With the release of Stardew Valley Update 1.6, both new and returning players have been jumping in to try out each of the different starter farms, leading many to share their farm layouts to assist and inspire others.
The Best Video Game Stories of All Time
04.04.2024 - 18:41 / gameranx.com / Nathan Drake / Nintendo
There are some people in the gaming space who believe that narrative titles “aren’t that successful” or “aren’t needed” anymore. Those people can eff…I mean, they need to change their mindsets. So allow us to show you some of the best video game stories ever told.
This might seem like an odd game to start the list off with, but Fire Emblem Three Houses is the best-selling game in the franchise, and a large part of that is the FOUR branching storylines that happen within the title.
Set in the medieval yet magical world of Fodlan, you’ll play Professor Byleth and choose a group of young people to teach. That choice will drastically affect the story that plays out.
Between the support conversations and the main plotlines, you’ll soon see why fans loved this game so much and look forward to the next one that tries to top the tales of Dimitri, Edelgard, Claude, and Byleth. They’re that gripping at times.
Another “oddity” in the grand scheme of this list, but worthy nonetheless, The Wolf Among Us was a proud creation of TellTale Games during its prime. It took us to a universe where fairy tale creatures lived in our world and yet were trying to stay hidden.
Having us play as Bigby, aka the “Big Bad Wolf,” to solve a series of deaths was brilliant, and that led to a complex and weaving narrative told over the course of several chapters.
Outside of a certain game, we’ll talk about later, this was Telltale’s best game, and that’s why fans want its sequel to arrive. And it will…eventually…
Sticking with “episodic titles,” the original Life is Strange was a five-part game that lets you play as someone who had the power to rewind time and used it to try and save their best friend. But as both the story and the series grew, so did the concepts and themes that were attached to them.
This is a deeply emotional franchise, and it’s one that tries to appeal to people from all walks of life, which isn’t always a guarantee in the gaming space.
It may not have hit the mainstream like others on this list, but that doesn’t mean that its story doesn’t prove why stories like it need to be told.
Some might be mad that Nathan Drake’s final game is so low on this list, but if you really think about Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, it may have been an “end,” but it’s not one that was specifically needed. This story finally brought Nathan’s brother to life and led Drake on one last grand adventure that had all the set pieces, and action beats that you would expect from the franchise.
We honestly could’ve put the second entry here in its place, but we did want to praise Naughty Dog for not “going back on their word” by bringing back Nathan because it sold well. His tale is done, but his legacy might be living on through another…

Mario Kart 8 Study Claims to Have Found the Best Racer and Kart Combo in the Game
A Mario Kart 8 Deluxe study has found the best combination of playable character and customizable vehicle build, with the most optimal option being Peach with a Teddy Buggy. The Mario Kart franchise has had a history of character tiers, where certain playable characters end up outclassing others in the game. These tiers are usually based on the most optimal character to hit the top speed, accelerate, and handle on the track. Heavyweight characters have traditionally been the most common choice for expert Mario Kart players, as seen with characters like Bowser in Super Mario Kart or Funky Kong and the Flame Runner in Mario Kart Wii.

A free retro Nintendo game emulator is now live on the Apple App Store, and because of recent changes made to Apple's app review guidelines, it's actually permitted to be on there.

15 Best Game Boy Advance Games Of All Time
The Game Boy Advance was a landmark achievement for Nintendo when it first released in 2001. As the successor to the wildly popular Game Boy Color, it had big shoes to fill, but its release heralded a few major design changes that would inform the future of Nintendo's handheld launches. Its adoption of a landscape presentation that moved buttons and the D-Pad to the side of the screen became stock for the release of the DS, 3DS, and Switch, and its backward compatibility helped push the notion that it was an evolution of a larger family of handhelds that would be worthy investments for years to come.
