There is a point with kittens where they can basically break fundamental laws of physics. Where they can reach such speed and hectic enthusiasm that they can essentially run up a person, up the legs, the torso, navigate the fleshy intricacies of the face. They’re not so much defying gravity as refusing to engage with it. Kittens have zip.Aztech Forgotten Gods has a bit of zip to it as well – and it has the kitten leg-dash move down perfectly. At times it has far too much zip, even. I’ve been playing the early stages of Aztech on Switch over…

The game director for CD Projekt’s just-announced new The Witcher project has spoken out on the issue of crunch.

CD Projekt RED has officially confirmed the existence of a new title based on The Witcher. In an announcement that reveals no concrete information on the game itself, the focus is very much on technology. The firm’s in-house REDengine is being mothballed in favour of Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 5. CDPR talks of a ‘multi-year strategic partnership… [covering] not only licensing, but technical development of Unreal Engine 5, as well as potential future versions of Unreal Engine where relevant’. In essence, CDPR has chosen to throw in its lot with Epic Games, even though core Unreal Engine 5 technologies are…

It has always been clear that Naughty Dog put a lot of time and effort into The Last of Us Part 2. Everything from subtle character animations to the larger post-apocalyptic world has been meticulously thought through. However, YouTuber Speclizer has compiled a new video showing off even more of the details that have been tucked away into the game, which many may have missed.

For Nintendo, the transition from flat-plane 2D gaming to a full 3D experience kicked off in earnest with Super Mario 64 – with most key franchises following suit in short order. Except one. The Kirby series remained on a side-scrolling path across the generations and while I adore side-scrolling games, I couldn’t help but wonder how this series might play in full 3D. Now, we finally have some answers. Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the first fully 3D movement-based series entry and I love it. Forgotten Land has players taking control of Kirby across a wide range of stages…

At times, playing Tina Tina’s Wonderlands can feel a little like working through a hangover. This is a game with UI that reads like brain fog, clouding out mechanics with half-tooltips and miniature smallprint and systems that are occasionally hinted at but rarely explained.

Ever since then Kirby has presented a refreshingly casual brand of adventure, serving breezy platformers where there’s never even the threat of falling off a ledge; you can just puff yourself up with air and float away.Such effortlessness might be boring, were it not…
