_ Don’t Starve Together _ is a fun but often-punishing survival game where you work with your friends to forage, craft, Hytale Cancellation and fight off the shadows. As you attempt to survive each day, you could probably use an occasional pick-me-up. That might mean shuffling players around, making sure your stats are up, or messing with the flow of time its
Don’t Starve Together hits that sweet spot of gamers with interests in being gentlemanly survivalists… fine, it’s a niche we didn’t realize exists until playing, but it’s a very real overlap. Throw in amazing, spooky drawings that look like incredibly talented, detailed doodles and you’ve got a win
You can never have too many items, right? Or creatures, either—living among the Beefalos sounds pretty great! These lines of code will get you the items, props, or creatures you crave. That even means Tallbirds or Spider Queens,
After six games released over the course of seven years, the series then went on hiatus until 2012’s X-COM: Enemy Unknown . The reboot of the franchise proved to be successful, with Firaxis and publisher 2K Games choosing to commit to further games in the X-COM franchise. Fans do not have long to wait for X-COM 2 – although the title has recently been pushed back to a February 2016 relea
The Binding of Isaac combines elements of retro top-down shooters such as Smash TV , as well as RPG character building and roguelike random item and level generation. The game tells the story of Isaac, a young boy in an abusive relationship with his monstrous mother . Thrown down into the basement, Isaac awakes to a terrifying world of creatures, and must overcome huge beasts – and his own mother – to esc
The 2013 finalists for the Canadian Videogame Awards span seventeen categories and include 29 games, narrowed down from 75 nominated titles. To qualify titles, at least in part, must be developed in Canada. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag leads the pack this year with an impressive 12 nominations. Last year’s show saw Far Cry 3 take him the most awards , including Game of The Y
The 2014 show will include 2013 and 2014 made games to be awarded separately, based on the nomination year, in one ceremony. Information on 2014 nominations will be released in June while the votes for the 2013 winners must be submitted by April 21st. The award ceremony takes place November 21, 2014 at the Carlu in the heart of downtown Toro
The first piece of advice I can give is to find the town that the expansion is named after. You don’t spawn in the Hamlet , and sometimes, it’s quite the walk to get there. I’ve sunk quite a few hours into Hamlet over multiple saves, and in my experience, the town was typically about half an in-game days walk from where I spaw
The nominations are in and the finalists have been officially selected for the 2013 Canadian Videogame Awards. This year, the fifth for the relatively young award ceremony, is quite a bit different. Reboot Communications and EP Media are moving the show this year from Vancouver FanExpo, where it’s traditionally been held, to Toronto but recently delayed the production to the fall where the 2013 awards will be announced alongside (but separately from) the 2014 awards as w
The world of “Don’t Starve Together” might be complex and detailed, with rich lives for the characters , but the elements can be very simple. Like that you can’t have your food go bad – enter the icebox. This step towards easier refrigeration, “Requires: Alchemy Engine – 2 Frazzled Wires – 2 Gears – 1 Lying Robot” and the benefits include, “Inventory storage with 2 slots Reduces spoilage rate by 50% (same as Ice Box) Cannot store items which cannot be stored in an Ice Box Cannot suspend spoilage of Ice and Ice Cube nor cool the Thermal Stone” . Well, it’s a mixed bag but that’s one more perk of civilization brought to the wildern
Permadeath gaming has seen a huge resurgence over recent years. Giving players a single life or character with which to complete the game, games with permanent death as a mechanic are notoriously difficult, tasking players with keeping upmost concentration throughout their playthrough. More often than not, attempts may end in tears – but that won’t stop players from trying their hand once m
While you’ll certainly still need to craft armor and weapons, you don’t need to worry about it right off that bat. Pretty soon into the game, you’ll be attacked by a couple of Vampire Bats , basically the equivalent of the Hounds in the vanilla game. They might seem formidable, but you really don’t need to deal with them much at all, provided you’re near the Hamlet. Run right over to some of the Pig Guards, and they’ll take care of those Vampire Bats for you. Just be sure not to accidentally hit one of the guards; they don’t seem to take that very w
Spelunky proved to be so popular in its free-to-play form that developer Mossmouth then proceeded to create an Xbox Live Arcade version of the title. The re-release upped the ante with improved graphics and controls, as well as additional monsters and traps to avoid, and secrets to find. The enhanced edition proved to be a critical darling, even winning three IGF awa
