The fifteenth door of the calendar is incredibly> stylish, and you can hear some amazing tunes on the other side. But, er, there also appears to be blood seeping out from the other side. Oh dear…

Yesterday, CD Projekt Red had a big emergency call with investors discussing the state of Cyberpunk 2077, and what it means for its DLC and multiplayer plans. It’s no secret that the game’s launch came with a helluva lot of bugs, I’ve experienced a ton myself on PC – but for players on last-gen consoles, Cyberpunk is in an even sorrier state. CDPR say their focus is now on improving the base game, but there are concerns the amount of work involved could impact new content planned for the next couple of years.

Operators fight in the Nuketown map in Cold War

Season one of Call of Duty Cold War is integrating the game with Warzone Battle Royale, meaning you’ll now be able to cross-progress thanks to all the sweet guns available in both modes.

One such new addition is the Sledgehammer, so here’s how to unlock the Sledgehammer in Call of Duty Warzone and Cold War.

Operator performs a finishing move in Black Ops Cold War

Warzone and Cold War have some cool new melee options, including the Wakizashi. They aren’t as easy to unlock as some might like though – you’ll have to be a Combat Knife expert. For the Wakizashi, you’ll need to learn to perform Finishing Moves using your trusty knife. So, with that in mind, here’s how to do Finishing Moves in Call of Duty Cold War and Warzone.

A screenshot from Kalimba showing two totem heads jumping through a subterranean level.

Kalimba

is probably the greatest puzzle platformer you’ve never played. Just saying its name brings a smile to my face. It’s a delightful word that just rolls off the tongue, much like the pair of grinning totem heads you’ll send cascading through its subterranean levels in search of ever-larger totem faces to help bring the light back to your cursed island. It’s a real gem, old Kalimba, and it remains one of my favourite games of all time. (more…)

Cyberpunk 2077 - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Lauren Morton)

Unlike approximately every single one of my friends, I did not spend this weekend playing Cyberpunk 2077, but I was still exposed to all its many amusing bugs, glitches, and silly weapons. I’ve seen V’s penis clipping through his trousers, characters with disappearing penises, and a sex toy (shaped like a penis) used as a melee weapon. They’re all quite funny, including the ones that don’t involve penises, but as someone who has not yet played this game I can confidently say that the bugs are best experienced with the vocal and instrumental improv accompaniment of a fella called Blindboy.
