Although The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales features the iconic HD-2D style of other Square Enix gems like Octopath Traveler – it is led by those studio veterans, after all – it has not managed to escape comparisons to The Legend of Zelda series.That doesn’t mean developers drew inspiration from Nintendo’s beloved franchise, however – in fact, Square Enix looked to its own games while working on The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. Producer Naofumi Matsushita reveals as much during a new interview with Polygon, explaining that the team actually expected comparisons to Zelda, nonetheless. Honestly, it’s not…

The move comes as Epic prepares for what it’s calling “the final battle” against Apple, with which it has had some major beef regarding App Store fees. “Fortnite is now back on the App Store worldwide,” a statement from Epic reads, “after Apple told…

Well, here’s an unexpected yet intriguing crossover. One of the central writers on Destiny 2’s The Final Shape expansion has been enlisted by CD Projekt Red for the upcoming, as-yet-untitled The Witcher multiplayer game.Kwan Perng revealed his new employer himself on LinkedIn, but he makes it clear details are very hush-hush right now. “I’ve joined CD Projekt Red as the lead writer on Project Sirius,” he says. “It will be some time before I can talk about the project, but in the meantime I’ve been immersing myself in the dark and eclectic universe of The Witcher.

Arc Raiders devs Embark have announced that they’re going to be rolling out Denuvo anti-cheat software as part of efforts to limit the amount of dodgy behaviour going on the shooter. The studio said they’ll be working to minimise any impact this has on performance, as they also deliver a new trader and weapon as part of a small update teased when they revealed the game’s switch to bi-annual major expansions.
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is Nintendo’s most unique 2D platformer in a long time.The dinosaur’s expedition through a magical, anthropomorphic book powers along with the kind of breathless imagination typically associated with mainline Super Mario adventures, with new ideas and gameplay mechanics stretching across the margins of its pages until they run out of paper.It’s a brilliant, creatively rich sidescroller that will appeal to young children, while simultaneously offering depth and nostalgia – if not much raw challenge – to older players who remember Yoshi’s solo debut on the Super NES. As a member of the latter camp, Mysterious…
Now that Subnautica 2 is finally here, players have been voicing their thoughts on the new survival game – including concerns over its end-user license agreement.If you haven’t read its EULA, Subnautica 2’s agreement has a few worrying highlights, as one fan notes on Reddit. These range from not allowing players to use a VPN while playing to, erm, not being allowed to “go against ‘social norms'” – whatever that means – and the inability to sue the previous publisher, Krafton. It’s concerning, to say the least, especially amid all the Stop Killing Games discussions online. Folks in the comments…
The Steam store is a beautiful, sacred thing, and not just because of all the sales. It’s a celebration of PC gaming, espousing community values and player-friendly policies. However, there’s an element of goodwill that makes it all tick, and bad actors breaking their end of the bargain can cause major issues for players. Beyond The Dark looked like an innocuous-enough indie horror game, but beneath the surface it was full of data-gobbling malware. While it has now been removed from Steam, I’m surprised that gaming the system seemed to be rather easy. Beyond The Dark was originally released on…
The Elite Series 2 has been one of the most influential gaming controllers ever to launch. Originally launching in 2019, so many rival gamepads have taken design cues from it. From magnetic back paddles to adjustable stick tension, to fully remappable buttons, to even Sony producing its own homemade pro controller – the Elite Series 2 transcended the Xbox Series X controller-sphere, so when I heard that there were leaked images of what looks like its sequel, I had high expectations.I hate to admit it, but as someone who reviews gaming controllers week in, week out, I would argue that…
Valve have revealed a round of changes to the tags which can be applied to games on the Steam store. The ones designed to give you a brief idea of the genres or themes you’re in for if you opt to give any specific game a go, as well as grouping together similar works. 17 new tags have been added as a result of this rather substantial revamp, while 28 have been consigned to the scrapheap, and merging or updating several others.
