I queued for a Final Fantasy 14 boss fight in real life and it was shockingly similar to doing it from the comfort of my PC

You can choose to place different monster floor tiles in a single space or place it in separate areas in your base.

Most of what’s included feels pretty good — we just need Pugstorm to iterate a bit, balance here and there, and mainly focus on fleshing out the world more. I ended up clearing the three main bosses and then spending a lot

For instance, I was a Gardener, which gave me a copper hoe and a watering can right off the bat. If I had known better, I probably would’ve preferred a wearable light source to complement my hand-held torch, but it is what it is. It all worked out.

, for sure. And the bosses, which you’ll need to physically find (or locate using a scanner), are an adequate challenge. If you die — and you probably will, unless you play super cautiously and are buffed up with cooked meals — then it’s just a matter of running back to grab your items off of your headstone.

Each of these fights are somewhat tougher than Ghorm and will require specific strategies in order for you to win; consult our guides on fighting Ghorm and Malugaz for some helpful tips!

Chest is the only paintable item storage, as space efficiently as any later on. Adjacent workbenches pull directly from them.

Explore diverse biomes with unique ecosystems and long-forgotten lore. From the living walls of the Clay Caves Core Keeper Gameplay to the crystal caverns of the Shimmering Frontier, discover more about this mysterious world as you uncover the secrets of the Cavelings.

After spending over two years in early access, Core Keeper launched in full for PC and current-gen consoles last month, and given how well it has been received, and how well it did over the course of its extended early access period, it’s pelo surprise that the game has got off to an impressive start.

Minimap: This shows you the map of the area immediately around you. Icons for bosses that you have located will also show up on this map, giving you an idea of which direction you need to go in order to reach them.

Cartography Table - interacting stores mapping save data for that world, to share between multiple players or different characters.

is really dark when it wants to be, which is most of the time. But you’ll also come across clearings — like a glowing flower-lit river, or a massive chewed-out tunnel that conveniently forms a perfect circle around the game’s starting area — and the lighting-fueled atmosphere hits that much harder.

Excellent game. As you probably know, it's basically a top-down version of Terraria or Minecraft, but in my opinion vastly superior to both. Minecraft has hideous visuals, while Core Keeper is beautiful to look at. Terraria has the infuriating issue of being CONSTANTLY bombarded by enemy attacks, always preventing you from doing what you are trying to do. Core Keeper, conversely, is much more respectful of the player, typically allowing you to engage enemies on your own terms. It's also easier to prevent enemies spawning where you don't want them to be. So you have the freedom to build a house, craft items, farm animals and plants, and cook food without being constantly bothered (unless you set up your base in a spot with a lot of enemy spawn tiles, but you can remove those to "cleanse" it anyway as mentioned above).
