When one talks about excellent open-world games, the last name that anyone would’ve thought of before 2017 would be Nintendo. While the developer is certainly one of the greatest and most important gaming companies of all time, they were known more for experimentation with new gameplay forms and opposed to conforming to established norms. However, this perception was turned on its head with the release of The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, which just might be the greatest open-world game ever made....

This The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel review contains no spoilers. Midge Maisel’s radical pivot has effected everyone in her life.

The first leaders we were introduced to were the ones from the Indigo league, stationed in Kanto....

I have to be honest. A rogue-lite about dog-sledding was not something I thought would ever exist. The Red Lantern has some interesting ideas, cute dogs, and endearing visuals, but it’s significantly held back by repetition, too few mechanics, and a complete lack of anything you can call gameplay. It might be worth a look for anyone who’s sold by its premise, but someone looking for an enjoyable rogue-lite will almost certainly walk away unfulfilled, even if the freshness of the game’s central ideas are commendable....

There have been a lot of rumors circulating regarding an upgraded version of the Nintendo Switch, the latest of which claims that the console will be composed of a magnesium alloy, rather than plastic. Nintendo is no stranger to releasing new revisions of hardware throughout the lifespan of the system, with both the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS receiving different iterations over the years. The Nintendo Switch has already received two different revisions since it was released in 2017, with one offering an increase in battery life, while the other was the vastly different Nintendo Switch Lite, which removed features in exchange for a lower price point....

Tomb Raider is one of those series that can achieve anything from comedic dry wit to thrilling adventure. However, one of these things the series regularly delves into is the dark and scary nature of tomb raiding. From horrifying monsters to dark and gritty tombs, Tomb Raider can also be seen as a pseudo-horror series with some genuinely terrifying adventures that haunt some game’s levels, events and characters. Despite all this, the titular heroine Lara Croft continues to face danger with ease....

The Witcher 3 is known for its well-written quests–and even more so for the sometimes devastating potential behind some of the decisions that players can make. Furthermore, not always clear to players, when they’re faced with a decision in-game, exactly how big of an effect it’ll have on Geralt and the rest of the world. As players will also discover, it’s not just the “main story” quests that carry weight; unlike other RPGs, consequences in this game are found in side-quests and even seemingly simple Witcher contracts....

The art-style in Streets of Rage 4 looks to remain true to the original games but also gets updated for a more modern crowd. It’s a tough thing recreating a classic like Streets of Rage 4, especially when it’s been almost a quarter of a century since the first game came out. Back then, everything was all 16-bit pixels and limited color palettes. The technology at the time was so basic that you had to choose whether you wanted to have great graphics or great sound, and sacrifices had to be made at almost every design meeting....

Nintendo has added a couple of new outfits to Super Mario Odyssey, allowing the titular turtle-bashing plumber to dress up in a lovely Christmas-themed Santa outfit. The Santa Hat and Santa Outfit does exactly what it says on the tin: It lets Mario dress up as Father Christmas. To be fair, if you’re going to dress up any Ninty character as Santa, then it’s probably going to be Mario, right?...

Before What We Do in the Shadows was a series on FX, it was an independent film comedy shot in New Zealand, and written and directed by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. The pair more recently created the series and still occasionally direct episodes of the show, but Waititi’s schedule is getting awfully full these days, especially now that it’s been announced he will direct and co-write the next Star Wars movie, one of the biggest potential popcorn sellers currently in the world....
