Fallout 76 feels far more familiar than you might expect, but charges you with adapting to its new rules and co-operative play in a big way.

Distance is a racing game which benefits from conventional arcade mechanics, mixed with a beautiful visual style, ambient yet archaic music, and a vast collection of user-generated content. Where it starts to choke is its repeat play value, and a multiplayer that is only as good as the number of players and maps you have.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is an already sprawling, enormous game, with dozens and dozens of hours of mostly worthwhile, meaningful content for your misthios to hack, slash and stab through. That doesn’t mean it couldn’t do with a little more though. Of course, there’s a lot more content coming as part of the game’s season pass, but in the meantime, Ubisoft has added a whole new quest. For free.

The beta for Red Dead Online kicks off later this month, but Rockstar has kept quiet as to what players can expect within that mode. New leaks and data-mining (For the love of Clint Eastwood Rockstar, please don’t sue us) paints a picture of an online mode that’s not too dissimilar to GTA Online’s primary focus of owning fast cars and property.

This week, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 got a little microtransaction injection – and it’s leaving fans of the game rather upset. While Call of Duty games have had some form of point-based in-game currency that can be bought for real money for ages, the implementation in this year’s game is being labelled as especially predatory and greedy.

From the decade that defined many of us and got us hooked on video games, who deserves a second chance…dude?

I’m not in a rush to jump down that cash-hungry rabbit hole of collecting again, but it’ hard to deny just how well-designed and crafted each individual Amiibo is. I’m thinking of breaking that oath to refrain from Nintendo’s collectible clutches, as next week’s Diablo 3: Eternal Collection on the Switch has revealed a new addition to the merch library: An adorable Loot Goblin.

Battlefield V is out later this month, and should be one of the first of a handful of games to support Nvidia’s brand new ray-tracing capable video cards. Of course, you’d need to actually one of those cards, which have yet to really prove their worth. Of course, that sort of hardware isn’t necessary, and the required PC specs range from lowly hardware right up to the sort of stuff that PC dreams are made of. While EA and DICE released specs for the beta, they’ve been a little quiet on the sort of horsepower required for the retail release of the game. NOT ANYMORE!
