What’s the worst thing you’ve done for an achievement?
Ask RPS, our new mailbag feature where RPS supporters pose us questions that we then answer in public posts for everyone to enjoy, we’re turning our gaze to that loved and loathed staple of the video gaming landscape: achievements.

But comparisons began to surface online showcasing mirrored animations between Bleak Faith and FromSoft’s titles, leading to accusations of stolen assets, as reported by PC Gamer. Archangel have now responded to the allegations of plagiarism, pointing to the Epic Marketplace where the team purchased the assets.

RPS makes interactive maps now
best thing in videogames. She could’ve just come and asked me. The best thing in video games is clearly the maps. Interactive maps, to be specific. Or rather, our interactive maps.
Yes, glorious people. Rock Paper Shotgun and its sister sites within the network now do interactive maps. It’s something that I’ve been after for years now, and it’s finally here, and it’s working, and it’s beautiful. I’m giddy.
