So why did I do I bother then? You might be thinking. Well, simply put, I absolutely loved the look and the feel of Tango Gameworks’ version of Shibuya. The way the rain soaked streets reflect the neon signs is mesmerising to me. The gloriously detailed environments makes it feel like you really are in a real, living city in the moments after its inhabitants were spooky-raptured. It’s such a beautiful space to inhabit and as a bit of a Japanophile who recently spent his honeymoon wandering around parts of Shibuya that feature in the game, playing Ghostwire: Tokyo is also a great way to soak up the vibe of the city and indulge in some memories of my trip....

Some of these we knew already - specifically, the “Favour Resolution” and “Favour Performance” settings on PS5 which you can then modify further by applying the separate High Frame Rate (HFR) Mode. Today, Sony has now detailed the potential for VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) to modify these settings even further, and also detailed the various specs you can expect across both PS4 and PS4 Pro. Phew! As previously detailed, your main options on PS5 are Favour Performance (a variable resolution with a 60FPS target) or Favour Quality (a native 2160p 4K resolution with a 30FPS target)....

Valkyries are eight bosses - and one final boss - that are amongst the game’s most challenging fights, and as such, are best left until the end game. If you’re interested in help with the main story, our God of War walkthrough and guide can help. On this page: As such, we highly recommend coming back in the end game, when you have better armour (level 6 is recommended), a strong array of abilities and a Resurrection Stone....

Kioxia Exceria 1TB M.2 SSD for £54.99 from AWD-IT (was £59.99) Usually, these discounted SSDs are able to hit their low price points because they use the cheapest available flash memory, QLC NAND, and leave out a DRAM cache. These sorts of drives are still great for media and game storage, but tend to suffer in terms of longevity and sustained write performance. This Exceria drive, on the other hand, offers TLC NAND and comes with a DRAM cache....

The standard Viper from Razer is one of the best gaming mice I’ve tested in the past (especially in its 8K form), and so too is the Viper Mini - with it, you’re getting an ultra lightweight 61g frame and a mouse that’s considerably smaller in stature than its full-size brother that should be great for those with smaller to mid-size hands. It’s also marketed as an ambidextrous mouse, so can be used by right handers and lefties alike, although the side buttons are only on the left side....

Rockstar, perhaps being one of the pioneers of the live-service model, have of course a new update ready for Grand Theft Auto online. First up, we have “The Gooch,” which pays homage to none other than The Grinch. “Crime certainly spikes around the holidays: everyone’s flush with gifted cash, after all. So, beware of The Gooch, a nefarious opportunist now roaming the streets and lurking in the shadows, looking to empty the pockets of unsuspecting players while causing grievous bodily harm....

Ahead of the BAFTA video game awards last night, I sat down with members of the Guardians of the Galaxy team to discuss the game’s emotional storytelling, where the series could go next - and some unexpected tussles with racoons. But first, the issue of those sales - on which, the team said it had “no regrets”. “I think it’s a great ride. It’s emotional. It has a lot of qualities,” said Guardians of the Galaxy senior creative director Jean-Francois Dugas....

Before tackling the various visual and performance issues we encountered, it’s worth talking about overall game stability: I didn’t notice many bugs this time around. Most of the collision issues and problems with missions seem to have been resolved, as evidenced by granular level of detail in the patch notes. I did spot a couple of issues though - one cutscene that froze in place, and geometry that refused to draw in, but overall stability through the run of play is clearly much improved....

Heardle is a music game inspired by Wordle - where instead of guessing a word, you hear the opening of a song, with each failed guess extending the preview to help you solve the title and artist in question. If you fail to guess once you have heard the complete preview, then you’ll break your streak - which is why discovering today’s Heardle answer is so important for players, especially as some song intros are more elusive than others....

In our Witchwood guide you’ll find an overview of every aspect of the new expansion, from the cards themselves to the evolution of the single-player content that first made its debut in last year’s Kobolds and Catacombs expansion. Our colleagues at sister-site Metabomb are busy preparing decks and deck guides for the launch window and beyond. We’ll add them in here as soon as they’re ready, so you can get stuck straight into the latest creations for the new Hearthstone meta....

Season Two, which launches on 25th February, adds four new operators, six new weapons, the new (and leaked) Zombies experience dubbed Outbreak, four multiplayer maps, new multiplayer modes, new prestige levels and new Warzone points of interest. The Season Two trailer is below: The four new operators are Naga (Warsaw Pact), who is available launch week, Samantha Maxis (NATO), who arrives in season, Terrell Wolf (NATO), also in season, and Karla Rivas (NATO)....

In anticipation of this release, we now finally have our first look at some gameplay, including seeing weapons such as the series’ plasma cutter in action. Oh, yes, and there are also lots of gloriously detailed mutated human corpses littering the scene. Godspeed to you Isaac Clark! You can see this new trailer for yourself below. This remake is going to be a ground-up reworking of Visceral Games’ much-loved 2008 original....

Although there’s no release window detailed just yet, we do know we’ll get a brand new map - the first in three years - as well as a new permanent Team Deathmatch mode and new Japanese Operator, Azami. “In Demon Veil, uncover the secrets of Azami, an enigmatic new Defender - equipped with the Kiba Barrier gadget, her throwable canisters deploy an expandable material that solidifies into a bulletproof surface, providing fast cover,” Ubisoft teases....

That said, the team’s keen for you to know that “everything we’re sharing today along with any mentioned timelines are all subject to change” as “game development can be a finicky thing and priorities can change based on issues that arise and feedback”. Oh, and it’s still keeping back a surprise or two, too. As for what’s coming up? Though succinct, the roadmap divides its plans into the categories “world”, “ingame”, and “outgame”....

Any player can Power Shot, and there are even a few Moments in FUT that require you to perform one, like the ‘Power Shots’ and ‘First Professional Contract’ challenges, so we’ll detail everything about how to do a Power Shot in FIFA 23 below, including some helpful tips to make the most out of using the skill. For your other FUT needs, we’ve got pages on how the new Chemistry system works, Squad Battles, FUT Coins, and best FUT starter teams....

Legendaries rarely make an appearance in the wild in Pokémon Go - they usually debut in raids, with Lake Guardians Uxie, Mesprit or Azelf being a notable exception - and all three can appear when using the Daily Adventure Incense feature. Be warned - not only are all three rare spawns, but are all incredibly hard to catch. Best of luck with your hunt! On this page: How to get Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres in Pokémon Go Finding Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres in Pokémon Go is quite simple in principle - you have to use the Daily Adventure Incense, a feature which sees additional Pokémon spawn outside of the current season or event specific pool of creatures....

Feeding a Slime their favourite foods will produce more of their Plorts, which you can then use to fabricate new items and abilities, or sell at the Plort Market for Newbucks. There’s even Gordo Slimes that you must feed their preferred food in order to force them to explode and stop blocking a path or doorway. You can’t get to Moondew Nectar until you jump through a few hoops first, however, and even when you do locate Nectar, you need to go at the right time in order to actually add it to your inventory....

These games are Pokémon Sword and Shield and you simply need to have created a save file on your Nintendo Switch to start working towards these rewards.

However, unlike other Sonic Frontiers stages which can be easily accessed on foot, stage 1-7 is on an island to the south of the landmass and seemingly inaccessible. There is a small puzzle involved in reaching them - which not only allows you to reach stage 1-7, but several other items at the same time. How to reach stage 1-7 in Sonic Frontiers As you explore and unlock challenges, you gradually begin to unlock more of the map....
