Elden Ring has been out a month, but From Software’s latest still “welcomes” hordes of newcomers every day. And while Eurogamer has a world class beginner’s guide to Elden Ring in written form, sometimes a video is just what you need. The video above, expertly put together by Aoife from the Eurogamer YouTube team, runs through the most basic systems that aren’t obvious in-game. Aoife covers everything from attributes to levelling, weapon scaling to equipment loads, magic use and even invincibility frames.The video also includes valuable information on Spirit Summons, the HUD, flasks, item crafting and more. It’s a wonderful…
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has allegedly enjoyed the greatest opening weekend for any video-game based movie. Ever. According to Comicbook, the sequel has clocked up an impressive $71 million – that’s £54.4m – since its premier on Friday; for context, the first Sonic the Hedgehog movie grossed $58m (£44m) on its opening weekend. Interestingly, this makes it Jim Carrey’s biggest domestic opener ever, eclipsing 2003’s Bruce Almighty which grossed $68m during it’s opening weekend in the States.

The Australian Classification Board has agreed to review its decision to ban RimWorld from sale. RimWorld, developer Ludeon Studios’ widely acclaimed sci-fi colony sim, was refused classification in Australia last month, preventing its release and effectively banning it from sale.
