Good news casual Soulslikers, Lies of P’s latest update makes it dramatically easier

Those bosses aren’t so bossy anymore Neowiz have releasedLies of Pupdate 1.2.0.0, a major patch for the puppet-ridden action-RPGwhich educated souls are describing asthe closest we may ever get to a Bloodborne PC port. It introduces Dualshock 4 and DualSense controller support alongside a host of changes to enemies, the execution of the game’s Fable Arts or gear-specific special moves, item drop rates and the duration of stagger windows. The overarching aim seems to be to make the game easier, and as I’m sure you’re expecting, a few Lies of P fans - and, it turns out, RPS staffers - are ticked off about that....

NZXT's H1 v2 SFF PC case is down to $200 with a 750W SFX PSU and 140mm AiO

A good price for a blissful build experience in a great-looking case. NZXT’s H1 v2 is one of my favourite small form factor PC cases, but a high price point (and a manufacturing defect in the V1 model) kept it from seeing widespread adoption. It’s now possible to pick up this Mini ITX case from Best Buy for $200, half its usual price and a good deal for a case that includes a 750W SFX power supply, 140mm AiO and top fan....

RPS Asks: Do you still have your old sites, files, or floppy disks?

Inspired by Hypnospace Outlaw and old floppy finds A friend recently found her old floppy disks from the 1997, uncovering a treasure trove of poetry, MS Paint art, homework, screensavers, and fanfic. Delightful finds which I feel privileged to have seen. I very much do not have my old floppies. They’re all long-gone, chucked along with all my old websites and blogs and CDs and everythings in strict sentimentality purges. I don’t know if I now regret that....

Starfield New Game Plus mods give you full control over the game's weirdest elements

Here be spoilers One of the lantern fish lures dangled in the face of anybody losing momentum inStarfieldis “mate, you would notbelievethe weird stuff that happens in New Game Plus”. I won’t say too much - not in this opening paragraph, anyway - but there’s a playfulness to the post-completion options that you don’t really find in the rest of Bethesda’s much-ballyhooedRPG. It’s the kind of thing you expect from modders, not the developers themselves....

What's better: Improvised environmental weapons, or skipping across a timeline flowchart?

Vote now! Last time, you decided by 72% against 28% thatsetting unit waypoints is better than receiving waypoints yourself.

This week, I ask you to choose between mastery of place and mastery of time. What’s better: improvised environmental weapons, or skipping across a timeline flowchart? Honestly, what kind of uncool dude actually carries weapons around with them?...

El Paso, Elsewhere review: a cosmic third-person shooter from a forgotten age

Max pain El Paso, Elsewherefeels like the cancelled shooter PS2 adaptation of an incredibly short-lived Image Comics horror series from the mid-90s, leaked by a disgruntled developer over Google Drive more than a decade after the fact. It’s something that would have had a six episode animated series, broadcast out of order at 1am. It’s a testament to that moment in pop culture where the coolest thing imaginable was a tortured guy in a trenchcoat, holding a gun in each hand and fighting monsters....
