Crytek’s free-to-play shooter ‘Warface’ heads to beta, again

By

For a free-to-play game that was already released in Russia well over year ago, Crytek is being remarkably protective of its upcoming FPS Warface. Crytek announced at Gamescom that the shooter – which, it bears repeating, was released in 2012 in Russia – will enter another closed beta. Even though there is no release timeframe and the game already had a closed beta that began in January, Crytek claims this will be the “final phase of beta testing.” For the game that was already released in 2012.

Fans looking to get in on the action (that aren’t in Russia and already in the action) can sign up now at www.Warface.com for the beta (or would it be a gamma testing session at this point… maybe delta?). It is open to residents of North America, Europe, and Turkey.

With only six skill slots and a bevy of Pictos and Luminas to choose from, finding the right build for your party members can start to feel like a hefty task. If you're unsure what the best builds are for each character in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, here are our recommendations based on plenty of gameplay experience.

Fighting a Burgeon in Clair Obscur Expedition 33.

One of the first big bosses you can fight in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 are the hulking Burgeons. These creatures are as tall as skyscrapers and can be difficult to fight at the start of the game when you're more under-leveled and don't have the proper combat builds.

Oblivion Remastered looks great, but the grass isn’t greener on the other side
A hand blast a monster with an ice spell in Oblivion Remastered.

Before this week, I had only ever experienced The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion through YouTube videos. I couldn’t tell you a single thing about the RPG’s plot, but I can tell you all about the absurd deaths of its NPCs at the hands of emergent gameplay systems going haywire. I could tell you about the blooper line reads that were left in the game. I could tell you about all the bugs that created some of the funniest video game content I’ve ever seen. I loved Oblivion as much as I think you can love a game you haven’t played, but probably not for the reasons Bethesda hopes for. 

To me, Oblivion’s legacy is comedic chaos.
