You too can grab this hideous new costume in Super Mario Odyssey

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....

A starter’s guide to Robot Entertainment’s Hero Academy

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....

After nearly six years, GTA Online is getting its first casino

‘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....

Build castles and blow them up with a trebuchet in Medieval Engineers

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....

Captain of my own destiny: Micro-goals and player liberty

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....
