How to install the patched version of Monster Hunter Rise and follow the recommended solution Want to know how to fix the “failed to save” bug in Monster Hunter Rise on PC?Since the PC port ofMonster Hunter Riselaunched last week, many players have unfortunately found themselves unable to play thanks to a game-breaking bug that crashes the game on start-up.

A world worth saving? Something is missing fromNobody Saves The World, a new action RPG fromGuacameleedevs DrinkBox Studios. This is a dungeon-crawler that lets you shapeshift into horses, bodybuilders, and ghosts in your bid to save the world, but it’s a quest blighted not only by a Calamity, but by repetition too. Charming characters and clever mighty-morphin' combat succumb to numbers, which reduces what could’ve been a rich world to a rather hollow dash between dungeons....

Skate or don’t To perform an ollie is to commune with gods. Or maybe just look cool.OlliOlli Worldis shaping up to be a good-spirited renovation of the 2D skateboarding series that has traditionally been quite punishing. This one’s got a flashy third dimension, moon-faced cartoon characters, and a plucky story to match. We’re told of Skate Godz who once appointed a human representative on earth. But she’s about to retire and needs a prodigy to step forward to fill her Vans....

More blood and politics The edgy animated adaptation of Valve’s silly wizard war MOBADota 2has returned, with the full second season of Dota: Dragon’s Blood now live on Netflix. Dragon Knight, Mirana, and their friends return to fight Terrorblade, having committed the classic Dota mistake of letting a late-game carry farm uninterrupted until they’re stacked. Should’ve kept ganking him before he ate all those dragons, nerks. While I found the first series too edgy and plodding, I do think it’s good to be able to separate source material from adaptations, to treat them as different things, enjoy them for different reasons, and not get hung up on differences....

Older game called Wordle has benefitted from new viral hit When I first heard aboutWordle, I assumed it was an app, and went looking for it on various app stores. I didn’t find it - Wordle is insteada website, and completely free. It turns out I’m not alone.

It’s for local co-op, but you can work around that to play online The PC version ofYs IX: Monstrum Noxnow supports cooperative multiplayer, a tidy little post-launch bonus for Nihon Falcom’s action-RPG. Nadia Oxfordtold uslast year that for fans of the genre, “the Ys series is a must-play, and Ys IX is as good a place to start as any.” Co-op makes it an even nicer place to start because friends are nice, aren’t they?...

The speedrunning week has raised £2.5 million for a cancer charity The speedrunning fundraiser festivalAwesome Games Done Quickended in the wee hours on Sunday, with one of its most spectacular runs coming in the final stretch. A speedrunner beatSekiro: Shadows Die Twicein just over two hours, which frankly is impressive enough to me. More than that, the runner known as “Mitchriz” was blindfolded from start to finish, guided by a combination of memory and feeling-out environments....

More time to plan your castle Diplomacy Is Not An Optionlooks pleasant and lovely, a bucolic town builder of the sort that would enrapture me for a lost weekend. There’s a little combat, but not mu– Oh, wow. Waitaminute. There’s a moment in this trailer where it suddenly looks like one of those adverts for fake mobile games. Thehordes. Seemingly thousands of enemies on screen, and the physics to simulate them being hurled about....

Available through a beta branch on Steam Friday’s long-awaited PC launch ofGod Of Warwas mostly received by people nodding their heads and muttering “Boy”—the highest praise a heavy heart can offer. A few would-be players, however, found themselves unable to play, with the game throwing up “out of memory” error messages when they really shouldn’t be out of memory. The devs have been looking into the issue, and released a potential fix on an opt-in experimental branch on Steam....

That’s a lot of money to get basically nothing Konami’s first auction of NFTsconcluded over the weekend, with idiots collectively spending the equivalent of £119,000 ($162k) in cryptocurrency to buy 14 database entries pointing to Castlevania artwork, music, and videos that anyone online can see for free. On one hand, thank god it was only £119,000 because if it was the millions that some ugly Twitter avatars have sold for, every other mercenary games company would ramp up their own NFT initiatives....

Drive, jump, honk I stumbled across a stream ofJump Kinglast week, a platformer that passed me by when released a couple of years ago. “Yes, I want to ruin my life,” I thought, and instantly bought it. Now just a few days later, my life ruined, I see jumps and punishing falls everywhere. Is indie developer Daniel Linssen’s new free game Tumbledown Drive a Jump King andGetting Over ItWith Bennett Foddy-inspired platformer in which you are a car hopping up a mountain, or is this another hallucination?...
