Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, October 24, 2025 8:16 AM  You are leaving the mission area, soldier! Actually, the mission area is leaving you. It is sick of your shit. It has decided that your foxhole isn't part of acceptable reality anymore. Battlefield 6's long-awaited battle royale mode seems likely to be revealed on 28th October. In less than a week, we could be laying eyes on the Battlefield interpretation of the well-worn Plunkbat and/or Fortnite premise of a vast map fringed by corrosive oblivion that shrinks overtime, forcing scavenging players into a claustrophobic last stand. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, October 24, 2025 8:04 AM  Right, so, I've thus far failed to grow a second pair of hands, despite Edwin suggesting me and Oisin try. Sorry, mate. As a result, here's a quick run around the houses of interesting stuff we've not covered from yesterday's Galaxies showcase that I think's worth nattering about. Look, you can't ask a person to choose between writing about a shadow-dropped Pacific Drive expansion and some other things that folks in the RPSverse may also be interested in hearing about. I can't be expected to make decisions. That's illegal. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, October 24, 2025 7:44 AM  First-person undersea scare-o-puzzler Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss launches April 16, 2026, as announced during last night's Galaxies showcase of less than blockbustery videogame darlings. It kind of looks like a marginally more combative Soma with less philosophical subtext, which sounds like a solid Friday night to me. It's also an opportunity for some hipfire scattergun commentary about the Lovecraftian premise of sights beyond comprehension, and how this gels with videogames, an artform that has "video" in the title. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, October 24, 2025 6:49 AM  Yesterday was Fallout Day, the date in the series' universe when the bombs dropped and permanently turned a lot of people into those skeletons you grind into dust while tramping about in your power armour. Bethesda awakened Todd Howard from cryo-sleep, and announced some stuff in a broadcast. Fallout 4 and New Vegas are being sold to people again. Also, in admittedly more exciting news, Fallout 76's Burning Springs update got a proper release date. The upcoming second series of Prime Video's Fallout TV Show was also there, with that and the 76 update set to make December very Walton Gogginsy. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, October 24, 2025 6:17 AM  Speaking as a veteran insomniac who routinely has to operate across time zones, let me share a few of my top tips for staying awake when you really want to sleep. Firstly, fill your eyes with as much light as possible - moonlight, fridgelight, phonelight, flamingoilbarrelight - and your lungs with as much bracing outdoors air as they can take. Secondly, enlist a similarly restless friend for some mutual tickling. Thirdly, remember your failures. All of them. Fourthly, consume a carefully calibrated mixture of fresh fruit and coffee, then look up dad jokes on Reddit. It doesn't feel like any of these proven strategies will work in Sleep Awake, the new first-person "psychedelic" horror game from former Spec Ops: The Line director and designer Cory Davis and his team at Eyes Out. Nobody wants to tickle you here, going by the trailer. Nobody has any dad jokes to share. They just want to beat you to a bloody sludge with pipes. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, October 24, 2025 5:36 AM  Battlefield 6's battle against the bot farmers continues with a series of backend updates from EA.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, October 24, 2025 5:11 AM  Hades 2's true ending didn't feel totally slam dunk satisfying to me in its 1.0 release form, and developers Supergiant Games seem to have agreed with those sorts of assessments. Hence, in the roguelike's first proper post-launch patch they've just put out as a Steam preview, some "true ending enhancements" being rolled out like a boon from a sassy god. Shameless plug alert, if you want to read my full thoughts on that 1.0 version, you can read this here review. The short version is that it's good. |

The Huis Ten Bosch theme park in Japan will introduce a new Evangelion ride in Spring 2026. It will feature an original story, and it will also be the first 8K ride in Japan.
The webpage for the ride does not have a lot of details yet. However, we know that the 8K ride will be similar to the rides at Universal Studios, in which guests ride on a machine that's synchronized to a video. The car moves, shakes, vibrates, and such according to the events on the screen, which will be projected onto a giant 8K dome screen. It will make you feel like you're really watching a battle against the Angels at Huis Ten Bosch.
These VR rides are popular attractions at theme parks. They collaborate with trendy or big properties—such as the USJ VR rides based on Spy x Family and Chainsaw Man—which extends the ride's relevancy, since the park would not need to fully renovate or overhaul the attraction. They also don't have a lot of animatronics or parts that the park would have to maintain for visuals or safety.
The 8K Evangelion ride will debut at Huis Ten Bosch theme park in Spring 2026. Huis Ten Bosch is in Sasebo, Nagasaki. You can find more information about the park, such as how to reach it or what hotels are nearby, on the official website.

I felt concerned heading into Little Nightmares 3. I know Supermassive Games is capable of great things. I loved what Tarsier Studios did with the series and how it wove narratives and lore into titles that relied heavily on our observations. Little Nightmares 3 isn't bad, but it lacks the same cohesive structure and challenging puzzles and encounters of its predecessors.
Word of god essentially says our latest kids trapped in the Nowhere are Low, a child with a bow and arrow that wears a plague doctor style mask, and Alone, a kid with a wrench wearing a full bodysuit and aviator style hat with goggles built into it. The two are attempting to escape and get to safety and home as they travel through different areas, avoiding the monsters and hazards surrounding them. The two depend on one another, with interactions showing clear care, and there are infrequent, interesting insights into the world's lore.
The gimmick behind Little Nightmares 3 is that this time since two children are attempting to escape and survive, it's possible to ask a second person to jump in and assist. (Little Nightmares 2 had moments with two too, but didn't include the mechanic.) If this was actually a challenging game or one with thought into it, I'd appreciate that opportunity! Except it isn't. It is exceptionally easy. There aren't as many boss encounters as the previous two games, and those instances that do appear aren't making very good use of the fact that potentially two people are present. Even the regular puzzles, which aren't challenging or satisfying, often consist of one throwing switches or triggering something so the other character can get past and then give the first a chance to reunite. It is incredibly easy, with low-stakes puzzles and encounters.
I will say the areas can instill a sense of dread at first glance. On the Switch 2, I noticed that more often the level design would lead to frustration than fear. There are many locations where what I needed to accomplish wasn't entirely clear due to big, empty spaces, lighting design, and color choices that kept things I needed from immediately "popping." There were a few situations where what to do next wasn't difficult, but I needed to adjust the brightness and add the accessibility highlights to objects I could interact with in order to see what I needed to grab. I'm not sure if this is an issue on other platforms, but I was disappointed to see it was needed here. Perhaps if space was used more effectively and the lighting design better matched previous games, it wouldn't be as much of an issue?
The accessibility options are great, though! I loved that you could add color-coded outlines to things. There are even separate ones for things like objects you can interact with and threats. It's thoughtful!
But back to the game. Another thing that keeps it from feeling scary is that it doesn't all flow together as well as previous games. In Little Nightmares, we saw Six make her way through the Maw and deal with threats while making her way toward the "big bad" of the area who acts as its commander and head. In Little Nightmares 2, a young boy named Mono and Six explore the Pale City and attempt to deal with its Signal and ominous Thin Man. Everything we do brings us closer to answers. While Low and Alone are trying to get to freedom here, the locations feel more thrown together, without a sense of cohesive ties, and there isn't any main opponent we're rallying against. It doesn't feel like enough motivation or proper pacing sometimes to ensure the suspenseful ambiance and areas do enough to make things actually feel scary, eventful, and meaningful.
All that said, I do like some of the lore elements that come up here. It does help set up more of the Nowhere and establish more of this region. The relationship between Low and Alone is interesting, and I liked seeing its progression. I also wonder how some of the lore-related elements at the end will affect future entries.
I don't think Little Nightmares 3 is one of the best games in the series, even though it absolutely looks ominous. I appreciate elements of the tale that it tells. Especially the dynamic between the leads Low and Alone. There are even some enemy designs I really like. It even offers a bit of a lore implication that I'd like to see addressed in the next entry with Six. The problem is that it sometimes doesn't feel as cohesive due to the lack of a central villain, setpieces that sometimes make it difficult to see what you need to interact with or do to move forward, and co-op elements that don't feel all that necessary or valuable. Little Nightmares and its sequel feel far more interesting and essential, with this third entry feeling more like optional supplemental material.
Little Nightmares 3 is available for the Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.

Mastering the hardships in RV There Yet isn't easy, and the last thing you want to encounter is your RV running out of oil.
If you thought surviving in your RV was difficult, you'll also have to manage the oil requirements of your vehicle. This means that the vehicle will have to be refilled routinely in order for your party to proceed to the next checkpoint.
How to use engine oil in RV There Yet
To use the engine oil, you'll have to head inside the RV.
That will repair your engine and make your RV run as usual. Do note that the engine can only get refilled from inside the RV, and there's no external hatch or pipeline.
How to repair the engine in RV There Yet
This section is a continuation of the last part, where we learnt about how to use engine oil.
Only use engine oil when required, because it's not available in plenty. Their sole purpose is to repair the engine. If the engine completely breaks down, it will be game over for your party. Typically, the engine can have its own wear and tear. However, it can also take a lot of damage if your RV accidentally flips down a cliff and falls over a distance.

Driving through the rough terrain and natural hazards in RV There Yet is no easy task, and it's crucial to know more about how to revive your teammates and respawn in case of death.
While RV There Yet is a game best played with friends, you'll occasionally meet unexpected deaths. This could be due to various reasons, but your friends can always bring you back from such unforeseen situations.
Table of contents
How to respawn in RV There Yet
The basic premise behind respawning in RV There Yet has essentially got to do with how the save system works. There are no manual saves, and you'll need to reach a checkpoint. If you die, you can't respawn on your own. You'll need a friend to bring you back to the game.
The actual process is for your friends to reach where you died and revive you. However, what they can do instead is to reach a gas station. Your friends will find a grave at gas stations, which can be used as respawn points.
If they reach a gas station, it doesn't matter where they have died on the map. On being revived, you'll always respawn at that location (where your friends are located).
How to revive your friends in RV There Yet
Reviving a teammate can be done using an EpiPen, which is usually available in different locations. You should find a bunch of them at the starting tent, and then, it's all about your luck. Once your friend has collapsed, reach near their body to use an EpiPen.
If your RV has EpiPens stored in its shared inventory, one of them will be consumed, and either you/your buddy will be brought back to life. Hence, always have a few EpiPens stored (you can also craft them with the required items).
