NetEase Games Preview: Marvel Rivals, Once Human, FragPunk, and Rusty Rabbit

And the Terms Of Service and EULA issue, about the game asking for your government ID, address, and more personal details, is right to be met with some criticism. But NetEase has released a full statement on its privacy conditions, and generally a lot of this is par for the course for modern games. Still not brilliant, but the game isn’t spyware, at le

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 .

4: 3 seconds after the bastille status ends, the player will gain 1 stack of armor, up to 60 times. When in bastille status, each stack of armor grants the player a shield that equals 1% of their maximum health. When the shield's value is depleted to 0 while in the bastille status, the player’s vulnerability +

Once Human is a survival game, and like most survival games, there are a ton of mundane tasks that players must complete, like chopping down trees and mining gravel from rocks. Every player has to mine and chop quite a bit when they start out, before they can get Digby Boys to automate the proces

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.

Between each match, players can change any of these, but again, Fragpunk 's card system is its most unique element. Teams can invest in things like Big Head cards that make enemies easier to hit, cards that let teammates heal each other with bullets, health boosts, vampiric life drains, and more. Some cards are counterplay and cancel each other out, meaning that players have to be aware of their choices and what their opponents choose. Once all of this is selected, the match begins - and in this case, we were on the attacking side for the first three games (planting the bomb) and on the defensive side. We won the four matches, ending the game, but in play, it's very tactical. Its gameplay feels slower than Overwatch 2 but more tactical as a result, and it's worth noting that characters have 3 abilities, none of which are "ultimates." They have limited uses in each match, so players must select how and when to use them for the tactical advantage, creating fun and tense mome

For example, The Punisher is pretty easy to learn and master, but Spider-Man is much more difficult to learn in Marvel Rivals . This lets players know how much time they need to dedicate to any hero, and how hard it'll be to play them in the long run. Of course, this same data confirms how good of a hero Spider-Man is and, if someone is good with Spider-Man, they are capable of mind-blowing high-level players. It not only informs someone trying to learn this hero what to expect, but what to expect if they encounter one on the sci fi survival Games

We can speculate on how Once Human will handle these seasonal wipes - as I understand it there’s new content introduced, new mobs, new zones, and so on - but until I see it in action, I will enjoy the game in this six-week chunk and judge it on this experience. That’s fine by me. It’s free-to-play. And I will play—for many, many more hours. Depending on how much is wiped when the first season rolls over, I may or may not be back for m

While you're tasked with hunting Deviations and uncovering the mysteries of the region, you'll also need to keep yourself in top shape in order to survive. Hunger is an important stat to keep track of, and the most nutritious food doesn't last forever.

Performance has been fine for me, but then I’ve got a top-of-the-range computer. A few players have reported high CPU temps for the game, as well as stuttering and rubberbanding. Again, the game is free-to-play, so the best way to check the performance is to try

Going hungry in Once Human will take a toll on your health. You won't be able to recover health points over time if you reach the point of starvation . That being said, it's good to have food in your bag when you're out exploring.

Players can earn XP and level up from running (or riding) around the map completing the main story, taking on side missions, finding fuel for their vehicles , or just checking out all the loot the world has to of

The underlying fear means that whenever I find someone else in the open world, I latch onto them. It doesn’t matter what task I’m doing, I’m just gonna follow this other person. Companionship is safety. We might not speak the same language, but in this moment, we’re just two weirdos with butterflies in our backpacks, killing zombies and collecting loot. I’m on a PvE-only server, so thankfully no one can shoot me on sight. I like this. In truth, Once Human is a game best enjoyed with some friends, but thankfully, there’s usually someone else running around completing tasks alongside
