“Can you beatArmored Core 6with no weapons?”, YouTuber ZeroLenny asked in their newest video. The answer is yes. You can punch your way through Rubicon without so much as touching an assault rifle or missile launcher. The run nearly ended with the tutorial as you’re handed guns without the option to access the assembly. That means you can’tcustomise your mechto remove them. But ZeroLenny found a workaround - you can charge into enemies to deal damage....

Well, one of you must have wished on a monkey’s paw or something, as it’s being reported that the duoaremaking a return… in a live-action movie....

One of my favourite parts of any convention is browsing the aisles of indie games and seeing what catches my eye, giving them a go, and leaving with a hefty wishlist. The downside is that you often have to wait for others to finish the demo before you can get hands-on yourself. It’s hard to stand there andnot watch.What else are you going to look at?But that means you might get a few things spoiled for you by watching someone else play, or perhaps even feel some backseat game rage if you realise the solution when the person playing hasn’t quite figured it out yet....

Spider-Mancan fly now! More or less, anyway. Peter Parker and Miles Morales have fitted a pair of web wings to their suits that allow them to glide through the air and take advantage of Manhattan’s unpredictable winds to soar across the city. It’s exhilarating in practice, and has become one of my primary means of navigation only a few hours into the game. But they do feel a smidge overpowered at times, diluting the fantasy of swinging across the city or trying to crawl on walls like the arachnid superheroes are supposed to....

Many people were surprised when the initial reviews forStarfieldcame out and its Metacritic aggregation landed in the 80s.Bethesdahad such a high pedigree that many expected the score to average out in the low 90s, but that wasn’t the case. For the first week and a half after release, I definitely thought the critics were wrong, as playing through the main story, faction questlines, and plenty of side quests was the best experience I’ve had all year....

As of this morning,Starfieldhas officially becomeBethesda Game Studios' biggest launch of all time, with over 6 million players acrossXboxand PC. You probably won’t be shocked to hear this, but Starfield has been a pretty big deal for Xbox. Before its launch, it was easily one of the most anticipated games of 2023 and even one of the most anticipated Xbox games of all time. With positive reviews across the board and it seeming like all anyone can talk about on social media at the moment, it was clear that Starfield has been a great launch for Bethesda, something that’s now been confirmed as record-breaking for the studio....

I never really used my shouting powers inThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. I got my Fus and my Roh and my Dah and called it a day. Yes, I’d stumble across other magic spells scribbled on ancient dragon murals as I explored, but seldom did they prove useful or gel with how I tend to play games like this. Most of them just felt superfluous, so when I found outStarfieldalso offers up magical powers - this time of the space variety - I was hoping for something more....

Reviews for the first 2D Super Mario game in over a decade,Super Mario Bros. Wonder, have just dropped a few days before the game’s launch and, unsurprisingly, they seem to be incredibly positive. Well, gamers, we’re finally here. The obscenely busy week of October is finally upon us and,just a few days after Spider-Man 2’s reviews droppedandSonic Superstars launched, we’ve just been hit with another doozy - Super Mario Bros. Wonder is, as you probably expected, rather good....

Animals are often the best parts ofDungeons & Dragons. Wild beasts add danger to a journey, and can set up unprovoked attacks that don’t need a lot of story justification. But they’re also fascinating creatures that can deepen an understanding of, and connection to, the world our characters explore. Unfortunately, thanks toBaldur’s Gate 3, I hate hollyphants now. Baldur’s Gate 3 is generally pretty good at including animals in the mix....

You stumble into a dreary, derelict mansion. Cold winds compliment a creaky foundation. But you’re not alone. The ghosts of those who were here before materialize to paint you a picture, one piece at a time. It’s up to you to learn the truth and to save what spirits you can. How can you do that? By solving arbitrary puzzles, of course! The 7th Guest VR is a haunted house-style puzzle game re-built for VR....

Summary There’s nothing quite like setting off on an adventure in a video game, whether your quest is so grand that the world is at stake, or your adventure takes place a little closer to home. TheNintendo Switch’s library is many games like this, allowing you to adventure at home or even on the go. Plenty of classic Nintendo series likeSuper MarioandThe Legend of Zeldafit into this, allowing you to escape into other worlds and step into the role of a hero....

After working through the first world and the early sections of the Petal Isles,Super Mario Wonderpresents you with Fluff-Puff Peaks. In typical fashion forSuper MarioWonder, it presents what would be a normal world style for a Mario game and gives it a twist. For this world, it is a version of a standard Mario snow-themed world, only the further up you get, the more it becomes a sky-themed world. After the variety in the first world, Fluff-Puff Peaks has a little more consistency, but this is compensated for with a gradual difficulty increase....
