The legendary racing series is back with its brand new instalment announced at E3: Forza Horizon 5. Sequel to Forza Horizon 4, FH5 is the brand new game coming on November 9th 2021. Xbox says that this is going to be the biggest and greatest Open World racing game they've ever created, with the trailer out and new gameplay, lets dive into this new world where I will tell you about what's new, what's coming and my thoughts about this game! Now the graphics in this game looks amazing, truly realistic, this game might be the first game to be on the par with Red Dead Redemption II, a Rockstar title released last gen, but now it looks like Forza Horizon 5 is also joining the title of the most realistic looking game. Lighting and photorealism is improved in this game from the last, also it has much higher resolution textures and reflections, thanks to the Ray Tracing that will be implemented in this game on Xbox Series X/S and possibly PC. The graphics are amazing and are truly an awaited for the community. Car’s look great, one of the flaws in FH4 was that the engine sounds were bad since the team working on them left to work for Gran Turismo 7 but in Forza Horizon 5 they sound much better if you compare the both. The car models itself are amazing and detailed, even the tiniest of details are there and thanks to Ray tracing the car and how light and reflections are on it look insane. FH5 is overall a good improvement from FH4 and seems like Xbox’s best Next Gen game coming so far. The music sounds amazing too, it will be great to drive around in the world listening to Spanish music, the atmosphere they've build up just by seeing the trailer looks amazing and even immersive in a way! The gameplay of Forza Horizon 5 was also revealed during the Xbox and Bethesda games showcase, the gameplay looks similar to FH4 but there are many new things added into the game that aren’t even mentioned in the demo, first of all let’s start with the driving. The driving has not been improved that much, it only looks smoother compared to other Forza games, they can’t revamp the driving completely, I don’t think the need to because the driving in Forza games is already too good, so it would just be a reskin. There are other things in the gameplay which don’t look like a reskin, new things such as Forza Link, the newest AI which can allow you to communicate with players and learns what you like in the game and what you don’t based on what you play, for example if I like a battle royal mode more than it will recommend me to play the battle royal and give me opportunities on where it’s starting, I am personally excited to see Forza Link and how it affects our gameplay and interaction with other players. Other small details were revealed by the team later on, things like character customization, the ability to customize your driver, now there were over a few drivers you could choose in FH3 but there wasn’t anything you could do to customize them, but it looks like FH5 is going to have many more options, this could affect gameplay as they might show our character more in cut scenes or there are other parts of the game which will require our character for doing things, maybe some animation, it could be anything. There are many more cars coming to FH5 along with more customization options which will be fun to see. Another thing coming is the Event Lab, a huge stadium where you can make your own game modes and custom races, this kind of thing was present in FH4 but this time they might add new things and objects which will make playing around with this much more fun. My Thoughts: I am hyped for this game, this is my most anticipated game so far this year, I was going to get FH4 in the steam summer sale but decided to hold back for FH5, FH5 looks way better to me and as a new player I think I should buy this instead since there will be improvements from the previous instalment but no major features are revealed just yet and it would be a waste to buy it if I already bought FH4 (This will be my first ever Forza game!). The graphics finally gave me the RDR2 vibes, no game so far looks better than RDR2 it’s the most impressive on the market so far but FH5 is now on the par and I’m excited to see the final product. FH5’s setting appeals to me more than England for some reason, I’m really excited for this game and the rest of the community is too. I just hope they don’t rush it and the developers take their time to make the game since we all know what happens when you go after corporate greed ;)
Forza Horizon 5 launches at November 9th 2021 on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC and the Xbox Gamepass, this will totally be the biggest racing game we’ve had in a while and I am super hyped!

Thursday just passed and you know what that means, the fourth and now confirmed final Mystery Game has been released, and it’s Control. Control is a 2019 action-adventure video game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by 505 Games. The game revolves around the Federal Bureau of Control, a secret U.S. government agency tasked with containing and studying phenomena that violate the laws of reality. You play as Jesse Faden and as the new director of the agency you have to further explore this phenomena, you gain abilities and discover new secrets as you proceed the game. The game itself is a linear third person shooter, which revolves around different paranormal gameplay mechanics such as flying and other techniques you use as you proceed the game. The game is AAA and surprisingly came out less than two years ago which is sketchy because EGS gives at least two years older games, this game is good and even though I haven’t played it, it has high reviews and from what I’ve seen, gameplay and graphics both look amazing, though I cannot comment on the story till I play it in person. If you’re not familiar with Epic Game’s free games program than its pretty simple: A game will come for free for exactly 1 week, in that one week you will have time to claim it, after you claim it in that one week it will remain in your library forever, you can download it and play whenever you want to, this is not a free weekend or a trail, you will have the full version of the game free and forever if you claim it in that 1 week time, if you don’t than the game will be gone forever and the next free game will arrive. Time to time, even two to three games are free on the Epic Games Store and all are available for one week till Thursday 8:00 PM GMT +5 time (Calculate your time period accordingly or just head to the Epic Games Store and check the time remaining there). This program is only available for PC. What's next on the Epic Games Store?Next week we have Hell is other demons and Overcooked 2, Overcooked was given away last year and I personally did not like it but Overcooked 2 looks like a way bigger improvement to me. Hell is other demons is a pixelated game which is not really something to be excited over. This wraps up the Mystery Event this year, it passed by quickly considering we had 6 games last year and those games were better than the ones we had this year, only Frostpunk and Control were good worthy vault games, NB2K21 and Among Us were just bad. According to Epic Games marketing and income, there is a 50/50 chance we will have a vault even next year but there is no guarantee the games next year will actually be good. Control is available till June 17th 2021 and make sure to claim it before that, its a huge and good AAA game! Nitro is one of those subscriptions everyone on Discord wants, despite it having only a few actual advantages the Nitro is fully based on Discord cosmetics (emoji’s, animated profile pics, custom banners on your profile etc.) and this subscription costs a whopping $9.99! Now to me it’s totally a waste of money but what if I told you this subscription is currently free? That’s right! Our saviour Epic Games has done it again! Nitro is free to claim on the Epic Games Store till 24th June 2021 for not only 1, not 2, but 3 months long of the Discord Nitro Subscription! Now claiming this is slightly tricky since it involves some steps some people may be uncomfortable with but I can guarantee your safety in this, without further ado lets jump into the steps! How to Claim:First open the EGS Launcher or the EGS website, login your account and search Discord Nitro or just find it on the homepage, click on the nitro, it should be labelled as add-on and click get, it will take you to the order page and just click confirm order and when you’re sure its done, close the Epic Games store or put it aside since we won’t need it anymore, now next you have to patient, you need to wait for an hour or two (maybe less) and after you do you will get an email for EGS about Discord Nitro, note that the email will come to your address that you have signed in your EGS account with, click on the link that says “Redeem Now”. Step 1: Now here comes the tricky part. Sign in with your main account or the account you want Nitro to have, do this very carefully since if you redeem it with another account there is no going back. For some users you will just have to accept their TOS and click on proceed, it will automatically give you nitro but for most users it will ask for a credit card. Normally you could enter your credit card details and get over with it but for those who don’t have one or can’t use their parents (Like me) than I have another solution for that…. Step 2: Go to this website which I am showing the picture above, this website generates random empty credit cards so no need to worry if you think your hacking, in fact, this website generates random digital credit cards which probably don’t even exist and are there to fool the system if you ever want to claim a free trial or something and it requires your card, this method can be used with any other subscription as well. 549184 will be the code you have to enter the bin in. Choose any card, all work but I had problems with the first few ones, the one which worked for me was the last one. Step 3 After you get your details, enter them, for the name of the card enter any proper name, not random letters or a gamer ID, after you choose next it will ask for an address, you can enter any address from the US but I entered an Address from New York, if you want you can do the same but make sure to enter the correct zip code. Hit proceed, now if it shows some sort of error, switch the tab and come back, if it keeps showing an error leave it for an hour or so and then return, switch a few tabs and then hit enter, keep trying if it doesn’t work or use different credit card info but the same address (it doesn’t matter). Step 4: After so many tries it should work, after it does it will take you back to the main page, than just hit proceed, after a few moments it should work, for me it showed that this code is already redeemed but do not worry if it does for you too, just open your Discord and check your profile picture, if your Nitro badge is there than congrats! You have successfully claimed Nitro! But if it isn’t than contact Epic Games or Discord, if they don’t help than make another EGS account and do the entire process all over again, remember you have till 24th June 2021 and its not even a very long process, takes 10 minutes or so! Step 5 (For people who got Nitro with fake Credit Card): For people who got Nitro using the fake Cred Card method, it is necessary to do this step otherwise you might be banned from Discord. Recently Discord has been banning accounts which used fake CC, not to worry though, you can avoid this with a few simple steps: First open Discord with the account you used to get Nitro, go to your settings and click on Nitro. Click on "cancel Nitro" now this will not remove your Nitro, this will only remove the Nitro which you will have to pay for after 3 months, usually if you didn't cancel after 3 Months it will refill your Nitro using your card automatically, this will not happen after you cancel your card and your remaining Nitro will remain till its finished. Now last thing you have to do is go to billing and click edit on the card you used, remove the payment method. All done! You're safe now! If you claimed this on other accounts using the fake CC technique than do the same on ALL accounts, since Discord will scan all the accounts in your IP and will automatically ban even the account where you remove your Billing Method because it detected other accounts using a fake CC.

The Epic Games Store is known for 3 things: The game engine Unreal Engine 5, one of the most popular multiplayer games which blew up back in 2019 ,Fortnite, and of course it’s weekly free games! Since around 2 weeks ago, Epic Games started their infamous Vault Event again where they supposedly give good “AAA” games away for free. Last year the Vault games were really good: We were able to claim games like Grand Theft Auto V, Civilization VI, ARK Survival Evolved etc. This year though, the Vault’s value has declined. In the first 2 weeks we got NB2K21 and Among Us for free, both of which were disliked and disapproved by the community, NB2K21 was full of Micro transactions and overall a failure in both sales and reviews (It has negative reviews on steam) and Epic Games decided to give such a bad game away for free (NB2K21 being a AAA game even has ads!) Among Us was a strange choice but somewhat similar to NB2K21, the game wasn’t AAA yet a very popular multiplayer game that had blown up during late 2020 and had declined in both sales, players and even media views, even their new map, The Airship, turned out to be un-optimized and overall bad which had an even worse influence on the game. This week we got Frostpunk as the new AAA game, and do not let your eyes fool you because this game is actually good, from what I’ve heard at least. Frostpunk is a city building strategy game about you running a city in a frozen wasteland where heat means life and is necessary for survival. The game has a 9/10 review on steam, 5/5 from common sense media and even a 9/10 from IGN, the game has high reviews and what I’ve heard from friends, they all recommend it and call it “The Red Dead 2 of its genre”. How to Claim:If you’re not familiar with Epic Game’s free games program than its pretty simple: A game will come for free for exactly 1 week, in that one week you will have time to claim it, after you claim it in that one week it will remain in your library forever, you can download it and play whenever you want to, this is not a free weekend or a trail, you will have the full version of the game free and forever if you claim it in that 1 week time, if you don’t than the game will be gone forever and the next free game will arrive. Time to time, even two to three games are free on the Epic Games Store and all are available for one week till Thursday 8:00 PM GMT +5 time (Calculate your time period accordingly or just head to the Epic Games Store and check your area's time there). This program is only available for PC. Step 1: Head to the Epic Games website or the Epic Games Launcher and login to your account, if you don’t have one than make one it only takes a few minutes. After you’ve done that proceed down to the free games section or just search “Frostpunk” in the search bar. Step 2: After you are on the page of Frostpunk click on the GET button at the edition (Standard) where it says 100% off and FREE. After you click on that, it will proceed you to checkout, without clicking anywhere or anything, just simply hit place order, no credit card will be asked or no details will be asked. After a few moments, a message should pop up thanking you and a receipt of the game will be sent to your email. Step 3: All done! Hit install and the game should be around 9GB, after that wait for it to install and when it’s done hit play and there you go! You can now play Frostpunk forever without any limitations for free! Other Info:For those worrying about if this free games program is legal, is it safe or if EGS contains any sort of viruses than no need to worry: The program is completely legal, you can read their terms and conditions and it is totally legal, this program is a marketing strategy for Epic Games and has proved beneficial since it has gained so many players on its Launcher and sales have increased, this program is totally safe and not a scam, I have been using EGS for over a year now and have been installing their free games, I have never encountered any virus or threat and I doubt I ever will, this program is legit and safe. Even small YouTubers like Should You Play It?, Priyam Raj and Low Budget Gaming have built YouTube careers off of this program by making content on it and I do recommend you watch them since their content is amazing and in my opinion better than most big channels! This program is available internationally and you can login and claim the game on any device if you don't have your PC/Laptop available, even your phone! Frostpunk is a city building survival strategy video game developed by 11 Bit Studios. Set in the late 19th century, players must take on the role of a leader and build, lead and survive the society in a city surrounded by a harsh worldwide volcanic winter. Do you have the courage to take on this harsh and hard ride and make decisions that will either be the benefit or the destruction of your society? Can you take on as being a leader and lead this society? Or be kicked out in the and left to die in the process? Frostpunk is now available free to claim till June 10 2021 on the Epic Games Store. |
