Risk of Rain 2 Early Access Review
Responsive third-person shooting, fun four-player co-op, and the promise of attaining roguelike godhood with distinctly flavorful items make it dangerously easy to play “just one more game” of Risk of Rain 2. There’s a lot to do even now in early access, like chase down game-changing unlocks and Easter eggs across the continuity of multiple runs, even if there are a few rough edges like online stability. I’m enamored with what’s already here, and am left eagerly awaiting what comes next for one my favorite co-op surprises this year.
Risk of Rain 2’s basic formula is straightforward and instantly gratifying: you and a team of up to three others crash onto the surface of a planet’s pleasantly stylized environment and fight your way through an unending onslaught of ever-more-challenging enemies to earn loot. Some of the rarest items, like the Brilliant Behemoth that adds an explosion to every attack, provide transformative effects that can take a build from great to straight-up-busted, in the most satisfying way. And, since there’s no limit on how many of a given item you can collect, the absurdity of what you’re able to luck into is both ridiculous and supremely fun.

This Minor Endgame Moment Is Actually Pretty Major
Warning! Full SPOILERS ahead for Avengers: Endgame!
Avengers: Endgame, the epic culmination of Marvel’s 22-film Infinity Saga, involves a major narrative time-jump for its characters, resurrecting those who fell in Avengers: Infinity War five years later.
The MCU timeline had generally been lined up with the year that an MCU movie came out. So that’s why the Battle of New York is definitively set in 2012, the year Marvel’s The Avengers was released. Of course, Spider-Man: Homecoming infamously mucked things up when it opened in 2017 by saying the Battle of New York happened eight years earlier, which would have set it in 2009 instead of 2012. And just to make things even more confusing, it turned out that Homecoming was actually set in 2016, the same year as Captain America: Civil War meaning the Avengers would have had to take place in 2008. But Endgame clearly reaffirms that the Battle of Manhattan took place in 2012 so Spider-Man: Homecoming messed up.
The Best Mortal Kombat 11 Easter Eggs And References We’ve Found (So Far)
The Deep Kuts of MK
Mortal Kombat loves itself some Mortal Kombat. Mortal Kombat 11 is essentially a love letter to the long-running and hyper-violent fighting game series. It wipes the slate clean with the use of time travel, allowing for some really fun nods to its storied past. Everything from character intros, acknowledgment of the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie, and even references to outside franchises are found throughout MK11.
Particularly, NetherRealm has become known for its efforts on the lore front and it shows in the plethora of lines of dialogue that call back to established character relationships and past story events. In addition to the wealth of returning characters and stages, Mortal Kombat 11 also features a new edition of the Krypt, allowing you to explore Shang Tsung’s island for the first time.
Below, we gathered some of the best (and strangest) Easter eggs and references we’ve found so far. Undoubtedly there will be ones we missed, so please post those in the comments below. We have the game covered from every angle, so be sure to check out our Fatalities compilation or roundup of Fatal Blows and Brutalities. If you’re still getting your feet wet, check out our MK11 beginner’s guide, and if you’re on the fence about jumping in, read our MK11 review-in-progress.
Avengers: Endgame’s Biggest WTF Questions
Full spoilers follow for Avengers: Endgame! If you haven’t seen the movie yet and don’t want to know what happens, jump in your Quinjet and get out of here now…
The culmination of 11 years of Marvel movies has arrived, and Avengers: Endgame doesn’t disappoint… in raising lots of questions! Yeah, yeah, yeah, it also doesn’t disappoint in giving fans a great send-off of the first decade of the MCU’s shared mythology. But again, lots of questions too!
Let’s break down the biggest, most puzzling bits from the film, and maybe explain a few as well along the way…
Who Was the Mystery Kid at Tony Stark’s Funeral?
Tony Stark’s lakeside funeral includes appearances by all of the surviving Avengers as well as Michelle Pfeiffer’s Janet Van Dyne, Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury, Cobie Smulders’ Maria Hill, Marisa Tomei’s Aunt May, William Hurt’s Thunderbolt Ross … and one particularly noticeable teenager who’s there all by himself. But who is he?
Days Gone Guide: Tips For Beginners
Knowledge is power.
The alluring wilderness of Days Gone, a facsimile of the beautiful Pacific Northwest, is filled with danger. Zombie-like freakers lurk in abandoned tunnels and in the ruins of towns, cowering, waiting for their next meal. A sole monster might surprise you while you’re rooting for crafting supplies–easy enough to handle–but you better be prepared for the throngs of undead that can (and will) appear when you least expect them.
You could head into the path of danger with your wits and reflexes alone, but how far that will get you is questionable–did we mention there are infected, barbed-wire-strapped bears to contend with? Instead of simply hoping for the best, consider these tips from GameSpot staff who’ve played the Days Gone and survived the worst.
Knowing that your motorcycle is your lifeline to civilization and key to escaping the most harrowing situations Days Gone has to offer, let’s get the most important tip out of the way: upgrade your bike’s fuel tank!
