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…

The Silent Hill 2 Remake surgical chair and dummy puzzle, is a fetch quest that gives you the Lapis Eye Key for the Hospital chained box with three locks. There’s nothing to work out here beyond following the chain, using the Instrument of Force and Key of Bliss (hammer and lobotomy spike), to get what you need, and then backtracking to where you started. Even with the chain to follow, it can be easy to get lost, as sometimes you have to take a different path to stay with it, and the corridors of otherworld Brookhaven Hospital are treacherously convoluted – so even without the monsters to fight it can be easy to get turned around. Silent Hill 2 Remake surgical chair and dummy walkthough You’ll reach the surgical chair and hospital dummy in Silent Hill 2 by following the middle chain of the Silent Hill 2 Remake Chained box to the exam room you can see on the map above. Here you’ll find a dummy in the chair shielding its face. Using the Instrument of Force (hammer) you can break away the first arm, and then twist the second away to reveal the eye.  At this point in Silent Hill 2 Remake, you’ll have to follow the chain again through a breakable wall where you’ll find …

The short Destiny 2 Encoded Log quest is very simple but only if you know where the Well of Echoes is on Nessus and how to get there, as the path isn’t clear on the map. Although, once you’ve made it there, you’ve just got to complete some simple objectives to unlock a secret Destiny 2 area where you unlock the Enigma Protocol activity, taking you into the VexNet to disrupt their operations against the clock. Below, I’ve explained exactly how to get to the Well of Echoes in Destiny 2 and complete the Encoded Log quest quickly.Destiny 2 Encoded Log quest walkthrough Destiny 2 guidesDestiny 2 Planetary Assimilation Pistons

All Destiny 2 Prismatic FragmentsThe Encoded Log quest from HELM Failsafe tasks you with investigating the Well of Echoes area on Nessus for a possible source of VexNet integration. That means your first job is to get to the Well of Echoes, then you need to kill a Minotaur boss to uncover a new area that allows you to breach the VexNet. Firstly, head to the Tangle region on Nessus (the closest fast travel landing zone is in Artifact’s Edge) then here’s what to do after that:Head to the so…

The Silent Hill 2 Remake electric chair generator puzzle is a macabre conundrum where James has to get access to the Death Chamber from the Witness Room – and the only way to do that is to turn on the electric chair itself. To do so, you need to power up the generator from the control panel outside, and that means deducing the right combination and pattern of switches so that the power is high enough to activate the chair, but not so high that the whole thing overloads. There’s a specific sequence at play here that we’ll explain below, so you can solve the grizzly electric chair puzzle in Silent Hill 2 and set that generator humming.How to turn on the electric chair generator in Silent Hill 2 The electric chair generator puzzle in the Silent Hill 2 Remake is solved by the control panel next to the door that links the Death Chamber and the Witness Room. With six generator switches and a main lever, the goal is to turn them on in the right order that the power reaches the red, as seen above, and like the Silent Hill 2 Remake Bug Room code before, there’s a bit of deduction involved here. To solve it, hit the switches in the following sequence.43613251232Main LeverMore Silent Hill 2 …

The verdict is in, and Metaphor: ReFantazio is, to the delight of Persona and Shin Megami Tensei fans everywhere, a certified banger.Critic reviews for the new JRPG by Studio Zero (directed by Persona 3, 4, and 5 mastermind Katsura Hashino) went live today, and they’re overwhelmingly positive. At the time of writing, the game has an average Metacritic score of 94, which isn’t just enough to beat the rating of Persona 5 (the original, that is, not Royal), but to match Astro Bot, which up to this point has been the highest scoring game of the year. If we’re counting all new releases, Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is also sharing that top spot with a score of 94.In GamesRadar+’s own Metaphor: ReFantazio review, I gave the game four and a half stars out of five, and praised its phenomenal story, art direction, and balance of dungeon exploration and social sim elements. It’s a whopper of a game – one that took me around 87 hours to complete – but is well and truly worth any JRPG fan’s time, even if the opening acts feel like they take a while to get going in comparison to the slightly later events.The great news is that for anyone wanting to get a head start on that…

It’s been – deep breath, please – 14 years since StarCraft 2 launched. Ouch. Though my brain has finally stopped thinking that 2010 was just a few years ago, this one stings. I was never particularly good at StarCraft – truth be told, online RTS matches stress me out like nothing else – but Wings of Liberty’s campaign hooked me from the first mission. It was my stepping stone from playing the likes of Halo Wars and Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth 2 alone, to trying out multiplayer and learning phrases like Zerg rush and APM against my will. I have fond (if painful memories) of trying to master all three of StarCraft 2’s factions at once, throwing myself into the zerg’s trial-by-fire horde playstyle and, once that felt too hard, dropping it to learn Protos’ quality over quantity tactics. I never quite clicked with either – it was the safe, reliable Terrans I did best with – but it was the first and only time I’ve been so driven to compete in a strategy game. Even 14 years later, I’m yet to find another RTS that has grabbed me in the same ways StarCraft did. So when it was recently reported that a StarCraft shooter was in the w…

FromSoftware spent years making its biggest game world ever in Elden Ring’s Lands Between, and now one fan of this massive open-world RPG spent roughly 500 hours making a tinier, still-massive, low-poly version of it. And man, it is cool. Reddit user and Github creator Honzaap shared their creation with the Elden Ring subreddit over the weekend, and it quickly caught fire among the community. Intrigued by the scale of this thing, flummoxed by their claim that it took 500 hours to make, and oddly nostalgic for a similar “Tiny Elden Ring” previously shared on Sketchfab by Konstantin Chemelev, I reached out to Honzaap to talk through this tiny giant. Before that, you can tour the low-poly Lands Between for yourself here. Toggle the camera in the bottom right to get up close and personal. The Lands Between made in low-poly style from r/EldenringI was delighted to learn that I was right on the money: Honzaap says they were inspired by Chemelev’s Tiny Elden Ring to begin with. “I just had to see what it would look like with the whole map,” they tell GamesRadar+.”I will admit that Konstantin’s model looks much better, I am not that great with low-poly style.” “I though…

It’s not every day that I feel compelled to ask a hardcore Destiny 2 raider about their mom, but I simply had to after venerable challenge runner TheSnazzzyRock recently made history with the first solo flawless clear of the Deep Stone Crypt raid and, while understandably attacking his mic in celebration afterward, immediately declared that, “I need to call my mom right now.” His mom, you’ll surely be delighted to learn, “was so happy to hear that I completed this,” Snazzzy tells me.

You may know Snazzzy as the first Destiny 2 player to solo raid bosses like Root of Nightmares’ Nezarec or encounters like the Vault of Glass Gatekeepers, once thought to be undoable alone. The unshakable Guardian has been low-manning and outright soloing six-player encounters for ages, and this Deep Stone Crypt solo flawless could be his crowning achievement. “So many things in [DSC final boss fight] Taniks to deal with,” he tells GamesRadar+. “Hands down the hardest solo encounter in this game, with solo flawless DSC being the hardest Destiny solo challenge to EVER be done in all of Destiny history including Destin…

Metaphor: ReFantazio’s UI design has looked absolutely stunning from the jump, and that menu design has been impressive even by the lofty standards of the veteran Persona developers’ own work. As it turns out, getting this stuff right is “really annoying.””In general, the way most game developers make UI is very simple,” director Katsura Hashino tells The Verge. “That’s what we try to do as well — we try to keep things simple, practical, and usable. But maybe the reason that we’ve achieved both [functionality and beauty] is that we have unique designs that we make for each and every menu. This is actually really annoying to do. We have separate programs running for each of them as well. Whether it’s the shop menu or the main menu, when you open them up there’s a whole separate program running and a separate design that goes into making it. It takes a lot of time.”In an interview with GamesRadar+ earlier this year, Hashino said that the team has “been really focused on making really good UI since Persona 3,” noting that because RPGs focus “so heavily on equipment and party setup and skills and using all these menus” they deserve much more TLC in menu de…
