CP2077 Lucretia My Reflection: How to meet Solomon Reed in Phantom Liberty Look upon Idris Elba’s digital face Image credit:CD Projekt Red Lucretia My Reflection is one of the longest missions added with Cyberpunk 2077 ’s Phantom Liberty DLC, with a few distinct phases taking place across multiple in-game days. It represents the end of the DLC storyline’s first act, and while it’s largely linear, there are a couple of minor choices to be made along the way, as well as some puzzles that might catch you out....

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty delivers on the promises the base game failed to deliver at launch – hands-on CD Projekt Red has been hard at work on making Cyberpunk 2077 a prettier, better, and smarter game – and it really shows. When Mike Pondsmith first came up with the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, he wanted to make sure punk – proper punk – was at the heart of it. “It’s not just the philosophical attitude of the punk scene and it’s not just the music – everything about punk inspired Cyberpunk originally,” he told me, years ago, in a crowded room at E3....

Destiny 2 Lightfall’s latest hidden Exotic quest reminds me why I still love the game, despite everything How can one little mission smuggled into a weekly update make me shake my head and say ‘oh Destiny’ all over again? There I was, kicking my heels after racing through an absurd amount of content the night of the Destiny 2 Weekly Reset – I’d done some main missions, done the social calls to catch up with each of my vendor pals, and was considering flexing my inner masochist in the Crucible to see out the night....

Diablo 4 1.1.2 patch speeds up Malignant farming, fixes the damn A Boon in the Tide bug Diablo 4 is getting a new patch this week that makes the headline feature of the season faster, and brings a few crucial bug fixes.

Diablo 4 Reddamine locations and uses Fun with fungi Diablo 4 Reddamine locations are confined to one small part of the vast RPG’s sprawling open world. Lucky for you, the road there isn’t a terribly grueling one, and you can start gathering Reddamine in large quantities shortly after starting Act 1 properly. That’s a good thing, since Reddamine plays a vital role in some of Diablo 4 ’s most important alchemy recipes....

Just one of the many ideas that were scrapped during development. Image credit:Warner Bros. Games I reviewed the game back in February, highlighting its positives (of which there are many, actually), but also confirming our suspicions that it was yet another bunch of separately cool elements trapped inside the wrong type of game, one that the studio likely didn’t want to make. Unsurprisingly, Schreier’s report confirms as much, with sources stating that the traditionally single-player studio had to grow “from roughly 160 to more than 250 people....

Does the PS5 Pro’s high price make jumping to PC instead a no brainer? Well, it’s a bit more complicated than that If paying somewhere in the region of 700 big ones has you considering your options, you will still need to whack out a calculator. Image credit:VG247 In case you haven’t heard, the PS5 Pro’s a bit expensive . As was slapped across a barrage of rightly flabbergasted tweets and articles in the aftermath of the console being revealed on Tuesday , it’ll set you back at least $699....

Don’t expect to play The Witcher remake or Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel anytime soon, as CD Projekt Red says The Witcher 4 is “the most advanced” of its projects But they’re all likely still years away. Image credit:CD Projekt. CD Projekt Red fans will probably want to prepare themselves for The Witcher 4 , as that’s what the developer is furthest along on. These days, CD Projekt Red has quite a lot on its plate....

The showrunners apparently love the irony that comes with showcasing the terrible effects of mega-corps via a mega-corp. Image credit:VG247/Amazon To be fair, it does very much sound like the show’s creators are very aware of the dissonance that comes from projecting the message ‘unchecked corporations bad’ via the airwaves of a corportation that continues to expand to levels where interacting with it’s basically unavoidable a lot of the time....

Don’t worry, you won’t have to endure Call of Duty’s cringe approach to Modern Warfare 3 leaks much longer Call of Duty’s attempts at countering Modern Warfare 3 leaks are very ‘how do you do, fellow kids’, but an end is in sight. You have to feel for social media managers who now have to deal with game leaks. Before, big companies used to simply pretend they didn’t happen, and only used their social media to propagate the official messages....

Doom The Dark Ages review: The road to hell is paved with hypertension Stressful, but in a good way, Doom The Dark Ages thunders along a well-trodden path but fails to break any new ground. Image credit:VG247 I like heavy metal. I have loved it since I was a kid. The best heavy metal albums all have this structure to them, a certain style that is as predictable as it is compelling....

Dragon Age: The Veilguard did see Bioware take a “hard look at multiplayer”, but eventually decide to stick to what it does best Sometimes a desire to return to your roots snaps you out of your distracted boyfriend meme, it happens. Image credit:Bioware Bioware has confirmed that it did indeed do a bit of a distracted boyfriend meme when it came to the idea of adding multiplayer elements to the game that’s now known as Dragon Age: The Veilguard , but recovered after deciding it wanted to stick to its established strengths....

Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s first patch isn’t just about dressing up like someone who bangs, ok, it’s saved us all from unexpected NPC neck growth Forget Elven gods, this was clearly the biggest threat facing Thedas. Image credit:BioWare Dragon Age: The Veilguard has now gotten its first patch, and while I’m sure you’ve seen the Mass Effect gear care package it adds to the game, you also need to look through the rest of the notes, because BioWare’s saved us all from some very weird NPC behaviour....
