When I finished my first playthrough of Atomfall for review last year, I felt like Rebellion’s pasty-littered survival game was just starting to properly get its hooks into me. I’ve dug plenty of short games over the years – Return of the Obra Dinn and The Red Strings Club are a couple of examples – but with that brevity comes the challenge of delivering on the promise of your premise in a briefer window than longer games are afforded. The base version of Atomfall instead reached its destination just as it was truly getting into its stride. The fact that…
What are the LoL ranks? Sure, you can kill time playing normals or ARAMs in Riot’s MOBA, but there’s only one real way to challenge yourself: ranked. Unlocked at player level 30, ranked matches pit you against Summoners of a similar skill level, with each match being a true test of your prowess. Every player is assigned a specific rank, with wins seeing you gain LP and rise through the ranks. The ranked system itself, however, has its complexities. There are various tiers within the MOBA game, each featuring unique subdivisions; there’s the LP system and then MMR, which you…
There’s a new hero in Overwatch, Sierra, and naturally, players are diving right in to figure her out. First impressions are coming in across the community, and the general vibe is she packs a punch with her ult, but otherwise doesn’t feel all that satisfying to play – at least, not yet.Starting with her ultimate attack, it involves a missile-firing drone. It does 180 damage, the radius per bomb is up to three meters, and there are 23 bombs fired in total. This, paired with the cost of 1800 points, makes for a lethal concoction that people have immediately noticed.”In…
Liquid Swords continue to chip away at the biggest issues Samson, their bitesize tale of a small-time crim pulling jobs to gradually remove the debt albatross from his neck, has faced since it launched the other week in a state the ranged from harmlessly quirky to frustratingly broken. The second of these patches picks up the first’s problem-eliminating baton, but also sees the devs start to make some more in-depth tweaks to mechanics that work fine, but leave a bit to be desired.
The Ashes of Creation lawsuit continues to rumble on at pace, and former Intrepid Studios founder and game director Steven Sharif has delivered a fresh statement alleging a “deliberate misinformation and defamation campaign” against him. Astonishingly, it’s been only two months since the dramatic implosion of the MMORPG and its studio, and a deep legal battle between Sharif and a group of investors led by Robert Dawson is ongoing. In his latest message, Sharif brings up a reported $250 million offer from League of Legends maker Riot Games, which he claims he was advised against accepting. The new 3,700-word statement…
Following the release of information that reportedly revealed how much money GTA Online is making, Take-Two’s stock price enjoyed one of its strongest days so far this year.Earlier this week, the hacker group ShinyHunters threatened the GTA maker, saying it would release confidential data about the series if its demands weren’t met.Following the threat, Rockstar confirmed that the breach was legitimate, but claimed it would have no material impact on the studio or the development of GTA 6.Now the group has released the information online, reportedly focusing largely on how much money GTA Online is currently making across the five platforms…

Yesterday, hacker group ShinyHunters made good on their threat to release data stolen from Grand Theft Auto VI developers Rockstar Games by way of a third-party service. Rockstar don’t seem bothered by the leak, with one representative calling it “a limited amount of non-material company information”, and the alleged secret titbits now in circulation certainly aren’t on the same scale as the infamous 2022 leak of WIP footage from GTA 6. Still, there are some interesting gobbets in there. One is that Rockstar’s cashcow GTA Online makes a lot less money from microtransactions on PC, despite its steady following on…
How do you get a shovel in Windrose? The shovel is one of the best early game items for clearing points of interest and earning experience points, as well as digging for buried treasure found marked from looted curios. You may not have unlocked the shovel in Windrose yet if you haven’t interacted with copper ore, so if you’re finding random digging spots or hidden treasure, you’ll need to complete the tutorial task of smelting copper ore into ingots first. You’ll also need the shovel to dig up a buried chest in the early Fifteen Men on a Dead Man’s…
