I've had it. YAPYAP has pushed me over the edge. Friendslop is running rampant in the indie horror sphere, spreading with no sign of stopping. I was never one to jump on the friendslop bandwagon or refer to games of its kind in this derogatory way, but there's been a recent and quite drastic shift in indie horror games that I can no longer ignore. And sadly, it's thanks to Lethal Company . A fan of horror games since adolescence, I started paying attention to the indie side because of PewDiePie's Amnesia: The Dark Descent Let's Play. Oh, things were far simpler back in 2010. Amnesia was just the start, Five Nights at Freddy's followed, and many have since come and gone, but the virality of a game has grown more and more important in recent years. Screenshot via Steam Released back in October 2023, Lethal Company paved the way for many to come as a delightful and highly entertaining co-op title that was both as creepy as it was hilarious. It soared to ...

Nioh 3 is just around the corner, but since it's the third game in a long-running series, some might be deterred by the fact that they haven't completed the first two. So, if you were one of those (as was I up until recently), here's everything you should know. Do you have to beat Nioh 1 and 2 before Nioh 3? Screenshot by Destructoid Nioh 3 , like Nioh 2 , does not require any foreknowledge of the series if you want to hop right into the newest one. All three games, though interconnected by lore and story, take place in separate locations and follow separate characters ( Nioh 1 follows an actual historical figure, William Adams, a British explorer and the first Englishman in Japan, while the next two games have custom characters ). It would be a great experience to witness the evolution of the series starting from the first title, though there is nothing wrong with picking the franchise up at any point you see fit. What will be a bit difficult is returning to ol...

Sony's PlayStation 2 has long reigned as the best-selling video game console of all time. PS4, despite its massive sales success, is trailing its older sibling by roughly 40 million units.

There are quite a few sidearms in Destiny 2 , and with Renegades , Evening SI4 has joined the list of target sidearms. It has access to a few elemental keywords in its god roll, with a little damage on the side. This burst-fire Omolon sidearm has one special trick up its sleeve: the Accelerated Assault origin trait from Renegades , which can roll randomly in weapons from the Portal. This is the game-changer, but the weapon still works just fine without it—as fine as a primary weapon can in the Renegades sandbox, anyway. Here are our god rolls for Evening SI4 in Destiny 2 , based on data from d2foundry.gg . Evening SI4 PvE god rolls in Destiny 2 Banshee-44 swears that one's in mint condition.

Grip is arguably the most important attribute in Cairn as it determines how easy or hard your climb will be. Extra grip is an additional boost that you can apply during your climb. Ideally, you would want to use the boost while climbing the harder mountains. Unlike almost all other boosts in Cairn , extra grip isn't obtained from food. This guide will explain everything you need to know. Table of contents How does extra grip work in Cairn How to use chalk in Cairn How does extra grip work in Cairn Extra grip determines how many difficult grabs Aava can make before she slips. The boost allows Aava to hold on to surfaces that are usually not grabbable. This can be immensely beneficial as that extra layer of grip will prevent her from falling down. Moreover, extra grip only works with her hands. Your feet play no role, and you'll need to balance Aava's lower limbs carefully. To use extra grip on your climb, you'll need chalk.
