The film stars Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer, with a supporting cast that includes Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, and other big names.

Diablo 4 Season 3 recently launched, but it hasn't taken long for some players to already grow tired of the game's newest additions, with some calling its traps "annoying" and its new companion "underwhelming."

Vaults are a new activity in Diablo 4 Season 3, one where the focus is on avoiding various traps to earn better rewards. Through a new seasonal mechanic, players are encouraged to reach the end of the Vault without being damaged by traps in order to earn better rewards. In theory, it incentivizes players to slow down and play more cautiously, something that Diablo players, who are accustomed to zooming through dungeons while killing a million monsters a minute, aren't exactly thrilled about.

A glance at the Diablo 4 subreddit reveals thread after thread of complaints in regards to traps. More than a few players point out how the idea of Vaults is very similar to the much-maligned Labyrinths previously seen in another popular ARPG, Path of Exile. Others remark that they feel like Vaults were designed for a game other than Diablo 4.

Enshrouded might not have traditional hunger, thirst, or stress mechanics, but you're still on a timer. Specifically, you need to be quick whenever you enter foggy areas that are filled with corruption. Here's our guide on how to survive longer in the Shroud in Enshrouded.

How to survive longer in the Shroud in Enshrouded

The Shroud in the aptly named Enshrouded is a thick fog that blankets specific areas in the game world. Traversing it causes a five-minute timer to appear at the top of your screen.

As such, not only do you need to avoid or eliminate creepy enemies that are lurking in the shadows, but you also need to make sure that you reach a safe zone (i.e. a place without the mist) within the time limit. Failure to do so will cause your character to succumb to the effects of the corruption.

In less than a week on sale, Palworld has reached more than 2 million concurrent players on Steam alone, according to SteamDB, surpassing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and claiming the spot for second most concurrent players on Steam of all time.
