     Diablo 4 update restores a build-defining unique as Mother's Blessing begins

A new Diablo 4 update has rolled out, and it hasn't taken long for players to spot some changes that weren't listed in Blizzard's blog posts. Diablo 4 patch 2.2.1 brings buffs to several classes, but it also includes some welcome quality-of-life improvements that weren't mentioned before, along with kickstarting a new Diablo 4 Mother's Blessing event offering bonus gold and experience. It's not all good news, however; an apparent stealth adjustment to one of Season 8's strongest boss powers has dramatically reduced the viability of a handful of builds.

     Huge Stalker 2 update makes the entire FPS game feel more realistic and lethal

Whether it's Fallout, State of Decay, or Dying Light, when it comes to post-apocalyptic shooters, you want to feel like the entire world is against you. Tough enemies. Realistic weapon behaviors. A dynamic environment where NPCs and monsters live out their lives of their own accord, seemingly indifferent to your suffering. These are the core components of a survivalistic FPS. Six months since it was released, Stalker 2 is still going strong. But GSC has a lot more it wants to achieve. From the combat to the trademark A-Life system, the new Stalker 2 update makes the entire game feel more alive and more dangerous.

     All Galactic Battle Fortnite NPC locations, items, and hireable NPCs

Who are the latest Fortnite NPCs? Fortnite NPC locations change with every new season, much like everything else, with more added throughout the season as well. This makes it difficult to keep track of the latest NPC locations. That's where we come in.

There are a few reasons you might want to find a Fortnite NPC location in the battle royale game. You can hire Fortnite NPCs for a helping hand, get a rift out of the storm, or buy some of the best Fortnite weapons and items. There are often new hostile Fortnite NPCs to defeat too, but if you're looking for someone a little more friendly, we have every NPC location marked on the Fortnite map, as well as a list of all of the special items or services you can buy in Chapter 6, Season 3.

     Nine months later, new Star Wars Outlaws update fixes the biggest combat problem

Ubisoft has been hit with hard times lately. Far Cry 6 let people down. Skull and Bones struggled to find form. Xdefiant never really got started, and has since been shuttered for good. But maybe things are starting to turn around. Assassin's Creed Shadows is a success, The Division 3 is in the works, and Rainbow Six Siege X is scheduled to arrive in June. Even Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft's underloved and overlooked tie-in shooter from August of last year, is getting better. If it put you off nine months ago, or you've never tried it before, the new Star Wars Outlaws update fixes one of the most irksome combat problems and adds new missions.

     Be Quiet! Light Mount review - a gaming keyboard to be seen and not heard

The Be Quiet! Light Mount keyboard focuses on two key areas: lots of RGB lighting and quiet operation. It throws in a handful of extra gaming keys and a multimedia knob, but effectively that's it for overall features. So if you want a keyboard that will dazzle with its lightshow without distracting with its typing noise, it's potentially the one for you.

This keyboard is one of two that Be Quiet! just launched as its entrance into the gaming peripheral space. Its sibling has a clever modular design that earned it a place on our best gaming keyboard guide, and you can read more about that model in our Be Quiet! Dark Mount review. The Light Mount is worthy of a place too, based on its light show alone, but is there more to it than just a load of lights? I've been testing it as my daily driver for writing, gaming, and more for the last few weeks to find out. [site_jumplinks]

May 15, 2025 We checked for new DBD codes, and for validity of listed codes.

What are the latest DBD codes? These freebie-granting DBD rewards can reward you with anything from a few bonus Bloodpoints to help prestige the latest character, to new and exclusive in-game cosmetics, so it's crucial you get them while they're live.

There are more ways to customize your game than ever with DBD badges and banners, but there are still occasional rewards for items for your DBD killers and survivors, too. All of them let you show off your style, while Dead by Daylight Bloodpoints and Rift Fragments help your in-game progress, so there are always plenty of goodies to be had. Some of these Dead by Daylight codes are ongoing though, so you may have snapped them up already.

Temporary promo codes for boosters, cosmetics, and items also occasionally pop up around big updates or special events and rewards from Warframe Twitch drops.

     Soulframe release date window, trailers, gameplay, and news

When is the Soulframe release date? The upcoming fantasy MMORPG from the creators behind Warframe has been on our minds since it was first announced in 2022. More recently, developer Digital Extremes has revealed story details and gameplay trailers that give us an idea of what to expect from Soulframe's beautiful open world that establishes its themes of climate change and environmental destruction.

Soulframe certainly looks and feels very different from its sci-fi sister, Warframe, instead, it takes cues from our favorite fantasy games. However, there are plenty of parallels to delight long-time Warframe fans and new players alike once the MMORPG arrives. Until then, here's everything we know so far, including all the latest news surrounding the Soulframe release date and the upcoming Preludes playtests.

What are the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 console commands and cheats? Life in Bohemia is tough; in the beginning, you have to fight for every meal, you're forced to use sub-par gear, and your skills are so low that you won't be able to hit a barn door with an arrow at ten paces. Console commands and cheats can change that, though, if you're so inclined.

Even with the best KCD2 swords and KCD2 armor, you can struggle on occasion in the sprawling open-world RPG that is Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Your enemies are numerous, and it can sometimes feel like an uphill battle, even hours into your adventure. With KCD2 console commands, you can turn the tide and get the upper hand with ease.

When is Stellar Blade coming to PC? Developer Shift Up originally planned to bring Stellar Blade to PC when it was revealed back in 2019, but Sony's involvement saw the game become a PlayStation 5 exclusive title in 2021.

Following an accidental leak on Sony's part, we now know the exact release date for Stellar Blade's PC port. Like the best action-adventure games out there, Stellar Blade is incredibly stylish and flashy, equipping players with an arsenal of weapons to crush Earth's alien invaders.

     GTA 6 release date and time, trailers, and latest Rockstar Games news

May 15, 2025: We added the prospective GTA 6 release times following a PlayStation Store listing update.

When is GTA 6 coming out? Given how many years it takes to create open worlds of the same caliber as GTA 5, it's no surprise that Rockstar Games has already spent years developing GTA 6. Rockstar prefers to keep its secrets close to its chest until close to the end of development, but Take-Two has now confirmed when exactly we can expect it to arrive.

The Grand Theft Auto 6 release date has certainly been a long time coming. Early gameplay leaks of GTA 6 surfaced online last year, along with lines of source code and development footage for the open-world game. There have been plenty of rumors and speculation surrounding the release date since then, but we finally have confirmation of the GTA 6 release date, story, and setting. Here's all the latest on GTA 6, including trailers and news, right here on PCGamesN.

Doom The Dark Ages finally fills the gap between Doom 64 and Doom 2016, taking place at the height of the war between the Sentinels of Argent D'nur and the legions of hell. It's a darker, grittier FPS than its predecessor, Doom Eternal, yet as our Doom The Dark Ages review attests, it hasn't lost any of its sheen in the gameplay department.

     Best mini gaming PC 2025: top small form factor PCs

What is the best mini gaming PC? The traditional image of a custom gaming PC is a hulking behemoth of a machine, with frantically spinning fans, blazing rainbow RGB LEDs, and a monstrously large graphics card. However, the best mini gaming PCs can be compact, quiet, and elegant, all while providing performance that can rival full-size desktop rigs.

We've tested a wide range of options from ultra-compact ones, which are similar to small laptops in performance, to true powerhouses. Our top choice overall is the Geekom AX8 Pro, thanks to its incredibly small size, decent gaming power, and fair price. For more serious power and stunning design, we've picked the fantastic Corsair One i500, while for a budget option, the Minisforum UM773 Lite is great value for under $400.

An Anime Saga player is standing in front of the traits station. There are titles on top and bottom of the screen

Getting the best units in Anime Saga is the most important thing. However, even when you have the best units, with the best stats, there is one more thing you should aim for to give you an even bigger edge: Traits. Traits are passive effects each unit in your team can have, and they can really heat things up, especially during end-game. To help you pick the best traits, we made this Definitive Anime Saga Trait Tier List.

Anime Saga Trait Tier List

A Tier list of all traits from Roblox Anime Saga
Image via TierMaker / Remix by Destructoid

Traits can really push your characters to do even more damage and even get a few passive abilities. Unfortunately, just like the units and the stats, the Traits you get are completely random, and many of them have a <1% chance of rolling. These traits are a waste unless you use them on the best units.

SS-Tier

Trait Name Rarity Description Info

Doombringer
0.1% 50% Critical Hit Chance
+1% Damage per enemy defeated
When health is below 40%, do 60% more damage and take 40% less
-25% Cooldown Time
This one is so powerful it's not even funny.
Not only is 50% Crit out of this world, but your damage
output keeps growing even more, especially if you let your HP drop.

S-Tier

Trait Name Rarity Description Info

Overlord
2% For every enemy you kill gain 1% more Damage and restore 20% of your HP The HP per kill is nice, but the real deal is the extra damage you'll end up doing
the more trash mobs you destroy. The further you go, the more powerful you'll get.
Ideal for Raids or Infinite runs.

Bloodlord
0.6% Lifesteals 1.5% od the damage you deal, Restore 10% HP per kill
When below 30% HP, Lifesteal restores 4% damage, instead of 1.5%
An absolute necessity if you're playing solo. If you dodge attacks,
and let Bloodlord do its work, you'll never be able to die.

Warlord
0.3% Every 10 seconds, you get a Super Armor for 3 seconds.
The Super Armor reduces damage taken by 15%, gives you 25% more HP,
Increases Damage output by 20%, and consumes -10% less SP.
Great, but only for those 3 seconds.
The Super Armor can definitely help you out,
but it's over before you know it, and waiting for it to recharge can be annoying.

A-Tier

Trait Name Rarity Description Info

Abyssal
0.8% 20% more HP, 15% more damage,
Heals 40% of your HP per kill, 10% extra Critical hit chance
A well-rounded trait that always comes in handy
in almost any situation. Extra damage, heals on kills, and
extra crit chance always come in handy.

Draconic
3% Do 15% more damage, and when you r HP falls below 30%, consume 40% less SP
and increase your damage by another 10%
Extra damage always comes in handy, but if you let your HP fall a bit, you
can dish out even more and use a lot less SP.

B-Tier

Trait Name Rarity Description Info

Celestial
1% Heals nearby allies for 3% HP every 15 seconds,
Reduces damage taken by 25% when HP falls below 30%
Only good if you're raiding and your party keeps taking damage, otherwise useless.
It can come in handy during raids if you find yourself taking a lot of damage (then you just run around, until your HP is up)

Colossus
1.5% You get 20% more HP, take 15% less damage, and every 15 seconds
you generate the same Super Shield (for 3 Seconds) like Warlord.
Really great protective trait, but the recharge timer for Super Shield is just too long.
It's still really handy if you can time it right.

Phantom
4% 10% more Cricial Hit chance, Consume 20% less SP, and reduces cooldown by 12% It's fine if you don't have anything better to use.
The Critical Hit chance, in particular, can really increase your damage output.

Endurance III
(and lower ranks)
8% 12% more HP, and 12% extra Damage Extra damage = Good, Extra HP = Useful

C-Tier

Trait Name Rarity Description Info

Guardian III
(and lower ranks)
8% 12% less damage taken, and 15% more HP Essentially, gives you a bit more survival. Okay, but nothing major.

Swift III
(and lower ranks)
8% Reduces SP usage and cooldown by 9% You get to use your abilities quicker, but it's hardly noticeable.
You should probably reroll this one.

That's all there is to it. Have fun rolling (and rerolling) Traits until you get some good ones. If you haven't already, check out our Anime Saga codes for some free crystals and currency.

the switch 2 logo accompanied by the console

There is over three weeks to go until the Nintendo Switch 2 launches worldwide despite the ongoing worries regarding US tariff changes and other worldwide events hindering supply, though I am happy to confirm that I was able to grab not one, but two pre-orders of the Mario Kart World version of the console ahead of release.

Why two? Protection in case one gets cancelled. We have all been there before on a new console release where a company takes on too many pre-orders and ends up cancelling one, leaving you without a system at all on launch or having to scrounge each page, refreshing every minutes in hopes that pre-orders randomly appear (they don't, but we pray they do.) I'll likely send a console pack or give the second console to a family member for cost if I end up getting both. No way am I joining the scalper hoard. No sir.

Thankfully, with three weeks to go, some sites are starting to add more pre-orders, but that does beg the question: Were you able to secure your own pre-orders? And if so, what games do you plan to get at launch? (There is a lot after all, I don't know how I'm going to find time for both Mario Kart and the new DELTARUNE chapters, to name a few.)

And if you weren't able to secure a pre-order, how come? Were you unlucky? Are you giving the system a miss at launch on purpose to wait for another version of the console down the line, or waiting for the holiday season? I'm genuinely curious what everyone was able to secure and would love to hear about your experiences in the comments below.

Either way. If you did get the console, I hope to see you all in Mario Kart World for the next month, where I will be playing nothing but the new knockout mode, sweating on Rosalina, trying to climb whatever arbitrary ranked or points system the game has.

See you there!

Flaming Door in Doom The Dark Ages

Chapter 2 of Doom The Dark Ages introduces you to Hebeth, and there's an intriguing secret hidden behind the Flaming Door, which is a tough puzzle to crack.

The flame-engulfed doorway can be found towards the end of Hebeth, and it's an easy one to miss. The doors are always on flames, which have to be turned off to discover the secret, and contribute towards getting 100% progress on the mission.

How to solve the Fire Door puzzle in Doom The Dark Ages

It's very hard to miss the flaming doors due to their appearance. To solve the puzzle, look to the door that's opposite of the puzzle.

  • This door will be locked, but you'll find a metal lock to its right. You'll need to use your Shield Saw to break the lock. This will open the locked door but that's downstairs. Once you break the lock, just jump through it.
  • Vault into the room (through the gap left by the broken superheat lock) and get inside. Hop down to the lower level, and collect all the pickups. You'll find a hole in the wall next to the door. Go in through the hole.

  • You'll come across a valve that has to be turned all the way to extinguish the flames. Get close to the valve, and you'll get the option to interact with it.
  • After turning the valve all the way, Shield Charge through the door, and approach the Fire Door. The door will no longer have the flames, allowing you to move inside.

Is Solving the Fire Door puzzle worth it?

If you're concentrating solely on the main quests and don't care about the side content, you can avoid this puzzle. The room offers you 9x Gold pickups, that are helpful for upgrading your weapons and Shield.

You'll also encounter a Hell Knight at this location, and defeating him will open a path to getting a Life Sigil. The rewards could have been better, but it's still a cool secret mission to complete. Moreover, completing it is necessary if you're looking to 100% the game.

mcdonalds pokemon cards 20-25 key art

McDonald's Pokémon cards are back for 2025 with a distinct Dragon-type theme. The set launched earlier in 2025 in the States but is now slowly being shipped elsewhere around the world. The UK is expected to get it around Summer.

For any collectors out there or those trying to see if the cards they pulled from their small pack of a couple of cards are worth a quick buck, it's worth seeing what's on offer and how much other trainers are paying for them to complete the master's set of 15 cards.

Below you'll find a full list of every card on offer, as well as their current value. Note that these values are subject to change, so we have mashed together the lowest and highest prices we have seen from the set so far (not including those who are just asking for way too much money than they need to be.)

All Pokémon McDonald's card prices for 2025

https://twitter.com/McDonalds/status/1881719081621127253

Prices are fluctuating all the time with the cards, with some selling for as low as a couple of bucks, while some can get a lot more. Most collectors, though, are looking to get a bundle of all 15 cards to save buying greasy food—can you blame them?

Card Number Type Current Prices
Charizard 001/015 Fire $2-5
Pikachu 002/015 Electric $1-6
Miraidon 003/015 Electric $0.30-1
Jigglypuff 004/015 Psychic $0.10-0.20
Hatenna 005/015 Psychic $0.10-0.20
Dragapult 006/015 Psychic $0.10-1
Quagsire 007/015 Fighting $0.10-0.20
Koraidon 008/015 Fighting $1-3
Umbreon 009/015 Dark $0.50
Hydreigon 010/015 Dark $0.40-0.50
Roaring Moon 011/015 Dark $1-6
Dragonite 012/015 Dragon $2-5
Eevee 013/015 Normal $0.20-0.50
Rayquaza 014/015 Normal $0.20-0.50
Drampa 015/015 Normal $2-3

In total, you can get the whole set for around $15-20 if you play your cards right, the price of a couple of Happy Meals without the need to either waste food or eat the amount of grease that comes in each meal. If you want to get a couple of cards, they are pretty inexpensive this time around and aren't as expensive as some in previous years.

Either way, good luck with your collecting, trainers! Hope you get the cards you were looking for.
