Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Wrath of the Druids Review
Returning to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s vast world can feel daunting after months away. Even with dozens of hours of completing the story and side exploration and pillaging under my belt, there was still so much to be done. But fear not: you should feel no need to complete it all before jumping into Wrath of the Druids, the new expansion that brings Eivor to the rolling hills of Ireland, because its content available early in the campaign and is worth putting ahead of most of the other sidequests that fill out the world. The adventuring and combat is more of the same for the most part, but its new twisting tale of politics and mysticism really stands out among the best storytelling in the series and the Druids themselves are stand-out enemies.

How You Can Get the Golden Lara Croft Skin in Fortnite
Don the Lara Croft Skin
In order to unlock the golden anniversary skin, you’ll first have to equip the basic Lara Croft skin. We assume it’s to keep with the theme of her exploring forgotten tombs. Whatever the case, don her “threads” before jumping into a match.Visit Isla Nublada to Find Orelia
The v16.40 update introduced a new island called Isla Nublada to Fortnite. Located just south of Flush Factory, this small area comes complete with its own NPC and set of ruins. The new NPC, named Orelia, isn’t all that important to this particular mission. The golden SCAR assault rifle that Orelia guards is important, though, as you need it to unlock Lara’s golden anniversary skin.Pick Up The Golden SCAR
Dive down to Isla Nublada as Lara and retrieve the golden SCAR. This is easier said than done. The first hurdle being rival players. Only one person can pick up the SCAR per match. Killing the person who picks it up and taking it for yourself afterward, doesn't work. We recommend getting as close to Isla Nublada as possible before diving out of the bus. If it happens to spawn on the same side of the map, immediately dive and head straight down, only adjusting your descent once you’ve opened your parachute.Control Developer Confirms It's Started Work on Another New Game

Something really striking about both sections of gameplay I saw came from the sheer scale of what Insomniac is pulling off. The expanse of what Ratchet can do on PS5 became clear in the State of Play, from the bustling density of Nefarious City to the meticulous detail of Ratchet’s fur.Scarlet Nexus: The Final Preview
I’ve played a lot of character-action games and action-RPGs in my years of gaming, which was why when I went into my hands-on session with Scarlet Nexus, I figured that I pretty much knew what to expect. But Scarlet Nexus surprised me with a style of combat that was both fast-paced and deliberate, while also still managing to combine that with an endearing cast of characters that already had me invested in their relationships and struggles even in just the four hours that I got to play. Add on top of that a unique “Brainpunk” aesthetic and the core mechanic of being able to throw cars at your enemies, and Scarlet Nexus is standing out in all of the right ways.
[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=scarlet-nexus-preview-screenshots-and-art&captions=true"]
Scarlet Nexus’s world is one that runs largely due to the powers of the brain, hence the “Brainpunk” label. People communicate telepathically, there are augmented reality pop ups and advertisements all over the city, and most importantly, many of its inhabitants are gifted with special mental abilities. The two playable protagonists, Yuito and Kasane, are equipped with Psychokinesis, which gives them the ability to move objects with their minds. But through the usage of what’s known as the SAS (Struggle Arms System), they’re also able to temporarily borrow the powers of those close to them.

Subnautica: Below Zero Review
The original Subnautica is one of those games I wish I could wipe from my memory so that I could plunge in and comb its depths for the first time all over again. No one’s worked out how to do that without some pretty severe side effects, but Subnautica: Below Zero is the next best thing: even though it’s a bit smaller, it gives us a whole new watery sector to explore, survive, craft, and build awesome bases in, and it’s just as exhilarating.

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 Could Also Get a Re-Release
After the surprise re-release of the original Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance on consoles (PC and mobile to come later), it seems fan reaction has been strong enough that a re-release of Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance 2 is “on the table,” according to developer Black Isle Studios.
Black Isle took the time to thank fans on Twitter and respond to additional comments and concerns.
“The sequel is on the table. Stay tuned!” Black Isle said.
[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/05/06/baldurs-gate-dark-alliance-official-launch-trailer"]Dark Alliance 2 came out in 2004 on PS2 and Xbox, three years after the release of the original. The cult classic hack-and-slash RPG released to generally positive reviews, receiving an 8.4 out of 10 from IGN for its continuation of the original’s formula, moderately mixed up with the new necromancer class and workshop feature.
Just don’t expect a full remake. The first Dark Alliance re-release has 4K support, backwards compatibility, and two-player co-op, but new features aren’t really a draw here.
[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/16/dd-dark-alliance-gameplay-trailer"]
If you’re a fan of the D&D realm, the upcoming Dark Alliance from Tuque Studios combines modern design with that old school combat feel, but we’ll find out for sure when that launches on June 22.
