You've got Civilization 7, Stellaris, Age of Empires 2, and Manor Lords - in one sense, the 4X and strategy game world is livelier than ever. But some of those names may also feel a little familiar by now. If you've put hours into Firaxis' tentpole series and exhausted some of Paradox's other mainstays, Age of Wonders 4 is the ideal, less-exposed alternative. The ratings are big (we gave it 9/10) and the gameplay is a mix of traditional expansion, extermination, exploration, and exploitation with smaller-scale tactical combat. If you've never given AoW 4 a shot, now is definitely the time. Archon Prophecy, the new Age of Wonders 4 DLC, has a release date, and brings dozens of new features to one of strategy genre's greatest sleeper hits. Read the rest of the story...

Razer has unveiled its first barebones gaming keyboard, giving enthusiasts complete control over keycap and switch selection. Better yet, you can grab yourself the Blackwidow V4 75% for just $139.99 if you're willing to do the assembly yourself, saving you $60 on the original list price. The Razer Blackwidow V4 75% remains on our best gaming keyboard list thanks to its brilliant performance, easy key-switch design, and sound dampening. The only sore point for us was the keyboard's original price, particularly because you were almost encouraged to swap out the switches for some of your own, and the keyboard's customizability was such a highlight. Fortunately, Razer is now offering enthusiasts the option of stripping out the keycaps altogether for a barebones model. Read the rest of the story...

You can pursue nearly any job in BitLife if you possess the necessary qualifications and drive. Firefighting is one of many options you have, and although there are no cool minigames for dousing fires, it's still satisfying to know you're helping others in between age-ups. Table of contentsHow to become a Firefighter in BitLifeWhat does a Firefighter do in BitLife?How to become a Firefighter in BitLife Becoming a Firefighter in BitLife requires graduating from secondary school and aging up until your character turns 18. From here, you'll unlock full-time jobs, where there's a chance you'll find a Probationary Firefighter position available. The downside? The job list is mostly random. Although getting a degree or working other jobs filters the results slightly, someone fresh out of high school will have a completely random list. A firefighter position may not be available initially, requiring you to close and reopen the BitLife app or age up and recheck the list. Screenshot by Destructoid Several factors can also impact your chances of becoming a firefighter. If your character has a criminal record, they won't be able to apply for the job unless they emigrate to another country. If your only goal is to become a firefighter, don't commit any crimes within BitLife until after you secure the job. Your character can also fail the follow-up interview they receive after applying. Although this is mostly luck-based, your safest bet is to go for professional answers and hope the interviewer is satisfied with your response. Otherwise, you'll have to search for another position and repeat the process until your character officially becomes a firefighter. What does a Firefighter do in BitLife? Like most jobs in BitLife, the firefighter position lacks unique features or minigames. It's mainly a means to generate an annual salary for your character, letting you purchase houses, cars, and various services to make your character's life more interesting. That is unless you're trying to complete BitLife's weekly challenges. Each week, new challenges appear with various objectives, with ones like the Anti-Hero, Master of the Elements, and Macho Man asking you to create characters who become firefighters. When they first release, they're only available for five days before being locked behind a Challenge Vault that requires a one-time purchase to unlock. Alternatively, you can become a firefighter to earn a lot of money. Although probationary firefighters don't tend to make much at first, you can receive promotions to Lieutenant, Battalion Chief, or Fire Chief to turn this into a high-paying career. While it isn't the highest-paying job BitLife offers, your character can still be very comfortable after a few years of hard work.

REMATCH has a seamless matchmaking experience between casual and ranked play, but you can also juke it out with your buddies. As long as your friends are on the same platform (let's say both of you play on PC), it's pretty easy to play together. You and your buddy must be in the same lobby before starting a match. You can make a full team of five with your friends or add strangers to your team. Let's look at how you can invite your friends and play together. Table of contentsHow to add friends in REMATCHHow to invite friends to the same lobby in REMATCHHow to add friends in REMATCH The first task is to add your friend to the game before you can play together. You'll notice that there's a Social tab at the top right of your screen (as shown in the screenshot below). This tab will show all your friends who can join your session and play together. You can add your friends to the game who are already friends on the platform you're on. Simply put, add them as friends on your console (using either the PS app or the Xbox app), and they will appear on the Social tab. Similarly, PC users must add one another to their Steam accounts before playing together. Screenshot by Destructoid You might have guessed it, but this function is only available for players on the same platform. Whether the limitation gets upgraded in the future is a matter of speculation at this point. Hopefully, Sloclap will introduce a way to add friends manually. You can also add random players as your friends. From the Social tab, select the recent section. It will show a list of players you have played with and against. You can send a friend request to any or all of them directly inside the game. Once they have accepted, they will show up on the Social tab. How to invite friends to the same lobby in REMATCH Once added, you can invite each other as long as both are online. All your online friends will show up separately in the Social tab (just like in the screenshot). Next, start a match and select the mode you want to play. Do note that if you're jumping in to play Ranked, you must have access to the mode. The post How to play with friends in REMATCH appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article
