It feels quite fitting that a game like Big Hops released today, the day after Awesome Games Done Quick wrapped up, because this thing feels like it has a guaranteed spot in Summer Games Done Quick already. You’re a frog! Who hops around! What’s not to love? It helps that the platformer feels so good in motion, too. If you’ve not heard of Big Hops before let me give you the proper run down. You play as Hop (get it?), a happy-go-lucky frog that is fooled into unleashing a mischievous spirit called Diss that I was half convinced…
No game bugs like Dwarf Fortress bugs. From legendary dogs founding religions to dwarves growing too nervous to take the bins out (i.e. tend the refuse stockpile), this game is the master of emergent narrative storytelling, and each new bug is writ in the proverbial book of lore by its fans. The latest chapter may be a little unsafe for work however, as dwarves across the world have been dropping their keks and going about their business starkers. To translate that into US English: they’re all naked. The bug reared its head after the previous update, with players noticing their…
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa says the company is keeping a close eye on Switch 2’s profit margin as the increase in memory prices and ongoing tariffs remain an ongoing issue in the industry.In an interview with Kyoto Shimbun (paywalled but read by VGC), Furukawa was asked what the challenges were regarding Switch 2’s lower profit margin than that of the original Switch.“Hardware profitability depends on factors like component procurement conditions, cost reductions through mass production, and the impact of exchange rates and tariffs,” Furukawa said (via machine translation).“It’s difficult to generalize. Fundamentally, we aim to address this by advancing component…
The Nintendo 64 was infamous for its lack of traditional role-playing games, especially in light of the booming success JRPGs were having on the PS1 in the wake of Final Fantasy 7. The platform’s most traditional RPG is probably Quest 64 – an infamous game that’s nonetheless getting full recompilation effort from fans, which could end up delivering a robust PC remaster of a long-maligned game.Fans of numerous N64 games have been at work on decompilation projects, where they essentially pick apart a game’s code to understand every aspect of it. Recompilation, then, is the process of putting that code…
What’s the genre called for games that recreate a desktop PC interface? There’s gotta be a name right, there’s enough games to justify it, but PC game is kind of already taken as a term. In any case, while we ponder over that question, let’s look at an upcoming addition to that genre, Imprinted, a horror game where you are tasked with restoring mysterious, damaged cassette tapes. You are Vincent Brandt – no, not you, you, the game you, you – an ” engineer specialized in audio restoration of all sorts,” who has been contacted over these aforementioned…
Can you smell that? Eau de résistance, baby. There’s nothing quite like toppling the ruler of a dystopian world and rebuilding it from the ashes of tyranny, which is what Reignbreaker delivers in droves. It is one of the best roguelikes you probably haven’t tried yet, and it emulates the Hades 2 style with an isometric-like view of combat. It is very much a game that you should try, and excitingly, you might even be able to get it for under $1 in this new bundle. In all honesty, when Reignbreaker launched, I didn’t give it a second thought. Burned…
