The end times have come once more, and all we have left are Daughters (cloned? cloned-but-with-magic?) from a mighty warrior. With the three classes of Daughter–gun, spear, and shield–we’ll fight back the nightmares, levelling up our girls, unlocking new abilities, and maybe losing a few. Daughters have (or so the plan once was, I don’t know how much it’s changed over the years) permadeath and no healing, but you can sacrifice other Daughters to heal your wounded, grasping red hands clawing up at them on that menu screen....

How to infiltrate Zero Day’s bunker in Watch Dogs: Legion First up, you’ll want to pop on over to the Stockwell War Bunker. There, you’ll be greeted with a bunch of screens and an interactable keyboard. Use the keyboard, and then keep an eye on the screens. They’ll flash in a certain order and you’ll need to hack the screens in that order. The order stays the same throughout but is extended three times, first with four screens, then six, then eight....

Below, we’ll explain everything you need to know about Lost Ark guilds, including how to make a guild, how to leave a guild, how many players can join a Lost Ark guild, and a breakdown of weekly guild quests. How to make a guild in Lost Ark To create a guild in Lost Ark, you need to reach Prideholme. This is the first town you’ll find in Lost Ark, and it marks the end of the prologue....

How to unlock the Bryson 890 in Modern Warfare 2 To unlock the Bryson 890 in Modern Warfare 2, you need to progress the Bryson 800 to Level 16. The Bryson 800 is the base gun on the Bryson 800 series weapon platform and is also the default shotgun that’s unlocked at the start of the game, so fortunately, this is a relatively unarduous unlock compared to some others in MW2....

However, players getting into Warzone 2 (or Season One of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2) have been a bit confused by the status of the Chimera, since there’s currently no way to properly unlock it in-game. Read on below for a full explainer of what’s going on with the Chimera, as well as how and when you’ll be able to unlock it. How to unlock the Chimera in Warzone 2 At the moment, there’s no way to unlock the Chimera in Warzone 2....

It’s a good question. The kind which, for most people, might fuel a good half hour in a pub, or a 2am chat with a partner who can’t sleep. But for Hogg and his long-term collaborator Ricky Haggett - who last year spun a thought about the simple pleasure of stacking shelves into the phenomenal Wilmot’s Warehouse - it’s a question worth writing a game about. That game is I Am Dead, and after watching Hogg and Haggett play for half an hour, it looks like exactly the tonic I need in the middle of this long, dark year....

I really, really like that it blinks. Or winks? I suppose it could be winking. How would I even know how many eyeballs the protagonist has? As I understand it, Signalis is set in the far future, where humanity has spread amongst the stars, and it turns out space isn’t the best place. We play as an android who wakes in a wreck to find terrible, terrible things afoot. So off she goes, fighting monsters, solving puzzles, and stretching limited resources in that classic sort of Resident Evil-y, Silent Hill-ish way....

No, that’s not right. Starstruck is a rhythm-action game about a guitarist trying to make it big. No, no. Starstruck is a silly rampage game about taking control of a giant hand as it smashes up little model neighbourhoods. Wait, it’s actually a slightly dark story about a boy struggling to be more like someone he admires without losing his identity. No it’s about playing with your toys and being sad that they were damaged....

Now my time has come. The corporate mother has chosen me and today is devouring day. I’m no longer the editor-in-chief of Rock Paper Shotgun, but I’m excited to introduce who is. I don’t want to prolong my goodbye, because the reality is I’m not going far. I’m passing off the day-to-day operations of RPS, but my new role within the digestive bowels of mother ReedPop still involves overseeing the site’s future and supporting its editor-in-chief....

Over on @DoomscrollDOOM on Twitter, the bot is slowly posting through 15,770 frames of Ultimate Doom, starting at the end. It’s the digibaby of Steve Nass and Owen Weeks, who are nabbing frames from a longplay of Ultimate Doom by, uh, “Retro Game Spacko”. Sometimes you’ll see ultraviolence. Sometimes you’ll see a wall. I wish it had better image quality (a side-effect of feeding in a YouTube video, I assume?...

As we know, The Foundation expansion for Control will take Jesse on more of those surreal adventures from the main game this Thursday, March 26th. Aside from Control, Epic have corralled a nice herd of neat indie games. Silly physics game Totally Reliable Delivery Service will launch on April 1st and the things that your delivery agents will have to navigate do indeed look like a horrible prank. Industries Of Titan will arrive on April 14th, which Nate has dubbed one of the best upcoming city builders....

“World of Warcraft has this system where you can purchase a token with in-game gold and convert it into Battle.net balance (13 Euros = 1 Token)”, user Everdale said in the Overwatch subreddit. “The rate isn’t great at all, and unless you’re really good at gold-farming or just super committed to grinding, it can take a while to make decent gold.” Everdale points out that, despite the grind, it’s still worth the effort compared to the lower value that Overwatch 2 players can gain from the weekly challenges Blizzard are offering....

Among the many graphs that Finnbogason presented to the Eve faithful during his Fanfest keynote in Reykjavík this year, one was a colourful standout. It showed Eve Online’s learning curve as a comedy cliff face, so steep that it turned back on itself. Stickmen tumbled from its peak, while others were crucified or hanged from the curve’s mantel - killed by Eve’s notoriously cruel new player experience. It earned a laugh of grim recognition from the audience, all survivors of that terrible climb....

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk was first announced last year, and was originally expected to launch in 2021. It’s an urban 3D adventure where you’ll be sliding, wall-running and dashing your way around a city, with the goal of tagging as many spots as you can with your name. It’s being made by Team Reptile, the folks behind Lethal League (the fighting games where you thwack your enemies with a physics-defying ball to win), with music by Hideki Naganuma, who composed for the iconic Jet Set Radio games....

These are the figures AMD provided during their livestream event yesterday, and at first glance it all looks pretty impressive. While Gears 5 and Borderlands 3 aren’t the most demanding games on the planet, it’s good to see AMD’s first Big Navi card will be able to run them at 60fps+ on max settings at 4K. With these kinds of numbers, it would imply that the AMD’s first RX 6000 card will be a proper RTX 3080 competitor, which as we saw in my review is also capable of producing speeds of at least 60fps on max settings at 4K, too....

We also talked about the difficulties with getting voice actors in the same room during a pandemic, and how they designed a character with some interesting views on game development to remind themselves not to become too self-serious. “The game was originally pitched to be much more like a spiritual sequel to Virginia,” co-director Jonathan Burroughs tells me. “It was set in America, and the tone would’ve been darker than what we’ve ultimately ended up with....

If this take on Warriors sounds familiar (beyond how everyone’s doing this sort of thing), that might be because it’s by 2Wei and Edda Hayes, who also did that grim Destiny’s Child cover in a Tomb Raider movie trailer. Check out the LoL 10.1 patch notes and Teamfight Tactics 10.1 patch notes for the changes coming with Season 2020. LoL isn’t my MOBA of choice and boy howdy its makers are all sorts of awful but I do still like that they set aside a chunk of the marketing budget to just make songs and music videos....

Bandai Namco say that the free download for the original Little Nightmares is available via the the Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe store, which I can’t seem to finagle my way on to, so I’m afraid you’re on your own from there. There’s also a popup over on Bandai Namco’s main site that you can slap your email address into “for your chance to claim a free copy” via Steam key, though it’s not super clear if that’s a raffle situation or the same freebie offer they’ve mentioned....
