Pikmin 4understands the overwhelming appeal of scale. We explore a tiny version of our world filled with household objects like Game Boys and alarm clocks which, at this size, could easily crush us to death. Microscopic insects and similarly insignificant wildlife we’d previously wipe underfoot are capable of swallowing us whole or throwing us across the environment like insignificant ragdolls. Virtual experiences like this are simultaneously enthralling and terrifying. Nintendo’s charming extraterrestrial strategy game has always capitalised on this idea, and despite taking place on a multitude of alien planets, the series’ many environments are akin to suburban gardens and family living rooms, or beaches where the tide moves in and out with the changing times....

ThePlayStation 5has brought with it a new standard to console gaming, with toggles that have quickly become common to video games released on the current-gen machine.

From triple-A titles like Horizon Forbidden West to indie-ish fare like Kena: Bridge of Spirits, the option to choose either Performance Mode or Quality Mode is often standard, with PS5 players facing the dilemma to either favour a higher framerate, with Performance, or slightly superior graphics, with Quality....

Sonic Maniais arguably one of the most beloved modernSonictitles at the moment, bringing back the art style so many grew up with and loved.

There are a lot of ways to get Nintendo’s attention–put an emulator on Steam, develop fan-made games, mod Zelda, and the list goes on. What you probably shouldn’t do is buy a Switch OLED on credit, sell it at a loss, purchase Nintendo stock, and then attend a conference, as this guy did. They didn’t do it just to meet Mr Nintendo. They hatched this elaborate plan so they could complain about a lack of male representation inSplatoon 3, launching a lengthy rant at Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa when their turn to ask a question came up (thanks,GLHF)....

Bethesda Game Studioshas been honest about the fact that many ofStarfield’s thousands of planets will be relatively devoid of life.
