Red Dead Redemption 2 is a massive game stuffed with lots of detail. It can feel overwhelming at first, and part of the reason why is because the game doesn’t tell you everything you need to know.

We’ve spent a lot of time with Rockstar’s open-world PS4 and Xbox One game, and in a new video feature, GameSpot’s Jess McDonell walks you through a number of tips and details that the game doesn’t tell you–and that you need to know.

In the video, Jess covers things like how to find side-missions, why it’s important to keep an eye out for rising smoke trails, and the importance of keeping your Arthur fed and happy. Jess also covers things like where to sell stolen goods, why it’s effective to do a barrel roll in combat, and the importance of calming a wild horse down before trying to saddle up.

The video goes much further, helping explain things like what you can do at the Gunsmith, how RDR2 connects to the first game, the best ways to hunt, and how to tailor the HUD to provide the best experience possible.

Be sure to watch the full video above to get all the important details, as it also covers things like fishing 101, the morality and honor system, and plenty more. For more on RDR 2, check out GameSpot’s review and all of our previous coverage here.

A final Nintendo Direct focused on the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate introduced a whole new mode, which pairs hand-in-hand with its revised way to include beloved characters from a wide variety of new and retro video games. The new “Spirits” system replaces Trophies, letting the company give power-up attributes to still artwork rather than attempt to render 3D models of every character it wishes to reference.

You earn Spirits by battling in Spirits Mode, and then they can be used to buff your character. The Spirits come in two varieties: Primary Spirits, which mostly have stat increases, and Support Spirits, which attach to Primary Spirits and imbue you with special skills or abilities. Spirits are ranked by rarity: Novice, Advanced, Ace, and Legend. They also come in three power types: Attack (Red), Grab (Green), and Shield (Blue), in a rock-paper-scissors circle of vulnerabilities.

The presentation showed dozens of Spirits rapid-fire style and with some attributes obscured by the various menus. While this list isn’t complete, it shows several of the Spirits shown so far, with their special attributes, color affinity, and rarity. Check out the list to see just how deep Nintendo is reaching with its references.

It’s November, which means a new set of PC games is available for free to anyone with an Amazon Prime account. All you have to do is link your account to Twitch, and you’ll get a new batch of PC games for free each month. The number of free games varies, but this month you can download four games at no additional cost.

The biggest title on the list is Overcooked, a game that involves up to four players working together to prepare meals as orders come in. Each level takes place in a different kitchen, and as you progress the layouts become less and less hospitable for cooking. For instance, one level is set on a slippery iceberg and another on a busy street.

Not to be confused with Overcooked is Overload, the next free game for November. It’s an exploration-based first-person shooter that’s set in zero gravity. Then there’s AER: Memories of Old, an adventure game that takes place on a series of islands that are floating in the sky. Luckily, you can turn into a bird to travel between them. Rounding out this month’s freebies is the 12th century point-and-click adventure game The Pillars of the Earth.

You can claim all of these games here, but note you’ll need the Twitch desktop app for Windows to download them. While you’re on the site, make sure to grab any other free items for Prime members you might have missed, including cowboy gear for PUBG and a Golden Loot Box for Overwatch.

Twitch Prime’s Free Games For November 2018

• Overcooked
• Overload
• AER: Memories of Old
• The Pillars of the Earth
