In the new God of War, talismans grant you a wide variety of active and passive abilities to help you in battle. We’ll walk you through the basics of where to find them, and what makes them so great. But the biggest benefit is that it increases your parry window, letting you reflect attacks and counter without requiring super precise timing. You can find out how to get it in our video guide, or follow along with our Alfheim collectibles guide. God of War tosses a ton of gear your way, and it’s a

Twitch Prime subscribers are a contentious topic for the community; a group of newcomers who streamers can’t particularly rely on to stick around, but want their support nonetheless. Twitch’s newly updated analytics page will now tell streamers exactly how many Twitch Prime subscribers versus regular subscribers they’ve gained over a specific period. Twitch Prime subscribers are all the rage these days, and it’s been a divisive aspect of Twitch’s growth in the past few months. “This deal that Am

God of War’s combat is isn’t as frenetic as previous entries in the series — it’s more tactical and careful. Kratos’ axe has limited reach, so you’re just generally closer to the various baddies you’re murdering. First, let’s talk about the basics of combat in God of War. The basicsIt’s not that Kratos is weak in God of War, but you’ll also never call him overpowered (even as you progress through the game). Parry and dodgeThe enemies you’ll face in God of War are relentless.

Some locations are populated by high level enemies that you won’t be able to fight until you get better gear. ChestsThere are four kinds of chests you’ll find as you explore:Small, wooden chests that Kratos “opens” by smashing through the lid with his fist. Kratos’ level — the number at the top of his character sheet in the pause menu — is really just the combined level of his gear. Kratos’ weapon and armor all have stats of their own, and it’s the collective level of his gear that determines Kr

I find it helpful to think about the purpose of the individual runic attacks, rather than which slot they fill. Some runic attacks focus on stun, while others deal lots of damage. Or maybe, when facing a big enemy, you switch the runic attacks to focused, damage-dealing options. Remember: XP is also used to upgrade runic skillsYou can upgrade both light and heavy runic attacks using XP. I recommend skills over runic attacks early in the game, but if you build your character around runic stats, y

Fortnite players have been prophesying the death of Tilted Towers for close to a month, but when that destruction never came, players took matters into their own hands. xsgoof referred to the meetup as a wake for Tilted Towers, calling for players to pay tribute to the map’s area by absolutely destroying it. The failure of a long foreshadowed meteor strike taking out Tilted Towers did’t stop the community from looking into other methods to honor the day. “We will all queue up at the same time in

Week 9 of Season 2 is upon us in Fortnite Battle Royale, and it includes a tricky challenge titled: “Follow the treasure map found in Moisty Mire.”Now you could do it the legit way, tracking down the treasure map, following its clues and finding the exact spot, or you can do it the fast way. Once you ditch the bus, land at the spot on the map above, just southwest of Retail Row. Once you get close you’ll spot several houses, one of which has a broken roof. Land on that roof and you’ll find the b

But whether you call them “build-and-play,” “DIY,” or simply “creative computing” toys, Nintendo’s effort represents the highest-profile entry yet into the market. Companies like ours, we’re never trying to vie for the same ideas as competitors. Solving a level or beating a score might make you feel good, and that’s fine, but that’s not really what life is about.

The Museum of Moving Image is a personal favorite for many at Polygon. On April 27th, MoMI is opening an exhibit on video genres in the time of YouTube — and when MoMI approached us about helping out with the exhibit, we were very happy to contribute. “The New Genres: Video in the Internet Age” will focus on how modern platforms and technology have vastly changed not only how we watch, make, and share videos, but what kinds of videos those are. As part of the exhibition, Polygon created a series
