The first Watch Dogs often received criticism for its bland open world, but a modder who goes by the name The_Silver hopes to change that.

With the mod Living_City, you can experience additional custom missions, the ability to enter areas at will that were previously exclusive to story missions (including inside certain buildings), random events, and ambushes. This mod even restores some cut content that didn’t make the final game.

You can watch the trailer for the mod below:

The platformer Celeste is getting new levels in early 2019, which creator Matt Thorson teases will be “very hard.” He shared the news on Twitter after expressing gratitude to those who bought the game, since it’s sold over 500,000 copies since release.

If you haven’t picked up Celeste yet, we highly recommend it. Ben Reeves scored it a 9 in his review, saying that, “Celeste is filled to the brim with exciting moments.” It’s also going to be part of Xbox Games With Gold’s lineup starting January 1. This means that if you have a paid subscription with Xbox Live Gold, you can nab Celeste for free.

Bethesda announced via Twitter today plans to provide Fallout Classic on PC for anyone who logged into Fallout 76 during 2018. Notably, the entitlement will apply to any player, including those who played on Xbox One and PS4. For those who wish to take advantage of the offer, Fallout Classic entitlement will begin in early January.

Fallout Classic is a collection of the early Fallout games that were made prior to Bethesda’s purchase of the franchise, including Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics. All three are widely considered to be classics, though the gameplay may feel antiquated for many players who are used to the faster pace and first-person perspective of the newer releases.

This entitlement program was originally in place for PC players who had pre-ordered Fallout 76. The expanded program that was tweeted about today means a larger audience will be able to take advantage of the offer. And for Bethesda, it may offer a small boost to sales of Fallout 76, which has struggled in its early weeks after release due to fan and critical backlash.

It will likely be too late to arrive for most Christmas stocking stuffers, but some online and brick-and-mortar stores in North America have begun to sell the newest iteration of the Transformers brand. While some other series continue to appeal to the more dedicated retro collector’s market (check out the Siege figures that are also now beginning to go up for sale), the BotBots line is a decidedly kid-friendly option focused on very small Transformers disguised as household items.

The roughly 1-inch figures take the form of a variety of everyday items that turn into cute robots, and they’re grouped into different tribes themed around things you might buy at the store, like the electronic gadget disguises of the Techie Team, the school supplies of the Backpack Bunch, and even (unfortunately) the bathroom-themed Toilet Troop, among several other groups.

While the line is pretty squarely targeted at a younger audience, the simple transformations and inexpensive price point may end up drawing in some more dedicated collectors, especially because there are simply so many figures to snag. The new toy line has an interesting packaging strategy, as there are both five-figure and eight-figure packs that you can pick to get particular characters ($9.99 and $14.99, respectively), as well as blind single packs for $2.99, which is where you have a shot at some of the rarer figures in the initial 61-figure series.

Check out the gallery below for a look at the full line.
