The games evolve, perhaps throwing in more combat and less precision jumping, but the genre remains pretty strong. If, however, you want a proper test of skill, a game designed around nailing the platforming mechanics on offer and competing to be the best, Demon Turf is a game that should jump to the top of your most wanted list. Initially the most striking aspect of Demon Turf is the 3D environments mixed with a 2D playable character and NPCs....

We’ve split them up into their own appropriate sections so you can quickly jump around to what you’re looking for.

The free PS5 and Xbox Series X optimisation upgrade for Destiny 2 arrived yesterday, though it was a bit of a faff to get on the PS5. Essentially, you had to delete Destiny 2 from your PS5 then select to install the PS4 version via the three dots before the PS5 option appeared. The download is just over 60 GB, though, so shouldn’t take long provided you have a stable internet connection....

That’s according to Activision Blizzard which stated as much during its Q3 2021 call to investors last night. Speaking on the call, Activision president and COO Daniel Alegre said Blizzard was now planning a “later launch” for both games than “originally envisaged.” That said, Blizzard has “a substantial amount of content” slated for next year, likely from World of Warcraft, Overwatch and its other titles. Adding a bit of color, CEO Bobby Kotick stated that staff departures, voluntary and otherwise, partially contributed to the delays and cited “turnover” and “increased competition in the market” for the company’s talent as partly offsetting its success in hiring....

Action RPGs and Diablo-likes are not exactly in short supply these days, but I find myself habitually going back to Diablo 3, particularly when I’m done playing a new one of those. I don’t care that Path of Exile has deeper progression, Wolcen has better graphics, or whatever other quality (or qualities) any new ARPG could claim over Diablo 3. Nothing I’ve played feels as good as Diablo 3. From the moment Diablo Immortal was revealed, I’ve been naively thinking of it as an expansion to Diablo 3 – just one that happens to be on mobile....

As spotted by PCGamesN, players are reporting that they are being left with massive in-game debts after purchasing Eternal Orbs, one of the primary currencies in Diablo Immortal, through third-party websites. These orbs are being supposedly revoked by Blizzard, likely due to the fact that orbs cost real-world money. A number of different posts on Diablo Immortal’s subreddit are making the claim, saying that they own massive amounts of orbs in the game to make up for what they haven’t paid for in game....

Red Dead Redemption 2 is full of tiny details that many won’t ever notice. Rockstar spent years adding little flourishes that elevate its characters and scenes, and one such detail was only just discovered. Reddit user Bornstellar67 recently realised that when you reload a revolver in the game, Arthur silently counts the bullets as he chambers them. His mouth movement isn’t very descriptive on its own, but in context, you can clearly see it is what he’s doing....

As promised, Dying Light 2 developer Techland technically delivered a development update on Wednesday. The update came in the form of a video where members of the development team read mean tweets calling out its long development period. Unfortunately, if you came to this thing expecting some real news, you’d be very disappointed, because that’s really it. Techland said it’ll be ready to talk about the game “very soon”, and flashed a 2021 splash target in the video, seemingly suggesting the game would actually be released this year....

Techland has announced that the open world survival horror game will be playable on Nintendo’s versatile little handheld/home console thanks to the power of the cloud. Techland’s upcoming title joins the likes of Guardians of the Galaxy, Hitman 3, Control and Resident Evil 7 – all of which have been playable on the console thanks to the streaming power of the cloud. If you’re unsure whether or not your internet connection will be robust enough to stream the game, there’s a handy note on the Nintendo store that says you will be able to “download a free launcher application to test the game for a limited amount of time” once the game is released in February 2022....

Some contain collectibles, and others valuable weapons, but you’ll also find inhibitors in quite a few of Villedor’s safes. Here’s where to look. Dying Light 2 safe codes explained The end of the world happened quickly, but the good folk of Villedor still had time to stash their belongings in safes dotted aroudn the city. Some of these include collectibles such as tapes, though others house much more useful items, namely Inhibitors....

Last month, EA announced that it would be collaborating with Omega Force, the Koei Tecmo studio behind the Warriors series, through its EA Originals program to make a game it called “the next great hunting game,” obviously implying it’ll be something like Monster Hunter. That game now has a name - Wild Hearts - and this Wednesday, September 28, 3pm BST, we’ll get a first look at it in its reveal trailer....

But there’s little chance the game is going to skip the PC. What this leak may have cast in doubt, however, is which storefront the new Call of Duty is going to be available for purchase on. Modern Warfare 2 launches October 28, but pre-orders have yet to open up on any platform. In other words, official store pages do not yet exist. So far, so business as usual, except for the fact that the game looks to be coming to Steam....

This particular cave is tricky to find and get to, and it is also riddled with rivers of Scarlet Rot from start to finish. It’s dark, treacherous, and simply not a good time. However, it has got some rather nice loot which is what swayed me to actually complete the dungeon rather than forget it exists altogether. In this guide, we explain how to get to the Abandoned Cave in Elden Ring, how to grab all available loot, and how to beat the Cleanrot Knight dungeon bosses....

Fashion Souls, for those unfamiliar, is a community of fashion-first players who prioritise dapper looks over min-maxing their stats. They typically mix and match gear sets to achieve a certain look, regardless of how poorly this may reflect on their in-game performance. How do you change appearance in Elden Ring? If you’ve messed up in the character creator, or just fancy something fresh, you can change your character appearance in Elden Ring at the Clouded Mirror Stand Dressing Table in Roundtable Hold....

Unlike practically everything else in The Lands Between, these invisible creatures aren’t a threat to you. They are worth seeking out, however, because you’ll obtain some fantastic rewards for your sleuthing. What are the invisible enemies in Elden Ring? The invisible enemies are actually a type of scarab, one the scarab tutorial neglects to mention entirely. There are quite a few of these rolling their invisible dung balls around The Lands Between, usually at least one or two per region....

Currently at number one on the GSD UK digital and physical data charts, the FromSoftware title’s first week sales were more than Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Cyberpunk 2077 (thanks, GI.biz). Digital downloads made up over 68% of sales with PC and Xbox the top platforms. Around 85% of sales on Xbox were downloaded, and on PC it was 73%. PS5 and PS4 made up over 50%.

Apparently, there is an issue where save data is not being saved correctly to the Steam Cloud under certain conditions. According to the company, if this happens, you will see an error message at game launch, stating that your local save files conflict with the ones stored in the Steam Cloud. Should this happen to you, be sure to carefully check the last update date and time of each save....

One such feature that seems to have gone through a few iterations during development is riders and mounting. Across the game’s world, you’ll come across enemies riding horses as well as other creatures. The player can himself do that with Torrent, of course, and the system that governs all of those interactions is the same. Souls modder Zullie the Witch, who digs deeper into FromSoft’s games than anyone else, has uncovered some interesting quirks about the feature....

At the northern edge of town is where you’ll find the lectern outlining what’s required of you. Doing as it asks breaks the seal at the top of the staircase nearby. You enter the evergaol by interacting with the glowing circular relief next to the lectern, but then find yourself in a dark version of Ordina, filled with difficult and invisible enemies, and no idea where to find the four figures....
