Destiny 2 Campaign Play Order 2020 | What campaigns are vaulted?

With the vaulting of vast swaths of content, it’s confusing to figure out what the campaign order is in Destiny 2. Since most of the locations that made up the base game are now gone, players don’t have the option to play through a large chunk of the story. As such, those new to the series might feel a little lost when they’re forced to begin Destiny 2 in media res after the new (lackluster) introductory questline. There’s no avoiding the fact that Destiny 2 is missing the majority of the conte

Godfall Review | 'An excellent first impression that quickly fades to monotony'

Godfall review for PS5 and PC. Godfall is a game that’s stuck in time. The graphics and combat are top-notch, delivering what you’d expect of a modern hack-and-slash with some unique aspects thrown in the mix. However, when it comes to story and game design, Godfall feels more like it’s out of the early-2000s. Unfortunately, this produces a title that makes an excellent first impression that quickly fades to monotony. Like hundreds of games from the days of the NES, SNES, PS1, etc., Godfall‘s s

Destiny 2 Braytech Transponder | How to activate the Sector Augmentation required panels

A new item has been added to Destiny 2 called the Braytech Transponder in the wake of the Deep Stone Crypt raid. Using this item starts a small quest chain that allows players to grab some guaranteed gear. However, after using the Braytech Transponder, players must shoot down scanner drones in a specific order and use the panels requiring the Scanner Augmentation buff, or they’ll miss out on the gear. Below, we explain what the Braytech Transponder item does in Destiny 2. We’ll also walk player

Destiny 2 Dead Exo Locations | Where to find 3 dead Exos

The first step in reforging the Lament exotic requires players to find nine dead Exos in Destiny 2. Thankfully, players can find all of these deceased Exos in Europa. However, they’re scattered in some hard to see places. Below, players can find all nine dead Exo locations in Destiny 2. So, get ready for an extensive tour of Europa. How to find three dead Exo locations in Destiny 2 To complete this portion of the Lost Lament quest, players only have to scan three of the nine dead Exos. The ea

Destiny 2 Lament Blade Pieces Location | Find blade pieces in Glassway strike

One of the steps in the new Lost Lament quest in Destiny 2 is to find the blade pieces in The Glassway strike. Players must locate these pieces of the blade as part of the step “Rescue the Past.” Unfortunately, there’s no real guidance given past letting the player know where the pieces are located within the strike. The phrasing would make one assume that players must find multiple items in the Glassway strike. Fortunately, the Lament Blade pieces are obtained as a single drop, and it’s one th

Destiny 2 Abandoned Bunker Location | Find Eventide Ruins bunker for Lost Lament quest

One of the last stops on the Lost Lament quest in Destiny 2 is finding an abandoned bunker. The Blade of Broken Dreams step asks players to find and explore an abandoned bunker in the Eventide Ruins but doesn’t give any other clues on how to complete the objective. Fortunately, this is an easy goal to achieve once one knows the bunker’s location. The key to finding the abandoned bunker in Destiny 2 is to not think too hard about it. This task requires less effort than finding the dead Exos or t

The Pathless Review | 'Does nothing to carve its niche amongst its peers'

The Pathless review for PS5, PS4, and PC. Giant Squid scored critical acclaim with its first game Abzu. The simplistic narrative and gameplay of that title, and the success that stemmed from it, influenced the studio’s latest title, The Pathless. This time around, players must go a bit more hands-on, as The Pathless takes more influence from Breath of the Wild than it does from Abzu’s spiritual predecessor Journey. Unfortunately, The Pathless overly relies on “artsy” conventions in its design a

Demon's Souls PS5 Review | 'Not as lauded as its successor, but no less timeless'

Demon’s Souls isn’t as lauded as its successor, but it’s no less timeless. The PS5 remake from Bluepoint Games is my first time playing through the game that started it all, and it’s now my favorite of the series. It’s a leaner experience and is split into five linear worlds that focus the player toward a goal. However, the fact that the player can change between these worlds, and the levels that make them up, freely makes Demon’s Souls infinitely more approachable than Dark Souls, Bloodborne, o

Sackboy: A Big Adventure Review | 'Competence doesn't equal a classic'

It seems like a rule that every console needs a platformer as a launch title, and the PS5 has Sackboy: A Big Adventure. For this game, Sackboy moves up to 3D, and the world is pre-created. It’s a cute, run-of-the-mill 3D platformer that makes for a family-friendly intro to the PS5, and there’s even a PS4 version for those who aren’t ready (or aren’t able due to supply issues) to move up to Sony’s latest console yet. Unlike the series Sackboy originated in, Little Big Planet, there’s no user-cre

Can PS5 use Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HLG?

One would hope the PS5 would support the latest HDR standards. The console is HDMI 2.1-capable and should be equipped to handle HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG. Unfortunately, things are a bit complicated when it comes to how the PS5 handles High Dynamic Range and Wide Color Gamut standards. Is the PS5 compatible with Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HLG? The PS5 is not currently compatible with Dolby Vision, HDR10+, or HLG. The only form of HDR that the console can use for video or games is standard H

Observer: System Redux Review | 'Incredibly relevant for 2020'

Observer is my favorite Bloober Team title to date, and it’s hard to believe it’s been three years since it was released. The Polish cyberpunk dystopia still haunts me with its oppressive, lonely atmosphere, and unrelenting body horror. Its simple setting, a rotting, dilapidated Krakow apartment building in 2084, unfurls into a spiderweb of narratives that players must navigate as KPD detective Daniel Lazarski. Despite being a striking game in its 2017 release, Observer wasn’t without issue. As

Black Ops Cold War Endings Explained | How to get Good, Bad, and Worst endings

There are multiple endings in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, but all of them leave players with unanswered questions. Players can get a “good” and “bad” ending, as well as a “worst” ending.

Black Ops Cold War PS4 Controller Disconnect Fix

PS4 players are having a frustrating time making their way through Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War‘s campaign. A controller bug can occur on PS4 when starting the third campaign mission, “Fractured Jaw” (although some players have reported it occurring when starting the fourth mission or even during multiplayer) that causes the DualShock 4 to disconnect and shut off. This error prevents players from decrypting the floppy disk, finding the three suspects, or seeing the ending. Unfortunately, a

Demon's Souls | How to beat the Red Eye Knight

When players first meet a Red Eye Knight in Demon’s Souls, it will be much too powerful to beat. During the initial trip through the Boletarian Palace, players will encounter a Red Eye Knight guarding a bridge that looks innocuous.

Very early on, Demon’s Souls players will notice that the most common healing items, Crescent Moon Grass, doesn’t restore full health.

The PS5 is designed to use compatible solid state drives as expandable storage. While the PS5 doesn’t support an expansion hard drive at launch, even when the feature is enabled, not just any m.2 drive will work. A compatible hard drive must meet several criteria to work.
