A full list of necklaces available in Forspoken along with the benefits of wearing each one What is the best necklace in Forspoken?Forspokenprotagonist Frey is notable for having unusual gear. Forget helmets and armor, this modern New Yorker gets her nails done when she needs a useful combat buff. Similarly, Frey’s choice of necklace has a surprisingly important role to play in her loadout: far more than just an accessory, these jewels in fact grant Frey a variety of status buffs and other unique benefits when she wears them....

As a former owner, I can tell you this CPU rules. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X has dropped again on Amazon UK, this time to £200 when you buy stock from Amazon EU. That’s £20 below the next-best price and a fair deal for a strong eight-core 16-thread CPU for gaming and content creation. I ran the 5800X myself for a while before jumping ship for Intel when 12th-gen arrived. The 5800X is a good CPU, running a little hotter than the 5600X but alsodelivering better performance....

Serving meals in a solarpunk city I am fond ofCook, Serve, Delicious!, a trilogy of cooking games which became increasingly ambitious until the third was about operating a food truck on a post-apocalyptic road trip. Cook Serve Foreverlooks more ambitious again. It’s a new game from the same developers with similar combo-tapping food prep at its core, but set in a new solarpunk city. As of today, there’s a demo you can play and an early access release date set for April....

It’s part of its freshly confirmed New Game Plus mode EA Motive’sDead Spaceremake stalks onto PC tomorrow, nearly a decade and a half after the original made us collectively need to buy new pants. Earlier this week, I reported on the possibility of this new take on Dead Space getting analternate ending. The Reunion ending was leaked by an achievements list for the remake, but now the Dead Space Twitter account has confirmed that the game does indeed feature a secret ending....

A little star Well. They certainly remadeDead Space. With some small but welcome exceptions, Dead Space is a one-to-one remake of the 2008 original. Your opinion on whether that is a good thing or not will depend on how you feel about the endeavour of remaking games from fifteen years ago in the first place. As far as I’m concerned, this remake allowed me to replay one of my all-time favourite games in a lavish new form, and in that sense, Dead Space is extraordinary....

Snow leopards. Snow leopards are my absolute favourite animals in the world. I would die happy if I ever got the chance to see one in real life (from a great distance of course, lest it de-grundle me). Alas, the closest that most of us will get in our lives is to playPlanet Zoo- easily the best zoo simulator out there right now. Planet Zoo always seemed like an incredibly dense game, the kind that might take dozens or even hundreds of hours before you get a good handle on how to play it well....

Microsoft reveal the fortnight’s comings and goings Some good games there too! You’ve still got time to finish Donut County, a fun and playful puzzle game about a raccoon swallowing a town through technomagical holes (though John Walker’sDonut County reviewwas a little disappointed). Telling Lies is Sam Barlow’s previous woman-watching mystery game. Taiko no Tatsujin is some furious rhythm gaming. And Worms WMD is a Worms game. Do check outMicrosoft’s blog postfor games coming to Game Pass on consoles and the Cloud too, includingGoldenEye 007....

Releasing this April Road 96was a road trip where your journey was assembled from parts and each attempt to reach the border of a fictional USA-alike played out differently. Now it’s getting a prequel. Road 96: Mile 0 stars Zoe, one of the hitchhikers who could join you in the original, and her best friend Kaito, and features “psychadelic musical rides.” Here’s the announcement trailer: Road 96 had seven different hitchhikers you could pick up, although of the set Zoe was arguably the main character....
