From our review: Somehow, Donkey Kong Country Returns returned (again), but Nintendo’s third full release of this 2010 Wii platformer is almost as fresh and fun today as it was 15 years ago csgocase.net. DK’s satisfying, weighty movement paves the way for a challenging, momentum-based platformer that demands more skill and precision than the average Nintendo game. But it stays fun rather than frustrating thanks to incredibly impressive level design that explores every clever idea to the fullest and a ton of hidden collectibles worth tracking down. As a remaster specifically, it’s no more than a passable update, with graphics that can only really be described as “good enough” and some outdated elements that could have used more modern touches, like a lack of checkpoints during boss fights and a few obnoxious sections full of one-hit kill obstacles. But Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is still a competent update and easily the best way to play one of the greatest 2D platformers Nintendo has released this century. – Logan Plant
The next installment of the baffling and beautiful Kojima Productions game Death Stranding (2019) doesn’t yet have a release date, but what we do know is that it will be just as incomprehensible as its predecessor. We know that much from multiple lengthy trailers that have been released for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, featuring such bizarre new additions as Dollman, a living puppet animated in stop-motion style. I don’t know why there’s a living puppet in this game, but I’m also not sure I can explain anything that happened in the first game, either. Bring it on, Kojima. —Maddy Myers
Although Frodo and his pals ended up getting pulled into some very un-hobbit-like adventures, we all know that most hobbits can’t abide that sort of thing at all. Tales of the Shire embraces the core activities of the hobbit lifestyle — farming, eating, and socializing — already a trifecta in the cozy life sim genre. So if you wished Frodo had never left the Shire, and indeed that you yourself could make a home for yourself there, this is the game for you; here’s a glowing preview of the game from Polygon’s own Lord of the Rings expert Susana Polo if you need more details. —Maddy Myers
Not quite Ghost of Tsushima 2, Ghost of Yōtei is a new story from the developers at Sucker Punch, set in the early 1600s in the regions surrounding Mount Yotei. In that time period, the region was called Ezo, and was a separatist republic led by samurai. We don’t know much about the game’s new protagonist, named Atsu, except that she wields two katanas and she’s out for revenge. —Maddy Myers

New items for weapon customization
In a recent leak, IronS1ghts on X revealed more about the weapon customization system in Helldivers 2. In the first post, IronS1ghts stated, “I managed to get more of the attachment UI to display,” along with a video showcasing it. The video shows them going through the menu and looking at various items such as “Ripper” and plasma ammo types, a silencer, laser sight with flashlight, iron sights, holographic sights, a hair trigger, and a weapon skin.
As shown above, when using $type to define a tweak, we need to add all the required properties for the type, but when using $base to define one, we only need to add the properties we are changing, the rest are taken from the parent.
RedMod tweak files are much more legible than a “TweakXL override” from WolvenKit for this, as each step there inherits redundant stuff passively and won’t clutter your screen. Plus you’ll see inlines content directly without having to track down flats. Just use something to search the insides of the files for the definitions (VS can, or some free tools like Agent Ransack)
To change the stats discussed in the step above, we again need to tinker with the statModifiers & statModifierGroups in your weapon tweak. Open up the tweak for Items.Preset_Unity_Default and navigate till you find the two arrays.

“I don’t think there’s been a better team in the competition”, before saying that was “especially across 160 minutes” of the semi-final. That was on top of the curious pre-game comments where Arteta had said Liverpool had won Premier League with fewer points than his own team had managed in the previous two seasons. A mere glance at points-per-game records illustrated this to be nonsense.
After finishing 15th in an underwhelming league phase, PSG have looked a totally different beast in the knockouts and are now have a final clash with Inter Milan to look forward to. Here is the route they have taken to the semi-final:
