This is the first game where your actual campgrounds are inside the Fade itself. But what is the Fade, really?

There were two moments during The Game Awards last week when I went “Oh!” in excitement, and then seconds later, went, “Oh”, in disappointment. The first was when Warren Spector’s newest immersive sim,Thick As Thieves, was announced. I was sold, all the way up till I realised the game was a multiplayer PvPvE game. The second wasElden Ring: Nightreign. I don’t particularly care forElden Ring, but I figured it would get a lot of attention – then I realised that this, too, was a multiplayer game....

Quick Links Bastions inDungeons & Dragonsare a way for players to invest their hard-earned money in a cozy home, filled with facilities that can aid them on their adventures. These facilities, however, can also be used to make even more money, since there isn’t such a thing as enough gold. If you want to know how to turn your bastion into a merchant’s empire, or you’re just looking to create a hoard for your dragonborn, then this guide is for you....

Being aPS5 Proowner is suffering. Don’t get me wrong, I reap the benefits of my purchase whenever I jump into a game on the console, but it doesn’t feel likeSonyhas supported this mid-gen refresh in ways it should be. After the first batch of updated titles on release, there’s been nary a peep, nor any news on a pipeline of other experiences set to take advantage of the new machine. Why not delve into the back catalog to keep people invested instead of complete radio silence?...

I’ve watched a lot ofWarhammerTV in my time. Too much, some might say, ‘some’ being my wife. And I get it, the TV shows that tie intoGames Workshop’ssci-fi and fantasy worlds can be hit, miss, or worse. The same goes for the books. There are the greats, like Eisenhorn and (as I’m currently finding out)the Horus Heresy series, the goods, like the Forge of Mars trilogy and any of those pertaining to your favourite faction, and the bads, which I won’t name here to spare their embarrassment....

Summary Virtua Fighterhas been a pretty dormant franchise for quite a while, with the last title in the series coming in 2012 with Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown. It’s been almost 13 years since the last game, but that drought finally looks to be over, as a new Virtua Fighter is confirmed to be in development at Sega, with Yakuza developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios at the helm.

InChicken Police: Into The Hive, the animal characters behave very human-like, which makes the story feel more realistic. The seriousness of the events is deep, and the dialogues between the characters reflect that, sometimes even with humor. While it’s important to focus on the main goals and complete them, the game also hides some collectibles in a very clever way. These collectibles belong to Marty, and it’s likely he had them before getting married, possibly getting rid of them to prevent Laura from finding them....
