The safe under the manager's desk has no code written on a Post-it note. It expects you to pay attention to the room around you, and the room has quite a lot to say.
MAY 29
The laundry room is locked, the code is hidden, and the game gives you just enough to work with. Fortunately, everything you need is a short walk away and clearly labelled once you find it.

CD Projekt Red has officially announced Songs of the Past, a third expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, co-developed with Fool's Theory and launching in 2027.
MAY 27
Question Hound has been sitting in a burning room for over a decade. This Is Fine: Maximum Cope finally asks him to do something about it, and the result is far better than anyone had any right to expect.
MAY 25
A beautiful world, a charming camper van, and a crafting loop that starts strong and gradually runs out of road. Outbound is fine, but fine is the most generous thing you can say about it.
MAY 25
The game never points you toward the Welcome Centre, but it is worth finding early. Powering it up takes a basic battery and a bit of preparation, and what is inside makes both worthwhile.
MAY 18
Your starting rations will not last long in Subnautica 2. The permanent solution is sitting right next to the first objective marker, and most players swim straight past it.
MAY 18
Your starting inventory in Subnautica 2 is tight. The first expansion is sitting in another lifepod less than 100 metres away, and it only takes a moment to grab.

OPUS: Prism Peak is the kind of game that reaches inside you quietly and rearranges your soul. By the time it is done with you, you will not quite be the same person who picked up the controller.
MAY 13
The terminal in Bridge Ops is locked behind a four-digit code, and the hint it gives you isn't a number at all. It's a word. You'll need to do a bit of alphabet arithmetic to crack this one.
MAY 12
The pantry door code in the Mess Hall in Directive 8020 is hidden in plain sight, but you won't find it unless you go looking in the right place.
