Remnant 2 has proven to be a massive hit since launch, and players are scouring the game to find all the secrets. While the game is rather unique, players who are finishing it up and looking to move on to the next game have quite a few options. We have gathered a list of video games similar to Remnant 2 that might scratch a similar itch.

Remnant: From the Ashes

This one might feel a little bit like an obvious choice, but there’s a definite chance that not everyone was aware of the first one before the sequel blew up. There’s a decent amount of crossover between the two games, as the Ward 13 characters are in both.

Top 10 Easiest PS5 Games for Trophies & Platinums in 2023 So Far https://twinfinite.net/features/top-easiest-ps5-games-for-trophies-platinums/ https://twinfinite.net/features/top-easiest-ps5-games-for-trophies-platinums/#respond Fri, 04 Aug 2023 00:51:17 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=971103 Some enjoyable games and trophy lists.]]>

2023 has seen plenty of PlayStation releases, and trophy hunters have been well-fed. However, there are certainly better games than others regarding easy (and fun trophies). We have looked through the games we have played and the trophies we have earned to bring you this list of the easiest trophies and platinum of 2023.

Dead Island 2

Dead Island 2 was a surprise hit, considering it came over a decade since the first game in the series. You get to choose between six characters, all with different playstyles. It not only gives you a lot of L.A. (Hell-A) to explore with a friend, but the trophies are also fun to unlock. Most come naturally as you adventure through zombie-infested streets and take out lots of zombies.

Every Video Game Delay in 2023 So Far https://twinfinite.net/features/every-video-game-delay-2023-so-far/ https://twinfinite.net/features/every-video-game-delay-2023-so-far/#respond Mon, 31 Jul 2023 13:00:26 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=965599 What game did you expect to pick up this year that wasn't ready?]]>

While it’s hard to say if this year has been above or below average for video game release date delays, there have definitely been quite a few. This can be attributed to many factors, but it still stings when a game you look forward to gets pushed back. It can also be difficult to keep track of the many game delays we have had, so we have created a list to help you keep track.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League provides a twist to usual comic book stories by making everyone’s favorite heroes the villains. While usually, the Suicide Squad is sent on smaller missions, this time, they must free Metropolis from a Justice League turned bad. This means fighting the Man of Steel and Batman directly.

Remnant 2 on PS5

I was a massive fan of Remnant: From the Ashes because too many third-person shooters attempt to borrow Soulsborne ideas with poor execution. The first Remnant offered something unique in a campaign full of planets you could reroll at any time, wiping the slate clean and starting over. Remnant 2 carries the ideas of the first game forward in meaningful evolutions.

Remnant 2 starts with your created character walking through a post-apocalyptic Earth with your best friend Cass. You are on the search for Ward 13 but aren’t sure the concept isn’t just an urban legend. After a trek too far into Root territory, you are both set upon and overwhelmed by enemies.

As we head toward the end of July, it is time to consider what next month offers. That’s right; we’re talking about the PlayStation Plus Essential games! We have a decent idea of what might be available next month, and we’d love to share our thoughts and predictions with you. We will find out together around July 27 because PlayStation usually reveals the PS Plus games on the last Thursday of the month.

Shadow Warrior 3

This third adventure of Lo Wang takes players on yet another adventure where he has to save the world with crude jokes, a katana, and tons of bullets. While it ditches the looter shooter aspects from Shadow Warrior 2, there is still no lack of weaponry to try out in defeating the hordes of enemies in style. If you’re worried about neglecting your backlog, sources say the game’s story only takes five to seven hours to beat.

While Fortnite has made plenty of merchandise deals, this new one is more specific to music fans. Epic Games is teaming up with Iam8bit to produce a Best of the Lobby vinyl. It will feature 18 Fortnite lobby tracks that players have been rocking out to while waiting for matchmaking to start. However, we noticed it doesn’t include the lobby tack ever made: Llama Beat (also called Llama Bell).

For those who may be unaware of this tune, YouTuber VazzyCow created a great music video so everyone can know exactly what they are missing out on.

While we’re still a bit away from the spooky season, it’s never too late to prepare for it. If you’re a fan of horror games or want a gaming experience that will keep you on your toes, the PS5 library has some solid choices. It might be hard to sort through the PlayStation Store if you aren’t looking for something specific, so we have gathered a list of the top 10 best horror games the PS5 offers.

The Quarry

This spiritual successor to Until Dawn takes players to a remote summer camp deep in the woods of Hackett’s Quarry. The start of the game teases a monster on the campgrounds and then fast forwards to the last day of camp. Due to one counselor’s wish for his summer fling to continue, their transport is sabotaged. This strands the counselors overnight at the camp without knowing what awaits them when the sun goes down.

Aliens: Dark Descent Review – Chestbursting With Excitement https://twinfinite.net/reviews/aliens-dark-descent-review/ https://twinfinite.net/reviews/aliens-dark-descent-review/#respond Tue, 27 Jun 2023 13:00:00 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=960302 Face hugs and doesn't let go.]]>

Aliens: Dark Descent for PS5

Aliens is one of those properties that has been adapted into all sorts of games. There’s been survival horror, a third-person shooter like Left 4 Dead, and an underwhelming first-person shooter. Tindalos Interactive sought to try something new by crafting a squad-based real-time strategy game that works incredibly well in the universe.

The story starts with a small act of sabotage aboard Pioneer Station. Someone posing as an engineer knocks out a worker at a terminal and opens several containers housing Xenomorphs and their eggs. Deputy Administrator Maeko Hayes is the first to notice something is amiss. She arrives at the hangar as a vessel tries to leave the nearby planet Lethe’s orbit, presumably carrying dangerous Xemomorphs onboard.

The Pokemon Twitter Account Is Teasing… a Team Rocket Clothing Line https://twinfinite.net/news/the-pokemon-twitter-account-is-teasing-a-team-rocket-clothing-line/ https://twinfinite.net/news/the-pokemon-twitter-account-is-teasing-a-team-rocket-clothing-line/#respond Wed, 14 Jun 2023 16:01:34 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=957414 Represent Team Rocket while staying comfortable.]]>

At first glance, it seems that the official Pokemon Center Twitter account might be facing a little trouble from a certain crime syndicate. Up to their usual nefarious tricks, this takeover is bringing a Team Rocket clothing line to the Pokemon merchandise shop. The whole line is referred to as the Team Rocket HQ Collection. If you want to casually rep one of anime and gaming’s most notorious gangs, here’s your opportunity.

It all started with a tweeted video that revealed a critical malfunction before showing the vibrant ‘R.’ Up to their expected dirty tactics, it appears they are on some recruitment kick and want to spread their influence. To the credit of this merchandise, there’s no better way to show your true affiliations while playing Pokemon GO in public.

Microsoft Met With Another Roadblock in Activision Blizzard Acquisition https://twinfinite.net/news/microsoft-met-with-another-roadblock-in-activision-blizzard-acquisition/ https://twinfinite.net/news/microsoft-met-with-another-roadblock-in-activision-blizzard-acquisition/#respond Mon, 12 Jun 2023 21:36:58 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=956662 Stopped a little bit before the goal line.]]>

Last December, the United States FTC (Federal Trade Commission) sued Microsoft over the Activision Blizzard acquisition. The lawsuit was to get the acquisition before an internal administrative law judge, but it has gone a step further. The lawsuit isn’t enough to outright halt the deal, it seems. A July 18 deadline is fast approaching, which would somewhat force the merger due to related contracts. To impede this, sources say the FTC plans to file an injunction that would bring it to a dead stop.

According to sources close to CNBC, this injunction hasn’t been filed yet but is coming in the near future. At the time of the lawsuit announcement, the FTC’s official reasoning was “the $69 billion deal, Microsoft’s largest ever and the largest ever in the video gaming industry, would enable Microsoft to suppress competitors to its Xbox gaming consoles and its rapidly growing subscription content and cloud-gaming business.”

First Star Wars Outlaws Gameplay Reveals the Newest Franchise Scoundrel https://twinfinite.net/news/first-star-wars-outlaws-gameplay-reveals-the-newest-franchise-scoundrel/ https://twinfinite.net/news/first-star-wars-outlaws-gameplay-reveals-the-newest-franchise-scoundrel/#respond Mon, 12 Jun 2023 18:28:16 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=956549 Taking on a few heists in a galaxy far, far away.]]>

Ubisoft shared a gameplay walkthrough of its upcoming open-world Star Wars game, Star Wars: Outlaws, during its ‘Forward’ livestream today.

Kay Vess is one of the franchise’s trademark scoundrels looking for her freedom in Star Wars Outlaws. Her journey will take her across the galaxy to planets previously unseen in the franchise. Accompanied by only her companion Nix, she must do what she needs to survive. The game takes place between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Starfield Special Edition Will Include the Game’s Special Watch https://twinfinite.net/news/starfield-special-edition-will-include-the-games-special-watch/ https://twinfinite.net/news/starfield-special-edition-will-include-the-games-special-watch/#respond Sun, 11 Jun 2023 19:13:04 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=956036 Probably incredibly pricey, but undeniably cool.]]>

While most players will likely enjoy Starfield purely through Game Pass, there will be a treat for those willing to buy the game’s special edition. It was revealed that players who buy the special Constellation Edition will get a recreation of the character’s Chronomark watch when the game releases on Sept. 6

In the game, the watch is how players get information regarding climate, temperature, and oxygen levels. On your actual wrist, you can link it to your phone and use it as a smartwatch that will track certain things about you. Based on the picture, the watch will track things like acceleration, gravity, pressure, temperature, and magnetic field. As crazy as this sounds, it’s pretty much like owning the Starfield version of the Pip-Boy.

Starfield Gameplay Deep-Dive Will Rocket All Hype Into Orbit https://twinfinite.net/news/starfield-gameplay-deep-dive-will-rocket-all-hype-into-orbit/ https://twinfinite.net/news/starfield-gameplay-deep-dive-will-rocket-all-hype-into-orbit/#respond Sun, 11 Jun 2023 18:34:26 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=956009 IF you thought Starfield looked incredible before, you ain't seen nothing yet.]]>

Every Bethesda RPG has been massive, but they all take place within a single world. Starfield is breaking that entirely. This ambitious space game will let players visit “over a thousand worlds.” Between red planets, stormy planets, and snowy planets, each world offers something unique with flora and fauna. If you land on a planet with a moon in the distance, you can visit that moon if you choose. Everything you see is somewhere you can explore (probably not including the sun, though).

Each system’s star also plays a huge part in how they are experienced. Bethesda’s next-generation lighting model uses “real-time global illumination to light the world based on the type of star and the make up of the planet’s atmosphere.” Not every star is the same, so lighting from planet to planet will certainly vary.

Forza Motorsport Takes to the Racetrack This October https://twinfinite.net/news/forza-motorsport-takes-to-the-racetrack-this-october/ https://twinfinite.net/news/forza-motorsport-takes-to-the-racetrack-this-october/#respond Sun, 11 Jun 2023 18:02:04 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=955977 Put the pedal to the metal for that first place finish.]]>

Forza Motorsport has been one of the most consistent racing franchises since the Xbox 360. Not only does it give you the best graphics, but it gives plenty of variety, especially with the Forza Horizon series. While it’s less open-world, the Forza Motorsport line brings high-octane racing and lets players feel what it’s like to drive some powerful machines. The adrenaline still exists, even though they have ditched the number for this iteration. You can put the pedal fully down on Oct. 10 for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and it’s coming to Game Pass.

The trailer gives a cockpit view of a modern Corvette, and it’s been stunningly recreated to maximize immersion. If you want some of the strongest racetrack experience in gaming, it looks like Forza Motorsport will be exactly where to find it.

The crew is back for new jobs in the bank robbery simulator, Payday 3. Once again, developer
Starbreeze Studios asks you to team up in a group of four to take on even the most difficult bank jobs. While these games have never been free of cop interference, it’s only getting more intense. Payday 3 looks to take the risk/reward factor into the next step. It will come to Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Game Pass on Sept. 21.

Of course, jobs are never expected to go smoothly, so new tools and equipment will be available for thieves. The trailer reveals at least one small deployable turret that might help keep the opposition off your back. Plus, plenty of weaponry to fight back against riot shield-wielding SWAT teams.

Keeping with Devolver Digital’s aim to make their livestreams surreal industry commentary, they brought out Volv-E. This robotic version of their fictional Volvy mascot was used to lampoon AI-generated projects. When prompted to create an open-world shooter with wizards, Wizard With a Gun was created.

While it is much more action-focused, the game’s style seems similar to Don’t Starve and Cult of the Lamb. Though, based on all the gameplay, monsters need to be much more worried about you. There’s a heavy emphasis on base building, whereas different machines let you create different guns and augment bullets. Each gun has a variety of bullets that can be created, and all offer various benefits.

We’re only 14 or so hours away from the release of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3, but Summer Game Fest has brought an early look. Usually, the new trailers release when the servers go offline to start the update, but that’s not the case here. The cinematic trailer has given a decent look at new features coming to the Chapter 4 Season 3 island.

The first important thing to know is that the island’s center has collapsed entirely. The earthquakes felt this season led to this, and they weren’t just for show. The collapse has also revealed a temple that a squad of loopers explores. As it turns out, the temple has a connection to Cybertron, and Optimus Prime is inside. He gives the team a smaller Optimus Prime to fight alongside them. This is definitely the version of Optimus that players will get through the battle pass.

Sign us up!]]>

If you’re a horror fan, there’s no way to avoid the seminal work of John Carpenter. He’s created some of the most iconic horror films, like the first three Halloween films and The Thing. Now, he is bringing his considerable talents to a new zombie apocalypse survival game called John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando.

Based on what is shown in the trailer, you won’t have to survive the apocalypse on foot. Instead, you will have a nicely outfitted humvee to get around. That gunner hatch on the top of the vehicle will be extremely useful.

Though the Sands of Time remake has been somewhat troubled, Ubisoft isn’t giving up on the franchise. Instead, the Summer Game Fest 2023 stream began with an action-filled trailer for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. While it might not be the announcement that we had been expecting, it’s definitely Ubisoft reminding fans of their greatest hit.

The gameplay trailer is certainly nostalgic, as it’s a return to one of the most iconic gaming figures with his pretty awesome dual swords. The trailer’s video description promises a blend of “parkour, combat, and puzzle-solving.” It’s also interesting that Ubisoft seems to be adding the “a Ubisoft Original” tag to their upcoming games.

Between mines, caves, and bunkers, the various Fortnite islands have never been shy about letting players journey under the surface of the map. However, most combat in the build modes takes players higher off the ground, not into it. The new teaser for Chapter 4 Season 3 suggests the new season will focus more on what’s under your feet.

Season three is dubbed Fortnite WILDS, and is set to ditch the metropolitan and cherry blossom biome for an expansive jungle. It doesn’t appear this is a natural change, though, and a teaser trailer shared by the official Fortnite Twitter account today suggests that a pretty big earthquake is coming. The last month of season two has featured plenty of earthquakes across the map, which apparently lead to this big one.
