Walking the Gank: Examining Sea of Thieves’ on-going identity crisis

February 28, 2022VG247

Rare’s “what if pirates also enjoyed solving puzzles” thought-experiment Sea of Thieves is once again shaping up for a successful year. As if 2021’s introduction of Seasons with Battle Pass-esque cosmetic unlocks and a full narrative-focused Pirates of the Caribbean crossover wasn’t enough, Rare recently revealed that 2022 will see the addition of new, timed PvE events that contribute to an ongoing narrative, where the community’s actions can actually affect…

February 5, 2022VG247

Players are reporting other issues too. Techland is aware of disconnection issues plaguing Dying Light 2 co-op, and a fix for it is on “the top of the list.” According to the studio, it is also working on problems with redeeming awards, codes, and other in-game content, including Twitch Drops from TechlandGG.

Forever Skies looks a bit like Subnautica up in the air

So a game about exploring the skies and skyscrapers above the ruins of human civilisation in a customisable airship, ah yes, I would like to die now, thank you very much. Read more
