The Outer Worlds 2 is upon us, improving substantially on the foundations laid by its predecessor, and coming close to Obsidian's peak achievement, Fallout: New Vegas. But, being an Obsidian game, and a first-person one at that, players are probably going to want to use a lot of mods and console commands. However, the console does not come enabled by default in this game, so here's how you can start using any command that you might need to enhance your experience. The Outer Worlds 2 console commands and cheats guide Sometimes, things can get too heated or tedious, prompting you to look for cheats. Screenshot by Destructoid To use commands and cheats in The Outer Worlds 2, you'll first have to enable the console itself, which requires an external mod. Thankfully, the mod is quite easy to set up, so here's everything you'll need to do: Go to the Console Enabler and BP ModLoader Nexus page.From the files, download SML and Console Enabler zip. Then, go to your The Outer Worlds 2 installation folder and navigate to Arkansas/Content/Paks. Create a folder called "~mods" in the Paks directory. Place all the files from the zip you've downloaded into the ~mods folder. Launch the game and press the tilde "~" key to open the console. And that's it, you've now enabled the developer console in The Outer Worlds 2. To use console commands, simply navigate to the ~mods folder you've created and find the "Cheats" directory, which contains several text files that outline every console command that you can use. Keep in mind this console is a lot more technical than what you might be used to, so make sure to refer to the mod's "How to read cheats" text file to equip yourself for understanding these commands.

RV There Yet has its fair share of wildlife spread across the map, and they can be pretty dangerous for your in-game journey. Encountering the wildlife in RV There Yet is not guaranteed, but if you want to know how to avoid the dangers, this guide will help you out with everything you need to know about these foes. Table of contentsHow to survive all animal attacks in RV There YetBearsSnakesEaglesHow to survive all animal attacks in RV There Yet RV There Yet might not survive a forest simulator by any means, but there are three different species you have to be careful about. Bears Bears are usually found close to areas with resources. I have encountered them near houses, but you should be careful around any location that has plenty of goodies. They are arguably the most dangerous of all wildlife forms. You can use your hammer to hit it a few times to scare it off. However, missing your swing and getting hit instead can cause an accidental death.You can use Bear Spray, which is found at random locations to scare them off.You can escape using a bridge, as a bear will never cross those. Screenshot by Destructoid Snakes Snakes are found at random locations, especially near water bodies. In RV There Yet, all snake bites are poisonous by default. To heal yourself or your friend, you'll need to using an Antidote is the only option (or die and then get revived using an EpiPen). They can be found randomly, and they will cure the poisoned status of anyone. You can't kill a snake, so it's best to avoid them as much as possible. Screenshot by Destructoid Eagles Eagles are rarer sights in RV There Yet, and they're exclusively found in the forest. They will usually keep their distance, but can swoop in to attack you. If you're alone, catch a winch attached to your RV. This will prevent the eagle from picking you up.If you have a friend, ask them to catch you if the eagle latches on to you (or do the opposite if they catch your friend).You can also run to your RV and get inside preemptively to stop getting attacked. That's a summary of all the animals in the game and how you can avoid the dangers they pose. Like our content?

Misery, a game produced by a single developer, is rocking strong STALKER and PS1 vibes. Having come out just a couple days ago, the game has already garnered quite an audience. And no wonder, considering its oppressive atmosphere, and, you've guessed it, proximity voice chat. Misery is basically a co-op STALKER, placing players in "The Zone," and tasking them with looting the post-nuclear wasteland for resources and valuables, all the while encountering strange apparitions, anomalies, and, of course, irradiated monstrosities. It can be played by up to five players on the same server, so you and your friends can finally see what it'd be like to relive Andrei Tarkovsky's movies, though without all the arthouse pretentiousness. The Soviet vibes are off the charts. And so is the Geiger Counter. Image via Platypus Entertainment Trudging through the grim darkness of the Eastern Bloc isn't solely a terrifying experience, as Misery lets you take the moment in and try to enjoy your plight. After all, you've got your friends around you, so why not light up a campfire in the middle of Geiger's nightmare and play a soft tune on your acoustic guitar. That's an actual thing you can do, by the way, so make sure you play Soldat by 5'Nizza. And as we've come to expect of these types of co-op horror games, Misery is kicking off on Steam, reaching around 10,000 concurrent players on the platform mere days after releasing. It is, as I've said, made by a single developer, who certainly possesses all the talent in the world as I have seldom seen such creative use of retro graphics. Yes, horror games recently have been spearheading that return to classic form, but Misery doesn't just paint over its textures in a retro style, but fundamentally exploits the "flaws" of old graphics that lend themselves perfectly to the atmosphere Misery has. It's a great game, and another proof that indies have us covered in every genre, and especially horror. Like our content?

For more than two decades, the Halo series has stood as a defining property for Microsoft's gaming business – its green-armored protagonist synonymous with the Xbox brand.

There are two sides to every game delay coin. On the one hand, it's a shame when you're looking forward to a thing only to have to wait even longer for said thing. On the other, there's too many damn video games these days and, oh, gods, don't we all just have a laundry list of things to attend to right now? So make of it what you will that Nivalis, the cyberpunk restaurant sim set in the world of Cloudpunk, has been delayed. Read more View the full article
One of the main themes of The Outer Worlds 2 revolves around depicting a dystopian future where capitalism runs rampant. This was carried over from the first game, but expanded upon and fleshed out with deeper RPG mechanics and more variety in choices that pushed it above the first game in our review. One interesting feature that both games share is the option to include flaws, which inflict permanent negatives and slight positives on a character. View the full article
We've heard tell of AI-generated games for years now, and even saw generative artificial intelligence implemented in hundreds of titles big and small, but seldom has anyone shown us a full-blown AI-made gaming experience—and probably for a very good reason. Matt Shumer, an executive at several AI-oriented companies, has showcased an AI-generated game in a rare example of actual gaming experience of this kind. While still early and merely a showcase, Shumer believes this is the first step towards greatness, exclaiming triumphantly that "AI games are going to be amazing." And that would be true if he didn't share an absolute pile of steaming garbage, which makes no sense, is a little less than the most trippy, demonic, cursed AI video you saw on Facebook. It's supposed to be some kind of first-person shooter which wildly switches perspectives to third person, set in what appears to be New York or some other techy American city that also, like the perspective, is dramatically shifted this way and that as the "game" plays out. [Hidden Content] It's as if you've been given control of someone on the strongest drugs imaginable and watched how the world transforms before them, kind of like Inception. And though Inception gives us a cool outlook on unpredictable dreamscapes and the other side of our feeble minds, this AI "game" merely illustrates that the technology hasn't gotten too far in recent years, and that Elon Musk's ambitions of fully-generated gaming experiences are farther than the stars. The replies to this showcase also share the sentiments I have presented here, ranging from people making fun of Shumer and his attempt to justify AI investments to calling the video "abysmal dogs**t." Yeah, it's not really a positive environment there, and no wonder. I've made my case against gen AI countless times on Destructoid and continue to abide by it, not necessarily because AI is soulless artificiality, but because it just isn't good at certain things. Sure, it could help us speed up some processes and make them less tedious, but it is the human touch that is necessary to produce substantive art that actually has a soul, among other things.

Following other Xbox-exclusive properties, the crown jewel of the platform, the one that drove it to success, is now heading to the PlayStation. Halo: Campaign Evolved, a remake of the first game, will launch on Sony's platform sometime in 2026. We got a first look at this evolved Combat Evolved version on Oct. 24, which showcased the game's stunning visuals, physics, lighting, and graphics. The trailer was both cinematic and gameplay-oriented, showing us what the game looks like in action as much as its cutscenes. And I have to say it's blown me away (pun intended), as Microsoft seems to have put in maximum effort to make this game look as good as humanly possible. With its coming to the PlayStation 5, I assume it'll not require a nuclear-powered PC to run, but modern games have a knack for ruining launches through poor performance, so I'll hold my breath until I see it. [Hidden Content] On the other hand, Halo: Campaign Evolved isn't just a makeover; it's a significant modernization and improvement effort to bring the original title up to snuff. It'll introduce new weapons and missions, some of the former coming from games that were released after the original Halo so many years ago. On top of that, the game is set to feature two-player local (couch) co-op, allowing you and your buddies to relive the golden age from the comfort of your own room, albeit now accompanied by lower back pain. Co-op can be extended to up to four players online, which can bridge the gap between your old friend group that has drifted apart after two decades. All in all, it's a great time to be a Halo fan, especially one who has switched to PlayStation due to the Xbox's lack of first-party games. This also marks yet another Xbox-exclusive franchise that has made the switch to PlayStation, leaving Xbox with basically no series that is solely going to be available on its own consoles. Multi-platform launches are now officially Microsoft's key strategy, with exclusivity sacrificed in favor of availability, a concept I wholeheartedly support. As stated above, Halo: Campaign Evolved comes out on current-gen consoles, including the PS5, and PC, in 2026, and is, if Sony's official page is to be believed, just the first of many ports.

ARC Raiders has long been one of my most anticipated games, but I'm also conflicted about it. The two opportunities I've had to playthe game before launch, Tech Test 2 and its recent Server Slam, have proven it to be incredibly immersive and genuinely unique. The extraction shooter has an astounding atmosphere, and its marriage of stealth and survival mechanics works well to create constant tension. Listening to any of the game's voice lines, however, makes it clear that ARC Raiders may have an AI problem – and it doesn't stop there. View the full article
