Finding a use for the Twisted Bud in Hollow Knight: Silksong feels pretty urgent, especially as this item won’t stop screaming every time you open your inventory screen until you do. This humble plant actually has multiple quests dedicated to it, including a special Act 2 ending you can achieve if you’re willing to finish…
Multiple genres in one easy-to-store package. Japanese dev outfit Sting has just announced Baroque YA, a collection of four games from the genre-spanning series, will release on Switch (in Japan only, for now) on 18th December. Originally released for the Sega Saturn all the way back in the Spice Girls-heady days of 1998, the first…
Hey! Remember XXX Nightshift? That was one of the five (count ’em) Disco Elysium successor games that made headlines last year. It was an isometric game where you play a cop stranded at a luxury Antarctic ski resort when a bunch of murders happen, with dialogue presented in a strip down the side of the…
The iconic Doom-inspired Hellwalker shotgun returns in Borderlands 4. Unfortunately, it’s a little less cool this time around (or more cool, I suppose) now that it’s lost its fire element, but it’s still a powerful shotgun that plays guitar riffs—what more could you want?

Amid all the hype for Hades 2’s release later this month, it can be all too easy to forget that there’s already one of the best roguelike dungeon crawlers sitting around on Steam: regular old Hades. And it’s not only a great time to dive into the OG ahead of the sequel’s launch, it also…
“Coming soon” to Steam. Earlier this week, the UK indie developer Sinclair Strange and the video game music label/game publisher Scarlet Moon announced that they are collaborating on a new game that pays tribute to the Sega Master System and “the glorious 8-Bit days”. Sir Noggin is a colourful new platformer that is “coming soon”…
High score! There is a lot to be distracted by in the Donkey Kong Bananza DLC. It might be the beautifully reimagined DK Island, the fast and frantic Emerald Rush mode or… actually, that’s about it. But those are two pretty distracting things! Distracting enough, we’d say, for a sneaky Easter Egg to slip under…
Free blades if you’ve played TOTK or AoC. It’s not too long now until we finally get our hands on Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment on Switch 2, with that 2nd November release date rapidly approaching. To sate our appetites in the interim, Nintendo has dropped a new teaser trailer showing off Koei Tecmo’s very…
The game company, that is – not the singer or the famous wrestler. The Japanese game developer and publisher Sting is bringing out a new collection for the Nintendo Switch later this year, featuring four titles from the company’s post-apocalyptic series, Baroque (thanks Gematsu!). The collection, which is called Baroque-Ya, will release on December 18th…
