Even though Indiana Jones and the Great Circle takes place in Indy's prime, he's still no soldier. You will be relying on stealth for the majority of the game in order to make it through since just a few bad blows, or one or two bullets, can knock your fedora off for good. You will find bandages to recover your lost HP after a fight, but you can only use them if you're lucky enough to survive that encounter. There are ways to give Indy a bit more life, but it will take a bit of work. Here are two ways you can increase your HP in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

How to temporarily increase your HP

The first way to buff your HP is only a temporary method, but much easier to do. As you are sneaking and scavenging around, pay attention to any food items you can find, such as bread and crackers. These will give you a temporary extra bar of life. However, some foods like fruit will buff your stamina instead, so pay attention to your diet.

How to permanently increase your HP

The only way to get a permanent HP boost in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is to find the Medicine Bottle collectibles and use them to upgrade your health by trading them for the Shaping Up Adventure Books. There are three of these books, each one costing 5, 10, and 15 Medicine Bottles for a maximum of three extra HP bars.

If you need help finding all these Medicine Bottle locations to buy these books, we have a full guide you can check right here.

How to unlock and use fast travel in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

shadows

The Assassin's Creed games have always been open-world titles that set you loose in a variety of historical locations. Assassin's Creed Shadows is no different, save for the introduction of the long-requested Japanese setting and dual protagonists. While you're earning XP and getting deeper into the game's story, it will become less and less viable to travel by foot or horse between objectives. That's where fast travel comes into play, but the system works slightly differently in this entry than usual. Here's how fast travel works in Assassin's Creed Shadows.
How to use fast travel

The core of the fast travel system in Assassin's Creed Shadows should be familiar to anyone who has played the series before. You will unlock viewpoints at set locations by climbing up to high points and synchronizing to give yourself a fast travel point, but there is another map marker you can use to fast travel as well. A new building called Kakurega are featured in most major towns and villages in the game that need to be unlocked by purchasing them with Mon. Once you do, they provide you with another fast travel point.

How to use the Friend’s Pass in Split Fiction

Zoe and Mio pose with dragons in Split Fiction.

Just like It Takes Two and A Way Out, Split Fiction is a co-op game where you have no choice but to play with a partner. This time around, though, the game is fully cross-platform so you can go through this adventure with a friend no matter where they are playing. As if that wasn't good enough, it also brings back the Friend's Pass that lets two players go through the game on their own systems with only one of them having to purchase the game. If you want to take advantage of this great deal, here's how the Friend's pass works.

How long is Split Fiction?

Zoe and Mio run through a sci-fi world in Split Fiction.

There are plenty of great co-op games on the market, and a lot are great for couples, but Split Fiction from Hazelight Studios is a special case. Unlike most multiplayer games, this one actually requires you to have a partner to play. Thankfully, that is easier than ever with cross-platform support and the Friend Pass, but it does mean you need to plan a bit more to make sure you both have enough time to see it through to the end. Each of the stuidio's games have gotten a bit longer, but is that the case with Split Fiction? Here's how long it takes to beat this co-op adventure.
How long is Split Fiction?

Split Fiction is roughly the same length as It Takes Two. From our experience, that puts it comfortably within the 10 to 12 hour range. However, that can easily be pushed to 12 to 15 hours depending on the skill level of both players and your ability to coordinate. Even a pair of veteran gamers who have never played a game as reliant on team work might struggle a bit early on and get slowed down.
