Mighty No. 9 was a big deal when it kicked off on Kickstarter in 2013. A Mega Man-like sidescroller headed up by original Mega Man veteran Keifi Inafune—can’t miss, right? But it did miss, and rather badly. Multiple delays led up to a game that wasn’t great, late-arriving physical editions were also disappointing, and by…
As it nears its 24th birthday, Final Fantasy 11 is still quietly chugging along. And while FF14’s older, weirder MMO sibling has settled into a comfortable rhythm of incremental maintenance updates, its more than two decades of layered expansions and legacy systems still manage to produce some fascinating weirdness. Sometimes that means needing to navigate…

When it came time to choose my personal pick in our 2025 Game of the Year awards, one game jumped right out at me. Absolum is a brilliantly clever hybrid of classic side-scrolling beat-’em-up combat with a roguelike framework, and I’m not sure it ever quite got the buzz it deserved. It seems like it…
Dream scenario. After a particularly packed Nintendo Direct, we’ve got our first glimpse at the official Switch box art for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream (yes, it’s very cute) and the all-important price. Let’s kick things off with the price tag, eh? The game is now available to pre-order from the UK, European and North…
