Being a direct sequel to James Cameron’s Aliens and skilfully ignoring the terrible sequels that came after, Alien: Colonial Marines was shaping up to be one of the greatest horror shooters in the ge

Gameplay is controlled through decks of cards that are drawn. Each draw provides you with three new cards that kick off certain actions. Some repeat often, like taking a walk and getting some fresh air. Others are story-driven based on the storylines you’ve encountered. Maybe you’re looking for someone specific. A related card might appear that will lead you down the path to finding them. Most cards come with different options/decisions, each of which has a percentage of success assigned to it. Cyberpunkdreams is very much high-risk, high-reward. If you select an option with a low percentage of success, you’ll either be handsomely rewarded or strictly punis

Outrage is pretty common in gaming, and it feels wrong to be encouraging it, especially around a game as toxic as Cyberpunk 2077. For the record, I don’t care for the game. While it would have been fascinating to see how the game itself and the discourse around it would have been different if it came out bug free, it still would have had its issues. Bugs or no, Cyberpunk 2077 Beginner Guide 2077 is a game with a very binary perspective on gender that trades on a mostly superficial view of trans people , a horribly misogynistic view of women and sex workers , fridges one of its strongest female characters, and contained a (now patched out) racist m

Then, out of nowhere, a truck explodes. Bullets begin to whiz past me. On one side of me, a group of bordertown rebels are attacking the guards, not caring if any innocent civilians get caught between their crosshairs. On the other side, the Tower guards at the gate respond by unleashing hell with their automatic rifles and tower turrets. I’m caught in the crossfire and I need to move. As I start, though, I hear the screams of the child that’s trapped in the cabin of the exploded truck. She’s somehow still alive – her mother, the driver of the truck, not so lucky. I could easily start running the opposite direction, away from the chaos. Instead, I take a chance and sprint towards the truck in an attempt to save the child while staying alive myself – a dice roll with odds that aren’t exactly in my fa

As it turns out, Night would end up being assassinated in 1998 before he could live to see what would become of his city. To this day, it is unknown who killed Richard Night. It's a cold case that will probably never be sol

Solos in the Cyberpunk universe are basically mercenaries that take work as bodyguards, contract assassins, and whatever else a client with enough money will have them do. This has a lot of similarities to the gigs V partakes in during the course of 2

And you will be punished. Whether you randomly get mugged in a back alley or end up in a long and slow death loop that drains you of your money, health, and resources, Cyberpunkdreams is not an easy game. You’re going to die, but you’ll begin each subsequent playthrough with just a little bit more of an advantage. After weeks of playing, I’ve somehow managed to keep my second character alive and thriving. I’m sure I’ll run into a wall at some point, but apparently, I’ve been making the right decisions… or, the more likely reason, have been incredibly lu

Morgan begins to make their way through the station in hopes of finding other humans. Along the way through, they recover their memories of what happened on the Talos 1. They also battle and learn about the Typhons. Explaining any more might spoil the best twists for new players.

'Anti-consumer' is a phrase used a lot in gaming, and not always accurately. It's not anti-consumer that Nintendo doesn't support Smash Melee tournaments, for example, and while locking story content behind DLC is awfully money grubbing, I'm not sure it's technically 'anti-consumer'. Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 undoubtedly is, however. It's a PS4 game being sold on PS4 while the PS4 makers tell you not to play it on the PS4. I know we're all bored of talking about Cyberpunk 2077 by now, but this seems to be sneaking under the radar. It's disgraceful that our industry allows it, and it's a worrying sign of the growing divide between the players and the suits out to make a quick b

fat_book_closeup-1024x683.jpgWith the release of Update 2.0 and the expansion of Phantom Liberty , Cyberpunk 2077 has more content than ever before, and the game’s state is at its best. Players are able to find all manners of exceedingly rare items, and this collection is missable , meaning that if players haven’t already got them before certain missions, then it may already be too l

These games are incredibly popular, and some have even gone on to be crowned some of the best games of all time. For gamers who like dark stories, western RPGs are teeming with themes that are perfect for gamers who are looking to get away from light-hearted storytelling.
