Outlast never really seemed like it would be able to make a smooth transition into becoming a multiplayer game. The first two horror games, sharing DNA with Alien: Isolation and Amnesia: The Dark Descent, are frightening in large part because they make players feel utterly alone in an unfathomably terrifying situation. Still, the move away from solo design represented by The Outlast Trials has gone over very well, creator Red Barrels' latest garnering praise and attracting players through the success of its ***** by Daylight reminiscent premise and, as today's news continues, a steady cadence of updates.

The latest Helldivers 2 Ship Module adds another buff to what's already one of its most powerful Stratagems. Together, Ship Modules and Stratagems make up the build customization options in Helldivers 2. Stratagems refer to any number of special abilities players can call in during a mission. They range from powerful weapons to defensive fortifications to orbital strikes, and can turn the tide of battle in a wide variety of ways. However, Stratagems usually have lengthy cooldowns, and some of them only have a limited number of uses. It's important to know when and where to call them in. View the full article

I have a rule: no more than one post about a horror game per day. The mind can only withstand so much, after all. But POOLS isn't really a horror game. It's just a walking simulator in which you explore a bunch of underground swimming pools. True, their size and layout defy explanation - what is this, a swimming pool for Slender Men? - but look, there are cute covered slides you can ride down in first-person. You know, like the ones you used to enjoy as a ****. Always that element of anxiety though about getting stuck halfway down, am I right? Read more View the full article

It's no secret that the MOBA ecosystem is dominated by two games: League of Legends, and Dota 2. It's one of the hardest nuts to ******, with games like Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm and Epic Games' Paragon failing to challenge Riot and Valve's respective behemoths. Omeda Studios, however, is hoping to make its mark by breathing new life into Epic's aforementioned MOBA with Predecessor, Paragon's spiritual successor. While certain elements may feel familiar, however, Omeda CEO Robbie Singh tells me that Predecessor learns from its forefather, and innovates in a way that makes it a worthy competitor to LoL and Dota.

Well, hello there, Ghoul. | Image: Bethesda Softworks The new Amazon adaptation of Fallout is excellent, nailing the goofy yet grim vibe of the series, all while telling a new story. It’s so good, in fact, that after the eight episodes were over, I was left with a strong urge to head back into the wasteland. But where to start? An open-world RPG like Fallout 4 felt like too much of a commitment (even with a next-gen update on the way), so I turned to something simpler: the mobile strategy game Fallout Shelter. And now I can’t seem to stop. Now, to be clear, Fallout Shelter isn’t a new game. It launched in 2015, and while it started as a mobile release, it’s been subsequently ported to PC and consoles. It’s a bit like a city-builder, just one that takes place mostly underground. You’re the... Continue reading… View the full article

Between Stalker, The Forest, Rust, and Valheim, the overwhelming majority of modern, open-world survival games have a committed, at least semi-grounded aesthetic. For Stalker 2 dev GSC, it's the quasi nuclear, reality distorting strangeness of Tarkovsky's 1979 film. The Forest and Rust share a rugged, earth-and-stone pragmatism, while Valheim plays on Norse magical realism. There's consistency. There are boundaries. Now the 14th most-wishlisted game on all of Steam, above Homeworld 3, Silent Hill 2, and even Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, a new open-world survival sandbox throws much of that caution to the wind. Inspired by the New Weird of SCP and Remedy's Control, it's a sprawling, cut-loose stage for whatever players want to do, and PCGamesN has an exclusive look and insight from its creators.

Being a chainsaw-wielding ******* in ***** by Daylight might sound like fun but for the longest time The Hillbilly had the short end of the stick. He'd have to aim his chainsaw incredibly carefully, manage heat levels at all times, and even when everything seemed right he'd bounce off a stray bit of terrain, interrupting his charge.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a wacky puzzle of a game, full of secrets and interactions that were still surprising players weeks after launch. And while it seems like most of its major twists have already been uncovered, one player claims they've found an obscure Dragon's Dogma 2 secret that's taking them to previously unexplored parts of the game's map. Warning: Massive Dragon's Dogma 2 ending spoilers follow. Do not scroll down if you do not want to know about the entire premise of the game's final hours. Seriously, we're just going to spoil the ***** out of it! LAST CHANCE! BIG SPOILERS STARTING....now. In the final hours of Dragon's Dogma 2's "true" ending, players are transported to a bizarre place known as the "Unmoored World." There, an advancing red fog representative of the murderous Brine slowly creeps across the land, consuming more and more of the map until either the player stops it or the game ends. Players already have some wild theories about what's going on with the Unmoored World, the characters in it, and what's really happening here. But it all got weirder a few days ago, when someone seemingly managed to walk into the red fog and explore what ***** beyond, unscathed. Reddit user Temporary-Class3803 claims in a post to the Dragon's Dogma 2 subreddit that they've found a way to safely traverse the red fog. Per their post, they were initially just exploring theories on how to reverse the fog's encroachment, something that is currently thought impossible. But while they were experimenting, they found an area where Capcom seemingly forgot to code in the "Brine consumes you now" functionality, allowing them to just walk into the giant fog sea and wander around. Here are Temporary-Class3803's instructions on how to find the precise spot: To get into the red mist in that location, start at Seafloor Shrine. You'll need a staff to use the levitate skill from mage/sorcerer. At Seafloor, begin by looking East of the portcrystal and jumping up the side wall in between the vendor area and the vocation guild. Once you get to the top, you'll float over to the far wall and take an immediate right, stopping at the tower. Once at the tower, hop off of the wall to the land below, and take another immediate right, follow the edges of the cloud southward and eventually you'll get to a point where the Brine doesn't try to eat you. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like you can actually do much in the big cloud of fog. The Unmoored World is effectively a mirror of the real one in most ways, with the red fog starting where the ocean used to be and slowly eating up the map. As a result, most of what's inside the fog cloud just seems to be...nothing. They report trying to walk to Melve and being unable to do so without Brine eventually consuming them. Still, even if all this just seems to be an unintended goof, Temporary-Class3803 is continuing their exploration in hopes of finding more secrets in the Unmoored World. They're digging into lore, examining the many strange, caved in archways around the continent and pouring over notes and lines left by the Harve Village hermit, looking for unfound secrets. Even if it's unlikely their search turns up any fruit at this stage, the hunt itself has other Redditors curious about secrets, lore, and the potential for either cut content or future DLC content. The primary running theory at the moment (which Temporary-Class3803 is trying to dig into) is that there might be something to do in the Unmoored World with a number of mysterious, caved-in archways dotted around the map. It's been pointed out that at least a few of these archways are only accessible in the Unmoored World, but so far, no one's been able to figure out what they're for. Could they be entrances to a secret dungeon? Possible DLC content? Triggers for another ending? Even if Temporary-Class3803's exploration into the red fog itself is unrelated, their stumbling into it triggered a number of individuals to give the archways a second look. If there's a secret to be found there, the community is on the case. There has already been plenty to find in Dragon's Dogma 2, arches or otherwise. Players are still working out exactly how the mysterious, village-murdering ******** Dragonsplague works, and it took weeks for the internet to realize that catapults could be used to uncover secret areas. More recently, players figured out that Capcom has a built-in system for making sure everyone's Pawn gets hired sometimes. And others are making incredible mods to customize Dragon's Dogma 2, such as creating Dragonsplague warnings, silencing chatty Pawns, and obtaining unlimited teleportation. View the full article
