Dead Cells alpha pc update

2018 has had some excellent AAA releases throughout the year, but it’s easy to forget that there has also been some excellent indie games that should not be overlooked. One such game is Dead Cells, a “roguevania” from Motion Twin that is one of the more unique games to release in some time.

Now the developers have released a new Alpha update on Steam, and it definitely changes things up over the base game. The first big change is the fact that bosses no longer drop legendary weapons when defeated, as they will instead drop a random weapon and skill. Considering that the legendary drops from bosses are what made the subsequent biomes and bosses more bearable, this should ramp up the difficulty considerably. The Time Keeper boss has also been tweaked to be more of a challenge.

Another major change is that enemies will no longer scale to the number of scrolls you’ve picked up, meaning that you can pick up as many scrolls as you want without fear of enemies becoming ridiculously strong. This aspect of the game resulted in players having to be much more strategic in the scrolls that they picked up, so it will be very interesting to see how this will impact subsequent playthroughs.

Some changes have also been made to the game’s mutations, as the Sadism mutation has been removed entirely. The YOLO mutation is sticking around, but the developers have made a tweak to it that makes life a little harder for you. Instead of players being able to choose a new mutation once the YOLO mutation is used and disappears, the slot that you used for that mutation is now gone completely for that playthrough.

Dead Cells is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC. We loved the game when we covered it earlier this year, giving it an 8.8 in our review.

There hasn’t been much buzz surrounding Suicide Squad since its release in February. Warner Bros. was let down by the game’s underwhelming sales, but they remained committed to turning their live service vision into a reality. An exciting new DLC update has been released, introducing The Crown Prince of Crime to the game.

As the game’s first live season begins, players will have the chance to take on Green Lantern and, in the end, unlock The Joker as a playable character. Which Joker are you referring to? This is quite intricate. Furthermore, players can look forward to the inclusion of a Battle Pass, a variety of new shop items available for purchase, exciting Incursions and Strongholds to partake in, as well as an expanded selection of Infamy Sets and Notorious Gear to amass.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog. In addition, Fukushima will be included as a backdrop in the title’s beloved photography mode.
