Preserve looks like a relaxing puzzle blend of Dorfromantik and Terra Nil

I love the idea of cosy living, which is why it was that Tiny Living update that dragged me back into The Sims 4 for a few years there. The issue of course, is that in real life, if forced to live in a space the size of the interior of a camper van, I would pile things on every surface within about 12 hours. Chaos would reign. I would hate it. But I don't hate the idea of it, which is why i enjoy things like Outbound, which is a game about living in a camper van.

We were fortunate enough to receive remasters of a trio of classic LucasArts point-and-click adventures on PS4, and it's now looking like they're being ported to PS5 too. Grim Fandango, Full Throttle, and Day of the Tentacle are all playable on Sony's previous console (and technically PS5 as well), but it seems the current-gen system will soon have native versions of its own.

It's been nearly a full decade since the launch of Valiant Hearts: The Great War, an emotional gut-punch of a game from Ubisoft. Nobody expected the publisher to make a sequel, but that's exactly what we got back in early 2023 — but it only released on mobile, and only to Netflix subscribers. After some recent evidence was dug up, though, it appears Valiant Hearts: Coming Home is console-bound.

A Skyrim player took inspiration from the world of Conan the Barbarian and remade the titular character in the game. Making effective use of the game's character creator, the Skyrim player replicated Conan as a digital facsimile and shared the steps they took to recreate the character with other players on social media.

The original NES console has a fatal flaw in the form of an unreliable pin connector that can make getting cartridges to work a massive pain on aging systems. Various aftermarket solutions have existed for some time, but they've all come with compromises and caveats. Now, at last, it looks like a group of modders have finally gotten to what might just be the perfect solution.

Spy x Anya: Operation Memories looks like an appropriately-dumb riff on the Spy x Family extravaganza, and now it has a release date.

One Marvel's Spider-Man 2 player accidentally came across a funny yet frustrating bug while web-swinging in the game. The game has been out for around three months now, and while many players have already completed it to 100%, many others have still been finding bugs and glitches that make for a hilarious Spider-Man 2 experience.

An Elden Ring player shared a short video of a hilarious invasion which ended up looking like a Looney Tunes episode. Invasions in Elden Ring are a fun little diversion that provides players a chance to engage in PvP fights, battling it out in competitive multiplayer without the confines of being in the Colosseum. Sometimes, invasions will even lead to interesting situations that turn out to be more entertaining than the solo gaming experience itself.

If you’re a fan of the Mega Man Zero series but always thought it was a tad slow, you’ll want to keep an eye on Berserk Boy. The action-platformer from the appropriately-named BerserkBoy Games is coming to Nintendo Switch and PC on March 6. 

Deckbuilding has become a hugely popular genre in recent years thanks to brilliant titles like Hearthstone, Slay the Spire, and Inscryption. They're easy to pick up and play but tough to master, and undoubtedly keep you coming back for more. Soon to be joining their ranks is Acolyte of the Altar from Black Kite Games, which, as well as compelling card-based antics, looks set to bring something new to the table.

Starfield's "biggest update yet" rolled out last week, adding many stability improvements and graphical enhancements, including some pretty dazzling changes to the RPG's lighting effects.

The former chief legal officer for The Pokémon Company International has said that the breakout hit Palworld looks like “ripoff nonsense”.
