DK Bananza takes out “best gameplay” award. In case you missed it, Gamescom gives out awards every year, and while Nintendo didn’t even feature last year, it’s back in 2025 with a few wins. These awards call on a “panel of expert gaming jurors” and the community to decide the winners. The recent Switch 2…
Marathon looks pretty groovy, but it’s got one big problem and it goes by the name of Arc Raiders.
