Co. characters. This is because she can increase the duration of their Shock effect, and so long as Shocked enemies exist, she can increase how much Electric DMG everyone does.
As for how you'll want to use her on the field, she's similar to a sub-DPS or off-field support in Genshin Impact. After using her Skill to deal damage, she can increase other squad members' PEN Ratio. While that effect is active, you can switch to another Agent to deal extra damage for the entire squad. However, this only lasts until Drusilla and Anastella return to Rina.
Zenless Zone Zero is an upcoming HoYoVerse game that'll combine hack 'n' slash combat with grid exploration elements. Like in most gacha games, you'll be able to collect characters from various factions and explore New Eridu, as well as the Hollows that appear in it. There may be some changes to the final product depending on feedback from beta tests, though.
Zenless Zone Zero will come out on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices.

The 1/4-scale statue has interchangeable parts, which can be used to change Cammy's pose. In the showcase itself, as well as on Twitter (X), Prime 1 Studio shows off different ways you can display the statue.

Tsun Scoops announced on social media that it will sell types of SaGa Emerald Beyond ice cream. The promotion will begin on April 25, 2024, and it lasts for one week.
There will be two flavors inspired by the series in stores for that week. One is called Mr. S'cellent Lemon Meringue Pie. It is inspired by the yellow monster teacher who is a mainstay for the series. (Mr. S returns in this installment as a move tutor and for a training challenge.) That tastes like lemon pie with marshmallows. The other flavor is Emintrald Wave, a cookie, brownie, and mint ice cream. Both will be available at the store at 13137 Brookhurst St in Garden Grove, California.
There will also be some SaGa Emerald Beyond merchandise based on the game when you make a Tsun Scoops purchase. There will be sticker spoons based on the game and its characters. Buyers also get a postcard with art from the game. The online shop doesn't show any of the items yet.
It is becoming more and more common to see restaurant or store tie-ins with recent game releases. For example, Sprinkles is selling cupcakes based on the Honkai: Star Rail character March 7th. We saw an Insomnia Cookies partnership with Square Enix for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth before that. There have also been meals inspired by the Like a Dragon and Yakuza series at some restaurants.
SaGa Emerald Beyond will debut to the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices on April 25, 2024. The demo is available now on the PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC. People can get SaGa Emerald Beyond ice cream at Tsun Scoops starting on April 25, 2024, with the promotion ending on May 1, 2024.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, April 22, 2024 6:29 PM  Ritual Ashes of the Sker Hotel is a tricky map full of twisting passages and cryptic puzzles. If you're struggling, let me help you with our Sker Ritual Ashes of Sker Hotel guide: Full walkthrough and all objectives. How to complete every objective in Sker Ritual: Ashes of Sker Hotel Sker Hotel is brutal to navigate, so expect the story to take a few goes until you've familiarized yourself with the map layout. I found the lighting in this stage particularly obnoxious, to the point where I changed my graphics settings. I turned my Gamma up and also turned Volumetric Fog off. You can find this right at the bottom of the graphics menu. There are multiple objectives to complete in the Sker Hotel, so let me explain each one step by step. Refuel the Teleportation Platform Your first mission is to restore power to the Teleporter in the middle of the Grand Hall. You'll be coming back here often, as it's like a central hub for the map. Grab the Canist... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, April 22, 2024 6:15 PM  After rescuing Finley from his cage in the Nameless Pass, and having a brief conversation with him, he'll mention to you that he will meet you back in Sacrament. When you return to Sacrament, you soon discover he is nowhere to be found. It turns out that Finley only comes out at a certain time. Read further to learn about Finley's shop hours in No Rest for the Wicked. No Rest for the Wicked: When does Finley appear in Sacrament? As it turns out, Finley only appears and opens up shop on Saturdays between the hours of 8 AM and 12 AM. And no, this isn't in-game hours, Finley is only available on real-world Saturdays. In other words, you need to play No Rest for the Wicked during the weekend to purchase some of his goodies. When Saturday comes around, you can find Finley at the location shown in the image below. Screenshot: PC Invasion At this location, you will notice a note on his door that mentions the 8 AM to 12 AM shift. While thi... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, April 22, 2024 5:19 PM  Hoyoverse has revealed Clorinde as the latest playable character coming to Genshin Impact sometime in the near future, and players are incredibly excited for this new Electro sword user. With Genshin Impact version 4.6 already here, it's time to look ahead to version 4.7 and the arrival of Clorinde and other newly revealed characters. Fontaine's cast just gets better and better with every new patch, and Clordine continues that tradition with a truly unique kit that positions her as one of the best Electro DPS units that the game has seen in quite some time. Genshin Impact Clorinde Release Date Clorinde is slated to be released alongside Genshin Impact's version 4.7 update. Genshin Impact version 4.7 will go live on Wednesday, June 5, 2024. Hoyoverse hasn't yet revealed the gacha banners for version 4.7, so Clorinde will either be released on June 5 or June 25 depending on which phase she's a part of. "…Word to the wise, friend.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, April 22, 2024 4:02 PM  Cooking is an essential part of No Rest for the Wicked. Food offers the player buffs, restores stamina, increases health, etc. This guide is your one-stop shop for cooking as it will go over the best cooking recipes in No Rest for the Wicked. What are the best cooking recipes in No Rest for the Wicked? Screenshot: PC Invasion While each recipe can help you survive the challenging world of No Rest for the Wicked, there are a handful that will make you unstoppable. After reviewing all the recipes in the early access version of the game, I have come to the conclusion that the four best recipes are: Angler's Delight Chowder, Sirloin Platter, Herder's Hearth Stew, and Fish Salad. These four cooking recipes offer the biggest benefits, such as replenishing the most health. Here are the in-game descriptions of each of these cooking recipes: Angler's Delight Chowder: Instantly restores 100 Health and 50 Focus. Sirloin Platter: Instantly restores 150 Health... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, April 22, 2024 3:40 PM  This level in Sker Ritual will have you teleporting around a typical Welsh hotel, looking for punch cards to get face-to-face with the final boss. However, if you want to get all the achievements for Ashes of Sker Hotel, you'll also need to find all the doll locations around the twisting map. How to find all the dolls in Ashes of Sker Hotel The problem I had while looking for all the Sker Ritual dolls in Ashes of Sker Hotel was the lighting. The game is already dark, which is fine for the atmosphere, but it makes finding the damn things a nightmare. I will admit, for this level, I turned the brightness to the maximum to help me find the dolls. However, this also made my screenshots for the guide much easier. I suggest you do the same. Going in with a few friends can also make the game a lot easier. One is a distraction, while the other hunts. Ground Floor Grand Hall doll In the grand hall, head straight up the central staircase to the collection of screens at the t... |
