Can’t find the Windrose Traveler’s Camp second chest? We couldn’t either… until we remembered a clue from another camp

In the co-op pirate survival game Windrose, players earn experience points (XP) by exploring islands and completing tasks, which include finding and opening treasure chests. The game map indicates the number of chests remaining at each location. During gameplay, the PC Gamer team found one chest at a Traveler's Camp but struggled to locate the second. A memory of a previous camp led them to search for trees with red scarves tied around them, which consistently marked the location of hidden chests. Digging at the base of these trees allowed them to successfully find the second chest at various Traveler's Camps.

‘Minecraft’ First Night Survival: 5-Minute Beginner Base That Stops Creepers Cold

New players in "Minecraft" survival mode face dangers from skeletons, zombies, and creepers on their first night. Essential tips for crafting a beginner base include gathering resources quickly, such as collecting 10-15 logs from trees to create a crafting table and wooden tools. Players should mine 10 cobblestone for stone tools and look for sheep or cows for food and wool. Choosing the right location for the base is crucial; ideal spots are flat plains near rivers with nearby trees. Players should avoid deserts and mountains due to structural weaknesses and navigation difficulties. A simple underground starter base can be created by digging a 4x4 hole three blocks deep, covering it with dirt or cobblestone, and illuminating it with torches to prevent mob spawns. Key items for survival include crafting a bed from wool and planks to set a spawn point and skip nights, as well as cooking food to restore hunger. Common pitfalls to avoid include leaving roofs open, not lighting areas, and forgetting to cook food. As dawn breaks, players should reinforce their base, plant crops, and explore for resources. Regularly gathering wood and torches prepares players for future challenges.

An hour with Pokopia suggests it’ll might be the best Pokémon spin-off ever – and it’s more Viva Pinata than Minecraft or Animal Crossing

Pokopia is a game that combines elements of Pokémon, Animal Crossing, and Minecraft. Players take on the role of a Ditto transformed into its former owner, focusing on attracting Pokémon by creating suitable environments rather than traditional capture methods. Each Pokémon has specific habitat preferences, and players must cultivate areas like long grass or set up gym-like environments to attract them. As Pokémon join the player's island, they provide abilities that enhance gameplay, such as Bulbasaur teaching Leafage and Squirtle teaching Water Gun. Players also work on revitalizing dilapidated areas of the game world, which may resemble a post-apocalyptic version of the Kanto map. They collect resources to rebuild structures like Pokémon Centers, with each Pokémon's abilities influencing their contributions to the rebuilding process. The gameplay loop encourages players to recruit more Pokémon to unlock skills and items, fostering exploration and discovery. Pokopia includes multiplayer elements, allowing players to collaborate on tasks, such as building bridges to transport Pokémon. The game draws on various influences while maintaining a connection to traditional Pokémon gameplay, promising an innovative experience within the franchise.

Hytale Feels Like Little More Than A Neat Minecraft Texture Pack

Hytale is an early access game that has been in development for a decade, facing a cancellation by Riot Games before its revival in November. The game features mechanics such as jumping two blocks high and a combat system that requires timing for attacks, which are similar to potential mods in Minecraft. Hytale includes familiar mobs like skeletons, spiders, zombies, and golems, alongside new creatures like goblins and Kweebecs, and a mysterious area known as the Void. Crafting in Hytale is more complex than in Minecraft, requiring multiple workstations, and workbenches can recognize adjacent chest contents. Despite its unique elements, Hytale often feels derivative of Minecraft, with similar sounds and inventory mechanics. Future updates, including an anticipated Adventure Mode, aim to introduce RPG-like storylines and quests. The game currently faces balancing issues but remains visually appealing, though it has not surpassed Minecraft's foundational elements.
