While finding vehicle components out in the desert might sound tricky, the world streamlines the player’s search by placing the parts within distinguishable landmarks known as Lost Wheels.

Taking heart containers to a more gross extreme in Scorn. Scorn is at points a macabre horror puzzle adventure, while at other points carrying survival horror elements. This helps sell the combination of a disquieting atmosphere with a genuine sense of danger. But due to the nature of the game’s lack of dialog and minimal UI elements, players might have trouble figuring out some of the essentials for surviving in this perilous world....

Higher Screen Refresh Rate is one of the most sought-after features on smartphones these days. And that’s why we curated a list of 90Hz and 120Hz smartphones that are available right now. However, there is another metric called the Touch Sampling Rate which is somehow overshadowed by the higher Screen Refresh Rate trend. I believe that Touch Sampling Rate is equally important and users should understand its significance if they want the best smartphone experience....
