Players have been eagerly awaiting updates to the game, and this week, those changes arrived.

Escape From Tarkov is often credited with creating the ‘extraction shooter’ genre, blending shooting, scavenging, and exploration in a unique way.

You can easily redeem SHiFT codes on the SHiFT website to receive items for your linked account. Gearbox uses these codes to give players Golden Keys and other in-game rewards. These Golden Keys can be used at any of the four Golden Chests located around Kairos, offering valuable loot that scales to your current level. This makes them useful at any point in the game – whether you’re looking for upgrades during a campaign or powerful gear after completing the story.
These games might be classics, but they’re all excellent in their own right. We enjoy action-packed ‘hack and slash’ games because they’re fast, often challenging, and require skill to play well. Ninja Gaiden 4 builds on everything that makes this genre great.
