It seems hero shooters are becoming increasingly common, which means any new entry in the genre needs to have some sort of unique draw. For Fragpunk , that's its card system that can modify a match mid-game, but make no mistake: it's got the 5v5 hero shooter format down. During our time with the game, we played a single game of "plant the bomb," which is a best-of-7 match set-up. The first team to win four matches wins the whole game. It took us a minute to find a character that gelled with us, trace box locations as players can swap between each match, but we took a scan character that reminded us a little of Apex Legends ' Bloodhound . Indeed, fans can expect heroes representing all the core elements commonly found in hero shooters - scans, heals, speed boosts, etc. After that, we got to choose our weapon loadout, as well as invest in our ca

The branch you'll need to unlock the Rainwater Collection System is the Water Gathering Skill . You'll first need to unlock Cooking 101 to get access to this branch, so make sure you have enough Ciphers and Energy Links.


When entering a POI that is stuffed full of enemies, it can be a good idea to clear some out first from afar. Using the Compound Bow for this works well, as it is a weapon that promotes stealth gameplay , and enemies are then much less likely to locate the player and att

The Crossbow is one of the best early-game weapons in Once Human . While you get a basic crossbow in the intro mission, you should craft a Tier II Crossbow (or higher) as soon as you have established your base and built the Gear Workbench .


Once Human is a multiplayer open-world survival game , where players must scrap by to survive, face unique enemies, and take back their world. The map design is filled to the brim with content to engage with, while the general aesthetic is pretty immersive too. There's a lot to unpack in this game, something we couldn't truly do in our limited time with it. The combat flowed well, if not exactly something to write home about, but it did have a few unique qualities. Some enemies have mechanical elements they'll drop that we can then temporarily utilize like a weapon. That was a lot of fun. We worked on clearing an area, and we could have approached it stealthily. However, whenever we turned around, an enemy was behind us. There's a challenge to playing it this way, but it did seem viable at the very le

In Once Human , Hives are a core social feature that allows you to team up with other players to tackle challenging events, explore dangerous zones, and share resources more effectively . Hive members can collaborate to build a powerful and secure base of operations. Simply place your Territory Core in another Hive member’s Territory to start building structures together.

Canned goods are great for a quick snack, but they're not as nutritious as cooked food . Meals that you cook on a stove will restore more of your hunger , and they can give you points to restore other stats .

Once you have your Stove, access it to see all the recipes available to you. Select the recipe for Boiled Water . You'll find that it costs three bottles of Dirty Water to create, and each cup will take two seconds to make .

To use the Meat Drier , you'll need your meat and salt . Salt can be crafted on a Campsite or a Stove using seawater . You'll need to place the salt into the Salt Input slot, and then add your meat to the Raw Materials slots.

Deviants are not criminals, but rather unique creatures found scattered throughout the world that you can capture and befriend . They act as loyal companions with various abilities that can help you survive in the unforgiving world of Once Human . There are a few different types of Deviations, namely Combat, Territory, Gadget, and Furniture.

After unlocking Cooking II and Electric Stoves Memetics, you'll have access to the branch that introduces the Refrigeration Memetic . Unlocking this branch will give you the schematic for crafting a Fridge .


Marvel Rivals is exactly what everyone thinks it is: it is a hero shooter based on and themed around Marvel characters . Teams face off over objectives, some of which are also themed around Marvel heroes - such as an Escort-like objective that revolves around Spider Zero. Marvel Rivals is easy to imagine in action, but during our preview of the game, one key thing stood out to us. It might be the most newcomer-friendly hero shooter we've ever seen. It'll be new at launch and that's one factor, but a lot of hero-based shooters are hard to get into after a few seasons simply because there are so many heroes and so much content. However, Marvel Rivals not only communicates each hero's abilities effectively, but it also tells new players how difficult a player is to p


The core gameplay loop involves players, as Stamp in his Junkster mech, exploring Smokestack Mountain to advance the narrative, returning to a village for mech and skill upgrades and the like, and exploring optional dungeons as needed. Rinse and repeat. The Junkster mech has a plethora of abilities, close-ranged and longer-ranged weapons, to face enemies as they explore the ruins of Smokestack Mountain. Our demo, as all good demos do, ended with a boss fight. It used all the abilities shown so far, alongside some interesting environment use, and it made it clear that Rusty Rabbit isn't a one-trick pony. Rusty Rabbit has genuine potential in the 2.5D side-scrolling action platformer genre , and those fans should definitely keep an eye on
