Fallout: London’s DLC is still “coming soon”, but you can now immersively drink its irradiated tea in VR We’re about one step away from a post-apocalyptic pub crawl you can taste. Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Team FOLON Fallout: London might have launched buggier than a holiday at a nature reserve dedicated to cockroaches and coders, but since that point Team FOLON’s put a lot of effort into making sure people can enjoy the pretty damn good game it’s created....

Farming explained in Manor Lords How to farm rye, wheat, and other crops in Manor Lords Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Hooded Horse Trying to figure out how farming works in Manor Lords? Setting up a farm is one of the major steps you’ll need to undertake in Manor Lords to make your fledgling settler’s camp transform into a bustling, healthy town. But there’s quite a bit to figure out along the way, from basics like setting up your land plots to more involved questions like how farming works in tandem with the seasons....

First Hades 2 patch lets you gather seed, silver and souls simultaneously Resourceful Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Supergiant Games Hell-wandering roguelike Hades 2 has received its first proper patch, and it does everything the developers said it would. You now sprint faster and, significantly, you can gather more than one type of crafting resource per run (as long you’ve unlocked the tool that lets you gather that resource). This means Melinoë can now go fishing, dig up seeds, mine silver, and gain the trust of errant shades, all in a single night’s work....

First Monster Hunter Wilds updates fix a progress-blocking bug, but not the dodgy PC performance Capcom’s biggest Monster Hunter launch gets a Mixed Steam reaction Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Capcom Monster Hunter Wilds has been racking up the skulls, attracting well over a million simultaneous Steam players this weekend despite a mixed player reaction , with particular scorn reserved for its technical performance. Now begins the process of patching the behemoth to address some player-reported problems with certain quests....

Flintlock: The Siege Of Dawn shows off its gunpowder pistols, axes and big hoofing kicks New gameplay tease has arrived ahead of an extended reveal next month Image credit:Kepler Interactive Flintlock: The Siege Of Dawn is one of those third person action adventure games I’ve been quietly looking forward to ever since I first read about it in Edge in May 2022, even though we’ve seen and heard relatively little about it since....

Former Stardew Valley developer’s new life sim set in a city looks ambitious But you can still farm Image credit:Mr. Podunkian Arthur ‘Mr. Podunkian’ Lee, one-time contributor to the megalithic Stardew Valley , is now working on a life sim of his own. It’s currently unnamed, but it’s set in a city, it’s got bikes, and it’s got a tentative intention to release in 2024. Although there’s no name yet, it doesn’t seem quite right to say that it’s early days for the game - at least if judging by Lee’s X account, which has been pumping out varied, enticing little videos for the past year....

Fractured Blooms is a cosy game about tending your garden and– oh god that’s a lot of blood Ah, so relaxing Image credit:Serenity Forge Too many cosy games about mindlessly planting turnips. Not enough cosy games about the house slowly being taken over by viscera. Fractured Blooms is tagged on Steam as “cute” and “anime” and “psychological horror”. It was announced at the Summer Game Fest, where presenter Geoff Keighly described the game as " Doki Doki Literature Club meets Silent Hill"....

Helldivers 2 developers have big, opaque plans for Galactic War and that black hole you made The bug report Image credit:Arrowhead Game development studio and intergalactic war ministry Arrowhead have launched a new series of written update posts for players of Helldivers 2 to help keep the war record straight. Mostly, this is the usual case of somebody on the team gathering quotes as the developers batter their fingertips against keyboards to bring you, the video gamer, fresh cannons and what-have-you....

Helldivers 2’s update adds the dreaded Illuminate faction, plus city maps and bouncy jeeps The squids, they are here Image credit:Sony Arrowhead and Sony have released a new Helldivers 2 update that introduces the long-rumoured third faction, the Illuminate. Titled Omens of Tyranny, the update also stirs in city maps and a driveable jeep with a mounted gun that immediately reminds me of Halo’s Warthog, and is hopefully just as fragile and bouncy....

Hollow Knight Silksong walkthrough: Part 1 (Moss Grotto) Everything to watch out for as you accompany Hornet through Moss Grotto Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Team Cherry Not sure how to start your Silksong journey in Moss Grotto? Hollow Knight: Silksong begins with Hornet in a slightly difficult situation. Captured by unknown adversaries, she’s transported into a foreign land, one where - in her weakened state - she’s no longer the fearsome Princess Knight, but simply another traveller....

Hollow Knight Silksong walkthrough: Part 28 (Sands Of Karak) Here’s how to reach and navigate the perilous Sands Of Karak Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Team Cherry Not quite sure where to go in the Sands Of Karak region of Hollow Knight: Silksong? The Sands Of Karak have actually been traversable ever since Part 19 , when we got access to the Clawline harpoon. But it’s one of the trickier regions in Silksong, despite its relative lack of enemies - and there are a few reasons why it’s a good idea to leave it until Hornet is a little bit more experienced....

How to complete A Better Use in Arc Raiders Learn how to identify and use Call Stations to get Supply Drops in A Better Use Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Embark Studios Struggling to find a Call Station and get a Supply Drop in the Arc Raiders quest A Better Use? You’re not alone. Call Stations are notoriously hard to spot, and they’re not guaranteed spawns, either. Unfortunately, although they’re shown in the icon legend on the Arc Raiders Map, the icon doesn’t actually appear until you are very close by, which makes finding Call Stations notoriously difficult....

There are various ways you can contract the Vampirism disease , known as Porphyric Hemophilia , in Oblivion Remastered. A simple scratch while fighting a Vampire is enough to do it. You can also acquire Vampirism through the Dark Brotherhood questline, or by eating the Beating Heart in the Daedric quest , “Unearthing Mehrunes Razor”....

How to get the Hollow Knight Silksong Wanderer Crest Unlock a downwards Pogo attack with the Crest of the Wanderer Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun / Team Cherry Looking for the Crest of Wanderer in Hollow Knight: Silksong? Multiple Crests are hidden throughout the world of Pharloom, and equipping them changes the way that Hornet plays in Hollow Knight: Silksong .

I find Monster Hunter Wilds’ Arkveld to be a deeply mournful creature If also comically vulnerable to paralysis Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Capcom I have recently immersed myself in the pleasantly numb Monster Hunter Wilds loop of smashing Arkvelds to bits. They are, as far as I can tell, the most profitable creature to bully, and I now find myself skinny dipping in the gulf of meaning that lies between the regal, resentful, mildly sassy chains hanging from the creature’s armour set, and the deeply sad and laboured motions with which it swings its bodily inspiration for those chains....

I have no idea what you do in Hypnos, but its cosmic horror, megastructure world looks so pretty I’m not bothered Is… is the game hypnotising me? Image credit:Redlock Studio, Enclave A position I take that is quite hard to explain in any way that is actually helpful is that for a game to catch someone’s attention it must have aesthetic sensibilities that no other game has. To truly get someone’s attention anyway, enough marketing budget can undo that, but for an indie game, a vibe (mysterious, unquantifiable) that I haven’t felt before will pull me in quicker than listing off genre conventions it follows....

I’m happy to report that Menace feels just as deadly and uncaring as Battle Brothers If not quite as charming Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Overhype Unlike Battle Brothers , there’s no hoofing it across an overworld map in the hoo-rah space marine tactics of Menace . Instead, you’ll build your squad and deploy them across strings of missions on what I assume at this point are multiple different planets. I’d love to be able to tell you more about the context surrounding the battles, since that context was what, for me at least, made Battle Brothers interesting....
