Remember that five years ago, many of us were finally transitioning out of the COVID-19 lockdown? We were learning again how to talk to each other outside laggy Zoom calls with the resolution of a 2009 webcam—and enjoyed some really great games, too. While we had industry-defining hits like Hades and Forza Horizon 5 , many other games that didn't have such a huge impact became so relevant that they are still worth playing after five years of new game releases with flashier graphics and new mechanics. And we'd better start getting used to playing older games. The artificial intelligence apocalypse leading to RAM shortages and rising computer costs (via IDC ) has been so relentless that I believe most of us will soon be unable to afford a PC upgrade. Doomspeak aside, I've played this list of new games and new editions released in 2021 and can attest that they're timeless and absolutely worth playing today. And if you don't take my word for it, their latest Steam ...

Surviving on Arcadia-7 is no easy feat, and to do so, you're going to expand the size of your StarRupture inventory and storage as quickly as possible. StarRupture treats inventory and storage spaces as separate entities. Inventory represents the number of items you can carry with you, while storage is where you store stuff in your base. Thankfully, you can increase the capacity of both items with the correct resources. Table of contents How to increase inventory size in StarRupture How to increase storage space in StarRupture How to increase inventory size in StarRupture The key to increasing inventory size in StarRupture is to raise your levels with the different available corporations.

Ores are the backbone of constructions in StarRupture , and there are different types of them available on Arcadia-7. You're introduced to ore pretty early in the game as part of the guided tutorial.

ARC Raiders , as a PVPVE game, attracts loads of different players, both those who love engaging with robots and those who are more keen on human blood. In such an environment, a lot has to be taken into account for the sake of matchmaking, as you'd want hardcore players to meet their kind more so than those of a casual demeanor. But does ARC Raiders truly have an aggression-based matchmaking system, analyzing your behavior whenever you queue up? Here's everything we know. ARC Raiders' aggression-based matchmaking, explained Do not kill everything you see, folks. Image via Embark Studios Embark Studios has been generally unwilling to give out too much information regarding how it matches players, and does not even provide official numbers for how many players can connect to a single match at a time. This makes sense as it obscures the system, thereby reducing the odds of players manipulating it for their own gain. However, ARC Raiders devs did recently comment t...

For the first time in seven years, a new mystery has been discovered in Red Dead Redemption 2 . Full of all sorts of threads to be followed, RDR2 players worked diligently over these past seven years to uncover everything it hid in its vast world, but one seems to have been missed. As per Synth Potato on X , this newly-discovered mystery, which the players are working around the clock to solve, had to do with a certain telegraph pole. Located near Dewberry Creek, the pole had a spider symbol etched on it, which, when transposed over the full RDR2 map, illustrates branching paths that lead to eight other poles around the game. Every pole had that same spider symbol and a feather attached to them that can be taken off with a well-placed shot. As Synth Potato explains, there also appeared to be a web-covered tree in the middle of the transposed symbol, indicating that players should go North and find more poles. Further inquisitions showed more directions like NW and S, leading play...

Over the past few months, I've crafted my fair share of builds in ARC Raiders —from loot-oriented quick and nimble loadouts to fully stacked, armored, and heavily armed PVP ones. But where I have faltered are the skills, specifically by not investing heavily in the Traveling Tinkerer perk. Field crafting seemed quite interesting to me from the first time I saw it, and I even ended up including it in my initial skill tree guide back when the game first released. What I failed to take into account was how useful the second field crafting perk was, i.e., how invaluable Traveling Tinkerer is. It's located a bit further into the Survival skill tree and builds on top of the field crafting perk that enables making items on the go. Proper skills make a huge difference in ARC Raiders . Image via Embark Studios One particular item that gives you the ability to craft mid-match is  Raider Hatch Keys , which are perhaps the most valuable pieces of loot in the entire game. Extractin...

My Winter Car is steadily attracting new players in the holiday season, and we already have a fair amount of mods to try out. Available via NexusMods, the mods will allow you to go beyond the base vanilla experience. Some of them are mere add-ons and enhancements of features that are already live inside the game.
