Peakmight be a story abouta bunch of scouts desperately trying to surviveafter being stranded on a desert island, but its cartoon aesthetic and silly co-operative antics make it far more lighthearted than something likeYellowjackets. Still, the community is desperate for a bit of light cannibalism. After all, is it really a story about being trapped in the wilderness without snacking on your fellow man? Unfortunately, however, developer Aggro Crab doesn’t feel the same....

Personaprotagonists all have pretty different vibes. Sure, they’re all designed to be blank slates that you can imprint your own personality onto, but they still have fun little qualities outside of that.Persona 3protagonist Makoto comes off as angsty and moody,Persona 4protagonist Yu feels the most like a leader, and Ren fromPersona 5is undoubtedly the goofiest of the lot. There is one similarity that runs through all of them though, and that’s the seemingly distant relationships they have with their parents....

I have an interesting relationship withAtlusgames.Persona 4 GoldenandPersona 5 Royalare two of my all-time favorites, while I adoredPersona 3 Reloadand Metaphor: ReFantazio when they both came out last year. Outside of that, however, I’ve found everything else from the studio a challenge to get into. Admittedly, I’ve never touched a mainlineShin Megami Tenseigame, butTokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encoredidn’t click, and every single Persona 5 spin-off has been as dull as dishwater....

We loveNintendo.For so many reasons. Most pertain to its unrivaled string of world-class video games, often populated by many of the most iconic characters to ever grace the medium. Perhaps it’s a somewhat less universally reason, but the Big N’s commitment to “gimmicks” - revolutionary concepts in its hardware which have helped to define each generation - are consistently handy reminders that Nintendo often leads the pack in innovation. While we’re specifically looking athome consolesin this list, rather than branching out into Nintendo’s handhelds, we hope you’ll enjoy the journey down gimmick memory lane!...

It’s been a rough year already for video game preservationists, still desperately clinging onto the hopes that physical media will remain for a good long while (don’t worry, I’m right there with you.) Not only hasNintendothrown a spanner in the workswith its Game-Key Cards system for the Nintendo Switch 2, but it seems as thoughXbox may have stopped selling physical discs altogether. It’s making physical collectors worry a lot more about the future, and now we have a new worry to throw on top of the pile....
