Ghost of Tsushima took some time to grow on me with Sucker Punch’s decision to tie navigation to watching the wind blow. When I reviewed it on launch day, I still wasn’t a fan. I wasn’t used to not being able to move through the massive game world on autopilot and being forced to consider and reconsider my path to most objectives. I deemed it an accessibility failure and asked for traditional waypoints....

Ghost of Tsushima puts you in the role of Jin Sakai, one of the last surviving samurai on Tsushima Island following the invasion of the Mongol army. It’s a story about embedded belief systems and the willingness to bend that code to fight back against an overwhelming enemy. It opens with a beach invasion where the samurai are summarily cut down by the invaders. You meet our antagonist, Khotun Khan - grandson of Ghengis, completely made up for this game - who is challenged to a duel by one of Tsushima’s strongest warriors....

You will cooperate as a team of four to compete against other teams online....

As soon as you take the path towards The Barrens, a glowing scroll is sure to catch your eye. This is the Vulture’s Gold Treasure Map - the first of its kind that you’ve seen in God of War Ragnarok. You only clues are what looks like an image of a giant skull submerged in sand and the poem: “In search of peace, the beast finds only war. Its last breath of life atop the sands....

Earlier today (July 18), Fortnite leaker, news, and Epic Games partner Shiina was able to confirm three of the upcoming Dragon Ball skins that are meant to be coming to the battle royale. These include the worst saiyan around Goku, in what looks to be his shirtless, Ultra Instinct form, best husband Vegeta, in his Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan form (no we’re not making this up), and Beerus, who’s just a flat out god....

Today’s trailer offered another look at gameplay, following on from the extended gameplay demo we all saw almost exactly one month ago. In the video, we are given a look at the character Nightwing who is determined to make Gotham safe. As Batman’s first protege before becoming a hero in his own right, as a natural leader, Dick Grayson is a bit of an optimist, and a rather charismatic member of the Batman Family....

The update introduces a couple of main features such as wind direction and wind speed indicators on the Race Display, and 64 new music tracks have been added. With the Race Display, an arrow noting wind direction was added, and a number showing wind speed will be displayed on the upper right of the screen under the Track Map. Other improvements and adjustments have also been made. These include fixes to progression blocks and application errors, the World Circuits, audio, car settings and more....

Some of the item locations we’ll list below are vital to fundamental elements of the game, while others are just constituent parts of things that aren’t truly essential, but are nice to have all the same. When you’re building your base, then you will definitely need to stock up on Weed Stems - but what you need to actually lay hands on them isn’t super clear. Or if you’re trying to make water intake a little more convenient while you’re exploring, then you need to find some Grubs for Grub Hide....

During the early access phase for Grounded, players are encouraged to provide feedback during the early development process. The developers will be adding content based on said feedback from the community and will squash bugs and apply fixes where needed. Grounded is a co-op survival game, where four children get shrunk down in size and must defend their backyard from bugs by crafting and building defenses in order to grow back to normal size....

Rockstar has posted an update on GTA 4’s Steam page to address how/when the game will be back on sale once again. GTA 4 and its DLC, of course, became unavailable for purchase on Valve’s store earlier this year. The developer is now ready to bring the game back to Steam, and has revealed what’s going to be changing. First, the main game and the Episodes from Liberty City DLC will be rolled into a single version called GTA 4: Complete Edition....

That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you figure out how to carve a clean path through the scoping sequence and the heist preparation missions.

As per the game’s Steam page, the game will eat up a frankly jaw-dropping 150GB of storage of disk space. Compared to other current-gen games, this is massive – the only games we can think of off the top of our heads that beats it is Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, which weighs in at a behemoth 190GB and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare that hits about 231GB....

Over on the official PlayStation Blog, Guerilla provided some story details for Call of the Mountain ahead of its launch with the PSVR2 on February 22. In Call of the Mountain, you play as new character Ryas, a member of the Carja in Shadow. The game follows on from the Carja Sundom and the effects of the Red Raid, a series of attacks enacted by neighbouring tribes, resulting in the death of the Mad Sun-King Jiran....

Disintegration will be released on PC, PS4 and Xbox One on June 16. Today, developer V1 Interactive announced the release date and revealed a neat pre-order bonus.

Disintegration is an interesting mix of strategy an action....

While we know a bit about battle passes already, like the fact they never expire, and we know the first one will arrive alongside the game’s release next month, this is the first time the studio has offered up information on pricing. Speaking with IGN, the studio divulged the pass will run you $10 and since there are no loot boxes, you will always know exactly what you’re getting. Again, battle passes never expire, but you can only have one active at a time....

Obviously there’s a lot of time to go until release. There’s the fact it’s launching in a semi-compromised state, with some modes and features that fans were looking forward to pushed back to future updates. But after many, many hours playing the multiplayer beta over the course of this weekend, one thing is clear: this is the best Halo in ages. The thing about Halo, for my money, is that the very things that made it special also made it very hard to replicate....

Linde, who has racked up a number of high-profile writing credits in his career to date, is credited as the lead narrative designer on Halo Infinite – which boasted a campaign our own Alex thought was ’the ultimate solo Halo experience. But just as the latest Halo game starts to really gain momentum after its release at the end of 2021, Linde has announced he’ll be moving on from 343 Industries to “pursue a new opportunity in 2022”....

Rumors that Halo Infinite’s multiplayer would not launch with the game are untrue, says 343 Industries. According to community manager Brian Jarrard, the game’s multiplayer has not been delayed.

In Season 2: Lone Wolves, you can expect three modes along with variants featuring a mix of returning favorites and something new to Halo. One of the modes coming with the season is King of the Hill. While you may already know how the returning mode is played, this iteration comes with a bit of a twist. In it, a neutral hill will spawn on the map. When this happens, two teams will battle to take control of it to earn points....
