Games

Games like immersive sims and stealth games frequently design their gameplay with combat tools, but they also provide inventive methods for avoiding conflict. A dash of creativity, some non-violent equipment, and blending into the shadows usually does the trick.

In a recent chat with Kosokoso, a Japanese podcast, I had the pleasure of listening to three editors of Dragon Ball – Kazuhiko Torishima, Yu Kondo, and Fuyuto Takeda – as they reminisced about their experiences working on this iconic series and shared their perspectives on its future. The key takeaways from this engaging conversation were translated for us by Enomis, or @Venixys.

Microsoft initially introduced its game-creating model, Muse, showcasing how AI could resurrect classic games, and now they’ve taken that idea for a spin. Their in-browser demo recreates the 1997 First-Person Shooter (FPS) hit, Quake 2, entirely by means of artificial intelligence. Microsoft might have been thrilled with this achievement, but it seems the fans didn’t share the same enthusiasm about the idea.

The upcoming game Mario Kart World is expected to blaze new trails by being the inaugural title for the Switch 2. Notably, this version of the game will significantly increase the number of racers from previous installments, with up to 24 players able to compete simultaneously. Furthermore, Mario Kart World is set to introduce an innovative change in how races unfold on the Switch 2. Players will now have the freedom to explore the game’s world, take photos, and travel between courses during a Grand Prix. A popular feature from past games looks poised for a return.

Back in December 2020, the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 was more of a fiasco than a triumph, but CD Projekt RED has been relentless in their efforts to meet the expectations set prior to release. Today, Night City within Cyberpunk 2077 is practically unrelated to the game that initially debuted, offering an exhilarating gaming experience instead. The recent confirmation during the April 2 Nintendo Direct that a Switch 2 port of Cyberpunk 2077 is in the works is exciting news indeed, as it promises to be a fantastic demonstration of the capabilities of Nintendo’s upcoming hardware platform.

2025 presents a fantastic opportunity for individuals who haven’t yet played Final Fantasy X to dive into it for the first time. Even those familiar with the world of Spira will find plenty of reasons to revisit, including its complex battle system, rich character development, and wide accessibility on contemporary platforms.

Cult of the Lamb is a hit among fans of roguelike games, distinguishing itself through a distinctive storyline about an anthropomorphic animal cult who offer sacrifices to an ancient deity in exchange for enigmatic power. In this game, players engage in battles against various enemies across randomly generated rooms, utilizing diverse weaponry. The resources collected from these battles can be utilized to construct new structures on the player’s homestead or enhance existing ones.

In the realm of Solo Leveling, it’s clear that strength holds the key to survival. Many aspiring hunters, including Jin-Woo himself who was once labeled as humanity’s weakest, yearn for power. After all, in a world teeming with fearsome magical beasts and cunning beings, it’s the strong who have the upper hand. Thankfully, there’s a key character in this series whose abilities are nothing short of miraculous. I often find myself marveling at her prowess.

In contrast to other forms of entertainment, video games are unique as they operate based on figures and numerical data. This extends to aspects like a character’s emotional or psychological state, which can be transformed into quantifiable game mechanics.
