Once upon a time, developer Vicarious Visions was working on a follow-up to 2020's excellent remake collection, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2. The project would've consisted of remakes of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4, which would've been dope. Unfortunately, according to a new investigation by YouTuber Liam Robertson…

     These Helldivers 2 review bomb capes actually go pretty hard

The radioactive dust is just starting to settle on the fracas that was the Helldivers 2 PSN account-linking debacle, but you can feel the collective sigh of relief from players and developers alike now that Sony has relented and dropped the requirement. As peace has once again spread across the land, some Helldivers 2 players have suggested a cape design commemorating the event, emblazoned with a pattern based on the massive spike in negative Steam reviews that ultimately brought the whole thing to a head.

     Grab one of the best FPS games of the last decade for less than $5

2016 was a very good year for FPS and third person shooter games, seeing the release of everything from Superhot, Mafia 3, and Overwatch to new Doom and Hitman games, Battlefield 1, and a remaster of the first Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Alongside all of these launches was Titanfall 2, an FPS from Respawn Entertainment that served as sequel to a multiplayer only first instalment and a game that went somewhat overlooked at the time. Fortunately, Titanfall 2 is still available and is currently discounted heavily on Steam.

     Hades 2Hades 2 is much like the first game, in that it doesn't do a lot of hand-holding when it comes to completing tasks. Case and point, there are some friendly critters you can come across while playing the game. You can find them as early as Erebus, where a particularly interesting feline is waiting. But what is the cat in Erebues for in Hades? Hades 2 — Where to find the cat in Erebus Image: Supergiant Games Starting out in Hades 2, I was excited with all the returning systems like fishing to be back. There are new gameplay elements that have found their way into the game, and even more coming with future updates. Melione for example, can use Magick and was taught how by the goddess of witchcraft, Hecate. As such, you can perform Incantations in between your runs. These Incantations function the same as the house renovator from the first game but with a whole heap of new features. One said feature, is the ability to give you a fountain room in Erebus with the Incanta...

     All Keepsakes In Hades 2, Ranked Best To Worst (2)Keepsakes can make or break a run in Hades 2, so it is important to know which are the best and which are the worst ranked. Investing time into them only improves them, so here are the ones I think you should go in on. Hades 2 Keepsakes, ranked This is, in my opinion, the best to the worst of the Keepsakes in Hades 2 ranked. However, everyone's playstyle differs, so if you disagree, sue me. As I discover more Keepsakes in Hades 2, I'll continue to add them. After all, the game is still in early access, there could always be more to come. Screenshot: PC Invasion Luckier Tooth (Schelemeus) – When you run out of health, automatically restore 51 health once. Silver Wheel (Hecate) – After you use magick, restore it over 3 seconds, up to a total of 1,000 magick for the run. Aromatic Phial (Narcissus) – Fountains restore +20% health. The next one turns one of your common boons rare. Transcendent Embryo (Primordial Chaos) – Gain a rand...

     How Tharness Each Of Selenes Hexes In Hades 2 Featured ImageThere's so much to do in Hades 2, that even in early access, the game's content eclipses that of the original's full release. There's already a planned roadmap out there, but let's focus on the things currently in the game. For example, the goddess of the moon is brand-new, and she has some interesting boons for you. Let's look to the Gifts of the Moon and figure out how to harness each of Selene's Hexes in Hades 2. Hades 2 — All Selene Hexes Screenshot via: PC Invasion The Hexes you can gain from Selene are some very powerful abilities that can really help you out in a pinch. Some of her boons are also especially useful in turning your enemies into harmless little creatures. Others, fire a gigantic laser at your foes decimating everything in your path. So far, a total of eight Selene boons, otherwise known as Gifts of the Moon, have been found in the early access version of Hades 2. We'll be sure to update this article as m...

     How To Get Lime In Hades 2Have you noticed some resources like Silver have a bunch of moving parts to acquire in Hades 2? On the other, hand there are other things you can farm by just attempting runs in the game. One of those is Bones; this guide will explain how to farm them in Hades 2. Hades 2: How to farm Bones Earning Bones is quite simple and can be done in a couple of ways. The first, and probably the most known way is that you can earn them as chamber rewards. Clear the stage, and you may get Bones as a reward. While not as consistent, you can still run into Bones by this method at a high rate. To add more of a boost to getting more Bones, try investing in the Gathering of Ancient Bones incantation. This will highlight a certain weapon you can use on that run. When you do pick it, watch how much Bones you earn when you complete the room. Also, not consistent, but that doesn't matter. Mainly because the amount you get will be high enough to cover any you've missed. ...

     Hades 2 Hermes BoonOne of the first prophecy quests that you receive in Hades 2 requires you to meet the Huntress and the Messenger, two mythological figures that can potentially show up during your runs. To complete this mission, you need to encounter Artemis, Goddes of the Hunt, and Hermes, God of Swiftness, for the first time. These two show up randomly unlike the standard pantheon of Greek gods that deliver boons to you, so you're stuck with luck for this quest. Completing it will net you 10 Silver, though, so it's worth keeping an eye out for them. How to Meet Artemis in Hades 2 Screenshot: PC Invasion Artemis will be the first of the two that you meet during your Hades 2 playthrough. You'll most likely encounter her before you even unlock the prophecy mechanic since she's so common in early runs through Erebus. When you enter a new room in Hades 2, there's a small chance that Artemis will appear and help you clear the encounter. When she shows up, the p...
