Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, made by Saber Interactive, is the sequel to a beloved 2011 shooter and has been praised for, among other things, feeling like an old-school Xbox 360-era game. But some have marshaled that classic mystique into a rebuke of modern games that don't conform to certain views they have about…

     Asus' latest gaming mouse costs more than a new graphics card

Asus has just announced that its new super light, wireless PC gaming mouse is now being unleashed into the wild, but its minuscule 47g weight comes at a massive price. In fact, you could genuinely buy a brand new gaming GPU for the same cost as the new Asus ROG Harpe Ace Extreme.

Even if this new Asus mouse does turn out to be one of the best gaming mouse options for pro players, you'll have to really want to reduce your rodent weight if you're going to spend that amount of money on it. The Asus ROG Harpe Ace Extreme is currently listed at a price of £239.99 inc VAT in the UK. Once you remove VAT, that comes down to £199, which works out at around $263.

     How to unlock the Frostpunk 2 Council Hall

How do you unlock the Council Hall in Frostpunk 2? Government and democracy might be a divisive subject, but when it comes to running your own city, you'll soon find that some form of democracy is essential to keeping the peace.

As you progress through Frostpunk 2 and build your city from the ground up, one of the most essential mechanics is the Council Hall, in which you can try to pass laws on a range of subjects. Doing so not only changes how your story unfolds in the city-building game, but can appease or infuriate different Factions. Certain laws can even improve goods manufacturing, food production, and Frostpunk 2 Heatstamps income, so here's how to get started with democracy.

     Cities Skylines 2 roads inspire new strategy game from Manor Lords pub

Roads. Cities Skylines 2 is all about the roads. You can pour millions into the school budget and build the best healthcare system in the world, but if the roundabouts are in the wrong places and the highway lanes aren't correctly laid out, it doesn't matter. Given Colossal Order's formative project, the intensely detailed transport series Cities In Motion, it makes perfect sense. But while CO has turned its attention towards bigger, bolder, city-builder visions, a new strategy game has emerged to fill the gap in robust traffic and tarmac management. It's just been signed by Manor Lords and Cataclismo publisher Hooded Horse, and it turns the best and most vital part of Cities Skylines 2 into a complete, standalone strategy game. This is Junxions.

     30 Minecraft build ideas for 1.21

What are some cool Minecraft build ideas? The sandbox game remains one of the best of all time over a decade on from its release, but such a long time in one game means you might be running out of ideas.

Luckily, there are plenty of unique builds, farms, and creations out there to inspire your next Minecraft project. Unlike our favorite Minecraft house ideas or Minecraft castles, for example, this list is more varied, and contains plenty of inspiration. From a stylish Minecraft Nether Portal to automated farms, from massive decorative builds to homely aquariums, these ideas can be copied directly or simply used to inspire your future Minecraft builds.

     Starfield could have been a management game, but the feature was cut

According to a former Bethesda developer, Starfield almost had a management system. It was cut due to scheduling conflicts, but the mining resources and shipbuilding mechanics were originally going to link up. Starfield would have become a "strategy game/resource management game" on top of an RPG, as you'd need to send materials to factories to build spaceships. I love the sound of this, but fully understand why it had to be cut. Starfield is a huge game, so sometimes you've got to decide what to keep, and what to throw away.

     Genshin Impact tier list - the best characters in 5.0

Looking for a Genshin Impact tier list? There are currently 92 Genshin Impact characters available, providing you with a wide variety of candidates to construct your dream team. But with so many weapons, elementals, talents, ascension bonuses, and constellation upgrades, finding your favorites can be challenging.

Don't let the placement of the characters on our Genshin Impact tier list deter you from pulling on the next character banner. While base stats and elemental abilities are important, the value of a character also depends on personal playstyle, available weapons and artifacts, and team composition. It doesn't matter if your favorite Genshin Impact character is on one of the lower tiers; you can still make it work with our recommended Genshin Impact builds. Being on a lower tier in the free PC game means that there are better alternatives, or the character needs a very specific build or team to shine. We've spent hundreds of hours trying different variations of teams in Spiral Abyss to establish who the best characters are in Genshin Impact.

     Is Frostpunk 2 on Game Pass?

Is Frostpunk 2 on Game Pass? Few games capture the post-apocalypse like Frostpunk; the last remnants of civilization cling to life in a frozen wasteland, and they look to you to guide them to salvation - or at least look to you to make sure they don't freeze to death in their sleep. To do this, tough decisions must be made, and the survival of your colony sits on a knife edge, teetering with every umm and ah.

Frostpunk 2 is the successor to one of the greatest strategy games in recent years. Compared to contemporaries like Civilization 6, Age of Empires, and Crusader Kings, Frostpunk more than earns its place as one of the best city-building games ever, with a focus on politics and humanity over simple city planning. Check out our Frostpunk 2 review if you want to know what we think of it.

     Best Metroidvania games to play in 2024

What are the best Metroidvania games on PC? With mechanics that have spread to all genres, few games beat a sprawling Metroidvania. Mostly 2D with some straightforward combat, tricky platforming, and light RPG mechanics, a Metroidvania demands you use all the abilities at your disposal to explore castles, alien-infested planets, whimsical forests, and so on.

Nintendo's Super Metroid and Konami's Castlevania: Symphony of the Night popularized the Metroidvania, but the genre has come into its own since these inaugural titles. While many of the best Metroidvania PC games try to recapture the spirit of their forebears, others expand into new territories by incorporating mechanics from pinball and soulslikes. The result is a dynamic genre that offers a wealth of familiar and fresh experiences - some recent, many of them cheap, and a few of them some of the best PC games ever made.

The existence of the game was first confirmed by Cal Kestis actor Cameron Monaghan, during an Ocala Comic Con panel. "We're working on a third and we're in the process of doing that right now," said Monaghan, which is about as straightforward an affirmative as one could want. It was also double-confirmed this February, following news of layoffs at EA, via Eurogamer.

Urban Myth Dissolution Center also coming to PlayStation 5 PS5

Shueisha Games has revealed that it will also release Urban Myth Dissolution Center on the PS5. The game had been previously confirmed for release on only the Nintendo Switch and PC, so that means the company will now release it on three different platforms.

The Japanese press release also confirmed that there will be physical releases of Urban Myth Dissolution Center for both PS5 and Switch, at least in Japan. The PC version will only be available digitally via Steam.

Urban Myth Dissolution Center will appear as a mystery adventure game with pixel-based character and background graphics. As the title suggests, the game will have players unravel urban myths by collecting evidence from both physical locations and social media. The player will assume the role of Azami Fukurai, a girl who has just newly joined the eponymous facility.

Shueisha Games previously had Urban Myth Dissolution Center showcased at the Indie World segment of the Japanese August 2024 Nintendo Direct. The company has also set up a Steam page for the game's PC release.

Both the Steam page and the new Japanese press release confirm that this game will support subtitles in Japanese, English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, and Chinese (both Traditional and Simplified).

Urban Myth Dissolution Center will be available for Nintendo Switch, PC, and PlayStation 5 worldwide in February 2025.

The post Urban Myth Dissolution Center Will Also Appear on PS5 appeared first on Siliconera.

If you do not finish Chapter 13 of Celebrity Summer Experience before October 2, then you will not be able to access Ordeal Call III within the year. You will only need to clear Celebrity Summer Experience (and Fuyuki). However, Ordeal Call III contains spoilers for the Epic of Remnant chapters, as well as Heian-kyo (5.5), Traum (6.5), and the first two Ordeal Calls.

Fate/Grand Order is readily available on mobile devices and Ordeal Call III is only on the Japanese server for now.
