Elden Ring lore and story explained

But the two most important and arguably the most powerful are the Greater Will and the Frenzied Flame. Throughout Elden Ring the player encounters many Two Fingers, most of them dead. One of the only ones remaining lives inside theRoundtable Hold. It sent a star hurtling into the world carrying anElden Beast.

Enotria: The Last Song's demo reveals a sunnier Soulslike with a powerful sense of theatre

You don’t have a mask, however. Land a finishing move in a brawl and your equipped mask will “awaken”, sprouting additional bonuses. Perhaps that’ll be my conclusion after 40 hours of play, Enotria’s estimated minimum completion time. But the set dressing is undeniably appealing. And there are some promising mechanical wrinkles beyond the first few scuffles. Take “primal elements”. These aren’t the usual water-beats-fire gambit, but a curious medley of positive and negative status modifiers....

Hammer of the gods comes down on the weapons of Hades 2 in the roguelike's latest patch, but in a good way

It’s like the hammer of Hephaestus himself was put to work on the entire armory. A large number of its upgrades have been cut and replaced with new effects. I count eight new upgrades with six being removed. The Witch’s Staff and the whirligig wound-making of the Umbral Flames seem to be the most affected here. But also: pow! As is often the case with Supergiant patches, there are a lot of small but significant changes....

Deeply unusual gardening game Grunn’s shear snip deserves every award Geoff Keighley has ever invented

Play Grunn, innit. Ok, so look. I really dislike it when people use on acid! Lets try something else: Grunn is both crisp and blurry, like the morning after a house party. I was right to carry on, it turns out. Grunns greatest pleasure was just around the corner… (It’s the shears. I was trying to be mysterious, but it’s the shears again. They’re really great.)

Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree hollows out everything you loved about Elden Ring, and it's brilliant

Just don’t do it. I’ll be talking about a bunch of stuff that’sSPOILERY. Life In Jars is this YouTuber I’ve followed for a while. He’ll report on the results, which are often tremendous. Look at theLIFEin that jar! The little wriggly lads just wriggling around. The blobs whose job is to float and squidge indiscriminately. It’s a reminder that bog water is rather beautiful, actually. What resides in the shadowy dome of the Big Tree is horrendous!...

Baldur's Gate 3 once had a portable hole, but Swen Vincke says it would have been a "crime against humanity"

“We had to remove it, but it was fantastic.” One of those things was, in fact, a bottomless pit. Bypassing carrying capacity limits would just be the start of it. Oh, you mean within Larian in terms of incubation? But there’s always stuff happening that you never see, Vincke began. The world is sandboxy, and within that they are playing with their favourite genres. I get to play with horror, you know, one of my favourite genres, in the storytelling....

Helldivers 2 Major Order turns planet into black hole as rumours of returning Illuminate faction intensify

Great work, Inferno-plungers. I’m sure the consequences of this will be neither cosmic nor horrible. Interstellar spore levels have already sharply decreased in every system.

Mark my words, young divers. Thanks to plucky RPS spin-off sitePCGamerfor joining the dots.

Here's a demo for Megacopter, a Desert Strike parody with a splash of Mars Attacks

Is it a nuanced parody of the Strike series? It doesn’t feel like it. Did I enjoy the demo? Does it have a crawling tentacle boss called Queen Oildusa? Also yes, and will you kindly stop asking questions so I can write the rest of this article. Here’s a trailer. It’s a great on-the-go game, based on 30 minutes with the demo over the weekend.
