After eight years in development, the full version of Escape From Tarkov is finally here. The game first launched as an early access title in 2017 and was previously only available through the Battlestate Games Launcher. Many players were excited about its release on Steam, hoping it would bring the game to a wider audience. Unfortunately, the launch hasn’t gone as smoothly as expected.

Okay, so I figured out how to get aqueducts! You don’t start with them, you actually unlock them by upgrading one of your basic houses – a Plebeian Residence – into an Eques Residence. To do that, though, you’ve gotta make sure your Plebeians are happy. Basically, I needed to give them plenty of Bread, Garum, build some Sanctuaries and Grammaticus schools, and make sure they had Sandals and Soap. Once they were all set, I could finally upgrade and unlock the aqueducts!

When you start the game, focus on building Woodcutters and Sawmills to produce Timber. Although the tutorial only asks for one of each, building two right away is a good idea. This ensures you’ll always have enough Timber and can clear forests safely, knowing your wood needs are covered. Just be sure to leave some forest standing for Charcoal production later on.

The game Concord had a rocky start after its announcement in May 2024. A cinematic trailer reminiscent of Guardians of the Galaxy initially created excitement, but when gameplay revealed it was an online hero shooter, fans were disappointed. Many criticized the game’s unoriginal character designs. Despite a beta test and eventual release months later, Concord didn’t attract enough players. This led Sony to offer refunds and ultimately close down the game and the studio that created it.
