Today was developer Techland’s final episode of Dying 2 Know, a video series all about showing off the impressive-looking Dying Light 2 Stay Human. The first episode landed in May last year. Since then, Techland has been peeling back the layers, introducing fans to the game’s story, world, and much more. This final episode, however, is special, as it finally lifted the veil on the mode that has many excited. Dying Light 2 includes a four-player co-op mode, and the final episode today has shown off some footage....

Like a magician’s best illusion, the hopes predicated on Christopher Nolan’s Tenet resuscitating the moviegoing experience are vanishing all around us. And adding suspense to this grim trick is a new report from Eric Handler, a leading exhibition industry analyst with MKM Partners. According to Handler, there is a “low likelihood” that Tenet keeps its scheduled Aug. 12 release date, particularly in the wake of rising rates of infection in states across the U....

I’m so jaded by the current state of the movie industry that seeing Tetris: The Movie pop up brought to mind some very specific things. Namely, Tetrominos with mouths and eyes, plotting to come together to finally free themselves from the hateful burden of existence. A race against the clock for colorful geometry to dramatically hurl itself into a pit in the hopes of no longer having to stare into the mirror as their features decay....

Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds, a smartphone MMO version of the beloved Studio Ghibli/Level-5 RPG series, is now available globally. But since its worldwide release, the game’s deep links to cryptocurrency and upcoming plans for NFTs have come under the spotlight (thanks, Kotaku). Players can earn Territe, a currency which can then be exchanged for “Territe Tokens”, in game from monster battling, completing various daily missions and other grinding mechanics....

Few games offer as great of a challenge and a sense of adventure as Divinity: Original Sin 2. Anyone with a taste for great RPGs and real Dungeons & Dragons-style combat will appreciate this turn-based medieval fantasy adventure in the world of Rivellon. However, while the story’s great and the game looks fantastic, the boss battles are a bit frustrating at times. From demonic creatures that seem over-powered to monsters who can resurrect themselves, few will play through the game without feeling annoyed at least once....

Video games have come a long way in creating characters that players can truly get attached to beyond just participating in the adventures unfolding before them. With the myriad of ways a story can be told through the media of video games today, good characters are still the most important factor. Sometimes games severely miss the mark though. And over the last decade, there have been some really bad characters. Whether they’re badly written, poorly portrayed or poorly implemented into their respective universe....

Racing games can be a lot of fun as you compete against friends or the computer to place first, beat an old time, or to simply survive long enough to reach the finish line. But the simple premise of having players race to the end requires a lot of moving parts to make it a fun and interesting game. The following games were ones that failed this task according to Metacritic....

There’s no getting away from the fact that the gaming industry can be a darn shonky place at times. By definition, video games are supposed to be about having fun, but we’ve long forgotten that. There’s more drama going on in this industry than there was between Eminem and his mama back in the 90s. The same old topics are rehashed again and again. What is a ‘true’ gamer? Where do you draw the line between casual and hardcore?...

We live in a world where remakes are so commonplace, that the mere mention of them is sure to illicit an eye roll from even the most avid of cinephiles. But the funny thing is, this wasn’t always the case. In fact, remakes, requels, and retoolings were largely a pretty rare occurrence in the ’80s, ’90s, and ’00s. Still, there were a few that bucked that trend and one in particular from the early noughties celebrates its 20th anniversary today....

Key Points When choosing the best drone for travel, there are several factors to consider, including size, weight, battery life, and price, among others. The DJI Mavic Mini 2 was voted the best overall compact drone for travel. If budget is a concern, the Holy Stone HS720 may be for you. Drones are quickly becoming one of the best ways to capture the fun and exciting images from high above the ground, allowing you to see things from perspectives you may never have seen....

This review contains spoilers. “When the shit hits the fan, we show up.” Some series finales tend to take a more humble and understated approach as they go gently into the night. The Affair series finale is a final instalment that’s big in as many ways as possible. Not only is this a 90-minute offering, but it begins in a grandiose way with a quote from Richard Wilbur’s poem, “The Writer“....

The arrival of Call of Duty: Vanguard has seen the roll out of a lot of content across all modes, and we are only in the pre-season stage. In multiplayer, you can now use up to ten attachments on your weapons. You can keep unlocking the various attachments available as you level up your gun. The NZ-41 is perhaps the most underrated assault rifle in multiplayer. Once you make the most of all ten attachment slots, you can build an NZ-41 class that shows the lobby just how strong the weapon can be in Vanguard....

It’s Friday! Or is it? Time is a social construct, so I could tell you it’s Wednesday today, and how could you prove me wrong? It’s Friday because it’s the fifth day this week, but when did this week start? Can’t prove that either, I’m afraid. Well, the calendar in the bottom right corner of the monitor says it’s Friday. Who told the computer that it’s Friday? Anyone could change that display in the settings....

The Binding of Isaac Rebirth is a classic rogue-like game with bullet hell elements. The gameplay is solid, and the story bizarre and deeply depressing. With multiple add-ons and expansions, it’s become a large game that requires a great level of skill and tact to beat. Even more stunning is the level of replayability with multiple character and item unlocks that, when combined with procedurally generated levels, enemies, and even randomized bosses, makes no two games the same....

The Crew 2 released nearly five years ago now, and after a hint earlier in the week we now know to expect a sequel to the popular Ubisoft racing game soon. The sequel appears to be dropping the numbered naming convention followed by previous titles and is opting for a new name: The Crew Motorfest. The first trailer for the Crew Motorfest just dropped, which we will link in down below, but here is when we can expect the game to release: The Crew Motorfest Release Date In the trailer we saw new cars, new tracks and what looked to be a festival of racing taking place in sunny Hawaii....

For anyone who has enjoyed God of War in 2018, the realm of Muspelheim was home to some of the more enjoyable combat encounters thanks to the Surtr trials. In God of War Ragnarok, we will once again return to the fiery realm to test our mettle, and if you are wondering just how to complete The Crucible Favor in God of War Ragnarok, here is everything you’ll need to know....

Today Square Enix released a playable demo of its upcoming tactics JRPG The DioField Chronicle. The demo includes the full first chapter of the game, which is a quite large chunk of gameplay. It’s releasing today for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Even more interestingly, everything you earn in the demo including story progress and character progression will transfer to the final game Basically, it’s a convenient way to start playing the game earlier and pick it back up when it launches....

Over the past few months, Epic Games has made no secret of its desire to supplant Steam as the go-to platform for PC gaming. The company has built its own launcher and purchased other developers outright while signing deals to bring new releases exclusively to the Epic Games Store. Now, after a Fortnite notification seemingly appeared earlier than intended, an Epic Games Store Megasale has been confirmed to be on the horizon....

Bethesda has announced that it’s teaming up with Loot Crate to bring us a bi-monthly Fallout Crate. The first crate will feature exclusive Fallout companion figures and each crate will come with pieces that‘ll help you create your very own power armour set. Sadly this is a toy-sized suit, and not an actual suit humans can wear. The Fallout Crate won’t be a monthly deal like other Loot Crate subscriptions, instead it’ll be a bi-monthly package of post-nuclear-apocalypse goodness....

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. For much of the past three decades, Nicolas Cage has commanded a level of devotion among fans that borders on religious fervour. While the quality and quantity of his projects has varied wildly, his intense method acting approach – one he describes as “Nouveau Shamadic” – has resulted in some intense and brilliantly manic performances, earning him God-like status among a certain demographic of movie fans....
