Collect a wrench and crowbar Enter greenhouse Repair distillation kit Carry out detective mission Wait for Emma to do her thing Another Death In The Family mission guide This one takes a bit of fiddling around, but if you can make it happen, it’s really satisfying watching everything play out. You get to kill Madam Carlisle without even causing a scene. It technically wasn’t even you! Here’s how. Collect a wrench and crowbar In order to get into the greenhouse and do your thing, you’ll need a wrench and a crowbar....

At the top of Hitman’s GOG store page, a note states that an “Internet connection is required to access Escalation missions, Elusive Targets or user-created Contracts. Story and bonus missions can be played offline.” Further down the page, a slew of 1/5 star reviews point out that an internet is also required for features such as “unlocking weapons, items, outfits, starting locations and more.” GOG’s main selling-point as a store is that it offers games in a DRM-free form....

Sadly, this hasn’t been the case for everyone over the last couple of days. Numerous reports have emerged since Wednesday that Horizon Zero Dawn has been nigh on unplayable for lots of members of the press, and our friends at Digital Foundry even went as far as saying it’s a “deeply disappointing” port. This hasn’t been my experience of the game, and I must admit I was slightly baffled by the sheer number of fixes Sony said would be included in the Day One patch (which has since arrived)....

This may sound a bit silly, but I feel like Far Cry has gone a bit forgotten. Sure, yes, absolutely, they make one every other year. But I mean this Far Cry, the very first one. People who want to look cool and pretend the entire game wasn’t one enormous clown car of broken AI like to say how Far Cry 2 was the best game in the series....

Riot’s already trialled a beta version of ranked and it’s on the cusp of launching it for real. Below we’ve broken down everything we know so far about it, and how it all works. Stay tuned for further updates as the mode evolves! Competitive Act 2 UPDATE: As Act 1 comes to a close, Riot’s already begun laying out plans for its next season of content. Namely, it’s introducing something called ‘Act Ranks’, a snazzy badge which shows off how you performed in each Act....

That was also the experience of developer Blackbird Interactive as it began to develop Shipbreaker and brought it to Early Access. The theme quickly crystallised, but figuring out how freeform cutting would actually work was a lot harder, setting stern technical challenges that were never really solved, posing questions about player freedom that resulted in surprising answers, and causing spaceship designers’ nightmares. Shipbreaker emerged from a studio game jam project produced after the completion of (the excellent) 2016 RTS Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak....

How to get Outfits in Genshin Impact Keqing’s Outfit (Opulent Splendor) Introduced in Version 2.4, Opulent Splendor is a formal version of Keqing’s normal Outfit. While it can only be purchased with Genesis Crystals, it’s on sale right now as part of the Lantern Rite event, so you’ll be able to snag it for the reduced price of 1,350 Genesis Crystals rather than the usual 1,680, which will be the regular price after Version 2....

This guide will cover everything you need to know about Link Summons, including how to Link Summon and how to find Link Summon requirements. What is a Link Monster in Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel? A Link Monster is a Monster card with the Link tag. Link Monsters, just like Synchro, Fusion 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....

On this page: How to unlock every Standard Character in Vampire Survivors How to unlock every Secret Character in Vampire Survivors Does Vampire Survivors have an Unofficial Character?

As a serious businessman, I tend to get really serious about games where I’m tasked with running a business. I agonise about optimisation, and can sometimes get so wrapped up in deliberating over the placement, configuration and pricing of every last wossname, that I spend less time playing than I do gravely stroking my chin while looking at wikis. I’ve had loads of games of Planet Zoo, for example, where I burn through the majority of a six hour play session without spending more than about five minutes unpaused, because I’m that dead set on making sure everything is just right....

Honestly, as much as I admire the game and its brilliance, I reckon it might be a bit too much for me. And as FromSoftware set the Soulslike standard, I find myself hoping that future Soulslikes don’t get too caught up in trying to mimick Elden Ring.

The event actually includes two assignments, each sending you on a series of missions that you can complete for “hefty” progression rewards and special Christmas cosmetics. The missions aren’t that different from regular ones, as best I can tell, except for the addition of creepy little elves that scuttle along cave ceilings and walls. If you can catch one and stuff it in your robo-mining cart, you’ll earn double season XP for that mission....

That shout is: very good. While this trailer still doesn’t show much, Heart Machine say they “will have more details about Solar Ash in the coming months”. For now, the blurb: “Journey through a surreal, vivid and highly stylised world filled with mystery, wild high-speed traversal, endearing characters, and massive enemy encounters.” Solar Ash was announced as a timed Epic Games Store exclusive last year, though the trailer’s description says it’ll be on Steam in 2021 - no mention of Epic at all, even if its store page is still up....

As I’ve said on previous occasions, I’m a sucker for HyperX’s signature scarlet red and black colour scheme (red is, after all, my favourite colour), and the Cloud II Wireless is easily one of their best-looking headsets yet. The aluminium frame contrasts well with the matt black ear cups, and it generally feels a lot more upmarket than the similarly-priced Cloud Flight. The Cloud II Wireless has also ditched the Flight’s LED lighting, too, which means you now no longer have to compromise the headset’s excellent 30 hour battery life for an extra touch of style....

One week on, I’ve left my mushrooms by the wayside. I’m playing with a deck I copied from a clever internet person, and it sucks. The time, I mean. Not the deck. The deck isn’t just too good, it’s too good in a specifically dull way. It revolves around “elusive” units, which can only be blocked by other elusive units. I slap as many of them as I can on the board, buff them, and charge....

Get the Intel Arc A750 graphics card for $290 The good ship Rock Paper Shotgun has yet to review the cards - although there is an excellent article announcing them. However, we can rely on the testimony of one ‘Will Judd’ from Digital Foundry, who claims in his Arc A750 review that the A750 and A770 offer “legitimately good rasterised performance in modern games, oversized RT performance and features that range from novel (Smooth Sync, AV1 encode, DisplayPort 2....

The good news is that Doom Eternal will still run at a full 60fps when played on a 4K display, and it still supports HDR, too. In fact, the Stadia experience of the game should be more or less identical to what you’ll get playing on an Xbox One X, which is also set to upscale to 4K from a resolution of 1800p. Those playing on a PS4 Pro, meanwhile, will have to make do with up-sampling from 1440p....

“KRZ is a tour through a ghostly other-America, and is so dedicated to taking its sweet, gentle time about it that it even saddles one of its lead characters with a limp early on in order to ensure you do the same,” Alec wrote before he died, in a piece all about the best non-violent games. “It will make your mind churn with both emotion and analysis, but never in an exhausting manner; instead, in one that will make you question yourself as well as its characters....

Death in Sifu means you age, and if you die lots, you age faster. Hit 70 and you won’t be rising from the dirt again. Instead, you’ll have to start your quest for vengeance over from the beginning. While it can be tempting to cling onto your youth for this reason alone, I actually liked growing old, with my beard and my harder-hitting attacks. Not only do you develop a relationship with your body in Sifu, but your trips to the afterlife also help you master its myriad of moves....

Whereas Village’s original Mercenaries mode limited players to Ethan Winters, The Mercenaries Additional Orders lets you step into the varying height shoes of Dimitrescu, Chris, and magnetic Nicholas Cage impersonator Karl Heisenberg. Kinoshita said these three each have their own flavour, with Chris merging ranged gun combat with close-quarters fisticuffs, for example. Heisenberg obviously relies on his Magneto shtick, while Dimistrescu is tall. That’s it, she’s tall. It makes her really good at throwing furniture....
