Palworld mods are already racing out the gate to expand options and tweak gameplay in the year’s biggest surprise hit so far. There aren’t a huge number of mods available for Palworld yet—it only just released—and what mods there are may be intermittently broken by future updates. Palworld is in early access, and developer Pocketpal…
And discuss Nintendo’s original response. The new “open-world survival and crafting game” Palworld has become insanely popular overnight, with sales surpassing the seven million mark and now supposedly overtaking first-week records of games like Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Of course, there’s also been a lot of debate about this game online – mostly in regards to…
EXS to impress. Japanese developer Frenchbread’s phenomenal anime fighter, Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late, impressed the heck out of us when it dropped in its final revised form on Switch back in 2020.

I’m currently in my fighting game training arc, and I gotta be real with you: It’s been a bumpy road. It’s not easy to do away with those button-mashing habits, and taking a fighting game seriously for the first time can be a dizzying info dump with all that frame data, move list and optimal…
After a wild two-year ride that saw it forced off Steam over allegations of source code theft, the “multiplayer war sandbox game” Myth of Empires is set to launch on Steam on February 21. For those who want to see what the game behind the kerfuffle is really all about, a closed technical test is…
Palworld probably isn’t going to have a meaningful impact on the direction of Pokémon games long term, but it absolutely might be charting the course for a whole new trend in survival crafting games: the era of little dudes with little jobs in your massive, NPC-automated bases.

We’re just a few days away from Tekken 8, and to say I’m excited is a bit of an understatement. I’ve been having an absolute blast playing the game—which you can read all about in my Tekken 8 review—and I’m anticipating the next Tekken World Tour in April, which’ll give us a great look at…
