Steam Deck: A Device For All Seasons
The Steam Deck is a very cool little handheld, and one that’s becoming increasingly popular. Only one thing is stopping me from buying it: I want to play everything on my TV. I figured that older games and indies would be a shoo-in for the portable. It’s basically what the Switch is, right? But the idea of playing something that’s supposed to be big and beautiful and epic on a tiny screen feels like watching Lord of the Rings on…

Bring Back Gravity Rush
As Sony’s concerns over profit margins were discussed and rediscussed the web over, there was one mantra that it was hard to escape from. That mantra was BRING BACK GRAVITY RUSH. I’m with you, Kat fans. That series was the perfect combination of cute and clever. It was like nothing else, and that’s a real shame. There should be more games like it. But there aren’t. Why? Because they’re not as wildly successful as, say, Spider-Man. You can take a…

GameScent: The Stink of AI
How much would you spend to be able to smell the things you can see on your screen? If your answer was a sensible “absolutely nothing”, you’re about $150 off. That’s exactly what GameScent is offering. And no, we don’t know why. In the history of gaming, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a single tweet, forum post or opinion piece saying “Ya know what? It would be pretty cool to be able to smell this game”. There are probably…

Metroidvania Fusion, An Event Dedicated to Diversity Within the Genre, March 04-11
There is something extremely satisfying to me, when I am playing a Metroidvania. I tried to ask myself today, what makes this particular genre so special to me? I believe it may be because this genre has existed since back when I played on my Nintendo, but we didn’t actually have a name for it yet. I see a Metroidvania as some of the earliest titles of a Zelda game, or even Super Mario Brothers, and the thing is, many…

Xbox Podcast Was Fair and Focussed – But It Was Too Late
Four Xbox will come to PlayStation, Game Pass will continue getting day one releases and the next Xbox will be the “biggest generational leap yet”. Those were all announcements at the Xbox business update podcast, and it was fair and well-explained. And while they stopped short of saying which four Xbox games would be jumping ship – pun intended – they also refused to rule out future releases. This is testing the waters. It’s still a risk that they’ve not…

I smell something delicious… Could it be a Magical Delicacy Metroidvania?
I have to be honest, when I first heard of Magical Delicacy I didn’t understand how it would be a game about cooking and simulation but also a Metroidvania. Well, I recently had the pleasure to try the demo of the game during Steam Next Fest, and I fell in love with the game completely. The concept is perfect for every cozy gamer, and wait until you experience the beautiful scenery, music, NPC characters and just the environment as a…

Baffling Xbox First Party Shift is a Ridiculous Gambit
Xbox look set to release all of their games onto PlayStation and Nintendo consoles, and in the very near future. And despite a large amount of theorising, that’s about all we know. But that is bad enough. This is very much a breaking news story, and I held off writing anything in the hopes that Microsoft were sensible enough to put out an official statement overnight. But it hasn’t happened. A variety of leakers and insiders have confirmed separately that…
