Hey, fellow gamers!
Brace yourselves for a wild ride through today's biggest gaming news!
We apologize for the continued reduced articles due to the holidays. We are eagerly awaiting the return to regular coverage in the new year!
In the meantime, we are taking this opportunity to showcase some of our premium membership perks, like read times and summarized blurbs, to demonstrate the benefits of our Paid Level Up Users when news flow normalizes. We aim to provide maximum value to our loyal readers.
Now, onto today's latest tidbits:
⚔️ Escape from Tarkov’s 0.14 update adds new guns and long-requested jumping functionality expanding tactical options. This is all moving towards the 1.0 launch of the game in the near future. Battlestate Games continues to inch towards this goal and we see how they plan on doing this starting with this much needed update.
🛡️ Our review of indie hack-and-slash Hammerwatch II on Switch finds it has potential but currently feels like an unfinished draft lacking polish. Combat shows promise but overall it does not hold up against stronger examples in the genre quite yet.
