The developer behind PsiloSybil describes it as “the most ruthless indie linear 3D platformer ever made,” and after spending an hour dying nearly 100 times in the opening stages that make up the game’s demo, I’m convinced they’re probably right.PsiloSybil is heavily inspired by Crash Bandicoot – if the tunnel-like stage design and PS1 aesthetics didn’t give it away, the opening cutscene’s references to “Aussie Rat” and the Crash-coded “marsupial” skin for the main character probably will. The game’s gorgeous in its psychedelic ’90s way, complete with wonky textures and a perfect recreation of analog video signals – which is, of course, optional if you hate fun.The game’s been in early access for some time and has developed a solid fandom over that time – more than 100 90% positive Steam reviews is nothing to sneeze at for a game of this scope. Alongside the 1.0 release, developer bad_vertex tweeted that this is “the most ruthless indie linear 3D platformer ever made,” and while you might think that’s hyperbole it seems the branding is well-earned.

Knowing how to start the Vessel of Hatred expansion in Diablo 4 means you can get straight into the new content, and there’s plenty to discover as you explore the fresh location of Nahantu while getting to grips with the brand new character class. However, you can’t just start up Diablo 4 and jump straight into it, as the seasonal progress system means you need to activate the correct campaign, and if you overlook the option then you could find yourself repeating the base storyline all over again. To avoid that situation, here’s how to start the Vessel of Hatred campaign in Diablo 4.How to start Vessel of Hatred in Diablo 4 More Diablo 4 guidesDiablo 4 Realmwalkers

Diablo 4 PetsAs with the start of previous seasons, you’ll need to create a fresh seasonal character before you can access any new content. When you reach the last stage of the character creator, you’ll see a Change Campaign State button towards the top left of the screen. This will initially be set to “Start with the original campaign”, but if you hit that button you can change it to “Start with the Vessel of Hatred campaign” to get straight into the …

Silent Hill 2’s remake is out now for those who paid for early access, and players slightly more nervous about the whole going into a foggy, creepy town thing might accidentally stumble across a fun bonus achievement right at the start of the horror game.As reported by Automaton, it turns out that in the remake, players can attempt to turn away from the foreboding setting altogether, and make protagonist James Sunderland walk back up the road in a desperate attempt to leave before he’s faced with the horrors within. Unfortunately, there’s no Far Cry 4-style secret ending that lets you roll credits within the opening minutes of the game, as you’ll just be greeted by an invisible wall to halt your escape. That doesn’t mean you’re not rewarded for trying, though.Reaching this point of no return will give you a shiny achievement called “No Turning Back Now” – just to rub it in for anyone feeling particularly scared of what’s to come that they’re in it for the long haul (unless they just turn the game off, of course). So, if you’re trying to collect every achievement or trophy possible, make sure you’re not too quick to rush into the action, and get that little bit of backtracking…

The Silent Hill 2 Remake Chained Box looks daunting with locks, codes, combinations and keys all need to to get it open. There’s an array of different puzzles and while no one lock is that hard, it all adds up into a lengthy section of challenges and things to work out. Each part of this test can be found and dealt with by following one of the three chains leading away from it – what you pick first, or what order to choose, however, is entirely up to in Silent Hill 2 Remake.Silent Hill 2 Remake chained box solution The Silent Hill 2 Remake Chained Box appears after you’ve cleared the Silent Hill 2 Remake Director’s Office Safe, reached the roof and had a run in with Laura and the Flesh Lip boss fight. There are three locks on the Chained Box to deal with – a combination cylinder lock, a key, and a keypad code – which can all be opened by following one of the chains leading away from the box, which will lead to different puzzle to solve for each.  You’ll need to find two codes and a key to get the box open by completing these puzzles:The Silent Hill 2 Remake cylinder lock code involves a puzzle that will get you the code 1622, taken from a room at the end of the chain yo…

Super Earth’s finest have done it again, and Helldivers 2 players are one step closer to getting their massive new space station, despite feeling rather worn out by the bots blocking their way. Right now in Helldivers 2, Super Earth is working on the all-new Democracy Space Station (DSS for short), which is said to be a “a powerful strategic tool for reshaping the Galactic Map.” Things kicked off last month with a Major Order to liberate bot planet Clasa or Gaellivare, and after doing so, efforts shifted to the bug front in Turing to help the Ministry of Science do their thing and build a new Xenoentomology Center. This bug-shaped break was brief, though, as the next stage of DSS’s construction brought everyone back to the doorstep of the Automatons on Claorell, in order to liberate the planet and its deep-mantle mining complex from the grasp of the bots.To the credit of the Helldivers, all of these efforts have been going extremely well so far – just a few hours ago, Claorell was liberated, and as a result, a new alloy that can enable the DSS to handle FLT jumps through space can be crafted. What a win! Except right now, it seems that the community’s biggest win is simp…

NHL sliders maintain a little-known modern tradition in EA sports games. By inputting specific parameters in the settings menu, you can tailor the NHL 25 experience to your liking – making it more difficult, or more realistic, or both. That’s what we’re aiming to do here. The numbers below should increase the challenge found within EA’s new ice hockey sim, and bolster authenticity too. All is explained in your NHL 25 sliders guide.How to input NHL 25 sliders You’ll know how this works if you’ve sampled our guides to Madden 25 sliders and College Football 25 sliders. All you need in terms of applying NHL 25 sliders is found in the settings menus. Jump into the game, then scroll down to the small Settings square on the left of the screen. The two key tabs are Game Settings and Gameplay Sliders. Go into these, then match the headings on the list below to each respective entry. Be sure to press R3 once you’re done, in order to save these sliders as a preset.If no value is listed here than leave that slider at the default level. Once you’ve made the necessary changes, play a few exhibition games to test out the new feel of the game. In th…

Ghost of Yotei was revealed during last night’s PlayStation State of Play event as the sequel to the 2020 action-adventure hit Ghost of Tsushima – and it turns out its title may have more significant historical implications than initially meet the eye.As reported by Automaton, a Japanese scholar of Ainu culture and language has pointed out as much. Speaking on the title “Ghost of Yotei,” Itsuji Tangiku explains that the inclusion of “Yotei” is likely an intentional inaccuracy. “The fact that Ghost of Yotei is set in Hokkaido, Japan in 1603 is amazing,” he writes in his thread on the matter. “It encompasses the meaning of ‘ghost’ in many ways. It has to be intentional.”Tangiku describes how Mount Yotei, the inactive stratovolcano behind the Ghost of Tsushima sequel’s title, had a different name in 1603. The Ainu people originally dubbed the mountain “Machineshiri.” During the Meiji period between 1868 and 1912, it was instead called Mount Shiribeshi. It wasn’t until later that people then derived “Yotei” from “Shiribeshi,” meaning that its appearance in Ghost of Yotei’s title is anachronistic.製作発表が出た『ゴース&#1…

Ghost of Yotei, the sequel to 2020’s samurai open-world game Ghost of Tsushima is doing what every good sequel should: giving the main character a gun. Announced at the PlayStation State of Play this week, Ghost of Yotei sets out to tell the tale of new female protagonist Atsu’s journey in 1603 – more than 300 years after the events of Tsushima. Of course, with sequels comes iteration on gameplay mechanics, and what better way to do that than by introducing firearms into the mix. According to The New York Times, players will “be able to master firearms in addition to melee weapons like the katana,” which sounds like it could be the type of escalation an open-world samurai game could use to spice things up. Keeping things from feeling repetitive is something creative director Jason Connell is acutely aware of.As Connell tells the New York Times, “One challenge that comes with making an open-world game is the repetitive nature of doing the same thing over and over.” He continues on, “We wanted to balance against that and find unique experiences.” I’d say giving players the option to bust down the door with some new weaponry is one way to combat this problem, but it re…
