PCGamesN Wednesday, November 27, 2024 7:59 AM  Released just three days before Manor Lords, which at the time was the most wishlisted game on Steam, Bellwright was always at risk of being overshadowed. But like the competition, Bellwright is an early access marvel that developer Donkey Crew steadily keeps improving, and the latest update is a big one. So if you've stepped away from Hooded Horse's medieval strategy epic and want to try something a little different, now's the time to give Bellwright a shot.

PCGamesN Wednesday, November 27, 2024 7:54 AM  What are all the Dreamlight Valley recipes? Cooking is crucial to success in the Disney life sim as you'll need to cook up some tasty grub to earn Dreamlight, make friends, and keep your stamina up. There are over 200 recipes in the base game so far, and even more in the DLC - that's a lot of recipes to keep track of. Luckily, once you've made a recipe once it automatically saves to your in-game cook book, so we're here to fill your recipe book up to the brim. The way to the hearts of all the Dreamlight Valley characters can be found through their stomachs, but it's equally important to keep yourself well-fed, too. Some Dreamlight Valley recipes - like the Dreamlight Valley bouillabaisse recipe - offer more stamina than others, and while some can be obtained from completing quests, others are unlocked by trying different ingredients together. To make it easier to get the most nutritious meals, we've compiled all the current Dreamlight Valley meals below, including those available in DLCs, with five-star recipes offering the most energy.

PCGamesN Wednesday, November 27, 2024 7:34 AM  Ah, the strategy game. More than any other genre, strategy is synonymous with the PC. From the earliest days of XCOM UFO Defense, through Civilization and Age of Empires, and right up to Stellaris, our beloved platform has been defined by base building, resource gathering, and the application of military might. Civ 7 is on the way. Manor Lords is growing and growing. But if you've missed out on some of the best contemporary strategy classics and want to play catch up, stalwart publisher and developer Paradox is hosting a big sale right now, and some of its greatest works, including Cities Skylines 2 and Crusader Kings 3, are available for cheap.

PCGamesN Wednesday, November 27, 2024 7:20 AM  As Throne and Liberty continues to hold strong on Steam in the wake of its first round of colossal castle siege battles, developers Amazon Games and NCSoft unveil a new game-changing weapon. The Spear is set to be the first new weapon added to the global version of the free MMORPG, and it's a versatile, mobile option capable of diving in on the enemy backline to disable them, rush to your allies' side to help turn the tide of combat in your favor, or unleash fiery explosions.

PCGamesN Wednesday, November 27, 2024 7:19 AM  There's yet another leak related to the upcoming Intel Arc Battlemage GPU launch, with the latest information showing a benchmark run on one of the new graphics cards. As well as seemingly confirming some specs of the new GPU, the test run's score also makes for surprising reading. Intel Arc Battlemage is the second generation range of Intel Arc GPUs, following the launch of the Intel Arc Alchemist range back in 2022. As we found in our Intel Arc A770 review, these first-gen GPUs were reasonably capable but lacked driver support at launch such that they didn't do enough to earn a spot on our best graphics card guide. With Battlemage, the hope is that Intel will have cranked its GPU performance up a notch, and have an even stronger contender to take on AMD and Nvidia's next generation of GPUs.

PCGamesN Wednesday, November 27, 2024 7:11 AM  Thanks to a SteamVR driver leak, we now have a pretty good idea of what the new Steam Controller 2 will look like. Data mining has revealed a low-resolution render that mocks up how Valve's next-gen controller (code-named Ibex) will look although, without an official announcement, it could still be subject to changes. It's been five years since Valve discontinued the original Steam controller for PC users, but there have been plenty of rumors about a replacement since. The last, concrete bit of news up until recently was four years ago, thanks to a Steam controller patent that leaked out, but the trail went cold. Now, however, it appears that Valve is finally ready to take the best PC controller market by storm with this new release.

Following the two fantastic maps available at launch, Citadelle Des Morts is the third map, arriving in the game with the launch of Season 1 Reloaded.

PCGamesN Wednesday, November 27, 2024 6:14 AM  Will a new Command and Conquer game ever happen? The superlative Command and Conquer Remastered Collection, which combines Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert, is the closest we've gotten in recent years. EA has also repackaged and re-released the entire series on Steam - for a moment, back in March, it felt like something was happening. But the fog of war has descended once again, and while RTS rivals like Tempest Rising and Age of Empires continue to soar, C&C remains mostly AWOL. But something unusual has just happened. Originally released back in 2012, the likely forgotten MMO-like Command and Conquer Tiberium Alliances, previously available only on browsers, suddenly has a Steam page.

PCGamesN Wednesday, November 27, 2024 6:03 AM  What's one genre hybrid you'd have thought impossible to crack? For me, it would be combining the sprawling and immersive nature of an MMORPG with the competitive, tactical thrills of a MOBA. Surely these two genres are at odds with each other? Well, that's exactly what Corepunk strives to conquer, cleverly mixing elements of League of Legends and Diablo 4 to create something completely it's own.

Launching a new MMO is always a challenge, and Throne and Liberty has had to overcome its fair share of them server side. Fortunately, developer NCSoft and publisher Amazon Games have been quick to act, making great strides in improving the player experience.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Wednesday, November 27, 2024 7:12 AM  As anyone who's ever glanced at some of the better entries at r/twosentencehorror will tell you, the genre thrives on restrictions. Here's a creepy good 'un: "'Please, God, don't let it look in the closet,' I silently prayed. 'Please, God, don't let it look in the closet,' it parroted back from the next room." You can't do that with baby shoes, you anonymous hack! Silent Hill 2 remake's senior narrative designer Barbara Kciuk reckons this principle extends to much bigger productions. "It is a bit niche, but actually, the interesting part about horror is that it is one of the best ratios when it comes to the cost of production and the earnings," she recently told TheGamer's Rhiannon Bevan. |
