Back when Lil Gator Game arrived in the forgotten year of 2022, it received RPS’ coveted Bestest Bests badge because, well, it was just so darn delightful! And in the years since, developer MegaWobble have been tinkering away at a seemingly Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom influenced bit of DLC. Which, as it just so happens, has just been released today! For the intrepid adventurer who knows no fear, this DLC, titled In the Dark, sees the titular gator head into an entirely underground – and still wonderfully whimsical looking – underground area that apparently doubles the size…
Nvidia has just announced that its new GeForce Now app for Amazon Fire TV devices is finally available, making it super easy to play PC games on TVs or other Amazon Fire TV-enabled devices. Arriving a month after its initial reveal, the new app means gamers only need a Bluetooth controller to get gaming and enjoy up to RTX 5080-level performance. Being able to play PC games from just about anywhere in the world has long been a hope and dream of many gamers, whether it’s the desire to be able to fire up Fortnite on your phone, tap into…
Breath of the Wild was a massive shakeup for the Zelda series and one of the more successful reinventions in recent memory, but the team at Nintendo didn’t fully know it was the right call until they started seeing some of the unexpected ways players were tinkering around with the game’s reactive systems.Hidemaro Fujibayashi, director for Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and longtime series producer Eiji Aonuma looked back on the open-world pivot in a conversation published in Keza MacDonald’s new book Super Nintendo (via Polygon).”There were times that I’d see something on YouTube and…
The fine frigate which serves as the featured image for this article is called the Stately Gunwale. That’s not a name I, the boat’s creator, gave it. It’s a name ShipShaper’s demo automatically assigned my vessel when I picked the set of colours I wished it to be painted. Quite frankly, I doubt I could have dreamed up a more fitting moniker for my deliberate attempt to fling something funky onto the high seas.
The last few weeks have seen the release of a few games with somewhat… interesting… personalities. Mewgenics is a strategy game with an odd sense of humour, Romeo Is a Dead Man is a rather bizarre action game, and High on Life 2 is an FPS game targeting a very specific sort of person. I’ve been playing Squanch Games’ sequel this week, and I wish it leaned into its shooting more than it does during its early hours. Far too often, High on Life 2 gets distracted by absolute nonsense it thinks is funny. In just the first couple of…

Trouble in paradise? Maybe. Trouble in Doll Town? Definitely – it’s now 24 hours before the viral horror game Welcome to Doll Town is meant to launch on February 13, and its developer still doesn’t know if Valve will let it.Recently, it feels like solo developer Bad Wish Games has been crowned king of my Instagram feed with clips of Doll Town, a cursed adventure game where the little girl Yumi must explore an abandoned town that used to manufacture lifelike dollies. “Doll Town now rots in silence and shadows,” says the game’s Steam description – but it’s too much…
This is probably a sentence that could be said literally any day of the week, but a new cosy farming sim is on the block, this time taking the form of Starsand Island. The flavour on this occasion is of the anime variety, with some slightly goofier farming mechanics (i.e. turning your watermelon patch into one singular, 10 foot tall watermelon), some very Pokemon Legends: Arceus looking combat, and some appropriately cute animals to hang out with. And there’s skateboarding! But never do launches go all that smoothly, as developer Seed Sparkle Lab have had to do a dash…
After weeks of teasers, Battlefield Studios has fully unveiled all the content coming to Battlefield 6 Season 2. Once again spread out across three phases, there are two new maps, a bunch of guns, and some limited-time modes on offer for the core game, as well as some new Redsec content too. Given that the new season was pushed back by four weeks, however, I was really expecting more. Here’s my deal with Battlefield 6. The first couple of weeks, I was buzzing from the fact that Battlefield was back and that the majority of the mistakes made in 2042…
