| Two Hundred Ways Out Now on Xbox Posted: 22 Nov 2021 01:00 PM PST Summary
In 2015, the acclaimed puzzle game One Hundred Ways challenged players with 100 brain-twisting levels. One year later, the Xbox version featured 33 additional ones for a total of 133 levels – each one asking the player to guide a ball to the exit. But that wasn’t always as easy as it might sound.  Enter Two Hundred Ways: German developer Sunlight Games has upped ante and has designed a total of 200 brand-new levels. Again, the mission sounds simple, but guiding the ball through each level is far from trivial. One needs to think several steps ahead to overcome all obstacles and guide the ball to the exit – or rather the balls: many levels feature not just one ball, but two or even three of them. And it’s wise to keep them apart – if they collide, the balls will break. This new feature, combined with up to three different layers in each level, is guaranteed to keep players on their toes.  Luckily, there are more than 40 tools that players can use in their quest to guide a ball. Several tutorial levels allow players to get a grip on how to use these tools, among them speed fields that accelerate balls to avoid traps and hammers – or speed up a ball fast enough to make it through a looping. A catapult will throw a ball into a different direction, while switches open gates and activate track switches. Sometimes, a key is needed to unlock a barrier that is blocking the exit. Some exits can only be reached by using a teleporter. And how about rails and tubes that guide a ball precisely to where players want it to roll?  Another cool tool celebrates its comeback from the original game: a crane that automatically flips the direction of a ball. But where cranes had two direction-shifting fields in the original game, Two Hundred Ways gives them twice as many – and with that twice as many ways to handle a ball. Additionally, there are tools that reduce a ball’s size so it can pass through narrow areas of a level – or that make it bigger so it doesn’t fall into smaller areas. Sometimes it will even be necessary to rotate a level to discover all traps and hints.   Two Hundred Ways features two different level sets, each with its own graphics and soundtrack. Two Hundred Ways offers more than 20 hours of gameplay with a large variety of puzzles. Two Hundred Ways is now available on Xbox!   Two Hundred WaysSunlight Games $14.99 Two Hundred Ways, the sequel of the successful brain teaser One Hundred Ways, gives puzzle fans twice as many mental challenges to overcome. The mission of each of its 200 levels sounds easy: guide one or more balls to the exit. But levels with up to three different layers and numerous ball traps don't make this task a walk in the park. Luckily, players can use dozens of tools to help them reach their goal – but using more tools means that their level score will go down… Features: • 200 levels that will keep players busy for a long time • 40+ tools that make it easier to guide each ball – or more difficult… • Up to three balls per level • Up to three layers per level • Real-time 3D isometric view • Players can zoom in/out of levels and rotate them for better strategizing • Gradually increasing difficulty • Tutorial level for each tool • Two level themes, each with its own soundtrack • Game languages: English and German Czech & Slovak Games Week Is in Full Swing Pixel Art Sci-Fi RPG Undungeon Available Today with Xbox Game Pass Introducing Out of Line on Xbox One |
| The Mexico civilization joins Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition! Posted: 22 Nov 2021 10:04 AM PST Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition launched in 2020 and has been innovating on the classic RTS gameplay ever since. Now the Mexico civilization joins the game as the most strategically diverse civilization yet in the newest DLC for Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, releasing on December 1 and available for pre-order now!  Unlike any other civilization in Age III: DE, the burgeoning Mexican States can choose to Revolt instead of advancing to the Fortress, Industrial, or Imperial Ages. Each Revolt offers you a whole new deck full of opportunities. Additionally, Mexico has the unique opportunity to reverse their revolts and return to Mexico, while still retaining access the benefits of any cards sent during the revolution. Add in a brand-new set of Federal States to evolve your gameplay and the Mexico civilization can adapt to any strategic situation like no other. New Historical BattlesFans of Age III DE's Historical Battles will receive a new scenario unique to the Mexico civilization DLC: "Grito de Dolores" — As the Bourbon Reforms granted the Spanish elite more power and diminished that of the church, resentment grew among the rural Mexican population. When news of Napoleon Bonaparte’s conquest of Spain reached the Americas, the words of a Catholic priest ignited the sparks of revolution. But that's not the only historical battle coming your way. The histories of Mexico and the neighboring United States are deeply intertwined, marked by many pivotal battles. On December 1, all owners of the previously released United States civilization DLC will receive "The Burning of USS Philadelphia" historical battle for free (even if they don't own the Mexico DLC).  Finally, owners of both the United States and Mexico civilization DLCs will get access to yet another historical battle: "The Battle of Queenston Heights." This scenario will be available to owners of both DLCs even if they purchase each DLC separately.  But for those who want to get both civs… United States & Mexico Civ BundleTwo civs are better than one! The United States + Mexico Double Pack includes both DLCs at a lower combined price. That means you'll get:
The double pack is available for pre-order here. Buyers will be able to play the United States civilization right away, and the Mexico Civilization and bonus historical battle content will unlock on December 1. In-game event: Fiesta Mexicana!A new DLC calls for a celebration, and one is on its way with Fiesta Mexicana, an in-game event celebrating all 31 states of Mexico! Starting on December 1, players can participate in 31 in-game challenges to earn unique profile icons. Players who complete all 31 challenges will unlock unique skins for in-game explorers! The Mexico civilization DLC is available for pre-order now on Steam and Windows Store, and releases on December 1, 2021.
