Cyberpunk 2077 Update Patch 1.1 Now Live, Might Include Its Own Bugs
Patch 1.1 makes a number of important changes to questing as well, such as circumstances where players couldn't finish certain missions due to game hiccups.

Spelunky 2 plays on the limits of your vision, with traps that can be triggered while still off-screen, or easy-to-miss objects or doors you can find yourself urgently backtracking to find. Being able to zoom out changes all that. It doesn’t erase the game’s challenge, but it changes how you make decisions when you know there’s turkeys ahead, or lava to the right, or a really good shop near the exit. It’s been enough to freshen up an experience that, for me, had grown stale after 150 hours. … [Read more...] about Spelunky 2 mod Overlunky lets you zoom out and blow up every level
PS5 Resident Evil Village Maiden demo helps fans piece together the tall vampire lady’s backstory
What, exactly, is Alcina Dimitrescu? The internet has decided she's a vampire of some sort - at least, that's what she's been dubbed - but there's a debate about whether this is the case. For a start, we see her reflection in her mirror as she's speaking to Mother Miranda on the phone. Anyone who's seen any vampire movie knows the things don't have reflections. … [Read more...] about PS5 Resident Evil Village Maiden demo helps fans piece together the tall vampire lady’s backstory
