Anyone even slightly clued into interactive fiction would rightly point out that hyperlinks are hardly new to the form. Twine is built on them: they create its choice-based branching pathways. But The Impossible Bottle’s hyperlinks are different, because they don’t take you to new pages. They instead form an interface to a classic text adventure, the kind of game where you type go north and down to explore a world, and issue commands like pick up flashlight to interact with it....

Below, we’ll cover what a Fusion Monster is and how to Fusion Summon in Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel, so that you can create a powerful Fusion deck. What is a Fusion Monster in Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel? A Fusion Monster is a Monster card with the Fusion tag. Monsters that are Fusion Monsters, just like Synchro, Link and XYZ Monsters, are stored in your Extra Deck. This means that you won’t put them into your Main Deck or draw them during your Draw Phase....

Below we’ll explain where you need to go to find horses in V Rising, and how to claim one for yourself. We’ll also go over horse stats, and how to keep your horse alive and out of danger. How to get a horse in V Rising Horses in V Rising don’t spawn naturally in the Farbane Woods, so you’ll need to venture into the Dunley Farmlands in order to find your first horse....

Thankfully, there’s a fairly simple answer. Below we’ll walk you through how to get Iron in V Rising, and what you should be prepared to find once you get there. How to get Iron Ore in V Rising There are three places to find Iron Ore in V Rising: The Haunted Iron Mine in the Dunley Farmlands. Iron Ore veins in the Cursed Forest. Iron Ore veins in the Dunley Farmlands....

On this page: How to unlock the Nail Gun in Multiplayer or Warzone How to unlock the Nail Gun in Zombies How to unlock the Nail Gun in Multiplayer or Warzone To unlock the Nail Gun in Warzone, it’s best you hop into a game of Multiplayer to do the following: Get 5 Eliminations with Special Weapons in 15 different completed matches. It sounds simple enough. Just remember: you have to actually finish the match or you won’t get that tick on your progress bar....

“Developer partners have opted to donate to specific charities focused on fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. The selected charities are Partners in Health, Doctors Without Borders, Direct Relief, and International Rescue Committee.” Humble say that all games published by them will be on sale up to 50% off. Tactical card game Slay The Spire is a goodie on the list alongside creature-catching game TemTem and a handful of other options. It’s a decent list, if not a long one, which is what Humble say they’re working towards expanding....

A viking architect by the name of “Fyxate” posted a short tour of their Valheim home. Everything about it makes me shudder with bitterness, and yet, I can’t help but be wowed from start to finish. Kicking off the tour, they’ve got this lovely little walkway through a nestle of pine trees that snakes up a rocky incline, and leads to an entrance so intricate, I will be stealing its design with immediate effect....

It’s also a game you are encouraged to play with other people, and I am deeply suspicious of other people. So on the face of it, Valheim does not have much to offer me. But I’ll tell you this much: I think it looks amazing. My understanding is that not everyone agrees. But those people are incorrect. Valheim is pretty low res by 2021 standards - it’s not “pixel art”, but it’s definitely an early 2000s kind of “boxy”....

In typical Barlow fashion, the entirety of the footage isn’t easily spooled through. From one starting clip you’re able to watch it, flick back and forth through the recording, and pause it to use the in-game search tool to focus on a face or object on screen. Selecting it will then take you to that face or a similar object in a different clip, and eventually you build up a much fuller catalogue of footage....

Ubisoft say that Myths Of The Eastern Realm will add a new explorable area along with new characters and story. As the name suggests, the new DLC will trade Fenyx’s Greek myth setting for one inspired by Chinese mythology instead. It also ditches Fenyx for the new hero Ku who “embarks on a journey to rescue mortals in a new open world, battling monstrous new enemies using a unique fighting style based on Chinese martial arts....

So, I didn’t get my mitts on Inkbound, but did see a quick 20-minute presentation led by creative director Andrew Krausnick who took us through a portion of a run at breakneck speed. The game is very much taking the roguelike template of say, Hades or Dead Cells, but putting more of a tactical spin on combat with up to four other allies. Rather than slicing and dicing through rooms, you’re making the most of the turns you’re given....

Today we’re making it easier to support RPS - and changing the way you access your benefits if you already do. For starters, you can now support RPS directly via the site itself. We no longer take payment via Humble Bundle. All existing RPS user accounts have been converted into Reedpop ID accounts. You still use the same username and password to sign in as before, but this account can be used across multiple ReedPop websites, including our cousins at board game site Dicebreaker....

Jurassic World Evolution 2 is moving away from the Muertes Archipelago, letting players build their dino parks in new biomes, like deserts and forests. Sure! Make more giant bad-idea parks across the globe! I’m sure nothing will go wrong putting more killer lizards everywhere! My personal gripes with Jurassic World aside, the sequel does sound full of good stuff. It has several new game modes, like a sandbox and something called Chaos Theory, which “offers a re-imagined take on pivotal moments from the Jurassic World film franchise....

OK fine, I guess I’ll elaborate. I suppose that’s my job. Right so, remember Hotline Miami? Anger Foot is a first-person Hotline Miami. I doubt even developer Free Lives would find that comparison too reductive, to be honest. The two are so structurally similar it would be a bit pointless to deny that Anger Foot cribs a lot from Dennaton’s work. You begin each level unarmed but dangerously legged. Tapping E springs your weird green gams out in front of you, smashing open any doors or kitchen cupboards that are unfortunate enough to be in range....

But autumn is also the season when the laws of nature gets tweaked, and the dead wake up again to haunt the living for a day. Let’s salute this column with an act of impromptu necromancy, then. One freshly resurrected Kieron Gillen, to talk about his un-life after games journalism. He’s always been the goth-est of us, after all. You’re one of the few game journalists who did NOT become a narrative designer after leaving RPS, Kieron....

Tripwire’s zombshooter is about gory wave defense, with sloppy guns, lots of feedback, and cosmetic nonsense piled on top. It’s six years-old and getting on a bit now, but I’d still rather play in Killing Floor 2’s fight pit than, say, the much less gratifying Back 4 Blood. If you would too, you’ve got until July 14th at 4pm to add it to your account at the Epic Games Store....

Here’s the launch trailer for the new smack-’em-about: It’s been six years since KOF14 and KOFXV sounds like a suitably substantial followup given the wait. It’s got 39 playable characters at launch, a story mode which apparently offers the climax of the series, and new Shatter Strike abilities during fights. I’m not expert enough in any fighting game to fully understand the ramifications of the latter, but I have enjoyed reading comments from players that say things like, “I wonder is it possible for Chars like Terry to combo from lights....

I was sent the white and grey version of the Logitech G203 Lightsync for review, but it’s also available in an all-black design, too, for the same price. As you’d expect from a budget gaming mouse, the Logitech G203 Lightsync is pretty straightforward. Its symmetrical chassis uses the same smooth plastic throughout, but it still provides a decent amount of grip during long gaming sessions. Weighing in at just 85g, it’s lovely and light to move around your mouse mat, although its pint-sized dimensions of 116x62x38mm means it’s definitely a better fit for those with smaller hands....

There’s a trio of redesigned rodents in this family: the standard G502 X I’ve got on review here, the wireless G502 X Lightspeed, and the G502 X Plus, which is essentially the G502 X Lightspeed with added RGB lighting. Since prices max out at £150 / $160 for the G502 X Plus, the two Lightspeed-equipped mice could be less expensive alternatives to Razer’s new DeathAdder V3 Pro and Basilisk V3 Pro – but as the cheapest and most direct successor the G502 Hero, it’s the G502 X that’s likely to see the most desk action....
