Co-op games hold a special place in my heart, they’re some of the most fun, collaborative, and memorable games on the market but they’re sadly few and far between. Thankfully, Green Man Gaming has a new bundle of six co-op-focused PC games like Cat Quest II, Moving Out 2, and more. You can pick up the Better Together Bundle for just $12, which saves you a whooping 90% off the $125 the combined suggested retail prices if you bought the games separately.

Included in the bundle is Moving Out 2, the sequel to the chaotic couch co-op classic. It’s a lot more fun than helping your friends move, and comes with considerably less back pain. The game is physics-based, and you work with your teammates to navigate obstacles without breaking anything (yourselves included).

The initial contracts you receive in Marathon are mostly fetch quests that don't require a ton of effort on your part. These contracts are either for CyberAcme, or they're the Liaison Contracts for new factions that you can join once you complete the "Welcome to Tau Ceti" contracts. However, after you've dipped your toes in some of the new factions, you'll start to get more challenging contracts.

One of these contracts is called Data Reconstruction, and it's required to progress the NuCaloric faction in Marathon. While Data Reconstruction sounds simple enough on paper, it's not as easy as you might think. There are three separate objectives, and you'll need to visit specific locations on a couple of maps. If you're struggling with Data Reconstruction or want to get it done quickly in Marathon, take a look at the full contract walkthrough below.

Data Reconstruction is divided into three separate parts, each featuring its own objectivesrt45. The first part of the contract takes place entirely on the Perimeter map and has three different steps.

In early February, Valve confirmed that Steam Machine's launch was pushed out of its early 2026 release window due to the ongoing RAM shortages. At the time, Valve expressed confidence that a 2026 release was still on the table. But the latest word from Valve seems a little less confident that it's going to drop this year.

Valve has shared it's Year In Review 2025 report, and addressed the arrival of Steam Machine, the new Steam Controller, and Steam Frame with the following statement:

"We hope to ship in 2026, but as we shared recently, memory and storage shortages have created challenges for us. We'll share updates publicly when we finalize our plans!"

Square Enix has yet to unveil Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, which will conclude the remake trilogy that began in 2020 with Final Fantasy 7 Remake. However, director Naoki Hamaguchi has shared some specifics about which locations will be featured in the finale, including at least one that wasn't in the last game.

While speaking with Bloomberg, Hamaguchi strongly hinted that Rocket Town will be in FF7 Remake Part 3 after being excluded in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. With Rocket Town on the way, Hamaguchi broadly teased that a trip to space will also be in the cards. He also went on to stress the importance of including Yuffie's homeland.

"[Wutai is] one of the main locations," said Hamaguchi. "Yuffie's made a very prominent appearance, stating her case about her homeland. So if Wutai's not featured, I think the fans are going to yell at me."

A major part of the gameplay loop in Marathon is interacting with the various factions that make up a large part of the game's lore. There are six total factions in Marathon, and each one offers unique upgrades, Armory purchases, and contracts that you can take on for extra loot and credits.

By default, you only have one faction unlocked, with the other five remaining locked and inaccessible. If you want to unlock those other factions so you can start taking on more contracts and unlocking better upgrades in Marathon, take a look at the guide below.

The six factions in Marathon are: CyberAcme, NuCaloric, Traxus, MIDA, Arachne, and Sekiguchi. When you start Marathon, you'll immediately have the CyberAcme faction unlocked, and it serves as your introduction to the entire system. You'll learn how contracts work, which upgrades you have access to, and where to spend your credits.

When you're playing an extraction shooter, your inventory is one of the most important elements that you need to manage. The main goal of most drops is to acquire as much loot as possible, and if you have a small inventory, then you can't take a ton of loot with you when you go to extract from the map. The same is true in Marathon, and the default backpack you're given to start the game doesn't hold an overwhelming number of inventory slots.

So, sooner rather than later, you're going to want to increase the overall size of your backpack's inventory. However, that's easier said than done in Marathon, as it all comes down to good, old RNG. Below, we'll walk you through how to upgrade your backpack and increase your inventory capacity in Marathon.

While it might sound a little counterintuitive, the only way to increase your inventory size in Marathon is to equip a backpack. By default, your loadout comes with a standard backpack that's able to hold eight inventory slots. This default backpack is equipped on your loadout at all times, even if you die, so you'll always have at least eight slots in your inventory.

Pokemon Pokopia is all about building habitats and discovering new Pokemon. After completing the starting area called Withered Wastelands, you'll be able to advance through a gate and explore Bleak Beach. In this guide, we'll walk you through all the objectives for Bleak Beach, which asks you to "Brighten Things Up" and restore the lighting around the beach and rebuild the Pokemon Center.

Here are all the steps you need to know to complete the "Brighten Things Up" questline in Pokemon Pokopia.

• Help Professor Tangrowth by building a bridge to the Pokemon Center.
• Use blocks around the fountain to block water flow and stop flooding.
• Finish the questline to improve Meowth's home:
  • Requires Torchic and Piplup
• Fix other flooded areas.
• Build more habitats and attract new Pokemon:
  • Mareep
  • Trubbish
  • Pawmi
  • Makuhita
  • Gloom
• Speak with Professor Tangrowth, and you'll be instructed to build a home. I'd recommend choosing the Sand Den because the materials are readily available.
• Complete Trubbish's electricity tutorial request.
  • Restore lighting using an electric Pokemon such as Pawmi to power up street lamps.
• Continue restoring power to the beach. This will help you reach your current goal and some later steps as well.
  • Return water to the watermill and add missing power poles to the tower above it.
  • Replace power poles at the windmill.
  • Connect the electric oven to the right of the windmill and add fuel. Lumber works well here.

You can usually tell which blocks need a power pole. There is a darker circle at the center where the original pole once was, as shown in the image above. You don't have to place the poles here, but it will be the easiest placement and avoid objects blocking the wires. It also ensures you have them placed at the right distance to provide connection.
