Don't Wake The Beast is a blend of Thief and Spelunky where you must let sleeping dragons lie

Don’t Wake The Beast is sort of that sequence plus Spelunkified procgen levels and Thief-esque stealth mechanics. Disturb its rest, and it’ll smash the scenery apart pursuing you to the exit. While this is a loot-driven experience, the game has a nifty way of punishing avarice. Every pearl necklace or gemstone you pocket adds to your weight, making your footsteps louder. Thankfully, you have a zipline which is useful for speedy withdrawal behind cover....

Helldivers 2 devs once considered a licensed cosmetic system that basically let you hallucinate a different world

To put that another way, Arrowhead once envisaged a system in which individualHelldiverswouldhallucinate other licenses. But also, it’s fun. Find the relevant extract from Jorjani’s answer below. I would focus on the spirit of the statements rather than the specific wording. We’ve discussed a cosmetic system in the past where only what the gamer sees changes. However, this was rejected because it could cause confusion during the game. The terrain or object that one person is talking about may appear different to another person....

Assassin's Creed Shadows outlines its stealth systems

This applies to both interiors and exteriors," explains the post. Likewise, “Naoe and Yasuke are the first protagonists able to go prone in the series.” Perhaps most interesting is the return of double assassinations, a one-time iconic feature of the series. Outlaws continues toreceive patches to improve its own stealth systems post-release. I love a good lie down in a video game, so these changes sound appealing to me. I still hate that enemies can out-level a knife, though....

Avowed's rickety combat feels like the undoing of its lush fungal world

“God-touched”, in this case, means “fungal and a bit mermaidy”. It means that you’re able to make rainbow toadstools sprout from your eyesocket in the character creator. I have no idea how novel thisreallyis within the overarching Pillars world of Eora. I hope the game develops these reactions into a sticky web of entangled mycophilia/mycophobia. After all, she’s an absolute plonker. The backgrounds are broadly familiar. you’re able to be a war hero, renowned for their grit and charisma....

Call Of Duty Black Ops 6: All campaign safe codes

This unlocks a broadcast which reveals the safe code. Get ready to play the piano and look at a room full of props. This is the riskier route to take. For the stealthy route, avoid the main entrance in favour of exploring the left alleyway by the restaurant. You’ll see abunch of boxes near a white van. Climb atop them and look for avent. you’re able to open this vent and sneak along it....

Here are the best Stalker 2 guns to get early on

In the bar, talk to Warlock and ask him for a job. You’ll receive the side quest “Warlock’s Debtor”. It’s a fast-firing, surprisingly accurate, reliable close-range weapon which is also very lightweight. Which means you don’t need to be lugging around as many types of ammo wherever you go! The Spitter is acquired during the dual side-quests “A Big Score” and “Deceive TheDeceiver”. Kill them first, then loot the body of chief buddy Sashko Cheery to obtain the Spitter SMG....

Bloodshed is Vampire Survivors meets Doom and it's a surprisingly moreish bloodbath

And as you slaughter the horde, they drop EXP orbs that level you up. It’s Doom, meanwhile, in the way it looks and feels. You’ve got that nippy cornering and the low hop that’s frightfully fast. And it’s a shame that the upgrades don’t appear to combine with one another. So far, they all seemingly exist as separate entities. So no pairing the sawed-off with the lightning for some bolt-slinging shotgun....

Control 2 will be an action-RPG, and the first game is getting a significant update in 2025

Wasn’t the first game an action-RPG? Besides, isn’t every action game an action-RPG these days? Levelling-up has become an industry-wide syndrome. Go on, name an action game that doesn’t have RPG-style elements. No wait, don’t actually do that. I was being rhetorical. Read the rest of this post first. and thatAlan Wake 2has now sold 1.8 million units, bless him. Damn you, Roi, why do you mock me so? Such are the burdens of games journalists, the hardest-working people on Earth....

Back 4 Blood 2 appears to be a thing, which is a shame, because I'd rather play a new Evolve

Odds are you’ve wandered into the local antique shop. WellI, friends, am that bellyacher. Here I stand at the “bar”, gesticulating wildly over my non-existent glass. In this scenario, the confused bartender/antique shop owner is Turtle Rock, developers ofLeft 4 DeadhomageBack 4 Blood. I guess we should talk about the Back 4 Blood 2 rumour first. On hisiStunt page, Hutch mentions that he’s “lead performer” on “Gobi 2”. The original Back 4 Bloodis listed as “Gobi” on SteamDB....

Classic Counter-Strike map Train returns in CS2 with a total overhaul, making it "60% cloudier"

Train has historically been a fairly bright, bland map that takes place in a derelict trainyard. There’s graffiti on large tankers and visible rust. Cracks in the concrete. One of the key differences between old and new Train, though, is the widening of sightlines. Now those sightlines have been opened up a bit, meaning it should make for more varied encounters. Otherwise, Valve have also updatedOverpassa bit, “based on community feedback”....
