Sure, higher quality effects – such as higher resolution shadows – also usually form part of the mix, but significant graphical improvements are few and far between. Mass Effect Andromeda is different: in common with several titles based on DICE’s excellent Frostbite engine, the PC really is the natural home for this game. However, even on full HD screens, image quality still gets a welcome boost over rendering natively at 1080p. Super-sampling down from 4K to 1080p leads to a smoother looking p

Mass Effect Andromeda Remnant Decryption puzzles are a regular occurrence as you’re exploring the game’s many Vaults and the Monoliths required to open them.

Mass Effect Andromeda Architects are some of the most challenging opponents in the game, and one you may have spotted already. If you’re after help for parts of the game, consult our Mass Effect Andromeda walkthrough and guide. When you fight them, the battle will cycle between three phases – shoot the legs, shoot the head, shoot the smaller Remnant – but how many times it repeats will depend on how much damage you can do. During the first phase, aim for the exposed pink areas on the Architect’s

This week’s Late to the Party is a day late. Not too busy to plan a preemptive strike against our siblings, mind, as this week’s episode will demonstrate. In this episode, Chris Bratt sat me down to play Dragon Age Oranges for the very first time. I mean, I think I was treated very unfairly there, but I suppose an RPG has to start somewhere. If you have any fond memories of Dragon Age Oranges, feel free to share them in the comments below.

Two years ago Google Maps added an April Fools’ Day East egg allowing the navigation software to play a round of Pac-Man. Now that gag has been reprised only with Ms. Pac-Man, because it’s 2017. Simply boot up the software on your mobile device or go to the web-based browser version and you’ll see a prompt to “insert coin”. Hit this and you’ll be whisked away to a random location with familiar pellets dotting the landscape as you guide Ms. Pac-Man on her merry, gluttonous way. This Bandai Namco-

Retired Argentine footballer Diego Maradona has threatened legal action against Konami over the use of his likeness in PES 2017. Maradona alleges that he never gave permission to the video game publisher to use his likeness in the game. “I heard yesterday that the Japanese company Konami uses my image for its game PES 2017. Maradona’s attorney Matias Morla tweeted what Google translated into: “PES 2017 illegally used the figure and name #Maradona we will action against #Konami with everything!”

Hearthstone’s next big expansion Journey to Un’Goro launches next week, and Blizzard has passed along a new card from the set to take an early look at. Un’Goro is a new Lost World-style set with a menagerie of extinct and mythical beasts to uncover. One of the most powerful cards in terms of attack and strength will be Tyrantus – a bloody great big dinosaur. Getting Tyrantus on the board early might take a while – although you could use a card like Y’Shaarj to speed things along. Journey to Un’G

Artwork for Destiny 2’s first two expansions point to them centring around two big parts of the series’ lore – Osiris and Rasputin. The artwork is available to view on Destiny 2’s Xbox.com store page, when viewing the game’s special edition. This edition includes a pass for both expansions – and it is this pass which fans think has identified what the expansions will be about. Osiris’ symbol – the black eye on a yellow background – points to the mysterious character whose followers hold the Tria

Yooka-Laylee will include its own version of the DK Rap – the infamous musical number from Donkey Kong 64 – which was revealed live on stage today at EGX Rezzed. The upcoming platformer – due to launch in less than a fortnight – is of course made by many of the talent behind Rare classics like Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo-Kazooie. Former Rare composer Grant Kirkhope, in particular, has worked extensively on Yooka-Laylee. The DK Rap was composed by Kirkhope nearly 20 years ago. Almost two decades lat

I dug the hell out of fact Thimbleweed Park evokes some serious Nightvale vibes, marrying humor with existential dread. I understood that our vitriolic pierrot was intended to be an ass and Thimbleweed Park doesn’t allow him to escape unscathed. When Thimbleweed Park works, it works beautifully. The two head down to the shambles of Thimbleweed Park, which once profited from the presence of an eccentric pillow magnate. In an epoch of virtual reality and blockbuster graphics, Thimbleweed Park is g

Game designer and writer Brenda Romero will receive the Special Award at this year’s BAFTAs. Alongside her husband, Doom creator John Romero, Brenda Romero co-owns Romero Games, which is based in Galway, Ireland.

A clearly delighted Brenda Romero said: “Genuinely, I am still in a state of shock, having been chosen. A huge number of games and game makers

Ubisoft has increased the amount of Steel For Honor gives out to players. One of the biggest complaints about the game is it’s stingy when it came to dishing out the in-game currency to players. As part of a patch issued yesterday, Steel income was increased across the board. Here’s how things have changed:All matches: Steel income are increased by 25 per centDaily Orders: Steel income are increased by 33 per centSide Orders: Steel income are increased by 50 per centCommunity Orders: Steel rewar

Total War: Warhammer 2 has been revealed at EGX Rezzed in London, with developers Creative Assembly promising a 2017 release date. We’re yet to see any gameplay, but the CGI trailer gives us a look at the three (or maybe four?) The High Elves, Dark Elves, Lizardmen all get plenty of screentime, before the trailer closes out with a blatant tease for the Skaven. I chatted to Creative Assembly ahead of this announcement, asking them about how this game will work alongside the first Total War: Warha

Struggling peripheral manufacturer Mad Catz has filed for bankruptcy, and all company directors have resigned. Mad Catz has been in financial trouble for some time. This was not entirely the fault of Mad Catz – Rock Band 4 itself failed to match sales of its predecessors, although Mad Catz had also taken on Rock Band 4’s global retail sales, plus promotion and distribution of the game as well as hardware bundles. Last June, Mad Catz announced it had suffered an enormous loss. “The Company has be

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild just received its first post-launch patch on Switch and it improves the game’s framerate. In true Nintendo form, the full v1.1.1 patch notes are amusingly vague and consist entirely of the following line:”Adjustments have been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.” Our tech experts at Digital Foundry will provide a full analysis on just how much this patch improves things early next week. In the meantime, I can say anecdotally that it definit
