Based on the evil Topper Although I adoredMario Odyssey, the Broodals, the new evil rabbit enemies, were kind of a take it or leave it affair for me. There was nothing inherently wrong with them, and in the grand scheme of things their presence and even their short boss fights aren’t even a fraction of the game’s length — they just creep me out. That goes double for this new outfit, which allows Mario to basically wear the skin of his fallen foes....

He also likes to be whipped I was lucky to score an interview with Kotaro Uchikoshi, creator of the Zero Escape series(999,Virtue’s Last Reward, and the upcomingZero Time Dilemma) for the next issue ofNintendo Force. We touched upon topics big and small, such as what he’d do if he was faced with death in one of his own games, some of the underlying meanings of his work, which Nintendo franchise he’d like to take control of, what it was like to work onPepsimanfor the PS1, and a lot more....

This article was written in partnership with Tripearl Games. ▲ Tripearl Games CEO, Manson Jeong V.E.D.A has positioned itself as the gateway to the Soulslike genre, targeting gamers who may have been intimidated by the genre’s notorious difficulty or those who tried but quickly gave up. While V.E.D.A eases up on the punishing difficulty, it still retains the core feel and essence of a true Soulslike experience, earning consistent praise from players....

Hero Academyis my new digital crack but it currently only has a tutorial consisting of screenshots and text, and no way to try out a game against an AI opponent. This might make some players a bit wary of trying it out for the first time against a random stranger, if you don’t have a friend with whom you can ease intothe game. After suffering a number of defeats in a bunch of games that ranged from half a day to week-long bouts, I’ve learned some of the basics and general strategies the hard way....

‘In the heart of Vinewood’ GTA Onlinehas been a go-to for me for nearly the past six years. Even at launch, sans-heists, I enjoyed reliving my exploits from the campaign, as I was awaiting that originally planned single player DLC (that never came, because of a shift away from solo content, Rockstar revealed in 2017).GTA Onlineis comfort food: something you can dive into and enjoy pretty much at any point in your life due to the rapid rate at which Rockstar adds new stuff....

Below you’ll find all the Altar of Lilith locations in Scosglen....

All Mulan Realm pebble locations in Disney Dreamlight Valley Mulan’s maze during the Orienteering quest features eight pebbles you have to find.

PC version delayed for release parity Once upon a time, you could be playingNecropolison March 17 — just next month — when it came to Steam. Those days are over now as Bandai Namco has jumped in to publish the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the four-player (drop-in, drop-out co-op) roguelike with some seriousDark SoulsDNA (it even controls similarly). Independent developer Harebrained Schemes (Shadowrun Returns) is still self-publishing its next title on PC, but that has been pushed back to release in step with the console versions that Bandai Namco’s handling....

Coming soon to Steam Early Access Keen Softwarehas built a million-person-strong audience forSpace Engineers, but I’ve stayed away from the work-in-progress construction sandbox game so far. Steam Early Access often has that effect on me. The studio’s next project,Medieval Engineers, will tap into the same desire to build and break cool stuff, but in a setting that seems quaint by comparison. Quaint can be good. Inspired by real-world medieval technology, the game “strives to follow the laws of physics and history and doesn’t use any technologies that were not available in the 5th to 15th centuries....

Where playground meets obstacle course A friend of mine got a good deal on a Wii U recently. That meant that I finally got a chance to playCaptain Toad. It’s really humbling to know that people at Nintendo have also playedMonument Valley. I played through a bunch of the game, and aside from parts where I had to keep looking between the touch-screen and the big screen (though I suppose I could have gotten around this by just playing on the touch-screen) and the parts where I had to fight bosses (though I suppose I could have gotten around this by just replayingMonument Valley), I really enjoyed the game up to a point....
