Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is slated to hit the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC on August 23, 2016. Developed by Eidos Montral and Nixxes Software, the Square Enix-published game will be the sequel to 2011’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution. For PC gamers, this highly anticipated action role-playing stealth title will begin pre-loading on Steam starting Friday, August 19. Steam has also listed the hardware requirements for the game, getting customers ready for the upcoming monster hit arriving later this month.

According to the post, the minimum requirements consist of an Intel Core i3-2100 processor or an AMD equivalent, a Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 (2GB) or AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2GB) graphics card, 8GB of system memory, and 45GB of storage space. A 64-bit operating system is required spanning from Windows 7 SP1 and up.

As for the recommended specs, PC gamers will need the Intel Core i7-3770K or AMD FX 8350 Wraith processor, the GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon RX 480 graphics card supporting a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, 16GB of system memory, and 55GB of storage space. The 64-bit version of Windows 10 is the preferred operating system.

Note the recommended 16GB of memory. This is beginning to become the norm, as even the just-released No Man’s Sky has a minimum requirement of 8GB as well as the new Doom from Bethesda. Quantum Break has a recommended memory spec of 16GB too, indicating that the days of relying simply of 4GB are long gone. Surprisingly, the beautiful Witcher 3: Wild Hunt only needs 6GB of system memory. However, as Digital Trends previously reported, 8GB seems to be the sweet spot for now although that appears to be changing soon.

As for console owners, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is now pre-loading on the Xbox One and will begin pre-loading on the PlayStation 4 starting Sunday, August 21, at midnight. Sony customers who pre-order the $60 Digital Standard Edition through the PlayStation Store will receive an extra in-game mission, the Covert Agent Pack, a digital novella, a digital comic, a digital artbook, a special PS4 theme, and a soundtrack sampler. The bundle will officially launch on August 23.

For PC gamers, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will support eye-tracking features powered by the Tobii EyeX and the SteelSeries Sentry. This will allow players to aim with a simple gaze, to move the game’s camera by looking towards the edge of the screen, to easily move about within the game with a simple gaze, interact with NPCs, and more. The user interface will only be displayed when needed, providing a fuller view of the virtual environment. The $139 game/controller bundle can be pre-ordered here.

Review copies are already reportedly in circulation, with the embargo lifting six days from now. The game will take place two years after Human Revolution and an event called the “Aug Incident,” which saw mechanically augmented humans lose control and become highly violent. Naturally, the world now fears and hates individuals with augmentations. Thus, protagonist Adam Jensen will return as part of an Interpol-funded task force created to hunt down and capture augmented terrorists.

To pre-order your copy of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided on Steam, head here. There’s also a Digital Deluxe Edition bundle for $90, a Steam controller bundle for $90, and a Digital Deluxe bundle with the Steam controller for $120.

Is Manor Lords multiplayer or co-op?
A medieval market in Manor Lords.

You can easily lose hours designing your village and appeasing your citizens in Manor Lords all by yourself. There are so many different avenues to achieve victory, but the only competition or help you can normally find is in the form of NPCs. Other factions around the map can be helpful or harmful depending on how you play, but what if you wanted to team up with a friend to combine resources, or perhaps compete to see who can crush the other first? Many strategy and city builders thrive on multiplayer components, but does Manor Lords offer those same modes? Make sure you know the answer before making your purchase if that's your intention.
Is there multiplayer or co-op in Manor Lords?
To cut to the chase, the answer is no. Manor Lords is a purely single-player experience through and through. There are no cooperative or competitive modes in the game at all, so there's no way to interact with anyone else either on PC or console. This game was just released out of early access, and there is plenty of content on the way, however, we regret to inform you that multiplayer is not in the plans for the time being.

One developer took to the Steam forums to release an FAQ on the game. One question specifically asked if there is any multiplayer or cooperative gameplay in the game. The response said that "he focus is on a refined single-player experience, with no multiplayer or cooperative modes planned at the moment."

From the moment you begin your adventure in Fallout: New Vegas, you've already cheated death. Your first playthrough of the game should be done as the developers intended, though maybe with a couple of mods to make the experience a little smoother, but nothing that breaks the game.

There are a ton of commands you can input to manipulate your character, the world, objects, and more. Here's a full rundown of all the cheats there are and how to activate them.
How to enter console commands

How to get a gun in Another Crab’s Treasure
Kril has a gun

Another Crab's Treasure no doubt looks like a kid-friendly game, but hiding beneath its charming and cute exterior is a challenging soulslike experience that can test the mettle of genre veterans. Those who either can't or don't want to engage with such intense difficulty throughout this underwater adventure can make great use of a variety of assists. Among these is a rather shocking, but hilarious option that can completely negate nearly all of the game's challenge while providing some laughs along the way. Here's how to get a gun in Another Crab's Treasure.
How to get a gun
To give yourself a gun in Another Crab's Treasure, head over to the Settings menu. Navigate to Assist Mode at the bottom of the menu, then scroll to the bottom once more to a setting called Give Kril a Gun. Toggle this on, then back out and resume your game to find that Kril now has a massive pistol on his back in place of a shell.

This new gun on your back provides you with more than just a funny visual, though -- it actually allows you to shoot and kill any enemy in a single hit, nearly eliminating all of the challenge from the game. Additionally, if you're after trophies or achievements, the first time you shoot a crab with the gun will also unlock "This Kills the Crab."
