Lego Horizon Adventures Raises The Question Of What IPs Work As A Lego Game

Having now played about an hour of Lego Horizon Adventures, it feels like a game with great ideas that are restricted by the IP it’s based on. I love the world of Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West, but the opening hour of Lego Horizon often feels like its setting and characters are clashing with the comedic creativity and gameplay loop that so many Lego games excel at. The opening hour of Lego Horizon feels like a pretty decent start to what’s hopefully a good game–at the very least, it’s shaping up to be my favorite Lego game in terms of visuals–but there are moments where I could see the kid-friendly vibe of the Lego games conflicting with the more adult-oriented storylines of Horizon.

Lego Horizon is a loose retelling of Aloy’s first adventure, in which the bow-wielding protagonist utilizes an assortment of hunting tools and high-tech gadgetry to fight mechanical dinosaurs, mammals, and birds in a world that feels both like a forgotten past and unforeseen future of our own. Aloy, mysteriously birthed from a mountain and subsequently made an outcast, desires to prove herself capable of joining the tribe that cast her out and returning to the mountain to uncover the truth about her origins.

Stardew Valley Creator Reconfirms Next Task Is Haunted Chocolatier

It might not be arriving anytime soon, but Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone has made clear that work is resuming on Haunted Chocolatier Come from online casino bangladesh . The Stardew Valley creator has returned to the game after focusing on that title’s 1.6 update.

Barone wrote a new blog post on the Haunted Chocolatier website, acknowledging it’s “been a while” since the last update. The main reason for that has been the developer’s commitment to Stardew Valley 1.6. Even since launching the considerable patch, bug fixes and console porting have been a priority. But now, Haunted Chocolatier should get the spotlight.

COD Leak Reveals "Get High" Map That's Unlike Anything Else In The Franchise

After Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s latest seasonal update dropped, dataminers have unearthed details of a new map called Get High (stylized as G3T_H1GH) that’s likely intended for a 4/20 event. The map is a vaporwave-inspired parkour race course, where players will be tasked with getting as high as possible–in the elevation sense, of course.

Modern Warfare 3’s latest season already has a number of references to 4/20, including two Snoop Dogg operator skins, Cheech and Chong joining the game complete with a weed-themed finishing move, and a DLC bundle called Stoney Sloth.

As well as a reworked map called Growhouse, leakers have revealed the more unusual Get High map, which is likely to come to the game closer to the April 20. Dataminer BobNetworkUK posted a video of the vaporwave-styled obstacle course, where it appears players will have to race to reach the highest point possible within the time limit. Some routes through the map have multiple options, and there are…

Halo Infinite Bug Fix- An Error Occurred While Searching For Players

With the launch of Halo Infinite multiplayer, Xbox players are sure to be busy inviting friends, drifting in Warthogs, and headshotting rivals. The game is off to a fast start, already climbing to impressive heights on Steam and Twitch–and presumably Xbox, though those numbers aren’t available. Some players, however, are being met with an error screen on occasion, reading: “An error occurred while searching for other players.” It’s a fairly common issue, though thankfully has a rather quick fix too. Here’s what to do if you encounter this error message.

If you boot up Halo Infinite and find yourself obstructed by this “searching for players” error message, it’s likely that you are playing on Xbox Series X or S, because the issue stems from the game’s server connection being severed when you leave it in Quick Resume for too long.

How long exactly? Well it seems to happen if you exit the game but leave it running for about 30 minutes or so. I…

Hand of Fate Review

Hand of Fate may not be a Dungeons & Dragons game, but it captures the imagination in a similar way: by abstracting exploration and encouraging your mind to create exactly what the forests, dungeons, and villages you encounter might look like. The game’s mysterious and melodramatic card dealer takes the role of dungeon master, uncovering cards that represent star-crossed lovers looking for a friendly face, or raging riverbeds that must be crossed. Meanwhile, you sit across from the enigma holding the cards, choosing whether to help the lovers, or to alert their parents; you navigate that river, hoping to traverse it unscathed, rather than to draw the ire of nearby lizardpeople. You never see these lovers: they exist only as a few words and a card. Hand of Fate invites you to look beyond its abstractions and picture such moments with your mind’s eye. When the game tells you of a surreal circus that dissipates on the wind once you make your exit, the writing is just clear enough t…
