The first raid boss in Ghost Recon Breakpoint is Baal – a big tank that can instantly kill you if you’re not careful. Not only that, but constant reinforcements will descend upon your team to try and wipe you out. It can be a difficult boss battle if you don’t know what to do, but our Baal raid boss guide will give you the tips and tricks you need to defeat it.
Have you ever looked at your computer table with its keyboard, mouse, monitor, gamepad, and mousemat and thought “These are some nice lumps of gaming plastic, but what if I had dozens more and they were tiny?” For you, reader dear, our corporate family at Gamer Network today formally launched Dicebreaker, a new site and YouTube channel dedicated to covering tables in slabs of cardboard, sheets of paper, dice, counters, and wee plastic people. Apparently they use these to play board games, RPGs, card games, and that? It’s like they’ve never heard of Tabletop Simulator.
You can be killed by many things in run ‘n’ stab roguelike Dead Cells. There are pirate captains, football-sized assassins and horrible worms. There are robots that summon corpse flies, and skeletons in hats that turn into knife tornadoes. If you spend $5 on Dead Cells’ first whack of paid DLC this January, you can also be chucked at spiky walls by mushroom men.
They’re part of the Bad Seeds DLC, which adds another route through the game filled with plants and pricks with blow pipes. I’m lucky enough to have already spent an afternoon being chucked at spiky walls, as well as the chance to ask new split-off studio Evil Empire why they’re charging for the privilege.
Oh lawd, I thought the deals were finally over, but those sneaky folks at Samsung have just gone and started another better-than-Black-Friday deal on their external Samsung T5 SSD. From now until December 25th in the UK, you can claim 90 cashback on the 2TB model of the T5, taking its usual price of 270 down to just 180 – which is a heck of a lot more tempting than its Black Friday deal price of 245. There’s also 40 cashback to be had on the 1TB model as well, taking this normally 145 SSD down to another Black-Friday-beating price of 105.
It is a sad day for pretend archaeology. Firewatch developers Campo Santo have placed In The Valley Of Gods on hold, instead choosing to work on Half-Life: Alyx, Dota Underlords, and other Valve projects. This follows their move to Valve last year, which John (RPS in peace) quizzed them on at length in 2018. That means we’ve got a weird, melancholy portal into when Campo were excited about what the move would mean for their new game.
Half-Life with a sprinkling of Firewatch sounds neat and all, but I was looking forward to filming pyramids.
I guess Action 52 is a PC game, in the same way that a furious drunk forcing a hand through your letterbox at 3am is a house guest. I mean, it was a game, of sorts, and I certainly played> it on a PC, so that ll do, right? Usually with these pieces, I ll open up a couple of tabs in my browser and do some cursory research to make sure my memories of a game haven t strayed too far from the truth, but in this case I m not going to. I have so little respect for Action 52, I will simply scrape the contents of my mind onto the screen, like an inedible takeaway curry being slid into a bin.
Hades, the roguelike game about running away from your home in Hell, has released a new update today. This one is called “Welcome To Hell” and despite the name, adds ways to make the typically frustrating genre harder or> easier.
The fifth and final episode of Life Is Strange 2 is out today. The choice-based narrative game has revolved around brothers Sean and Daniel as they run from their home in Seattle after a tragic run-in with police. Over the course of the season they’ve slowly made their way south attempting to flee to Mexico.
Halo’s Master Chief Collection starts today with the release of Halo: Reach, the prequel to the rest of the sci-fi space marine stories and the first of the revamped bunch to spawn on PC. Five other Halo games will follow, ending with Halo 4 by the end of 2020.
Today is day four of the RPS Advent Calendar but to be honest, you should probably keep that door shut. No seriously, you don’t want to open a chink in our defences.
