A sequel to 2011's, expands upon its predecessor in fun new ways while still keeping the trademark silliness that made the first so beloved. Developed by Snoozy Kazoo and published by Grafitti Games, the title eschews the melee focus of the original and shifts to a more shoot 'em up style with delightful results. Though it's not a very long or complex title, its fast-paced style, inventive weaponry and quests, and frequent laugh-out-loud moments make for an incredibly enjoyable journey.
Taking place just a few days after the events of the first game, the titular vegetable is almost immediately brought back into the world of crime by Dillitini, the Pickled Gang's leader. The fedora-clad pickle recruits Turnip Boy to help steal the Botanical Bank's fortune, which is done through a roguelite-style loop of bank runs and warehouse visits for supplies. The bank is full of creative environments, enemies, NPCs, and loot as well as a few boss fights, and while runs can sometimes feel a bit repetitive, the bank as a whole is great fun to explore.
A new spin on an old classic shows Turnip Boy has even more depth than expected.
The exploration of the Botanical Bank is done through incremental progress, beginning in the lobby and slowly expanding as Turnip Boy explores and defeats bosses to earn keycards and access new areas. A timer in the corner — which starts with only three minutes, but can be upgraded — counts down to when police will arrive on the scene, meaning players must prioritize their tasks on each visit. This really helps keep things engaging, and it's very easy to fall into a "" loop with how short each one is.
While hasn't received a huge graphical upgrade from its predecessor, there's still a noticeable improvement between the two, and the varied biomes and enemies of the bank are a delight. The building is also full of both new and old NPCs, with lots of returning characters from the first that make reference to their history with the protagonist. Just as in the first game, many characters will have delightfully silly side quests for Turnip Boy to embark on, ranging from rock collecting to shaking down an anthropomorphic lime for divorce papers.
The warehouse features several important mechanics that relate to how Turnip Boy progresses. There are a few ways for players to spend the money they steal and shakedown from NPCs, the first of which is the Dark Web, where players can purchase quest items and tools to access new areas. The other money sink is Robo-Rafael's performance enhancers, which can do things like increase melee or bullet damage, increase health or the run timer, or even give Turnip Boy a Canadian bag of milk that serves as a sentient companion.

Mortal Kombat has wrapped filming, and to mark the occasion Karl Urban shared a snap of himself on set. The Boys star plays Johnny Cage in the sequel, and we’ve only had a very brief tease of his character so far with this typically obnoxious picture.
After putting 2,460 hours into The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, series superfan Bobby Blue Holliday has turned to Tears of the Kingdom and now spent over 1,500 hours on a self-imposed quest to become "the first player on the planet to manually cap all materials in-game."
Palworld, the new survival game that's been dubbed "Pokemon with guns," is off to a massive start since officially launching this morning, and players have already been making allllll kinds of discoveries. One of them, however, is, well... it's a little dark.
The best upgrades you can get in help enhance many of Sargon's items and weapons to deal with the first big challenges faced on Mount Qaf. A particular improvement may change a difficult boss fight into a much easier encounter. Since many upgrades are very cheap toward the start of the game, you may have a hard time choosing one.
David Szymanski, developer of acclaimed horror titles like Dusk and Iron Lung, has just released his latest game, The Pony Factory. Featuring a striking black-and-white aesthetic and gruesome horse skeleton enemies, it looks just as brilliantly bone-chilling as his previous offerings, and it's certainly gone down well on Steam. At the time of writing, it's got a "very positive" rating from players and is flying high on Steam's New and Trending chart. That being said, it's not quite managed to make it all the way to the top of said chart, and it's all because of a turnip on a crime spree.
Another Code: Recollection is the new Switch remake of the Nintendo-published DS and Wii cult-classic story-driven adventure games Another Code: Two Memories (known as Trace Memory in North America) and Another Code: R – A Journey into Lost Memories. Beyond the expected visual updates, Another Code: Recollection also completely remixes the games’ puzzles, meaning even those familiar with the originals will find themselves on new ground.
The trademark dispute between Take-Two Interactive and Remedy Entertainment over the letter 'R' was already settled in 2023, according to one of the companies involved.
In The Last of Us Part II Remastered, you’ll experience a brutally emotional action game about how an endless and vicious cycle of violence can slowly chip away at your humanity. In Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, you’re going to play as a god-killer turnip who decides to join a gang and rob a bank.
Crime is a slippery slope. One minute you’re evading taxes and the next you’re joining a gang and pulling off the biggest heist of your little veggie life. That’s where we’re at now in Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, a sequel that delivers a heist both sprawling and suitably snack-sized.
The problem with 2021’s Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion was definitely not its name. In fact, I’d argue it has one of the greatest game titles ever, but its absurd sense of humor and cutesy style could only carry its repetitive three-hour campaign so far. Its 2024 sequel, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, may not have as memorable of a name, but it’s somehow even more ridiculous than its predecessor. See, in order to rob the bank, Turnip Boy gets a gun! A lot of guns in fact! And he’s ready to mow down so many cops and monsters on his way to riches, acceptance, and something far more mysterious. This follow-up may not be much longer, but some much-needed quality of life improvements and cleaned up combat make its more fast-paced action and roguelite structure are a clear improvement over the original.
Funko has announced an "exclusive worldwide license and distribution agreement" for its board game portfolio as a way to tackle the company's debt. This includes the studio responsible for making the original Disney Villainous.
