But A Plague Tale doesn’t - A Plague Tale goes for the sister-brother bond. It’s the whole central concept to the series: experiencing the brutality of 14th century France through the vulnerability of two children. Well, ‘children’ - one is a teenager, 15-year-old Amicia, and the other is a five-year-old boy, Hugo. The series begins with them on the run after their family is attacked, and they never really stop running until the end of A Plague Tale: Requiem....

But then Idris Elba came along. Starting out in Gran Turismo 7 feels soulless. Waiting for the game to download, tapping a few options on various menus to adjust steering and how the game looks on your TV. All so necessary yet utterly flat. Imagine being a kid tasting Gran Turismo for the first time with…this? A little way in, however, and you can play Music Rally while you wait for the rest to be ready....

Cyno is featured as the boosted 5-Star character in his Twilight Arbiter Banner during Phase 1 of version 3.1, but he will eventually return at some point in the future when the Banner schedule cycles back to him. Whether you have him, or want to prepare for if you do Wish for him successfully, it’s good to know the best Cyno build in Genshin Impact, including his best Artifacts and best team....

After all, making your characters stronger and leveling as many different ones as you can becomes a necessity for every player that would like to enjoy some of the game’s content. By doing so, you can take advantage of multiple combinations of elements in your party to maximize damage. So, this guide covers how you can use Noctilucous Jade in Genshin Impact and where you find Noctilucous Jade nodes. On this page: To harvest them you must break the nodes from which you can get the Noctilucous Jades....

Unlike the Perilous Trail Genshin Impact event which debuted the Fading Twilight bow, there is no weapon reward for taking part, but you can get other items, including Ascension materials and Primogems. We’ve compiled all of the Drumalong Festival rewards and details below, including its unlock requirements and end date.

Categorised under ‘Artefacts’, Faces of Magic is a set of nine collectables you’ll find in several early areas. If you’re interested in help with the main story, our God of War walkthrough and guide can help. Like other Artefacts in the game, they are found off the beaten path and take a keen eye to spot them.

Sony Bravia XR55A80JU from PRC Direct for £899 (was £999) In essence, to grab the A80J from PRC Direct for £899, it’a case of buying the television for the usual £999 price, and then calling PRC Direct, as the website listing description states, selecting option 1 on their phone system. If you then give them your order number so they can confirm your order, you should then be in line to receive the £100 refund to get you the A80J for £899, which looks to honour the Black Friday pricing PRC Direct was doing on this telly just less than a month ago....

343 opened the floodgates to Halo Infinite’s multiplayer, and 12v12 Big Team Battle was the star. Previous tests revolved around 4v4 Slayer, which I thoroughly enjoyed, but it was in Infinite’s bigger map that Halo’s fabled sandbox truly shined. And it’s in BTB that the new tools 343 has added into the mix have the breathing space to create the kind of organised chaos Halo is famous for. Infinite’s grappling hook isn’t a brand new idea for video games, but it’s one of the best new things to hit Halo since 343 took up the reins from series creator Bungie....

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....

Earlier this week, I was granted access to a press demo of Peaky Blinders that allowed me to smoke my way through the first few levels of the game. And I do mean smoke in the literal sense because, as you’ll see in my video, you can spawn and smoke as many virtual cigarettes as you can fit into your lungs. Cough. Just like with Maze Theory’s previous TV tie-in, Doctor Who: The Edge of Time, Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom is a superfan’s dream come true....

Because it has been a while, Eurogamer and EGX’s parent company Reedpop is keen to know what it can do to make the event better - what you’d like to see more of, or less of. Also, if you’re thinking of going, what you might be personally interested in. This information will also help us here at Eurogamer, as we hope to attend EGX for our usual mix of livestreams and panels....

Doom 3 VR Edition The big-name reveal comes in the form of Doom 3 VR Edition which, as its name implies, is a VR-enhanced version of id Software’s 2004 first-person shooter Doom 3. It’ll include new textures and sound effects, alongside the game’s Resurrection of Evil and The Lost Mission expansions, when it launches on 29th March. Fracked Next up is developer nDreams’ Fracked, which sets players loose in a mountain fracking facility overrun by armed inter-dimensional creatures intent on destroying the world....

That’s a delay from its earlier expected release window late in 2021. Tonight during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live broadcast, Guerilla Games said it had needed more time to polish the game, and that it had been impacted by difficulties arising from the pandemic. In other Horizon news, the PS5 version of Horizon Zero Dawn has today been updated with a 60fps mode. This patch has just gone live, and should be available to download now....

The first step is heading to Grim Gables in Fortnite, easy enough. Things get trickier from there, as you’ll first have to locate the Inkquisitor before defeating them. Completing this challenge will get you closer to unlocking some exclusive Halloween-themed goodies. The fight is pretty difficult however, so here’s the best way to get through it. On this page: How to help defeat the Inkquisitor at Grim Gables in Fortnite In order to defeat the Inkquisitor in Fortnite you will first need to find them at Grim Gables....

What surprised me was just how clear the clippers looked - how clear everything looked. It’s vital to the game that this bundle of pixels needs to be recognisable as nail clippers at a single glance. The way the pixel art stays out of the way of the world the story builds and manages to look wonderful made Unpacking such a success. So, how did this mix of aesthetics and realism come about?...

So pervasive is that influence, though, that it can become a bit wearying - which is my excuse for missing Huntdown first time around when it came out last May, its 80s excess getting lost in all those other similarly themed games drowning out the storefronts of the eShop and Steam. For shame, really, as I picked it up a few months later and realised Huntdown stands apart from others of its ilk, partly thanks to how it leans into all that excess while delivering a brilliantly taut action game at the same time....

Clayton Hutton was 20 at the time, a self-confident, ingenious, and perhaps rather eccentric young man working at his uncle’s lumber yard in Saltley in the West Midlands. He loved games and showmanship and magic, but he was also somewhat sceptical by nature - possessed of an engineering mentality that sought to understand how things worked and to separate the possible from the impossible. He’d seen Houdini perform an escape act in Birmingham several years previously, and he was struck that the packing crate the magician triumphantly broke free of at the climax of the evening had been in his possession for two whole days before the show....

We’ve been working on refining the show since we debuted a couple of weeks ago, and you can catch the first two episodes here and here. The ‘cast’ of DF team members involved in the show rotates on a week by week basis, and I’m joined this week by Crysis connoisseur and PC specialist Alex Battaglia along with hardware man and @DealsFoundry mastermind, Will Judd. Topics on the slate include the latest batch of FPS Boost titles, thoughts on Sony’s direction with PSVR2, the mixed reaction to the Radeon RX 6700 XT, plus the challenge facing Intel with its upcoming Rocket Lake CPU launch....
