Of all the core mechanics in Dungeons & Dragons, getting a long rest is probably the least exciting, which makes sense, but Baldur's Gate 3 managed to make a key improvement. As its name suggests, a long rest requires the party to spend at least eight hours in a restful state in order to recover their hit points, spell slots, and other class resources. Compared to fighting hordes of devils or solving puzzles in a crypt, this part of the game is rather dull. View the full article

Vitality won a long and entertaining battle against the reigning Major champions to secure their in-game leader’s first big title in the Cathedral of Counter-Strike. It was a fantastic match featuring great strats and raw aim in equal measure, with ZywOo’s AWPing prowess proving the difference in a close-fought series.

It was the first time the prestigious tournament was played on CS2, and a lot has changed the last time around—a year ago, s1mple was still on NAVI’s active roster, and zonic was still coaching Vitality—but the level of excellence on display was once again worthy of the spectacle in the Cathedral of CS.

The trailer compares the game’s looks when certain features, like DLSS, are turned on versus off. There may not be any major revelations in terms of story or gameplay here, but it could give you an idea of whether you want to upgrade anything for the game or not. On the hardware side, Outlaws seems fairly forgiving of PCs still using components like the GeForce GTX 1660 GPU or Intel Core i7-8700K CPU. Eurogamer notes that you’ll need DLSS or FSR to run the game at minimum specs. From Ubisoft’s page: Minimum • Visual... Continue reading… View the full article

Starfield's main story can take potentially dozens of hours for a new player to complete. Despite this, Bethesda has suggested that the game does not really start until the main quest is finished.

While some farming games never manage to carve out enough of their own identity to be particularly worthwhile, every so often one brings a uniquely strong experience to the table.
