While the AAA landscape was very strong, 2013 was an equally strong year for the indie sector. Services like GOG, Green Man Gaming and Steam supported the market and continued to ensure the growth of the indie scene. With more indie hits, there are more indie players and hence, more attention paid to the creativity, themes and discussions that certain games presented throughout 2
Perhaps one of the most famous indie games in recent years, FTL: Faster Than Light became a cult hit upon its release in 2012. The player takes control of the crew of a spaceship, tasked with delivering news of an incoming attack from a group of violent rebels. Along the way, the crew fights or evades space pirates, alien mantises, and dangerous environmental effects, all the while upgrading both crew and vessel to survive the void of sp
When you’re looking at different food sources nearby, you’re definitely going to make note of where all the rabbit holes are. During the summer, fall, and winter, these will be an infinite source of morsels each day as the rabbits respawn. Make plenty of traps and leave them near the holes – baited with carrots if you have them to sp
Don’t Starve placed players into the shoes of a scientist named Wilson, and tasked them with a single mission: to survive. Unfortunately, mere survival itself is an extremely difficult task in Don’t Starve , with players having to overcome nightmarish creatures and a myriad of challenges. The crafting-focused title gives plenty of ways to kill a player, and savvy users need to look out for Wilson’s health, hunger, and sanity at all ti
Players may well think that Webber is a humanoid spider; he certainly looks like one, but his form is more complicated than that. He is, in fact, a child living inside a spider that tried to consume him. How horrible is that? You wouldn’t guess it from the spider silk beard he grows. Does that mean it’s his or the spid
It’s not just the zombies that will prove to be a danger to the player, however. As well as fighting off the undead horde, gamers must also take care of their own hunger and thirst, and above all else look out for other players. Indeed, other survivors looking for vital equipment may be the biggest killer in DayZ , and veteran players are slow to trust any other uninfected humans they come acr
ZombiU has finally escaped the quarantine of Wii U exclusivity, and the title is now available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC under the moniker Zombi . However, it seems as though the port to other devices has not quite worked as intended, with the PC version in particular seemingly infected with bugs more irritating than a simple zombie infect
From the game’s flavor texts and dialogue, it becomes clear that Wolfgang , otherwise known as The Strongman, has done a lot of things in his time. He is said to have been a member of a “troupe,” which sure sounds like a circus troupe. Plus, one of his skins is called the “Circus Rose Atti
His true identity prompts a lot of questions: do the other spiders realize what he is? Other spiders don’t attack him, but is that because he looks like a spider, or do they know there’s a child in there and feel
Woodie is one of two characters that can change their form; if he chops down too many trees too quickly, or if the moon is full, he will become a “Werebeaver.” But this form is more useful than you might think. The sanity, health, and hunger meters disappear when Woodie is in his Werebeaver form, meaning that effectively if he were to stay in that form, he could survive indefinitely. He wouldn’t even need food or items to help heal him — he could simply live forever. But beware, the “naughtiness” score still applies and Krampus can still come after
Although settling down immediately to start your base may seem tempting, it’s not the best idea. You’ll definitely want to spend at least half of autumn wandering around the world. This can help you to collect items that you can use to create everything you need for your base, collect bushes and grass to plant at your base, and find somewhere good to settle d
It seems that he was also in the military when the player examines a Beefalo as Wolfgang and says he is reminded of the “cavalry.” He also says that pitchforks remind him of his childhood, so maybe he worked on a farm? He sure was b
Before you can start building your base, you’re going to need to pick your survivor. Don’t Starve Together has a wide variety of different survivors available for the players to choose from and Klei, the game’s developers, are adding new ones pretty regularly. If you’re going to be playing with friends, you might want to pick characters whose quirks and abilities compliment each ot
Red Dead Redemption 2 hasn’t been out on PC for very long, but the modding community hasn’t wasted any time cracking the game Open world Story games to create some good content. It will be interesting to see what they come up with in a year’s time, but they’re off to a good start, alre
