How do you increase your trust in Frostpunk 2? Trust is an important element in politics, relationships, and life in general, but perhaps we don’t know the half of it today, you know, in comparison to literally putting your life in the hands of your leader in a frozen wasteland in the 1920s. In Frostpunk 2, gaining and maintaining the implicit trust of your frostlanders once you've unlocked the Frostpunk 2 Council Hall is essential to continuing your rule and completing the story. More importantly, of course, it’s essential to keeping everyone alive and preventing dangerous riots and unruly protests in the city-building game.

Battlefield 3 is the greatest online FPS game I have ever played. Yes, I sank hours into the original Modern Warfare 2, and there have been times, over the years, that my performance in Counter-Strike might have been called ‘adequate,’ but Operation Metro, Seine Crossing, and Damavand Peak will always feel like home, not to mention BF3’s criminally underrated campaign. Composed of former Battlefield, Helldivers, and Star Wars Battlefront designers, a new studio has just unveiled its first-ever game, a fresh take on the online FPS that, for now at least, looks like precisely the reinvention that the struggling hero shooter genre badly needs. It’s called Heart Electric. Continue reading Ex Battlefield and Helldivers 2 devs unveil new FPS game, with a twist MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Best FPS games, Best multiplayer games, Best upcoming PC games

Fractal Design has just released a classy-looking new case that’s ideal for a mini gaming PC build. The new Fractal Era 2 features a similarly curvy design to the Era ITX case the company launched in 2020, but with a walnut panel on the top as standard, and some more room for components. In fact, there’s technically just enough room to squeeze an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition into this chassis, which is an amazing achievement for such a small case. Installing such a powerful GPU could push the limits of this mini case’s thermals, but with its Nvidia SFF-ready specification, this tiny new Fractal Design chassis is certified to work with several of the best graphics cards you can buy right now.

I'm an enchanter support main in League of Legends. I like buffing my ADC's attack damage as Nami, or speeding allies up as Janna; despite the role's squishiness, shielding and healing is where I thrive. But then you put me up against a Blitzcrank, or a Nautilus, and it all falls apart. One perfectly timed hook can yank me under tower, chunking my HP and, oftentimes, killing me entirely. It's an ability I like to use against others, but hate to be on the receiving end of, and having seen Supervive's take on it with new hunter, Kingpin, I'm genuinely terrified.

Image: Umar Shakir / The Verge The Tesla Cybertruck gets a lot of hate for its polarizing design and even more polarizing creator. However, the Cybertruck also appears to be extremely popular, more popular than all the other electric trucks on the market, and Elon Musk may end up laughing all the way to the bank. Tesla’s Cybertruck registrations in July almost match overall EV truck registrations in July, suggesting strong demand for the stainless steel low-poly truck, according to data from S&P Global Mobility (via Automotive News).
