How to use the Sawmill in V Rising Here’s how to turn Lumber into Planks with the Sawmill Confused about how to use the Sawmill in V Rising? V Rising takes a rather different approach to crafting items and refining resources than most survival and crafting games you’ll have come across.

That being crashing, stuttering, the usual Unreal Engine 5 trouble at the mill. Framerate-related grumbling in particular has prompted a Steam post from Gearbox, presenting a setting-by-setting guide to optimisation on GeForce graphics cards that their pals at Nvidia put together....

I’m enjoying the unique challenge of playing Darktide with rubbish weapons and no talents A little self-flagellation never hurt anyone Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Fatshark I’ve griped before that Warhammer 40,000 Darktide hides satisfying challenges behind tedious grind, but another interesting challenge is easily missed and forgotten at the opposite end of the scale. Darktide is hard when you start a new character, with weapons that barely scratch some foes and no talents to back them up....

It’s worth downloading the demo for uncanny horror Eclipsium just to stare at your hands Nails the atmosphere Image credit:Housefire The only sound that greets you upon booting up Eclipsium is a loudly throbbing heart.

Life Below is an underwater city-builder for lovers of Finding Nemo and haters of coral reef extinction My Octopus Teacher Image credit:Kasedo Games My sherry-swilling, moustache-twirling armchair theorist understanding of ocean-wide coral decline is that addressing it will require a, forgive me, seachange in attitudes towards the “natural” realm we generally position as external and other, ripe for the despoiling - a new way of inhabiting and co-constituting this mote caught in a sunbeam, this stargazing planet from which lamentation is spun, this blithe blue impossibility we (but who are “we”?...

Lord Of The Rings Online players finally complete the Great Hobbit Run by incinerating themselves in Mount Doom Cast them into the fire! Image credit:Daybreak Game Company LLC I don’t regret the many years I’ve spent not playing MMOs, but I do regret not taking part in the Great Hobbit Run.

The nations that dot the continent of Calradia throw untold numbers of bodies at their neighbours with the goal of expanding their land....

Marvel Rivals’ latest gambit is seeing whether you’ll pay real money for colours No, not that Gambit Image credit:NetEase/ Marvel Rivals Colours! They exist, right? They’re all around us, everywhere you go, and as of yesterday, Marvel Rivals did something revolutionary: it made them customizable. Taking my sarcasm hat off for a moment, that means developer NetEase added in the ability to choose different colour palette options for your costumes. It’s just a small little way to add some amount of uniqueness to your version of the game’s extremely pre-established characters, really....
