NetEase Games Preview: Marvel Rivals, Once Human, FragPunk, and Rusty Rabbit

As a level 13 polluted POI, High Banks is another great place for newish players to farm acid. And as with Brookham, the gear and weapon crates will provide useful loot for players of the correct level. And once again, high-level players will get little benefit from farming such a low-level POI and are better off just leaving it al

Stardust Source is a semi-rare resource that players will obtain in Once Human . Stardust Source can be used in various ways, but its main purpose is to calibrate weapons and armor via the Gear Workbench . Calibrating weapons is the most surefire way for players to upgrade their weapons and dish out more damage, making it a must-use feature to beat some of the toughest enemies in the game.

Once Human is a multiplayer open-world survival game , where players must scrap by to survive, face unique enemies, and take back their world. The map design is filled to the brim with content to engage with, while the general aesthetic is pretty immersive too. There's a lot to unpack in this game, something we couldn't truly do in our limited time with it. The combat flowed well, if not exactly something to write home about, but it did have a few unique qualities. Some enemies have mechanical elements they'll drop that we can then temporarily utilize like a weapon. That was a lot of fun. We worked on clearing an area, and we could have approached it stealthily. However, whenever we turned around, an enemy was behind us. There's a challenge to playing it this way, but it did seem viable at the very le

Pressing 'J' on a Weapons Workbench will also enable you to calibrate your gear . Using different materials, you'll be able to use calibration to improve your gear's stats for a certain number of levels.

Territory Deviations can help in managing your territory by collecting resources and speeding up machines . Gadget Deviations will grant you special abilities when used. There are also Furniture Deviations that can be placed on your base .

After fighting off these enemies, we ran into another SGF player who was checking the game out. We formed a party, and the devs took us to face a Nightmare Tubes Boss Summoning. This is where Once Human 's combat shined. The huge enemy was super dangerous, constantly forcing us to delve into cover and wait for the barrages to end. It would sometimes pop up to the top of the arena and let loose a dangerous flurry of bullets. Like enemies and their unique weapons from beforehand, it would sometimes drop a massive heavy machine gun we could then steal and unload on it with. At the same time, it would frequently summon adds to split our attention. The boss combat was a lot of fun that we went a little over time (we couldn't just end with it nearly dead!), but the boss combat put the exclamation point on this d

Alternatively, Greavard has one of the saddest Pokédex entries in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet , mentioning that this is the reborn spirit of a wild dog that never interacted with a human. There is much to learn about the world of Pokémon by reading Pokédex entries, and some of these bits of information actually reveal that there are species that were once human and somehow became twisted into creatures. A few of these are less impressive than others, but some are absolutely sinister – so much so that their entire existence lies in the fact that they were once hu

When the second Ice Age came, humanity left the world to its next apex creature - rabbits. The tale of Peter the Rabbit was interpreted in new ways, as the rabbits worked their way to the surface and built a new society. Of course, any post-apocalyptic game is going to have ne'er-do-well bandits, and in Rusty Rabbit , that's the BBs the players are part of (BB being used for comedic effect because no two rabbits could agree on what it meant). Either way, the protagonist, Stamp, is an old and grumpy man who is estranged from his daughter. That ties into him joining the BBs in their quest to explore Smokestack Mountain, an ancient structure that humans would use to send supplies into sp

Those who press F will be taken into the Wish Machine, where they gamble their Starchrom to earn special prizes . From here, players can select one of the different reward pools at the bottom of the screen. Once players have selected their desired prize pool, they can then press 'Play' to partake in a whack-a-mole-style minigame to earn Blueprints. Each successful whack will cost Starchrom , and players can play until they have either exhausted their Starchrom, or can simply back out whenever they want.

The Original Entity Kin is quite difficult to take down, as it boasts Silver Plague protection that nullifies most incoming damage. The best way to disable this protective barrier is through the use of explosives, Plasma Rounds, and Gatling Cannons. Once the boss's Silver Plague protection is removed, it will be more susceptible to standard weaponry. Defeating the Original Entity Kin for the first round will yield a hefty Starchrom reward , but players can also obtain Stardust's Advent by participating in the same Prime War once it's available again after a 10-minute cooldown.
