Players of Cyberpunk 2077 will likely have noticed a hacking minigame appear a great many times throughout V’s journey. This minigame will appear when you use Breach Protocol on an enemy, but it can also be used on certain machines and access points to get extra money. It’s a fairly confusing minigame that isn’t well-explained by the game, but our Cyberpunk 2077 hacking minigame guide will walk you through exactly how it all works, so you’ll never be confused again by this strange screen of codes and sequences.

The Cyberpunk 2077 story is where the game truly shines, in spites of all its other faults. Comprised of several acts and chapters, each with multiple branching quests, it can be fairly tricky to figure out how far along into the story you are. Our Cyberpunk 2077 story quests list will walk you through exactly how many quests are in each section of the story, so you’ll know how much there is left to do before you reach the end.

I’m a sucker for Far Cry’s charismatic bad guys. Since Far Cry 3, Ubisoft has obviously been aiming to write villians that thrill and terrify in equal measure, but with the stone-age Far Cry Primal they weren’t as concerned about handsome, hypnotic lunatics, or superforeigners that were here to save the day via a never-ending stream of bullets.

To my eyes, at least, they wanted to stick Far Cry’s survival of the fittest hunting and gathering in a game where it made sense.

[cms-block]This is a strange old door. It’s upside down, for a start, and it’s got a faint whiff of flamingo meat to it. You’ve got a horrible feeling it might be a metaphor for something. But none of that really matters, because it’s simply a cracking little door, and you want to hear more of the sick double bass riff that’s just audible from within.

Screenshot Saturday Sundays! Batten the hatches, fill those hot water bottles and prepare to hunker down for the winter, readers. But before I vanish under fifteen layers of bedsheets, I reckon there’s time enough for one last roundup of Saturday’s screenshots this Sunday. This week: Pulpy space pirates, throwback online worlds, unfinished maps and unsettling sneaking.

Cyberpunk 2077

‘s creators evidently had high hopes for their sprawling Keanu-toting RPG. But with the game lander rougher (read: buggier) than expected, CD Projekt executives have reportedly chosen to rethink their bonus structure, promising to pay developers their full share of their bonuses regardless of how well Cyberpunk reviews – even if, y’know, gating employee bonuses behind extremely high performance expectations is the sort of dystopian “Corpo” attitude you’d expect from Night City’s fictional CEOs.

Even a winter gremlin like myself does, occasionally, miss the sun. Fortunately, Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is offering an unseasonable dose of vitamin D with its nostalgic summer holiday. Released this week, Ustwo’s latest is a sweet little island holiday filled with bird-spotting, activism, and restoring some life to this knackered old coastal town. Just mind you pack your sunscreen, kid.

Hell of a racket behind door 12 of our Advent Calendar. Sounds like an entire building is being destroyed – but not wantonly. With a very intense purpose, in fact.

So what does the B stand for anyway? Bomber? Best? Blurst? Because I’m looking at the ship right now, and that doesn’t look like any B I’ve ever seen. Semantics aside, the topsy-turvy heavy bomber has finally arrived in a free update to Star Wars: Squadrons alongside the TIE Defender, an Imperial fighter that looks like someone glued an extra pair of wings onto the Interceptor and called it a night.

Hey, even shipbuilders have slow days at the office.

World Of Warcraft

‘s best story doesn’t concern old gods, banshee queens or gruff orc heroes. Rather, it involves one panda’s stubborn determination to drop the “War” from “Warcraft”. Having not once picked up a sword, left the starting zone or even pledged allegiance to the Alliance or Horde, WoW player DoubleAgent has now hit the Shadowlands level cap doing nought but pick flowers for eighteen days straight.
