When I first saw isometric city builder Metropolis 1998 back in January, it shot to the top of my wishlist because it lets you design and decorate every single building in your town. That's awesome. It's also oozing with pixelated charm thanks to the chunky retro graphics, making it feel like a nostalgic throwback but with modern features.
Is three years too early to discontinue one of the most popular GPUs in recent times? According to a report, Nvidia is getting ready to distribute the final batches of its GA106 graphics processor, the chip that powers the GeForce RTX 3060, and if that's the case, it would mean the jolly green giant has officially closed the doors on the GPU that's been top of the Steam hardware charts for ages.
Amazon Prime has released a first teaser trailer for its upcoming Like a Dragon: Yakuza adaptation. It's a short teaser, but definitely feels more gritty and serious than the games' sometimes goofy, always surreal brand of melodrama.
Like many, Gen Urobuchi, the creator of NetEases’s Rusty Rabbit, didn’t have much to do during the COVID-19 lockdown. Rather than binge a new show, pick up a new hobby, or dive deep into a book, he decided to create a 2.5D Metroidvania. This ultimately became a way for Urobuchi to express himself and process his feelings during this time. Some of us made bread during the pandemic; Urobuchi made a game about a race of adorable, gruff-voiced bunnies inheriting the Earth after humans abandoned it.
A former PlayStation head believes games would be better if we got "this platform war thing out of the way" and had "one standard home console."
Anyone who has played knows the sheer number of hours that can go into an island. When the game was at its peak during the confusing first weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, it offered a cozy reprieve and a way to connect with friends when face-to-face hangouts weren’t possible. The newest title in the well-loved Nintendo franchise boomed to a level of popularity that helped the Nintendo Switch soar in sales, making it near-impossible to find on the shelves three years after its launch.
Naoki Yoshida seems determined not to have a repeat of Endwalker's launch woes. Its release in 2021 was a real lightning-in-a-bottle moment: The pandemic was still causing full-blown lockdowns, World of Warcraft players were heading to Eorzea in droves, and the expansion was wrapping up a decade-long story. It was a game suffering from success, causing servers to buckle and the game to be pulled from sale for six weeks as things stabilised.
As a longtime fan of the series, I was one of those eager players who had preordered from the first moment it was available and, like many, enjoyed the safe haven of my island during the COVID-19 pandemic. My virtual island neighbors became my best friends, and the island itself was a place of comfort and a welcoming refuge for friends and family to gather virtually while quarantine was in place. I continued to faithfully visit my island throughout 2020, 2021, and most of 2022. I completed every task, filled the museum, enjoyed the DLC, and became rich with bells.
