UltraGoodness gave us an acute sense of deja vu. We knew we had played something like it before, but hadn’t considered that we had actually reviewed its successor two years ago. Confusingly, UltraGoodness has been released two years after UltraGoodness 2, presumably because Rasul Mono and Ratalaika Games felt like we needed some more UltraGoodness

What are the best indie Xbox games of 2023? There have been a fair few big hitters in terms of Xbox games in 2023 – the likes of Starfield, Hogwarts Legacy and Remnant II, all of which made an appearance on our best Xbox Games of 2023 list. But enough of them, it’s time to
In a recent interview in Japanese gaming magazine Weekly Famitsu, Super Mario Bros. Wonder director, Shiro Mouri, revealed a little more about the character choices. When it came to the loveable Yoshi they were originally going to include the egg throwing mechanic, which Yoshi has had in previous adventures. However, they felt that this wasn’t

Farming sims and ‘cozy’ games in general are increasing in popularity – probably due to the fact that they are an escape, a way to take you out of the real world for a while which, let’s face it, is appealing now more than ever. So, we picked up a controller and entered the world
The Guardian has had the opportunity to chat with the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto, and the conversation eventually got round to asking him if he has any plans at all to enter retirement. Mr. Miyamoto said that he has absolutely no plans to enter retirement, but he did say that he “thinks about things in a
Those who love fashion simulation games as much as I do will likely remember a series for the Nintendo and 3DS known as Style Savvy (also known as Style Boutique and Girls Mode). Developed by Syn Sophia, this series of games was exceptional. They each had their own stories as to how you came into
