It feels a little bit like cheating in Manor Lords, but the development upgrades you can get can do some powerful things to improve your settlement. However, to balance things out, the development points you need to unlock these enhancements are given out very sparingly. In fact, you won’t get even close to the amount needed to unlock everything on the sphere grid. To make matters even more stressful, there’s no way to undo a choice you make, so any point spent in error is locked in until you start a new game. There’s none that can make your game harder, but if you pick one that offers no benefit to your current settlement or goals, it might as well be a negative in terms of the opportunity cost. For the best experience, here are the developments you should invest in first.

Google Wallet has finally debuted in India to cater to the everyday requirements of Indian users. Many of you must be thinking, if there is a Google Pay app then why do we need a separate wallet? Well, Google says the Wallet is entirely a different app than Google Pay. The app will act like a digital wallet for the users where they can store several digital documents such as boarding passes, loyalty cards, movie tickets, and much more, whereas Google Pay is restricted to users' digital payment requirements. Therefore, the Google Wallet will not affect the Google Pay app in any way. Know more about the new Google Wallet app and how it works.

is a crab-based Soulslike and, in true soulslike fashion, there are still several things to go back to and finish once the credits roll. Despite the game's intensity, it is still a relatively short indie game that many players will hope to return to and, whether that means starting all over or completing 100% of the game, there is something for everyone to do.

During the first few minutes of playing as Hades 2’s Melinoë, players encounter sights like a bubbling cauldron, the silhouette of a pointed witch’s hat, and the glowing lines of a summoning circle. Between the new gameplay and the story, Hades 2 goes all in on the dark magic — and that’s one of the biggest differences between it and its predecessor, Hades.

There are far more than you might expect for an early access game. Here are all the Incantations and their recipes.

Dragon's Dogma 2 has come and gone, leaving behind a fairly mixed reception that ballooned during release but slowly deflated as the weeks rolled by. A lot of that will be down to players making more progress, thus spending more time in the game, all the while its slight annoyances build up more and more. However, there appears to be one big sticking point with fans, regardless of their feelings about Dragon's Dogma 2 as a whole, and that's the game's anti-climactic finale.

If you haven’t heard of the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game (MESGB) from Games Workshop you are missing out on the most thematic well-written rule system in their entire line up! Those of you who know me, know that I am mainly an Age of Sigmar player who dabbles in 40k, but MESBG is truly a hidden gem amongst the Games Workshop lineup. While being incredibly balanced the game truly captures the thematic nature of the movies and the extended Tolkien universe.

A new ability in 2.3 has been featured in leaks, highlighting what may be a game-breaking skill that can significantly change how players tackle the RPG’s challenges.

Fallout 4's big next-gen update dropped a couple of weeks ago, and in true Bethesda fashion it was a bit of a disaster. While some couldn't access the update if they owned Fallout 4 via PlayStation Plus, it was PC players who ended up drawing the short straw, as all the update really did was break most existing mods for the title and implement a horribly stretched out widescreen feature, adding very little in the way of actual improvements.

No matter what type of lord you want to be in Manor Lords, you will need to play nice early on. You will only have access to so many materials and resources in your village's early stages, so trading is essential for not only upgrading and advancing, but also keeping your loyal population happy. To sustain yourself in the early years, trading will grant you access to much-needed support, as well as a great source of income if you have a surplus of materials to sell. To make sure your storehouses are well-stocked, you will need to learn how to set up a profitable trade operation.

Blizzard's recent Developer Update Livestream filled players in on some of the changes that have been implemented as a result of player feedback following the PTR.

Helldivers 2 players have spent their time in the galaxy since launch learning how to work together for a common cause. When the Automatons mysteriously returned to menace the galaxy, tacticians would take to X and Discord to encourage fans to hit the right planets. Super Earth asked Helldivers to kill two billion bugs, and the player base pulled it off within hours. But the biggest coordinated effort that players have pulled off is not against the bugs or bots, but against the game’s publisher, Sony — and after a weekend of protest, the Helldivers scored a massive triumph.

Anticipated roguelike sequel Hades II was announced back in 2022, and we knew an early access launch was coming sometime in mid-2024, but a specific release date hadn’t been provided by developer Supergiant Games. Well, surprise! Following some technical tests, Hades II officially launches into early access… today! You can check out a new trailer for the early access version of the game, below.

Hades 2 has removed one of the first game's most powerful Gods, although there's a good story explanation for why she's not offering her infamously Boons in the sequel.

Hades II is now available to purchase as an early access title on both Steam and Epic Games Store, Supergiant Games has announced. For those who have a Steam Deck, the game is verified for that too. The early access version of Hades II has been priced at £24.99/$29.99

It is shocking to see that Hades 2 is only in early access, and that Supergiant Games plans to let it spend at least the rest of 2024 there before it’s ready to call it version 1.0. Shocking, because it already has just about everything I want from a sequel to one of the best roguelite action games of all time. Hades 2 manages to keep everything that made the original such a masterclass of design, but it does so in a way that changes up how each of the pieces fits together and gives it its own unique identity rather than feeling like a glorified expansion. The result is a familiar, but fresh follow up that challenged, surprised, and delighted me with every triumph and failure in equal measure. There are a few things missing, with an actual ending to its story being the most substantial among them, but once it’s complete it’s hard to imagine Hades 2 not living up to the mythological legacy of the first.

Hulu’s new documentary The Contestantis a lively watch, but also a deeply unnerving one. In 1998,Nasubi (meaning “eggplant,” a personal nickname turned stage name) agreed to live in a tiny one-room apartment, completely isolated from the world, for a segment on Japan’s extreme game show Susunu! Denpa Shōnen. He was allowed no food, clothing, or other personal possessions, except whatever he could win through magazine sweepstakes. Told to stay in the room until he’d won 1 million yen worth of prizes, he slowly starved, naked and alone, with his physical and mental health deteriorating. Then, when he finally reached his goal, the show’s producer, Toshio Tsuchiya, told him he had to do it all again, this time in Korea.

Nearly two years ago, Swedish indie developer Stunlock Studios (mostly known for the action MOBA Battlerite) released a vampire survival game called V Rising on Steam Early Access. The game quickly rose to the very top of Steam charts, selling over a million units in just over a week since launch.

Love point-and-click games? Well, another one has just hit Android and it looks pretty interesting. Titled The Apocalypse Sacrifice, it’s been published by FOG Games. It’s their first title on Android and is free to play. It’s a new take on the classic genre, where piecing together who you are is just the beginning.

Even though Nintendo still hasn't confirmed it will be releasing the Switch's successor in 2025, one look at its 2024 slate serves as relatively concrete evidence that's the case. There are still games coming, but there's an argument to be made that the last tentpole release on the Switch was Super Mario Bros. Wonder. A game famed for turning Mario and his supporting cast into elephants, and fans in Japan were lucky enough to then see Elephant Mario turned into a plush soon after.

is the latest set for the popular trading card game from Ravensburger. For this fourth set's Starter Decks, Disney movies like ,and — of course — all get a chance to shine.

Helldivers 2 is getting a new Warbond next week, as the Polar Patriots Warbond looks set to add some juicy weapons, as well as some stylish capes, armor, and emotes to flaunt on the battlefield. The announcement of a new Warbond is usually cause for celebration among the Helldivers 2 community, but this one is being treated with suspicion, as some believe it's teasing the introduction of one of the first game's most terrifying bugs.

The latest gameplay trailer for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero has seemingly confirmed that Grabs are returning alongside the iconic Sonic Sway counter move from Budokai Tenkaichi 3.

I've been wishing I could be Spider-Man for as long as I can remember, but the closest I've come to replicating that fictional feeling is by swinging around New York as the web-slinger in Insomniac's Spidey games. The idea of actually being able to fire webs from my wrists was an unattainable goal since, well, radioactive spiders aren't a thing, and if they were, being bitten by one probably wouldn't result in the development of superpowers. Kids today won't need to rely on that impossibility as Hasbro has created real-life Web Blasters, no radioactive spider bite needed.

In today's Developer Livestream, Blizzard explained how the Armor stat currently works in Season 3, as well as the changes developers are making for Season 4. The thinking behind this change is to balance out how players are experiencing defensives in top-end play and reduce the mystery involved in one-shot deaths players experience. Diablo 4 Season 4 Developer Livestream Summary

Carl Pei's Nothing has taken the world of technology by storm, establishing its foothold in a market that is usually dominated by heavyweights such as Samsung, Apple and others. One of the ways the tech startup has done that is by adopting a quirky, transparent design strategy that has stood out in a world of mundane and honestly repeated offerings which all look the same, with a few differences here and there. But it isn't the first company attempting to do so. HTC gave it a try with its quirky Android smartphones, and so did Nokia with its Windows-powered Lumia series. There were even attempts by Blackberry too to break this smartphone duopoly, but none of them managed to do it quite as well as Nothing. Thus, Nothing's products, such as the Phone 2a and the Ear 2 have stood out and have been highly appreciated by the tech community, even though they might not be the best in the business. This has been the company's strategy, with no intention of taking on the tech giants…until now.

Taliesin and Evitel cover the latest news in The Weekly Reset. This week they cover what we'll be seeing in Patch 10.2.7: Dark Heart, as well as an in-depth look at the Hallowfall zone in the War Within Alpha.

After so many years of support, it might feel like there’s nothing left that needs to be added or changed in Stardew Valley. This farming sim lets you live your best life in the quiet countryside with your own farm, NPCs to meet and date, Easter eggs to find, and quests to complete.

The Hallowfall questline is available for testing on the alpha this week. At this stage, cutscenes are described rather than shown — and the description of a scene at the end of the zone's storyline is particularly interesting… and concerning.

As some of you may have already seen in your own raid groups, Paladins were able to capitalize on an unintended interaction between Seal of Righteousness, Seals of Command, and the Tiny Abomination in a Jar trinket after the Cataclysm Classic pre-patch launched. This allowed Paladins to deal unfathomable amounts of damage, to the point where the number calculations would often freeze or crash the game. While this isn't the only bug that the pre-patch launched with, the Seals of Command bug was quite literally game-breaking, both in terms of causing performance issues when triggered, as well as completely trivializing content (with some Paladins even going as far as being able to solo mobs in Icecrown Citadel).With the bug already fixed by Blizzard, we wanted to break down exactly how it functioned, and what the cause of it was.

Hardcore FromSoftware fans might recall that director Hidetaka Miyazaki once said Elden Ring would take about 30 hours to beat - an estimate that was proven not just wrong, but ridiculously wrong pretty soon after the game's launch. Now, after so many players roasted that initial estimate, Miyazaki is refusing to guess at just how long the Elden Ring DLC is.

Terminator Survivors, Nacon's open-world survival adaptation of the Arnold Schwarzenegger-led film series, took a page from Resident Evil's book with its own relentless killing machine stalker.

Helldivers 2 is about to actually start enforcing its previously stated requirement for players on Steam to sign in with a PlayStation account, and to put it mildly, the community isn't taking it well. After 20,000 negative reviews in less than 24 hours, the game's developers say they get why players are upset.

Blizzard has released a new cinematic for Patch 10.2.7: Dark Heart, in which Khadgar sends his old friend, Alleria, after the mysterious Harbinger. But what does Alleria already know? We break it down below.

A newly revealed promo card from ’s expansion may be one of the best in recent times and players should not miss out on the opportunity of collecting it when it is released. Twilight Masquerade is a new Western set that is themed after the DLC for games for Nintendo Switch. A lot of the cards in the expansion are focused on the Land of Kitakami, its inhabitants, and its Pokémon. , for instance, brings Ogerpon and the Loyal Three to the spotlight, as well as Bloodmoon Ursaluna.

What a week it has been, with the sun finally showing its face again after a chilly April for the UK. We’ve still had plenty of time to play games though, and I’ve been continuing to plug away at Fallout 4 and No Rest for the Wicked, as well as taking some time to chill out with Endless Ocean: Luminous which is just a little bit too calm for its own good. Besides that I’ve made a start on Sand Land for our review which will appear after the weekend.
