We’ve all heard it, the low growl of something just outside of your vision. It’s terrifying, and the only thing scarier than the unknown is, I guess, the known – if it happens to be a 20 metre long hulking leviathan that could tear you and your ship to shreds in seconds. Subnautica 2 is home to a few of these, and it’s worth knowing about them so you can avoid certain death. Crafting a Tadpole and finding blueprints to upgrade your equipment are excellent ways to stay alive in Subnautica 2, but they won’t always save you. With no…
Scottish comic Brian “Limmy” Limond has seen himself referenced in Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, and it’s incredibly wholesome.We can see the full scene unfold thanks to an upload on Limmy’s YouTube channel, which clips the moment he sees himself referenced in the game for the first time — please note that there are minor spoilers for the game in the video.The reference takes place during the final encounter of the game, with Lego Batman fighting a foe that we shan’t name. During the encounter, some of WayneTech’s own weaponry is used against Batman and his allies. As…
The Stud Multiplier in Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight is a recurring gameplay feature from previous Lego games, where players could multiply the studs they collect by playing the game well. In fact, certain cheats could allow for a x10 stud multiplier, though I’m sorry to say that nothing in Lego Batman Legacy will let you get quite that high. I’ll explain how the stud multiplier system works below, and the maximum boost that you can get.How to get max stud multiplier in Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight (Image credit: Warner Bros.)When you collect studs in…
Valve have moved to dismiss a New York attorney general lawsuit accusing them of facilitating illegal gambling by way of lootboxes on Steam, after first seeking to try it in the court of public opinion. In a memo filed this week, the company offered a largely familiar defence against the New York AG lawsuit, hinging on the idea that randomised lootbox rewards can’t be defined as gambling under state law, because they are bought with virtual currency (which can be used for other purposes) and have no ‘real’ value as cash or property. They also position the lawsuit as an…
Arc Raiders is busting some myths surrounding its aggression-based matchmaking. Embark put out quite a lengthy post on May 10 explaining how its PvP/PvE lobbies work, why they exist, and most importantly, why it thinks unpredictability is essential to the multiplayer game experience. The idea of players belonging to one specific lobby has always been a bit of a fallacy, and it led to many, myself included, playing Arc Raiders in an unnatural way to try to game the system. Avoiding conflict, being unnecessarily hostile, all in the hopes of being paired with like-minded players. With Embark’s new blog post,…

Ahead of a chat with Civilization 7 creative director Ed Beach, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the veteran designer played a hand in making one of my all-time favorite strategy games. That would be The Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth 2 – specifically its Rise of the Witch King expansion – for which Beach was executive producer.With dual campaigns that let you save Middle-earth or sack it, along with some devilishly replayable skirmish maps, the 2006 real-time strategy title can be credited with introducing a bunch of console-heads to the traditionally PC-centric world of RTS games.…
While in the midst of not great financial times at the moment, Ubisoft have revealed plans to have new Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Ghost Recon games out at some point between now and early 2029. Boss Yves Guillemot is touting this to investors as signifying an incoming turnaround following “one of the most ambitious transformations in the company’s history”, which is corpospeak for taking a bunch of money from Tencent to rearrange some corporate chairs, delaying or cancelling a bunch of games, and laying off staff.

The Boys season 5 has brought the long-running Prime Video show to a final end – and the response has remained pretty mixed on how it all went down. The finale saw Homelander and Billy Butcher fight it out in the White House as Antony Starr’s Supe was finally killed.However, while the moment was a hit with some people, other fans had been expecting more, especially given the tease of “scorched earth” between the two heavyweights. Showrunner Eric Kripke has reacted to this in a new interview, explaining why he didn’t go “post-apocalyptic” with the series in its final episodes.”For…
