You find the perfect, idyllic spot to set up camp. You take a relaxing walk down to the river to fish. You gun down your fellow villager with an assault rifle. Wait... what? Ah, don't worry, that's just Longvinter, the genuinely decent-looking survival game and life sim hybrid that, for some reason, gives you military grade weapons. If Palworld was 'Pokémon with guns,' then this is certainly the Animal Crossing equivalent. Read the rest of the story... View the full article

Human Torch and The Thing completed the First Family in Marvel Rivals on Feb. 21. Now, players want another group of misfits to be fully together in the game. That family of misfits is obviously none other than the Guardians of the Galaxy. Players discussed their hopes for having Gamora and Drax the Destroyer in the game on Reddit on Feb. 21 so that the original MCU Guardians are complete. The conversation was sparked after one fan said that they should have a Team-up ability, similarly to how Fantastic Four all have one now that Johnny and Ben are added. View the full article

Avowed’s Strangled Adra is one of the collectibles hidden across the Living Lands. Interacting with the Strangled Adra will give you a good chunk of XP and is also how you unlock the “Pillars of Eternity” achievement. While these are some of the more apparent collectibles in the game, it’s still easy to miss some Strangled Adra because they can be a bit out of the way. However, it’s worth going off the main path to find them, as they are a helpful way to more quickly level up. View the full article

Avowed places you in the role of a Godlike individual with connections to the mysterious Gods of the game’s realm. Your unique, mushroom-like, appearance signifies your connection to the Gods, but what do you get out of the deal?

Obsidian Entertainment is “happy” with how Avowed‘s sales are turning up, though they did not provide concrete numbers, a new report indicates. Carrie Patel, the game’s director, also commented on the game’s rocky road to launch, saying that she would like to revisit the world of Eora. According to a Feb. 21 report by Bloomberg‘s Jason Schreier, Avowed had a less-than-stellar journey from concept to launch, having started development all the way back in 2018 only for the initial project to be completely canned. After Xbox purchased Obsidian, Avowed had to be started over, with a new game director brought on board. The game was downsized and changed, but luckily things turned out well, as Obsidian told Schreier it was “happy with sales so far,” but concrete figures weren’t mentioned. Game director Patel, who led the project after development was rebooted, said more games could be built upon Avowed‘s foundation and that she “would love to see us do more with it.” View the full article

The season 1.5 update for Marvel Rivals introduced two new heroes, The Thing and Human Torch, along with a new Central Park map. But one hero balance change has players in a tizzy. Mere hours after the patch went live, Marvel Rivals gamers took to the internet to voice their displeasure with Tony Stark. Iron Man’s Unibeam damage was buffed in the update, from 120 to 140 per second, and from 180 to 190 per second during Armor Overdrive. And it’s been felt hard, according to some.

Your skill with a sword can take you far in your adventures as Henry, but some situations may call for a more devious approach. For that, you'll want to learn how to find and use poison in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Poison concoctions can be purchased from specific herbalists or brewed at an Alchemy Bench in Kingdom Come 2. Naturally, you'll need a recipe if you want to craft poisons. Thankfully, said herbalists do carry recipes you can purchase. Where to find poison in Kingdom Come 2 Bottles of poison can be found occasionally in the world or purchased from certain herbalists. For example, hidden in the woods north of Trosky Castle is Herbalist Barnaby, who is more than willing to provide for your poison needs. Screenshot by Destructoid You can find Barnaby caring for his herb garden at his house. Ask him about trade and he'll give you a list of potions for *****. Scroll down to the Poisons section for his selection of less-than-healthy brews. Screenshot by Destructoid Here are the three poisons you can find, purchase, or brew in the game: Dollmaker PoisonMakes running impossible, reduces weapon skills, and slowly reduces the target's health. Lullaby PoisonReduces the energy of the target to zero along with stamina regeneration. Bane PoisonMakes running impossible and reduces the health of a target. Designed to poison food. You can also purchase the recipes for Lullaby and Dollmaker poisons for a hefty fee. Read the recipes to unlock them in your alchemy book. Screenshot by Destructoid To the west is another herbalist who can sell you poisons and poison recipes. Head to the Nomad camp and speak with Aranka, the wife of the Voivode (camp leader). You may need to help the camp with its problems first, however. Screenshot by Destructoid Aranka sells both Bane and Dollmaker poison and the recipe for Bane poison. It's a good idea to visit her if you didn't get everything you need from Barnaby. How to use poison in Kingdom Come 2 Poison concoctions can be used to poison food in Kingdom Come 2. To poison food or drink, approach a pot of stew or a barrel of wine and hold the appropriate button or key for the "Pour potion" option that appears on your HUD: the E key for PC users; the A button on the Xbox pad; or the X on a PlayStation controller. Choose the poison you want from the menu that pops up and Henry will pour it in. You can also poison the food you have in your inventory and drop it on the ground. Screenshot by Destructoid While it won't make Henry an unofficial Witcher, you can also apply poison to weapons in the game. To do so, look for the poison in your inventory. Highlight the poison and press the E key (or A button/X button) for "Apply." This opens up a window showing you everything that can be poisoned. Pick a weapon and press "Confirm" to apply the poison. Screenshot by Destructoid Poison can be useful in a multitude of ways. Applying it to your weapon can make you even deadlier during combat. You can also poison enemy camps by spiking their food. I imagine it should also work well for hunting animals or culling a dangerous wolf pack. Whatever you do, try not to eat anything you've poisoned. Poor Henry has enough on his plate already.

Henry finds himself pulled into a cheeky joke during a party, but his involvement takes a bit of work. During a story mission, you're tasked with finding Florian's ring and pull off a prank in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Here's how to do it with style. During the story mission For Victory, Henry is roped into a prank initiated by a noble with a chip on his shoulder. The sub-objective is completely optional, but it's a fun distraction from the banal feast. To start, wait until the feast begins and then approach Knight Hermann Littlehead. You can find him near the end of the table opposite the one with Otto von Bergow. Screenshot by Destructoid Littlehead calls out to Henry as you approach. Pick the "Talk" option and then "Tell me more" when he brings up the feud with Knight Florian of Lomnitz, who's also at the party. Agree to help him with a prank. Littlehead tells Henry to find and retrieve a ring from Florian's chest, which is next to his bed "at the very top of Crone Tower." Screenshot by Destructoid Where to find Florian's ring at Trosky Castle Check your map for the objective marker, which is at the southernmost tower of Trosky Castle. Screenshot by Destructoid To get there, exit the room via the green door on the western wall and travel along the upper pathway to the other side. Screenshot by Destructoid Walk into the room at the end of the path and enter the door in the far corner next to the bench. Screenshot by Destructoid Go up the stairs past the door and keep climbing until you reach the top of the tower. You'll know you made it when you reach an attic-like room with slanted wooden walls. Screenshot by Destructoid Now that you're here, be sure to take off any equipment that can make noise. This includes armor and extra clothing. Wear nothing but a shirt, pants, and shoes for this next part, as you need to be as quiet as possible. Climb the short stairs and stop before the door. Beyond is a restricted area; you'll be asked to leave if you're caught. A guard patrols the rooms in this area, but luckily his route is easy to understand. The one you need to worry about is the guard who goes up and down the staircase past the door and stops in one of the rooms before going back down to pause and look out the window. Screenshot by Destructoid Note: Using a torch makes you more visible. If you're having trouble seeing, a Nighthawk potion can help. Open the door to peer inside. You can either wait for the guard to stop at the window across the way or follow him up the stairs. Screenshot by Destructoid Either way, you must enter the area and climb the stairs to the left. Crouch-walk to avoid noise. Climb the second set of stairs and enter the door on the right once you reach the top. Screenshot by Destructoid Florian's chest is under the window near the corner of the room. Screenshot by Destructoid The chest is locked with an easy lock, so you should be able to crack it even if you don't have a high lockpicking skill. Get the chest open and take Florian's Silver Ring near the bottom of the list. Leave the room quickly before the guard returns. He checks Florian's room on occasion, which means you need to be out of there before he arrives. Screenshot by Destructoid Return to the party, where the next step begins. How to finish the prank with Florian's ring Go back to Littlehead at the feast and tell him you have the ring. Your new task is to hand it to the young woman to Florian's right. She's the one wearing red at the end of the table with Otto von Bergow. Talk with her, and Henry will mention he's there with a gift. You have three dialogue options for your reply: Hermann Littlehead. A shy friend. It's from me. If you pick the first or third option, the jig will be up and Florian challenges you to a duel. You can accept the duel if you wish. But if your Persuasion skill is high enough, you can convince Florian to cancel the duel. To complete the objective, pick 'A shy friend'. Florian's lady will accuse him of cheating and storm off, leaving many folks confused and uncomfortable. You take a small Reputation hit, but it was all worth it. Return to Knight Littlehead, who thanks you for being a good sport. You're rewarded with: Reputation gain Weak Saviour Schnapps The Strength of a Knight III (Skill Book) The prank is a nice distraction from the boorish party, but getting the Skill Book should be worth it in the end. Skill Books are hard to find and often pricey, so it's a great reward. The post How to find Florian’s ring and finish the prank in Kingdom Come 2 appeared first on Destructoid.

If you've played Kingdom Come long enough, it's pretty evident that Henry is a hit with the ladies. But that's not always the case. You can romance the smooth-voiced ****** Bartosch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and here's how. You can romance ****** Bartosch during the story mission, For Victory! He's one of two romance options at the feast that takes place later in the mission. Once you're finished speaking with Hans Capon and maybe playing a bit of a prank on a nobleman at the party, you can meet Bartosch to cap off the night. Meet with ****** Bartosch at the training grounds Before the feast, you should go and meet with ****** Bartosch down by the soldiers' training grounds. If you relayed your concerns with Sir Otto von Bergow after the story mission Back in the Saddle, he would have asked Henry to meet with Bartosch for a reward at the start of the following mission, For Victory! You can find Bartosch in the southwestern section of Trosky Castle near the training arena. Normally, Bartosch is available as a trainer after completing the story mission For Whom the Bell Tolls. However, your dialogue options are limited to asking him for training or to play a game of dice. Around the time you reach For Victory, the options should be expanded. Speak with him and check to see if you can ask about why he's at Trosky. You may need to finish all the dialogue options ahead of the feast for the romance to work. After you're done talking with him, complete whatever tasks you have remaining before the feast, or wait until evening. Screenshot by Destructoid How to romance ****** Bartosch - Meet again during the feast After the feast begins, look for ****** Bartosch standing guard near the window behind Otto von Bergow's table. Screenshot by Destructoid He looks bored watching over the party, so head on over and strike up a conversation. You're given multiple dialogue options that mostly consist of small talk. To romance ****** Bartosch, pick the option: "What about the local girls?" Bartosch makes an excuse and says he'd rather have a drink with Henry instead. Henry gets the subtext. Reply to Bartosch with "I reckon I know what you're getting at." The reply works if your Impression skill is high enough. Screenshot by Destructoid Bartosch invites Henry to his chambers for a "nightcap," but the latter doesn't agree right away. Pick the option "Alright, but maybe later?" Henry will return to the party, giving you a chance to wrap up any other optional tasks. Once you're ready for that nightcap, return to ****** Bartosh and pick the dialogue choice: "Shall we spend the rest of the evening alone?" Doing so ends the night, so be sure you've finished everything you want to do at the feast. Screenshot by Destructoid As mentioned, ****** Bartosch isn't the only character you can romance in Kingdom Come 2. Be sure to check out our guides on how to romance Klara and Doubravka.

More than six years on from Obsidian's last Pillars of Eternity game, Avowed has finally landed, transporting us back to Eora with your choice of a third-person or first-person perspective. Some revere it as another brilliant Obsidian RPG with scintillating combat and exploration, while others are more critical of its main storyline and forgettable companions. No matter where on that scale you sit, it certainly hasn't been the total flop that many doomsayers predicted it would be. In fact, Obsidian is rather happy with its post-launch reception, and in a new interview, the game's top dev says that the studio would "love to do more with it," which could pave the way for some Avowed DLC - and maybe even a sequel.

Avowed doesn’t allow items to be equipped to the game’s companions, but this actually proves to be a huge benefit to gameplay. At first glance, it might be somewhat frustrating that companions can’t take any of the game’s good loot. This is especially true if players aren’t using those weapons or armor for themselves, and it feels like the items are going to waste sitting in their inventory. However, the further into Avowed one gets, the more they will likely appreciate not having to manage their allies’ equipment. View the full article

The LEC 2025 Winter Split Playoff stage is underway, and the first few weeks of Fearless Draft have shown just how fun this format can be. With unpredictable drafts, deeper champion pools, and dynamic strategies on display, fans are simply entertained—but they’re not the only ones. Fearless Draft is a unique drafting format in competitive League of Legends that prevents teams from selecting the same champions in consecutive games in the same match. This forces players and coaches to continuously adapt their strategies, showcasing greater flexibility and deeper champion pools. In the EMEA region, Fearless Draft was introduced this year and just for Winter Split’s Playoffs. However, players and coaches argue that its short-lived presence has not allowed it to reach its full potential in shaping the competition for both teams and fans. View the full article
