Last year’sIllumineer’s Quest, Deep Trouble, was one ofDisney Lorcana’sbest surprises. No other TCG is doing these kinds of narrative-driven, co-op spin-offs, and in just two iterations, they’ve become an important part of what makes Lorcana stand out in a sea of other card games. It’s one thing to offer players an alternative, cooperative way to enjoy the game, but it’s another to deliver that experience in such a thoughtfully-made and well-designed package....

That’s right, surprising absolutely nobody, Donkey Kong Bananza is a very good game. What we’ve been shown of the first 3D Donkey Kong game this century strongly suggested it was going to be great, but as soon asNintendo confirmed Bananza was developed by the same team that made Super Mario Odyssey, we all knew it was in very safe hands....

Summary It looks likeDragon Ball’s MOBA, Project Multi, is going to be re-revealed soon, as its seemingly final (and very strange) name has been spotted onSteam.

After the success ofBaldur’s Gate 3,Wizards of the Coastset a really high bar for itself. With Larian delivering one of the best RPGs to have ever been made, Wizards probably had to rethink its video game strategy. This is perhaps what led to last year’s cancellation of Project Dante, aDungeons & Dragonsthemed RPG by Hidden Path Entertainment, along with several other titles. At the time, Hidden Path didn’t reveal anything, butstudio founder Michael Austin eventually took to LinkedInto announce that they had to let 44 developers go in light of the cancellation....

Despite featuring some of Disney’s most iconic fairytale couples,Kingdom Heartsdoesn’t explore love and romance very much. Sora never really mentions or comments on ‘love’, either. That is, until Kingdom Hearts 3. In the Pirates of the Caribbean world, Davy Jones sees Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan, and moments later says, “Ah… love. A dreadful bond. And yet, so easily severed.” Sora jumps in and responds, “That’s not true! I may still have a lot to learn about love, but I know what it means to share my heart with others....
