Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 developer Sandfall Interactive has claimed yet another win, and as videogame trophies go, this one is pretty rare. The studio has been awarded the Order of Arts and Letters by France’s Ministry of Culture, an honor that acknowledges “people who have distinguished themselves through their creations in the artistic or literary…
Surprise, surprise—the Stardew Valley 1.7 update is making a ton of noise in the new year, and it just so happens the beloved farming sim celebrates its tenth anniversary soon.

It’s only two months away. Universal Pictures and Illumination have just dropped a brand new teaser for the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which comes to cinemas across North America and Europe on 1st April 2026. The Level Up teaser gives us another look at the mix of Mario worlds and inspirations, but there’s a…
I like puzzle games but I’m not especially good at them, so it’s very important to me that any puzzle game I play finds the sweet spot between looking difficult, but not actually being difficult. I love The Talos Principle games, for instance, but I noped out of the third part of the Road to…
