Dragon Age: Veilguard | High-Level Combat Overview Gameplay Full 10 Minute Video▶️ ▪️Warrior revolves around close range combat and defense ▪️The abilities you bring into battle is a strategic choice for each encounter, can be swapped out anytime outside of combat ▪️There are also three equippable Runes, these provide "a variety of control, utility, or additional damage to synergize with your build" ▪️Each class unique customizable abilities, for example warriors have certain abilities that deal fire damage ▪️There are then "Specializations" unique to each class that provide further abilities, including Ultimates ▪️Example: A Warrior specializing as a Grey Warden Champion will gain access to the devastating incendiary Warden’s Fire that launches a flurry of searing strikes that ignite foes like tinder ▪️Combat foundation: Each class has 4 core moves (jump, dodge, light attack, heavy attack) which can be chained together ▪️You can dodge mid-attack, light attacks do light damage and add small amounts of stagger, heavy attacks do more damage and build more stagger ▪️Enemies are more vulnerable fully staggered, Rook can perform takedown attacks ▪️Light and heavy attacks can be held down to deliver more potent versions, ex: a heavy attack can be charged while using a staff to unleash a magical wave of destructive energy ▪️Attacks can also be triggered while sprinting and/or jumping to add depth and fluidity to combat ▪️Each class has ranged attacks, blocks, and two distinct weapon sets that can be swapped seamlessly in battle ▪️Heavy attacks remove armor barriers faster, ranged attacks remove shield barriers faster ▪️You can pause with the ability wheel for more precise control, assign companions to attack specific enemies individually or together ▪️You can bound shortcut keys/buttons for abilities ▪️Different enemy types are weaker vs certain elements (darkspawn are weak to fire damage for example) ▪️You can apply buffs and debuffs (Davrin's "Heroic Strike" ability applies the "Overwhelmed" debuff to enemies which increases stagger) ▪️Area of Effect attacks are also necessary to defeat large groups of enemies, buffs/debuffs are important for crowd control ▪️Abilities require class resources to able to use (Mana, Momentum and Rage). You build these up by dealing damage as well as a secondary way (warriors by taking/dealing damage, rogues by dodging/parrying successfully, mages regain Mana passively over time) ▪️Sword and Shield warriors have access to the Shield Throw Volley: By landing a Heavy Attack on a Shield Throw return, the shield will ricochet, taking out multiple enemies. This sequence can repeat up to three times, causing a "devastating ring of damage around Rook" ▪️Warriors also have the Grappling Spear which can pull enemies closer (helps to dispatch specific enemies on higher difficulties) ▪️You coordinate specific attacks/abilities are primers to "prime" enemies and detonators to "detonate" for extra damage ▪️Ultimates are the most powerful abilities. Doing damage increases your Ultimate Meter and are unique to each class and specialization This looks fantastic, like a more fluid Inquisition.

21st May: Codename Dhanu ▪️ A fake narrative has been pushed by the Congress for a long time claiming that Rajiv Gandhi was martyred for the country, but it is completely false. That assassination was actually the result of a backfired misadventure. ▪️ The story begins in the 1980s. Tamilians were a minority in Sri Lanka, mainly settled in the northern part of the island - Jaffna. ▪️The majority of Sri Lanka’s population was Sinhalese, and a long-running ethnic struggle was going on between the Sinhalese and the Tamils. ▪️The leader of the Tamilians was V. Prabhakaran. ▪️The Congress had been out of power in Tamil Nadu for a long time and was keen to regain it. So Indira Gandhi began supporting Prabhakaran and the LTTE. ▪️Prabhakaran greatly admired and even worshipped Indira Gandhi. ▪️After Indira’s death, Rajiv Gandhi continued supporting Prabhakaran and his group, the LTTE. ▪️In June 1987, the Sri Lankan Army besieged the town of Jaffna. This led to large-scale civilian casualties and created a major problem for India. ▪️India feared a strong Tamil backlash at home. ▪️Rajiv Gandhi found himself caught between the Sri Lankan government and the LTTE. ▪️On 29 July 1987, the Indo-Sri Lankan Accord was signed to end the violence in Jaffna and grant some powers to the Tamils. However, the LTTE was not made a party to the accord, which greatly angered Prabhakaran. ▪️When Rajiv Gandhi visited Sri Lanka, he was attacked by a Sri Lankan naval officer. ▪️Later, under pressure from the USA, Rajiv Gandhi sent the IPKF (Indian Peace Keeping Force) into Sri Lanka. This decision proved fatal for him. ▪️Heavy fighting broke out between the Indian Army and the LTTE, with casualties on both sides. ▪️The LTTE wanted revenge. On 21 May 1991, they sent their suicide bomber, codenamed Dhanu, who killed Rajiv Gandhi. ▪️Bhinderwale and Prabhakaran were both initially created or supported by the Congress to help the party gain power in Punjab and Tamil Nadu respectively. ▪️But both experiments turned into misadventures and eventually backfired. ▪️From 1982–87, a Sikh, Giani Zail Singh, was made President of India. From 1987–92, a Tamil, R. Venkataraman, was made President of India. ▪️Supporters of Bhinderwale and Prabhakaran both felt betrayed by Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. ▪️And those two unfortunate assassinations took place. ▪️The truth is that neither Indira nor Rajiv sacrificed their lives for the country. They both paid the price for their political misadventures aimed at securing power.

Marathon | Ultimate Overview, Gameplay, Hands-On Impressions ▪️Team based extraction shooter set on Tau Ceti IV, scavenge remains of a lost colony for glory and fortune ▪️Launch: Coming to PS5, Xbox and PC on September 23 ▪️Will be a "premium" product, meaning not F2P ▪️"Weapons and movement feels crisp, fluid, and incredibly satisfying in that rarified way that few studios can achieve" ▪️3 maps, 6 runner classes at launch, more to follow post-launch ▪️Plans to support the game with new maps, weapons, characters, and more as it goes on ▪️Ranked play, end game challenges, seasonal storytelling, secrets to discover, community events all in Season One with more content coming ▪️You play as a "runner", cybernetic mercenary who's given up their human form for a bio-synthetic shell with unique abilities and stats ▪️Runner Types: "Locus" is a soldier class for pushing forward, can use a shield, "Void" is stealth, sneak by undetected, use smoke grenades, "Blackbird" is reconnaissance based, find players, positioning, and more ▪️Uncover secrets hidden in the wake of the original Marathon trilogy's events - how and where this overlaps or clashes with the original games "is a story that will unfold over time" ▪️Objective is to get in, get as much loot as you can, and get out alive ▪️If you die, your gear and loot will be up for grabs. Survive and you can take your gear with you on future runs as you grow in power and fill your vault ▪️Fight in a crew of up to 3 players, various map sizes up to 18 players ▪️PvP + PvE, battle other players, security forces, and "otherworldly threats" ▪️Contextual pings, shared objectives, down-but-not-out mechanics ▪️Environments are filled with weapons, materials, items, resources, cores, keys, backpacks, secrets etc to find You can find things like backpacks that expand your inventory, powerful and unique weapons, consumables to heal yourself, ▪️Select your runner, strategically build your loadouts pre-match ▪️Factions in the game can sponsor you and your loadout ▪️You have the freedom to opt out of crew fill and take all the glory for yourself as a solo runner ▪️"This is probably the best-looking, best-feeling extraction shooter ever made", not easy for newcomers to the genre, can be tough to get into, but one previewer was "reluctant to put Marathon down. This is a good sign – the best thing I can say after any preview is that I want more – but big questions remain" ▪️No two matches ever play out the same, dynamic events, variable weather, unpredictable players etc ▪️Customization: Each Runner "brings their own flair", but serve as foundations to customize your playstyle - collect implants and equipment to augment your Runner, like stacking implants/upgrades to reduce heat build-up to allow you to keep running, jumping, sliding longer ▪️Contracts: "Ingenious" incentives, finish contracts you accept for permanent upgrades to your stats, add precious items like grenades, shields, inventory-expanding backpacks, etc to your market. The bigger your market, the better your minimum loadout becomes ▪️Contracts provide "valuable direction", bring welcome diversity and add a "precious hit of semi-permanent progression" ▪️Prestige Cores: Rare items that can "really push the boundaries" (ex: Glitch has an upgrade that turns double jump into triple jump for more manueverability) ▪️Another rare item is a backpack that turns you invisible while interacting with containers (very useful when everyone on the map is hunting you) ▪️Each match "feels like the most important one ever", high stakes, "surprisingly challenging AI enemies" that were "much, much better at surrounding and overwhelming players than the vast majority of AI enemies found in other games" ▪️Having a balanced crew helps in exploring the "dark and forgotten places" in maps - filled with deadly creatures like a species of giant ticks who swarm you frantically ▪️Battles can become frantic as you encounter other crews, stalk them across the map, encounter AI enemies to fend off when others come to claim your loot (one preview battle turned into a 9 player free-for-all) ▪️Downside could be the reward system where skilled players enter fresh matches with high level gear that outmatches less skilled players, though Bungie says it has gone out of its way to try and make it where a poorly equipped squad can still stand a chance if they play well ▪️Even if you die, you can can still get upgrades, improve your reputation with factions, advance in perk trees, etc by completing various quests, looting chests, or fulfilling specific objectives which unlock new bits of story and can grant perks like buying slightly better gear from vendors ▪️"The world Bungie has built is every bit as beautiful as it is creepy and dystopian, and there are moments where they satisfyingly hint at the events of the Marathon trilogy from the ‘90s", though "what little I saw did only slightly more than pay lip service to the world" ▪️Uses the seasonal reset model like in Diablo 4, where players are stripped of their loot and progress at the end of each season to mix things up with new content and new meta ▪️Game is designed to get you killed, Bungie expects average exfiltration rates to be comfortably below 50% ▪️"You will lose a lot, and losing hurts a lot[...]Extracts are snapshots of this unpredictability. That white-knuckle countdown may become a gut-punch defeat, an unforgettable clutch, a desperate last-second dive into the portal as your downed allies watch in envy and horror (couldn't be me), or an unnerving anticlimax. It's not always a pleasant one, but it is a strong emotional hook" ▪️Some previewers worried about variety, weren't impressed with the objectives in the alpha, like hunting computer monitors on the map, sprinting over, marking dropships, sprinting over, and repeating, though random events help spice things up ▪️Not a 20-map game says Bungie, map design "does have that sticky battle royale quality of generating memories", though still worried 3-4 medium sized maps might not be enough ▪️Bungie's "verbiage" on updates sounds like possibly 1 new map a year + refreshing existing ones in between, which could work in its favor pushing players to really learn maps, but will they hold up over hundreds of hours? ▪️Fights are decided by gun skill, clever ability use, map awareness, how strong your shield is, how many healing supplies you have, etc ▪️Example: If you have one bar of shield and enemy has four, you'll lose 1v1, but change it up with powerful grenades, status effects like toxic or overheat, backpacks are "transformative", etc Gameplay Trailer ▶️ Gameplay Overview ▶️ PS Blog ➡️ IGN ➡️ GamesRadar ➡️ ▶️

This is a good sign – the best thing I can say after any preview is that I want more – but big questions remain" ▪️No two matches ever play out the same, dynamic events, variable weather, unpredictable players etc ▪️Customization: Each Runner "brings their own flair", but serve as foundations to customize your playstyle - collect implants and equipment to augment your Runner, like stacking implants/upgrades to reduce heat build-up to allow you to keep running, jumping, sliding longer ▪️Contracts: "Ingenious" incentives, finish contracts you accept for permanent upgrades to your stats, add precious items like grenades, shields, inventory-expanding backpacks, etc to your market. The bigger your market, the better your minimum loadout becomes ▪️Contracts provide "valuable direction", bring welcome diversity and add a "precious hit of semi-permanent progression" ▪️Prestige Cores: Rare items that can "really push the boundaries" (ex: Glitch has an upgrade that turns double jump into triple jump for more manueverability) ▪️Another rare item is a backpack that turns you invisible while interacting with containers (very useful when everyone on the map is hunting you) ▪️Each match "feels like the most important one ever", high stakes, "surprisingly challenging AI enemies" that were "much, much better at surrounding and overwhelming players than the vast majority of AI enemies found in other games" ▪️Having a balanced crew helps in exploring the "dark and forgotten places" in maps - filled with deadly creatures like a species of giant ticks who swarm you frantically ▪️Battles can become frantic as you encounter other crews, stalk them across the map, encounter AI enemies to fend off when others come to claim your loot (one preview battle turned into a 9 player free-for-all) ▪️Downside could be the reward system where skilled players enter fresh matches with high level gear that outmatches less skilled players, though Bungie says it has gone out of its way to try and make it where a poorly equipped squad can still stand a chance if they play well ▪️Even if you die, you can can still get upgrades, improve your reputation with factions, advance in perk trees, etc by completing various quests, looting chests, or fulfilling specific objectives which unlock new bits of story and can grant perks like buying slightly better gear from vendors ▪️"The world Bungie has built is every bit as beautiful as it is creepy and dystopian, and there are moments where they satisfyingly hint at the events of the Marathon trilogy from the ‘90s", though "what little I saw did only slightly more than pay lip service to the world" ▪️Uses the seasonal reset model like in Diablo 4, where players are stripped of their loot and progress at the end of each season to mix things up with new content and new meta ▪️Game is designed to get you killed, Bungie expects average exfiltration rates to be comfortably below 50% ▪️"You will lose a lot, and losing hurts a lot[...]Extracts are snapshots of this unpredictability. That white-knuckle countdown may become a gut-punch defeat, an unforgettable clutch, a desperate last-second dive into the portal as your downed allies watch in envy and horror (couldn't be me), or an unnerving anticlimax. It's not always a pleasant one, but it is a strong emotional hook" ▪️Some previewers worried about variety, weren't impressed with the objectives in the alpha, like hunting computer monitors on the map, sprinting over, marking dropships, sprinting over, and repeating, though random events help spice things up ▪️Not a 20-map game says Bungie, map design "does have that sticky battle royale quality of generating memories", though still worried 3-4 medium sized maps might not be enough ▪️Bungie's "verbiage" on updates sounds like possibly 1 new map a year + refreshing existing ones in between, which could work in its favor pushing players to really learn maps, but will they hold up over hundreds of hours? ▪️Fights are decided by gun skill, clever ability use, map awareness, how strong your shield is, how many healing supplies you have, etc ▪️Example: If you have one bar of shield and enemy has four, you'll lose 1v1, but change it up with powerful grenades, status effects like toxic or overheat, backpacks are "transformative", etc Gameplay Trailer ▶️ Gameplay Overview ▶️ PS Blog ➡️ IGN ➡️ GamesRadar ➡️ ▶️

Blades of Fire | Hands-On Gameplay Impressions ▪️Recap: New action-adventure IP from MercurySteam (Metroid Dread, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow) ▪️Coming to PS5, Xbox and PC on May 22 ▪️Around 60-70 hours long to complete ▪️You play as Aran de Lira, a forger and warrior who, after suffering a personal tragedy, "finds himself in possession of a magic hammer that lets him enter the forge of the gods to create the only weapons able to defeat Queen Nerea’s forces" ▪️The world is "squarely in fantasy territory", "rich, overabundant, lavish fantasy, as well as occasionally brutal and twisted" ▪️Magic courses through a land teeming with flowers and buzzing with wildlife, and creatures like trolls and elementals romp around ▪️Soldiers sort of look a bit like the Locust from Gears of War, chunky, loitering around. The whole game feels like it has a "chunkiness" to it, a bit like Blizzard games (hands and arms are oversized, buildings/walls are double thick). Combines to make a pleasing visual picture and give a sturdy, hefty feel ▪️"Wildly customizable weapons saves it from being just another action game", "combat is refreshingly different" ▪️Combat: Rooted in directional attacks that use every face button on a controller. On a DualSense for example, Δ aims for the head, X goes for the torso, while ⏹️ and ⭕️ swipe left and right respectively ▪️An enemy holding up a blade to protect their face for instance, can be overcome by aiming low and skewering through their gut ▪️Example: A troll boss can have a second health bar that can only be chipped away after dismembering it. If you use your right hand attacks, you can cut off its club-wielding left arm or cut off its entire face, leaving it blind and aimlessly flailing until it can regrow its eyes back ▪️Your attack and dodge stamina must be manually restored by holding the block button instead of automatically regenerating ▪️You can swap between 4 different weapons on the fly, wield your weapons via different stances, either slashing with the sharp edge or thrusting with the pointed tip; assess enemies to determine which methods are the most effective ▪️Rather than finding new weapons out in the game world, every weapon's life starts in the Forge ▪️You can create up to 7 different weapon types, from twin axes to polearms ▪️You start with your choice of a basic weapon template and tweak and modify and name, for example you can adjust the length of a spear's pole and the shape of its spear head which affects its stats ▪️A longer pole increases the spear's range, while its head shape dictates if its better at slashing or piercing ▪️Different materials also affect a weapon's weight which has an effect on your stamina pool ▪️You then physically hammer out the metal in-game on the anvil through a "remarkably involved minigame", where you control the length, force and angle of every hammer strike ▪️There is a curved line onscreen that represents the ideal weapon, you arrange a series of vertical bars to try and match the shape of that curved line with each hammer strike. Overworking results in a weaker weapon. You're rewarded with a star rating, the more stars you get, the more you can repair your weapon before it permanently breaks ▪️You can instantly remake weapons you've made before to save time ▪️Some found the weapon forging system to be "frustratingly obtuse", as there didn't seem to be a clear connection between the areas struck and the resulting shape of the metal; hoping for better tutorial or improvements before launch ▪️MercurySteam wants you to feel deeply attached to the weapons you create and carry them with you for the duration of your journey ▪️If you die, you lose your weapon upon respawning, but you can go back to where you died to retrieve them ▪️After playing for 3 hours, some hands-on impressions were unsure if the game can support a variety of a 60 hour game ("within 3 hours I’d fought the same gatekeeping miniboss 3 times") ▪️Others also felt there were uneven difficulty spikes, the game chucks multiple types of enemies at you, sometimes in confined areas. Can sometimes feel like you waste precious weapons, rest at an anvil to reforge and then enemies respawn again ▪️One previewer noted that when they started slowing down and nosing through the game's menus and built-in tips to see what they were doing wrong, they learned the game's nuances and it clicked Previews IGN: Full IGN Gameplay: Mirror: Eurogamer: #BladesofFire

Avowed | Hands-On Preview Details ▪️You play as the "Envoy", a fully customizable character traveling to the "Living Lands" (the setting of the game) on orders from the leader of the Aedyr Empire, a nation of humans and elves ▪️The Living Lands have a sort of Wild West frontier vibe where people head there in search of a better life, full of "rough and tumble" type inhabitants ▪️As the emperor's Envoy, most people immediately look at with mild distrust or full hostility as they see the Aedyr Empire trying to establish a foothold there ▪️You are sent there to investigate the "Dream Scourge", a soul plague that's infecting everything, and you need to learn how to stop it ▪️The game is not fully open world, but is made up of "open zones" that are large and interconnected, similar to The Outer Worlds ▪️Obsidian has made it a focus that each area is fully handcrafted and has interesting things to do, bandit camps, ruins to explore, half-destroyed hovels, undead soldiers, etc ▪️Features an open class approach to combat, where your backstory (war hero, arcane scholar, etc) determines your starting weapon, but you can find other options as you play like spears, swords, shields, pistols and can freely wield them ▪️You can store two weapon loadouts at a time and swap between them instantly, including mid-attack combo ▪️Hitting enemies damages health and also builds up a stagger meter that leaves them stunned when maxed out, allowing to do weapon-specific special moves for a lot of damage ▪️You can sneak around stealthily and get enemies from behind or use the environment to your advantage (like shooting fiery berries to start a fire) ▪️Some encounters can be bypassed entirely through stealth, or through dialogue convos if you have the right stats ▪️Combat is described as fast and fluid, managing your stamina meter to dictate your attacks, dodging unblockable enemy attacks, charging up your weapons for stronger hits, and being able to dual-wield like double swords, spear and pistol, etc "always feels like you have something up your sleeve" ▪️Some previewers however felt the combat was also "undeniably on the easy side" ▪️Eurogamer worries the Living Lands might not be as strange as Obsidian hopes it feels like, as there was nothing that popped out as unique or wildly original ▪️Structured leveling system, spend skill points in named skill trees like "Fighter" or "Ranger" ▪️Unlock special abilities that run on cooldown timers, mix and match different skills like the Fighter's dash-tackle and the Ranger's magic vines that entangles enemies ▪️There are many choices to make in the game, like happening upon a smuggler in a cage in the first outpost you encounter, whereby she's immediately distrustful of you, and it's up to you whether to release her or not ▪️One of the first places you visit is "Paradis", the main hub/point of civilization in the Living Lands, and you have to find the "clavager", essentially the town's mayor who went off to investigate some Dream Scourge reports ▪️After that, you're free to explore wherever you like, sidequests immediately become available, and they will impact your main story and vice versa ▪️Choices in sidequests "heavily impact individual characters, groups of characters, and entire settlements, factions of people, and the states of the regions that you go through. They will also impact the choices that are even available to you. Later in the game, you'll be locked or locked out of or presented with new choices based on the choices you made much earlier in the game" ▪️Exploring off the beaten path can often be rewarding, like happening upon a ruined tower that doesn't show up as any icon on the map. Investigating it triggered tripwire traps with swinging blades, inviting phantom enemies, and climbing up to the end revealed a chest with a high-quality piece of armor ▪️You can set up camps in different areas and talk to your companions, learn their backstories, etc which are all optional ▪️Writing is more grounded compared to the "relentless zaniness of The Outer Worlds", though still retains Obsidian's trademark humor but feels more natural to dialogue and less pressured to be quippy and quirky ▪️Kai, the bluish-green "Aumaua" companion from past footage, accompanies you early on. Companions are a 'constant presence', commenting on landmarks you pass by, during combat, and "generally feeling like a fellow traveler rather than trailing quietly behind you" Gamespot: Eurogamer: IGN: #Avowed #Xbox

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle | Previews & Details ▪️You can feel the DNA of Chronicles of Riddick/Wolfenstein games ▪️Surprisingly a bit like Hitman in stealth systems and the way levels are designed ▪️There are many mysterious locked chambers, complex ancient mechanisms, and ritualistic challenges to solve ▪️Examples of puzzles: stealth section to find a golden medallion inside a Nazi base, unlocking a door that unexpectedly opens up a spike pit under your feet, reflecting multiple beams of light across a room to retrieve a mask ▪️Linear storyline, but there are open areas which include side characters, hidden secrets, added rewards, and photo opportunities ▪️One open area sees Indy in an Egyptian bazaar, passing through crowds and finding a stall, which offers up a conversation with the owner and an opportunity for a side quest ▪️These sections are "packed with detail", hidden passages, scattered documents, etc that add context to the story ▪️You'll be able to revisit these areas once you’ve unlocked them and return to find more at a later time ▪️Whip: Useful combat tool, can drag onrushing Nazis in a fight, and also used to grab object in the environment, smash them, swing with, or use as a climbing rope ▪️Camera: Indy packs a film camera that players can use to take pictures of their adventure for "Adventure Points". It also helps offering pointers for puzzles and deepening the story ▪️Journal: Acts as a sort of de facto hint system, with Indy's own notes helping to guide you. Discoveries, documents, photos, physical maps you find in the game world are also stored there ▪️Lighter: Can help illuminate dark places or maybe ward off some snakes ▪️Indy also uses other tools throughout the world, like picking up a spear to throw into a wall that acts as a swinging point, breakable bottles to distract enemies, hammers to use in combat, etc ▪️Skills: There are dozens to unlock but not through a traditional skill tree. You'll find "Skill Books" hidden in the world, each of which open up the ability to unlock a new skill ▪️You can unlock a skill through earning and spending "Adventure Points", which you get by making discoveries, taking photos, etc ▪️One skill book teaches Indy "True Grit" for example, which lets him take a fatal blow in a fight but then retrieve his hat, dust himself off, and keep fighting ▪️Disguises: Throughout the game, opportunities arise where Indy can change into different sets of clothes to blend in and enter forbidden areas ▪️One example sees Indy dressing as a worker in Giza to enter a Nazi HQ at a dig site. There he finds a group of enemies playing cards inside a tent, and is immediately forced to fetch them a drink. You can go undetected by playing your role ▪️Another example has Indy dressing as a priest at the Vatican, though your disguise won't fool everyone ▪️Not centered around combat like past MachineGames titles, but gives you many ways to defend yourself ▪️UI is very light for "true immersion" in a fight, fistfighting is a mix of punches, dodges, grabs, pushes, blocks and parries, with the aim of breaking down an enemy's defenses until you can deliver a 'custom finisher' ▪️You can also use the whip to create more space in a fight or use environmental elements to finish enemies off quicker ▪️For tougher fights, Indy also has his revolver to finish off a threat quickly, though ammo is limited, as well as temporarily grab enemy weapons like a machine gun Previews IGN: VGC: Xbox Wire: #xbox #gamescom2024 #IndianaJones
