Mario + Rabbids essentially showed us what a world of rabbid Mario characters would look and behave like (two bs! Although rabid Mario characters is a spin-off I’d play). The game saw these alternate, often hilarious creatures, fighting alongside the OG Mario, Peach, Luigi and the rest, firing unique weapons and teaming up to perform special attacks. This is all true in Sparks of Hope, except now the peace brought about at the end of the first game is rocked by a new enemy: Cursa....

When I look back on these times however, it’s not all Mario Sunshine and Rainbow Roads. No matter how brilliant, just how completely perfect Super Smash Bros. Ultimate felt in a group, there was always the looming presence of Super Smash Bros. at home. Anyone who’s played Super Smash Bros. Ultimate alone online will know it’s an absolutely miserable experience. Even though I’d confidently rank Super Smash Bros. Ultimate among my favourite games ever made, the frequently laggy and downright ancient online capabilities make it a game of two sides....

The fact that it assumes a little too much knowledge about its complicated universe. The streaming company has now put together an interactive map and accompanying chronological timeline of events taking place in The Witcher to help viewers follow along while they watch the show.

On top of the three videos uploaded by Valve, IGN also posted nine minutes of Half-Life Alyx gameplay. You can watch that one below, too. It’s all still a little ambiguous, but there are a few things you can take from away from between the Valve videos and the IGN one: it’s dark, it’s scary, there are crustacean-faced monsters, there’s a part that looks like where The Flood live in Halo, and there are loads and loads of derelict trains....

The Steam version of Nier: Automata is set to receive an upgrade patch on Steam, according to a tweet from the franchise’s official Twitter account. It’s honestly about time really, as the game has been in a bit of a sorry state since it was released on the service back in 2017.
