How to open Prowler Stashes in Spider-Man 2

The Prowler, aka Miles Morales’ uncle, has hung up his hood and retired from his life of crime by the time Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Even so, after a talk with Miles, it is revealed that he left quite a few stashes of materials around the city that, since he is under house arrest, he can’t access anymore. Rather than let them go to waste, you’re sent out to collect these little resource caches to use for yourself. These are an easy way to earn yourself some Rare Tech Parts, but the Prowler didn’t just leave them out in the open. Here is a breakdown of how you can access Prowler Stashes in Spider-Man 2.

Once you get into the area where a Prowler Stash is, the hunt begins. The first step is locating the stash, which is camouflaged, so you need to use your mask to track it down. By holding down L2, you can scan the area and follow the sounds until you narrow down the correct spot. You have to aim at the right spot and be close enough to reveal it.

From there, you need to reveal the hidden area by opening up a secret area with your webs. Depending on how the door opens, you need to position yourself either to the side or above it to attach your webs to pull it open. Unlike normal yanking doors, these require you to hold both L2 and R2 at different pressures against the resisting triggers to keep them within the yellow zones of the bars on the screen. Once both are in position, you have to hold them there for a couple of seconds before you finally swing it open. This usually has to be done one more time to open a second door, but the method is exactly the same.

Once all the doors are open, you can stroll in and collect your loot to unlock some sweet upgrades.

Spider-Man 3: everything we know so far

There were still some loose threads left hanging after the end of Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 that begged for a sequel. Besides also being one of the best superhero games of all time, these games are easily two of the best PS5 games you can play so another entry was always assumed to be coming just like Ghost of Yotei. We know that a Wolverine game is also in the works, but Spider-Man 3 might not be as far down the list of upcoming PS5 games as you might think. We've used our spider senses to web up all the details there are so far about Spider-Man 3.

While a lot isn't known about this game, we do know it won't be on our lists of upcoming Xbox Series X games or upcoming Switch games lists, but there are plenty of games coming to those platforms you should read up on.

How long is Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii?
Goro Majima in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

The Like a Dragon games tend to be very lengthy experiences. Ever since turning into JRPGs with 7, they have gotten even longer with Infinite Wealth clocking in anywhere between 40 and 100 hours depending on how addicted to Dondoko Island you get. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a spinoff starring Goro Majima taking to the high seas as a pirate, but also takes the game back to its action combat roots. There is still a highly dramatic story, quirky side stories, and plenty of mini games and side activities to be found. But is this game smaller in scope than the mainline games? Here's how long you can expect to spend pirating around Hawaii in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
How long is Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii?

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is considerably shorter than the last several Like a Dragon games. If you were to play the game somewhat normally, doing most of the side stories, mini-games, and other side activities as we did, then you can expect the adventure to wrap up in around 25 hours or so. On the other hand, if you wanted to just focus on mainlining the story then you could theoretically beat the game in around 15 hours. That's by no means short, but still a big difference compared to past games.

How long is Lost Records: Bloom and Rage?

Don't Nod, along with TellTale, helped reinvent the adventure game genre with its Life is Strange series. The games focused more on storytelling and characters than action or shooting. The latest game in the genre is Lost Records: Bloom and Rage, a new story split between a group of friends in the '90s and 27 years later. Unlike Life is Strange, Lost Records: Bloom and Rage is only split into two parts rather than four or five. If you're concerned that will make this game only half as long as usual, we'll be sure to give you a more reasonable estimate on just how long it takes to beat this story-driven adventure.

While Lost Records: Bloom and Rage is available on Xbox and PC, you can get it as part of your PlayStation Plus subscription if you have the Extra or Premium tier.
