Lords of the Fallen is not designed to be a walk in the park. This is a game meant to teach you lessons the hard way: by killing you repeatedly until you learn how to best deal with the obstacle that’s being put in your way. Fortunately, the developers at Hexworks didn’t want to leave people completely in the dark, and thus were kind enough to share these eight combat tips to help you survive the realms of Axiom and Umbral.
1. Make Sure You Lock On
This may seem like a fairly basic tip to any soulslike veteran, but it’s absolutely vital to utilize your lock on, not just to keep track of enemies, but also to make sure that things like your magic attacks, soul flays, and ranged bow and arrow attacks will hit.
2. Use Your Unique Attacks...

Following its release date leak, 505 Games has officially confirmed that Ghostrunner 2 will launch on October 26 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
“Despite our best ninja skills, we couldn’t stop the news leaking on Ghostrunner 2,” 505 Games said in a Tweet.
Before 505 Games had the chance to properly announce the date, it leaked alongside prices for the various editions as well. The Standard version is $40, the Deluxe Edition is $50, and the Brutal Edition is $70.
Those who preorder the game will receive the Red Eye Dragon and Golden Traditional sword and hand skins, but they will also be sold separately at a later date. For those who upgrade to either the Deluxe or Brutal editions, they will receive 48 hours of early...
Bethesda head of publishing Pete Hines has spoken out in response to remarks made by ex-Blizzard developer Mark Kern, who had previously leaked an image of Starfield’s start screen and criticized its design as "hasty" or the work of a team "that didn't care".
“The physiognomy of start screens," Kern in a Twitter post late last week. "The start screen of a game can reveal a lot about how rushed the team was and how much pride they took in their work. Starfield's start screen either shows hasty shipping deadlines by a passionate team overworked, or a team that didn't care.”
Kern went on to note in a subsequent tweet that, in his experience, such screens are created at “the very end of development”, and that it is common for start...
One Baldur's Gate 3 player took his Dark Urge role to the extreme as they went about not only murdering nearly every NPC in Act 1, but also storing and sorting them in one house.
For those unfamiliar, The Dark Urge is an Origin character in Baldur's Gate 3 that has an insatiable... well... urge to do terrible things. As you progress through the game, you will be tempted by this urge in dialogue options and will be given the choice to lean into it or try to work it from your mind. For this player, they leaned all the way in.
As reported by Dexerto, caufenkamp on Reddit shared their journey with the community, and you have to see the image it to believe it. Warning: the image in the link is NSFW and could be triggering to some...
The Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 clearly wants to be the definitive collection that every Metal Gear fan is going to want and, well, so far so good based on what I’ve played. What Konami has packed in here for 60 bucks – so many amazing Metal Gear games, and some spectacular fan service extras – has left a heck of a first impression after my two hours spent playing it.
After getting to play it, I could not believe how much care went into this collection. Like Konami’s TMNT Cowabunga Collection, I don’t think any fan is going to be disappointed. The NES games are there and all of the different versions are included, with Metal Gear Solid clearly having gotten a ton of love and attention for the first time since the Twin...
David Vonderhaar, Treyarch's studio design director who has been with the company for 18 years and has helped ship 8 Call of Duty games, is leaving the company for a new adventure.
Vonderhaar, who has been with the company since October 2004 and Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, took to LinkedIn to share the news and thank those who have been part of his journey at Treyarch.
"Today I am sharing that I have left Activision and Treyarch after an incredible 18 years and 8 Call of Duty games," Vonderhaar wrote. "To my co-workers at Treyarch, I am immensely grateful for the time we invested working to improve our craft, never sitting on successes, and always wondering how to improve what we design and how we produce it.
"Thank you to the...
Overwatch 2 director Aaron Keller has taken the time to not only respond to the game's unfortunate review bombing on Steam, but also to reassure fans how much content is waiting ahead for them.
For those unfamiliar, Overwatch 2 launched on Steam on August 10 and quickly became the worst user-reviewed game on the platform ever. As of the time of our story, Overwatch 2 had a score of just 0.96 based on an approval rating of 10% from 92,028 votes.
On Blizzard.com, Keller addressed the review bombing in stride. While he admits it's not fun to have your game be the target of these online attacks, the joy of seeing new players join the game far outweighs it.
"We also launched on Steam last week, and, although being review-bombed isn't a...
Great Boo's ghost. Is it that time of year again already? Somehow, we've ticked around to CoD Preorder o'clock again. Mind you, whether or not Modern Warfare III is worthy of the Price — as in Captain John — is still anybody's guess at this point. If you are keen, however, I do have the best bargains for it laid out below. It's the same deal on deals for Mortal Kombat 1, Starfield and many more.

Since Black Myth: Wukong released its first trailer three years ago, every year on August 20th, the developer Game Science has shown something new about the development progress of the game. However, what's different this year is that we finally got to play it. Game Science held a large-scale Black Myth: Wukong hands-on event in Hangzhou China, inviting over one thousand players from all over the country to personally play the latest trial version of this anticipated action-RPG.
This 45-minute demo provided three different boss fights and a relatively complete chapter experience. It’s worth noting that after the event, the dev team made some adjustments to the trial version based on the feedback and suggestions received during the...
Every once in a long while, a game comes along that is so memorable, exciting, fresh, and well-written that it sets a new high-water mark for an entire genre. Baldur's Gate 3 is such an achievement for the tabletop roleplaying-inspired, swords and sorcery adventuring that its BioWare-made CRPG predecessors helped popularize decades ago. Larian Studios has turned this corner of Dungeons & Dragons’ Forgotten Realms into a beautiful, detailed world stocked with too many fully-realized, powerfully written, and skillfully voiced characters to count. There are heart-wrenching choices to be made, alliances to be forged, bears to be romanced, and a vast diversity of interesting, challenging turn-based combat encounters. I didn't merely enjoy my...
The Mortal Kombat 1 pre-order beta went live for Xbox and PS5 players on Friday, bringing with it multiple new characters for players to try as well as some returning stalwarts. The most popular of them so far seems to be Johnny Cage, who is winning over fans with big celebrity energy, big combos, and surprise sunglasses finishers.
Over on the Mortal Kombat subreddit, one of the top posts has the plaintive title, "This win cost me 500$." It shows Li Mei on the verge of finishing off Johnny, only for his sunglasses to flip through the air and hit her square in the face.
"He’s tons of fun in the beta, I tried everyone but I didn’t expect Johnny to click so well," the player wrote.
Another thread title gushes, "The quips, the...
To say Starfield is one of the biggest RPGs in years is an understatement. Bethesda's first new IP in decades is almost here, and while it's an Xbox Series X | S console exclusive, the massive RPG is also hitting a gaming PC near you. But which of the best graphics cards are well suited for exploring this all-new galaxy?
Luckily, the system requirements for Starfield were released a while ago. And while Bethesda has partnered with AMD to bring some tech over, anyone with a decent modern gaming rig should have no problems stepping into the RPG on its September 6 release day – you can even preload Starfield right now if you're using Game Pass.
Starfield PC System Requirements
Bethesda has released two sets of system requirements, as...
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is a stealth-action adventure that draws inspiration from the series' earlier years before it leaped into the open world of massive, hundred-hour action-RPGs with Odyssey and Valhalla.
Ahead of its early October release date, we’ve compiled this comprehensive overview of everything we know about Assassin’s Creed Mirage, including the latest information on platforms, price, gameplay, story, map size, game length, DLC, and more.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage Release Date, Price, Platforms

Call of Duty fans are talking about Modern Warfare 2 — not to be confused with the game under the same title from 2009 — following yesterday's reveal of Modern Warfare 3. Last year's entry in the long-running annual franchise made a lot of changes that angered fans. In fact, these changes drew so much heat from the community that Sledgehammer is completely walking many of them back for Modern Warfare 3, which is set to release on November 10th.
Changes included gameplay-level overhauls to the shooter's movement systems, minimap, player health, and perk systems. MW2 also removed players' ability to vote on maps in-between multiplayer matches. Call of Duty's success is partially thanks to its consistency, so needless to say, Infinity...

Each week, Xûr has a random assortment of Exotic armor, one for each Guardian class, as well as a random Exotic Weapon and an Exotic Engram available for purchase. In addition to his Exotic wares, he's got a random collection of Legendary weapons and armor to deck out your Guardians.

You’ve probably heard of a number of games that use hand-painted elements - usually backgrounds. But what about a game where everything - every object, every background, every platform - was hand-painted? That’s what developer Pat Naoum did in The Master’s Pupil (the trailer of which you can watch below), and it took him a whopping seven years of painting to finish it.
I’m speaking to Naoum on a call just a few weeks after the launch of The Master’s Pupil, but when I ask him what he considers his job title to be, he tells me he’s still a bit hesitant about introducing himself as a game developer. For the last 15 years, he’s been a graphic designer, but he’s been working on his game for most of that time. He explains that the idea for...
The tech experts at Digital Foundry have taken a look at Act 3 of Baldur’s Gate 3 in an attempt to explain why PCs appear to be struggling to handle it.
Larian’s sprawling Dungeons & Dragons-themed adventure is as dense an RPG as they come, a game packed with detail, NPCs, and areas to explore. As the game nears its third weekend, more and more players are hitting Act 3, with some reporting an increase in bugs and performance issues.
Light spoilers for Baldur’s Gate 3 Act 3 follow.
But why? According to Digital Foundry’s Alex Battaglia, it has to do with Baldur’s Gate, the setting for Act 3. This large city is packed with NPCs, which adds “considerable” burden to the CPU. This makes other issues worse, too.
“One of the quirks of...
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name includes a special trial version of 2024’s Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, developer RGG has revealed.
A new gameplay overview trailer was shown today, detailing the story and various game mechanics. At the end of the trailer, Gaiden’s protagonist, Kazuma Kiryu, is seen meeting up with Infinite Wealth protagonist Ichiban Kasuga.
In a following developer update, director Masayoshi Yokoyama said: “As you may have been surprised to see, we’re including a special trial version of next year’s Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth as bonus content with purchase of Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.”
Yokoyama said the special trial version includes scenes that aren’t in the main...
Developer TiMi Studio Group has teased the return of Delta Force, the classic voxel-based military first-person shooter that debuted on PC a quarter-century ago. The new game will be a cross-platform effort spanning PC, consoles, and mobile. More will be revealed at the proper unveiling next week at Gamescom Opening Night Live.
Large-scale multiplayer was a big part of the original game, and that appears to be the case in the new version, as you can see in the gameplay teaser trailer above. We asked the development team a few questions to learn what we could ahead of next week's full reveal.
"Our team has always been interested in creating realistic military-themed shooter games," said producer Shadow Guo. "As the producer, my first...
It looks like the PC version of Starfield does not support Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology, according to the preload files.
Spotted by PCGamer, a user on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) named Sebastian Castellanos searched through Starfield's preload files on PC and posted a screenshot noting various files and folders, stating AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 (FSR 2) was the only supersampling tech he could find, with no signs of DLSS or Intel's XeSS.
If that is the case, it should not be too much of a surprise; AMD announced a few months back that it was teaming up with Bethesda and that the GPU maker is "the exclusive PC partner for Starfield". While this does not rule out the...

The co-creator of the Dragon Age franchise has commented on the reaction to one of Baldur’s Gate 3’s main female characters, saying fans “always treated male characters with more forgiveness”.
The comments revolve around Lae'zel, a female Githyanki Fighter who can be a companion throughout Baldur’s Gate 3.
Lae'zel’s personality has prompted much discussion since Baldur’s Gate 3’s explosive launch on PC, with some praising her no-nonsense attitude, others criticising it, calling her “hostile”, "rude", and “unfriendly”.
This criticism of Lae'zel’s character has approached meme status, with parts of the community saying they’d ditch the character altogether if not for her impressive damage output and tanking ability.

When you mention FromSoftware, everyone automatically jumps to Dark Souls, or maybe Elden Ring now, given how monstrously popular that game was.

Slime Rancher is heading to the big screen with its own movie adaptation. According to Deadline, the popular sandbox game from Monomi Park is being adapted into a feature film as a joint venture with Story Kitchen.
Slime Rancher was originally released in early access back in 2016 with an official release in 2017. It currently holds a 98% rating on Steam, selling over six million copies and paving the way for a sequel, Slime Rancher 2.
The games have a fairly simple concept: dash around a host of colorful, chaotic alien worlds gathering up slimes, then return to your base to turn them into profit. Collect, raise, feed, and breed slimes to succeed – it’s really that simple.
However, its unique style and fun gameplay seem to have hit...
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has new Open Combat Missions that Activision says offer players greater freedom than any Call of Duty has before. But exactly how do they work?
In an interview with Xbox, David Swenson, campaign creative director at lead developer Sledgehammer Games, said these Open Combat Missions, or OCMs, add an “incredible” level of choice to the player.
OCMs offer the player a raft of choices for mission completion. You can, for example, go for a stealthy approach and use night-vision goggles and suppressed weapons to complete the mission without alerting enemies to your presence. If you want to go all guns blazing, you can use extra armour plates and wade in.
It’s worth pointing out you won’t be given an OCM...
Starfield preload kicked off this week, which means players have already downloaded Bethesda’s hotly-anticipated sci-fi role-playing game. It also means the burgeoning Starfield community is bracing itself for leaks.
At the time of publication, Starfield leaks are limited, but some story spoilers are floating about online, as well as a datamined list of space magic powers (we see the main character using a magic power in Bethesda's Starfield Direct video, below), and the Starfield main menu screen. Titles for the 79-track OST, if you consider track titles as a spoiler, are also online. Perhaps more spoilerific is the list of Starfield achievements, which are now online.
Bizarrely, the official Twitter account for fellow space game...
The Frog Detective series is coming to consoles as a single game called Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery, developer Worm Club has announced.
Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery contains all three Frog Detective games, and is due out later in 2023 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and S, including Game Pass. The Entire Mystery also includes an exclusive new scooter minigame.
