Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, November 13, 2025 11:00 AM Creators of Kerbal Space Program, DayZ, and a SpaceX engineer join forces to launch kittens into the atmosphere (virtually)       People who savour the sweet reek of Saturn V exhaust, rejoice. People who love cats, tremble. Felipe Falanghe, original developer of gurning spaceflight simulator Kerbal Space Program, has teamed up with Dean Hall, original creator of zombie MMO DayZ, to make a spiritual Kerbal successor - Kitten Space Agency. As the name may suggest, it trades the little green men of KSP for a bunch of feline astronauts - a meme-ish setup that apparently has nothing to do with real-life space experiments on animals, and which goes hand-in-paw with a new in-house software engine. Also, Hall and Falanghe have hired a former SpaceX staffer to work on the physics. Read more

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, November 13, 2025 10:00 AM Assetto Corsa Rally looks the part as it heads into early access, but I've found its driving a numb struggle       If you sit and look at one of Assetto Corsa Rally's gorgeously-rendered Alfa Romeos, Lancias, or Fiats in the car preview screens, there's a palpable elegance and beauty to their forms. Sadly, anyone watching me attempt to wrestle them through the Welsh woods or along tight stretches of French tarmac over the course of six hours so far would have rarely seen any elegant or beautiful driving. There are times, especially in long sweeping turns, when things start to feel as satisfying as they should. Most of the time though, Assetto Corsa Rally with a wheel feels a lot like you're skating on ice, rather than the gravel and tarmac it currently offers. Read more

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, November 13, 2025 8:00 AM Why a new Steam Machine when the first ones flopped? Because this time, Valve say, it'll actually have games       Among the trio of new hardware devices Valve just announced for 2026 – which also include the Steam Frame VR headset and a redesigned Steam Controller – the new Steam Machine is probably the most surprising. Mainly because the original Steam Machines, a series of partner-built SteamOS mini-PCs, sank like rectangular stones upon launching in 2015. Designed and built entirely in-house, the new model is a very different proposition, though it's not so much the updated hardware that has Valve believing it's time to give the Steam Machine another chance. According to engineers Yazan Aldehayyat and Pierre-Loup Griffais, the biggest problem faced by those doomed Machines was one that the Steam Deck's Proton software has solved: a lack of SteamOS-compatible games.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, November 13, 2025 6:00 AM In going deeper, Wall World 2 brings its dullest moments to the surface       Wall World 2 isn't as easy to explain as its predecessor. Yes, it is still a roguelike in which you split your time between piloting a robotic spider up and down a giant wall in search of weak spots from which you can mine deep into the cliff face, digging up minerals to spend upgrading your mecha-arachnid's weapons, enhancing its ability to fight off periodic waves of pustule-covered aliens, until you either kill the biggest pustule-covered alien or die in the attempt. But now it's become a much more complex game, embellishing both its mining and combat halves and thinning the divide between them. This is going to take a little explaining, with a lot of changes falling into the plus and minus columns, so here's an easy improvement to tide you over. You can now name your robospider; mine is called Nigel. Read more

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, November 13, 2025 5:59 AM Maybe hold off a bit longer on reinstalling your Fallout 4 mods, as Bethesda have two anniversary update patches planned       Ah, it's gotten a bit worse. Bethesda are planning to release two patches to Fallout 4 in order to rectify issues with its anniversary edition, meaning that the potential's there for more havoc to be played with mods. Though, outside of fixes for issues with the revamped Creations menu, it looks like a lot of the contents of these patches may end up being console-specific fixes, so there's a chance any extra PC disruption's relatively minimal. I'd certainly hope it's less of a palaver than the update's initial arrival, which many modders have been quick to get on top of and push updates for their works. Read more

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Thursday, November 13, 2025 5:29 AM Why is superhero comedy Dispatch a million-selling success story? It could be that weekly release schedule       The final episode of swish and salacious Telltale-style caped tellydrama Dispatch released yesterday. It's been a surprise hit - according to the gabbling labcoats at GameDiscoverCo, AdHoc's superhero workplace comedy is approaching two million sales. Reasons given for this range from the appealing but uninvestigated - there's a Galactus-sized untapped audience for narrative single player games, and all the publishers are absolute spanners for doubling down on live service projects instead - to the boring - people are still keen on superheroes, especially sociopathic and disgusting superheroes that cut against archetypes from the more pompous Marvel films, and Dispatch is simply a very well-made game. Good games sell? What a gauche, back-of-napkin excuse for industry analysis. There must be a more arcane and clever-sounding explanation for Dispatch's meteoric fortunes. Ah yes, here we go: speaking to GameDiscoverCo, AdHoc's CEO and exec producer Michael Choung has suggested that it's partly down to the weekly episodic release schedule. Read more

Siliconera Thursday, November 13, 2025 9:00 AM Review: Life Sim Winter Burrow Makes Us a Tiny Mouse in a Cold World       Did you grow up with cute animal movies like The Secret of NIMH and Watership Down that pulled no punches when it came to serious subjects? Do you also like games that offers comforting routines and life sim elements? Well, Winter Burrow ticks all of those boxes by presenting us with a life sim about a young mouse who's all alone in the world and trying to survive. While some pacing and design elements do get a little frustrating if you're aware of how these types of titles go, it's adorable, a little bit dark, and encourages "one more day" sorts of gameplay sessions. You're a tiny mouse. You grew up in a burrow in the woods. Life was harsh and meant facing the elements to survive, but your family was together! Your parents headed with you to the city in search of a better life. However, that led to the two of them working themselves to death. With urban life unaffordable and you all alone, you return to the now dilapidated burrow to attempt to see if surviving in the woods alone might be better after all.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlQo0Buvv-4 As the name suggests, it's the coldest season of the year in Winter Burrow, so your first priority when getting situated in this life sim is getting the mouse's burrow in the tree livable. Your four stats constantly displayed in the lower left corner are your mouse's health, hunger, temperature, and stamina. Health can go down if you are attacked by enemies like beetles, you start starving, or you let your temperature get down to zero when outside too long. (Ice will form at the edges of the screen like on a windowpane when this happens, and a reddish tint can signal disaster.) Stamina goes down when you run or use tools like an axe, pickaxe, or shovel. Your goal is to venture out each day in occasional spurts to gather materials and accomplish certain goals. This means collecting materials and ingredients. In the initial area, you'll find twigs that could be combined with mushrooms to make a snack, kill beetles to make a roast out of their meat, or find beechnuts that could be turned into a beechnut biscuit. The food you chop from logs could be turned into planks for furniture. Cutting down grass and finding tufts of fur can become cloth for clothing and shoes. Useful furniture, like beds or storage boxes, can be placed. Other materials can be used to repair parts of the burrow like the stove, workbench, sitting area, and basement mushroom garden. It's essentially a situation in which you pick away at certain tasks to gain clothing and tools that make it easier for your to head into additional areas and accomplish more so you aren't just surviving, but thriving.   Images via Pine Creek Games While I do appreciate that some aspects of Winter Burrow are designed to emphasize the survival elements of this life sim, it feels in desperate need of some quality of life additions or pacing patches. For example, unlike many crafting and life sims, you don't get all your basic tools right away. You'll spend quite a bit of time getting by with only an axe, needing to wait on a shovel and pickaxe. Likewise, it takes quite a bit of time to get more backpack space, as initially you only have the five spaces in your hotbar and then four slots in your bag. Key items like a, well, key? That also takes up a slot in your very limited bag. When watering mushrooms in the cellar "garden," there's no visual indication which plot was watered. I get that the limitations are designed to make you think critically about how much you can accomplish before the cold gets to your character or light runs out. But at the same time, we get access to warming drinks that would make it possible to explore into other regions of the map way before we get access to a bag that is large enough to actually make that kind of gathering mission worthwhile. I also happened upon some things that might be bugs? When you do get access to the shovel, it will note its attack as being 10. But when I tried to use it to attack a beetle instead of the axe… it did no damage? (Fortunately, it didn't encourage aggro from the beetles in the area around the burrow, so I didn't put the mouse in danger.) Mushrooms are supposed to also drop the spores you can use to plant in your basement, but once I unlocked it I only got one additional spores drop after about four hours.  Images via Pine Creek Games While those elements can get a little cumbersome, the tone in Winter Burrow is impeccable. It can go from calm and serene to darkly depressing in an instant. Like the aforementioned animals in Watership Down and The Secret of NIMH, life is absolutely not easy for the mice and creatures in the forest. We start with two deaths and a dilapidated home, then often see hope snatched away with the fear of more death and despair. At the same time, it's compelling in a way that makes you want to keep pushing forward in the hope things will get better for this little rodent with your help. Especially since it all looks so charming and cute. While Winter Burrow doesn't shy away from the darker sides of survival games, it's also a charming and calming anthropomorphic mouse life sim. Yes, trying to get by in a big, cold world when you're a teeny, tiny mouse with very little is tough! But if you take your time, plot out a reliable routine, and keep pushing forward, you might be okay.  Winter Burrow is available for the Switch and PC.  The post Review: Life Sim Winter Burrow Makes Us a Tiny Mouse in a Cold World appeared first on Siliconera.

Destructoid Thursday, November 13, 2025 7:53 AM How to prevent Packet Bursts in Call of Duty Black Ops 7       Call of Duty Black Ops 7 players are already running into issues of Packet Bursts while trying to enjoy the different modes, and there are a few solutions to try out. Having Packet Bursts on the opening day isn't uncommon, and it has occurred with older Call of Duty titles. Packets Bursts typically happen due to issues with your internet and servers in general; however, there are a few extra settings to tweak to reduce the problems at hand. Best solutions to prevent Packet Bursts in Black Ops 7 Here are a few settings to tweak if you're getting Packet Bursts (despite having no problems with your internet). Screenshot by Destructoid Disable On-Demand Texture Streaming: While you can't turn it off entirely, you can set it to minimal. When set to optimized, it will download surface textures while you're playing the egame actively. Not only is the high-quality texture going to affect your setup graphically, but it will also consume your internet bandwidth. You can change this setting from Graphics. Disable Dismemberment and Gore Effects: I might love dismembering zombies and enemies while spraying them with bullets, but it's going to increase the information being fed to the servers. If you're getting network issues, I will keep this feature turned off even if it reduces the immersive feel of Black Ops 7. Screenshot by Destructoid Lower VRAM: You can reduce the VRAM Scale Target from your settings to reduce the amount of VRAM being used by Black Ops 7. Having more VRAM allows the game to perform better, but it will cause lag if it's consuming more space than required and conflicts with other operational apps. Finally, make sure to check your internet if you're still getting Packet Bursts while trying to enjoy a session. Additionally, wait a bit for the game to download and pre-load all the shaders across the three modes. This will reduce the chances of issues with the internet popping up as you're trying to pop the skull of an enemy.

PC users, as always, will be able to make more tweaks and customizations to maximize their hardware. Playing with settings that feel smooth on your PC is essential. Minimal stutters and lags will be key to hitting those elusive kill streaks. Table of contents Best tips and tricks for smooth graphics in Black Ops 7 Best Black Ops 7 graphics settings Best tips and tricks for smooth graphics in Black Ops 7 You'll need to check some basics to get the best performance out of your hardware. Update the graphics: The first thing you should do is check if your graphics drivers are updated to the latest version. If not, auto-download the newest version and install it before playing the full version. Cap the FPS: Unless you have a superior graphics card, it might be better to cap the FPS to 90/60 (depending on your system). This will ensure no frame drops during a crucial moment in the battle. Download the shaders: While they can load and install while you're live in a game, it's better to wait. The shaders don't take long (depending on your settings), and the performance will improve once the download and installation process is complete.

Destructoid Thursday, November 13, 2025 6:00 AM Black Ops 7 campaign: Fracture mission keypad code solution       During the seventh mission of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's campaign, Fracture, the team gets stuck inside of a resort in Japan. In reality, it's a hallucination brought on by the trauma from a mission gone awry in 50/50's past. Either way, you're stuck because there's a keypad code you need, and 50/50 can't quite remember it. Luckily for you, I am a sleuth as well as a CoD player. Here's what you need to know for BO7 co-op campaign mission Fracture's keypad code solution. 'Press Forward - Find the keypad code' solution in BO7 campaign Image via Activision The solution to the keypad code "puzzle" on Fracture is right in front of you...or behind you. First, hack the terminal in the room opposite of where the keypad is by rotating and connecting the modules as you've done numerous times throughout the campaign before this. Once the hacking puzzle is complete, look behind the counter of the hotel resort lobby and you will see all sorts of red numbers flashing on the screen. "The numbers, Mason, what do they mean?!" Sound familiar? 50/50 will do you the courtesy of repeating the first two numbers over and over again as 4-2. When looking at the screen, there's only one set that begins with 4-2. For me, the code I input to open the door was 4-2-8-3, as you can see in the image below, and it worked fine. The keypad code looks like it wants you to enter in eight numbers, but the four I put in work just fine. This code may differ for each individual player or playthrough, as Black Ops games have done in the past. So first, try 4-2-8-3, otherwise, look at the numbers on the screen behind the hotel counter and enter those in, whatever can be found bundled with 4-2. Screenshot by Destructoid If it's not 4-2-8-3, just enter in whatever the screen shows for you and then input it on the keypad to continue the mission.

Destructoid Thursday, November 13, 2025 6:00 AM All Weapon Prestige camos in Black Ops 7 and how to get them       The world of Call of Duty weapon camos has never been richer than in Black Ops 7. On top of Military, Special, and Mastery camos for multiplayer, Zombies, co-op campaign, and even Warzone, there's also specific weapon camos to be earned through Weapon Prestige levels, and they're actually some of the best in the game. Some are animated while others are throwbacks to Black Ops 2 classic camos, but they will not be easy to obtain. Here's all there is to know about all of the Weapon Prestige camos found in BO7. Table of contents BO7 Weapon Prestige camos Assault rifles SMGs Shotguns LMGs Marksman Rifles Sniper Rifles Pistols Launchers Melee weapons BO7 Weapon Prestige camos When you reach max level with a weapon, you can choose to enter Prestige mode for it to reset your progress and begin ranking it up from the beginning.

You can Prestige over and over again with each weapon all the way up to Prestige 250, which will unlock a unique animated weapon camo. There are three universal Weapon Prestige Mastery camos that each weapon gets when finishing certain thresholds within Weapon Prestige: Cobalt Circuit: Reach Prestige Master level 100 Vermilion Cypher: Reach Prestige Master level 150 Violet Network: Reach Prestige Master level 200 Image via Activision Additionally, each weapon has three unique camos for reaching Prestige 1, Prestige 2, and Max Prestige.

Destructoid Thursday, November 13, 2025 5:01 AM ARC Raiders Update 1.2.0 patch notes – Stella Montis launch, balance fixes, and more       Update 1.2.0 patch notes are now available for all ARC Raiders, and there's a substantial amount of changes in this version. Update 1.2.0 marks the start of The North Line update, which is the first significant content drop in ARC Raiders since its global launch. While the Stella Montis map headlines the patch, there are plenty of nerfs and buffs to go through. This guide will give you a quick overview of all the major changes. Complete ARC Raiders Update 1.2.0 patch notes Here are the main highlights of the new match. Stella Montis is available as the fifth map. You'll have to work together with the community to unlock the map. New set of Stella Montis exclusive quests. Two new enemies in the form of the Shredder and Matriarch. New Explosives Two new play styles While all these additions will be excellent for fans to enjoy, there are plenty of gameplay changes. Reduced character movement latency on server to improve the "desync" problem where it looks like you get damaged even after behind cover. Fixed an issue that prevented players from completing quests involving multiple objectives or item collections within a single round. Fixed various achievements not working correctly. Players will need to redo some achievements with only one objective item (e.g. "Destroy the Queen") while achievements with multiple objectives will only need parts of them completed again. Reduced delay between shooting at ARC and seeing impact effects on the target. Fixed various locations where players could fall through the terrain. Here are some of the critical balance changes you can witness in ARC Raiders after downloading the update. Wolfpack value increased from 3,000 to 5,000 Coins. ARC motion Core and ARC Circuitry are now available at Refiner level 2. Value of Launcher ammo increased from 100 to 200 Coins. Reduced XP per damage for Bastion, Bombardier, Rocketeer, and Leaper. Increased XP from looting ARC Parts from Rocketeer Thrusters and Leaper Leg. Additionally, Update 1.2.0 also includes plenty of bug fixes, which include solutions for those suffering from desync. Hopefully, the gameplay and balance updates will be the icing on the cake as we get busy with Stella Montis. You can read the complete patch notes from the official Embark website.
