Another great Octo Expansion. A few years ago, a cute new action-adventure game called Eastward released on most platforms, blending some appealing EarthBound-esque visuals with a narrative-driven game loop that’s vaguely reminiscent of the older Zelda games. We really enjoyed it, despite its flaws, and it seems that developer Pixpil had some more ideas it…
Novel graphics. Thanks to yesterday’s quarterly financial results from Nintendo, we have updated figures for the company’s best-selling games on Switch.
