turn-based fights are a turning point for the bat-swinging, crime caper that is the Yakuza series. I thought the game still retained its messy brawls even after the added tactical punch, but according to the latest patch, the game has been missing a key battle feature this whole time: “WEAK”.
It’s time to head back to 1862, and date some people who may well be murderers. Failbetter Games have announced Mask Of The Rose, a romantic visual novel set in the Fallen London universe. It’s a prequel to all of Failbetter’s games, including Fallen London itself, as well as Sunless Sea and Sunless Skies, and follows a group of lodgers in a boarding house just months after Victorian London has gone underground. Ah, trapped in a creepy underground building together, what better place for love to blossom, eh?
A few months ago, Apex Legends cruelly took away the train, the best bit of its World’s Edge map, leaving us with nothing but boring stationary ground to fight on. Man, the train was amazing. Oh how I loved the rush of dropping onto that speedy death tube, wading through the gas of six Caustics in an attempt to find loot. It’s a buzz we’ll all be able to feel again this holiday season, however, because Respawn have brought it back for Apex’s winter event, the Holo-Day Bash.
Nvidia’s new RTX 3060 Ti graphics card might have come out of the blue yesterday, but if you’re looking to get hold of one Nvidia’s newly announced ray tracing GPUs, you’re in the right place. Launching at 6am PT / 2pm GMT today, December 2nd, the RTX 3060 Ti is arguably the next-gen RTX card you’ve been waiting for all along – and you can find out exactly why in my Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti review.

. You control Baba. Cute lil pixely pal Baba. In the first level, you’re given some pretty simple prompts. Baba Is You, Rock is Push, Flag is Win, and Wall is Stop. Thankfully, these all seem intuitive. You can’t pass through the wall, but you can push the rock. Moving around with the arrow keys controls Baba. Touch the flag to win.
At least, that’s the best I can describe what just happened in Fortnite‘s superhero-packed finale for Chapter 2, Season 4. The cinematic climax to an Avengers-themed period of murder island antics just wrapped up with a wonderfully bizarre dogfighting section, hurling players straight into the planet-killer’s tummy before pulling the servers offline to prepare for season 5.
If you take a few very specific steps in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s Zombies mode, you can unlock a special easter egg, as well as special abilities known as Wonder Weapons. Be warned: it’ll take a long ol’ time, and is much easier with a group of friends, so get these instructions up, squad up with your gang, and get ready for the grind. Here’s how to get the easter egg in Cold War Zombies mode.
Run ‘n’ dash ‘n’ slash ’em up roguelike Dead Cells is about to stumble straight into another piece of paid DLC. Today, Motion Twin’s Dead Cells-centric subsidiary Evil Empire released a teaser for Fatal Falls, an expansion that’s adding two new regions and all the baddies you’d need to fill ’em up when it drops early next year.
Truly, not even the festive cheer of the Christmas season is enough to shoo away the low-poly scare-makers working under the Haunted PS1 label. This week, the collective kicked off their latest collaborative project, the Haunted PS1 Madvent Calendar, a delicious selection of 24 bloody treats unlocked over the 24 days running up to Christmas. Trust me, there’s no chocolate waiting behind those blurry, low-res doors.
With Halo 4 done and dusted and dropped onto PC, you’d be forgiven for thinking 343’s work here was done. But our big green pal still has some work to do, and the developers have been thinking of more ways to tinker with Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Speaking in a blog post this week, 343 laid out plans for cut content and future rewards, musing on how modders may eventually pick up the slack when it comes to keeping John Halo suited up for years to come.
