One of 2023's most notable sleeper hits is the action-puzzle game Cocoon. It's a type of puzzle game that showcases dense and detailed environments and a particularly clever take on traversing multiple worlds, blending exploration with puzzle-solving. As more attention has been given to the game post-launch, the developer behind Cocoon recently shared on social media a never-before-seen look at an early prototype, showcasing what the game looked like in its early stages and how it got to where it is today.

PlayStation has taken over the Las Vegas Sphere, a day after Xbox used the venue to paint the Nevada skyline green.
The venue, which is an 18,600-seat entertainment arena, features 580,000 sq ft of LED surrounding the building. According to a pitch deck for the venue, a one-day advertising campaign on the Vegas Sphere costs roughly $450,000.
PlayStation’s Sphere ad showed an up-close look at Peter Parker’s Spider-Man, Miles Morales’ Spider-Man, and Venom, followed by a shot of the cover art.
Microsoft ran an Xbox advertisement on Las Vegas’s new Sphere venue on Thursday, filling the city skyline with its own spherical logo.

The Spider-Man 2 review embargo lifted on Monday and critics have heaped praise on the title, making it one of Insomniac’s highest rated games to date.
“Marvel Spider-Man 2 is an incredibly confident sequel and one of 2023’s best games,” according to VGC’s 5-star review.

I can't get over the fact this Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 4K offer isn't a Black Friday deal
I already have a 4K 144Hz gaming monitor, but I'm low key itching to click buy on this Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 deal. It almost feels like Best Buy has hit the big Black Friday discount button a tad early, as the 43-inch quantum mini LED panel is currently half price. Normally, I'd only recommend this monitor to players with a premium PC, but I reckon anyone looking for something half decent should just get stuck in.
