A familiar story this Spring. The Famitsu Japanese charts for the first full week of April are in, and, well, it’s a pretty similar story to last week. Kirby and the Forgotten Land continues to crush the competition. While sales numbers have almost halved compared to last week, Kirby still sold nearly four times more […]

A love story set during the Cold War. Publisher 11 bit studios has announced that the “compelling narrative experience” South of the Circle will be making its way to the Switch.

So it’s perhaps no surprise that – even in the wake of Elden Ring – the […]

For those of you who didn’t pick it up, progression there is almost entirely linear, with each character having a predefined class that remains rather rigid throughout the whole experience. Some enjoyed having that […]

Yippee-ki-yay! Metroidvania’s are a dime a dozen these days, with so many trying to take a stab at what Metroid Dread, Castlevania, and Hollow Knight do so well – search exploration. But with a little bit of action too. Or a lot, in the case of Blast Brigade vs. the Evil Legion of Dr. Cread. […]
