Of all the games that have attempted to borrow ideas from the Pokémon franchise, none are quite as unique as Palworld. The basic concept of capturing and training adorable monsters is the same, but the world, survival elements, and guns all set it apart.

There’s a lot to dig into with this title, so grab your Pals to learn all the details about multiplayer. How to play Palworld with…

343 Industries While I once enjoyed jumping into a few matches of Halo or Street Fighter, lately I almost never engage with multiplayer titles. Where we once enjoyed a game’s multiplayer component for what it was and for as long as we found it fun, an ongoing industry push toward “live services” wants those titles to be our only games. Gone are the days of jumping in and playing a round or two of capture the flag or team deathmatch for a quick burst of fun before turning the game off. Games like Fortnite, Call of…

While consoles stole the spotlight for a while by allowing multiple people to easily play on one system together, PCs have always taken the lead in providing players with the most options for multiplayer gaming. Most of the time, people come to PCs for competitive action, and there are a ton of options for those looking to go head-to-head in just about any genre imaginable, but there’s also a wealth of high-quality and unique experiences that focus on cooperation. PC gamers…

Most of the time in BattleBit Remastered, you’ll probably be more focused on just trying to survive than anything else. This massive first-person shooter takes all the best elements of the Battlefield franchise, such as the giant, destructible maps, class system, and a strong emphasis on teamwork within squads. If you’ve been running with squads, you might have noticed yourself earning something called Squad Points as you play. These points are shared among your entire squad, and building them up is a great way to…

I used to do research in pretty esoteric math. When people politely asked about my work, I would deliver my prepared layman’s elevator pitch and then wait for the inevitable dreaded question: “How does that apply to the real world?” I would then try to appease them with the few stretch-use cases of my research, or some spiel about how basic mathematical inquiry is important because many modern technologies rely on abstruse math developed centuries ago by people who couldn’t have envisioned its applications. Anything to…

The Epic Games Store is celebrating Easter weekend with some free games. From now until Thursday, April 13, players can get Dying Light: Enhanced Edition for free on PC. Dying Light is a 2015 first-person survival game that has players killing zombies and parkouring around a city. The Enhanced Edition features extra content, including its 2016 expansion Dying Light: The Following. It’s a well-timed freebie considering that it was developed by Dead Island developer Techland, and a sequel to that game launches in just…

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 will reintroduce the iconic Intervention sniper — now known as the FJX Imperium. This sniper will feature fast aim down sights speeds, easy handling, and looks exactly like the Intervention sniper from 2009’s Modern Warfare 2. This news comes by way of a video shared by Charlie Intel, which features footage of the famous sniper in action, along with a new 6v6 map called Pelayo’s Lighthouse. The Intervention sniper is one of the most beloved Call of Duty weapons of all time.…
