Battlefield 6 has added a new mode for players who just want to complete challenges and take it easy. Casual Breakthrough has already been added to the main menu and will offer a far chiller version of Battlefield 6, where players can go to take shelter from the sweats and professional jet pilots. “We understand…
‘Dark Empires’ was a dragon-based RTS for the Sega Mega Drive. The video game preservation website Hidden Palace has just released a prototype of Sega Technical Institute’s dragon-based real-time strategy game Dark Empires, in collaboration with the Sega Retro researcher Alexander Rojas. Dark Empires began life at Sega Technical Institute in 1990, shortly after the…
Tactical Breach Wizards was one of my favourite games from last year—you can read my full thoughts in my Tactical Breach Wizards review—but in case you’re unfamiliar, it’s a turn-based tactical RPG with great writing, interesting worldbuilding, and a razor-sharp sense of humour. It also just happens to be a really solid tactics game on…
Completing the What We Left Behind mission in Arc Raiders has a couple of tricky steps, including tracking down multiple hidden Raider Camps throughout different regions. Tian Wen, Speranza’s resident gun nut, wants you to head to these camps and salvage whatever you can find for her. While one of these camps is really easy…
The Reduced to Rubble quest in Arc Raiders is a little odd. It’s not actually that hard when you know what you have to do, but since your first task includes photographing a location, I immediately found myself wondering whether I needed a camera (which isn’t even an item). And then you have the vague…
Kiryu need some space. Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio are expanding the Yakuza / Like A Dragon franchise on the Switch 2 with the upcoming releases of Kiwami and Kiwami 2, and thanks to updated store pages on the eShop, we now have the file sizes. Interestingly, neither game comes close to Yakuza 0:…

I hate the exploding mushrooms that always send me hurtling off the mountain, and the fact that everything can and will poison you. Not to mention the ticks. Luckily, a new biome is rolling out this week on November 5,…
Sonic & Knuckles (& Arkagis Revolution). While some people still criticise Sega’s decision to effectively split Sonic 3 into two releases by holding back content for Sonic & Knuckles, I still think it’s one of the coolest hardware gimmicks of all time. Being able to ‘unlock’ bonus content by combining cartridges is something that appeals…
Dimitrescu joins forces with… BABYMETAL? Capcom has announced a new collaboration between Resident Evil and Japanese metal group BABYMETAL, but its debut has fans divided on the franchise’s apparent obsession with Lady Dimitrescu. The collaboration will result in some special Resident Evil / BABYMETAL merchandise landing in 2026, presumably to directly coincide with the series’…
‘Sonic GX’ is now available. Sega’s iconic mascot Sonic the Hedgehog has finally arrived on the GX4000 and Amstrad Plus, courtesy of a new fan port. Sonic GX has been in development since 2019 and has actually appeared on Time Extension in the past, following the release of a preview video that covered the game’s…
