I was really happy with how well the first Super Mario movie did in theaters, and honestly, the reviews were a lot better than the live-action one! But a lot of us fans still felt like it could have been even *better*. So, with the announcement of *The Super Mario Galaxy Movie*, I’m really hoping Illumination takes what they learned and makes the sequel even more amazing!
It’s no surprise that *Hollow Knight: Silksong* is proving incredibly popular. Since its release in early September, over 5 million people have started playing on all platforms, with half a million joining on Steam within just a few hours. The game’s player base is still growing, and developers plan to release updates and improvements to make the experience even better for both new and returning players.
When questioned about whether *Baby Steps* was meant to be a parody of “walking simulator” games, Bennett Foddy explained that he saw it more as a playful twist on large, open-world games like *Assassin’s Creed* – which also involve a lot of exploration on foot. *Baby Steps* does have a main story, where the character Nate explores a strange new world, but it’s very free-form. The game doesn’t use quest markers or to-do lists, allowing players to explore at their own speed and choose their own paths.
The creators of the challenging game *Getting Over It* are back with a new physics-based game called *Baby Steps*. The game centers around Nate, a lazy and unsuccessful young man who finds himself in a peaceful mountain setting and must learn to turn his life around.

According to a Reuters report (yes, the same folks who make financial news sound like a Shakespearean tragedy), France’s financial watchdog, the AMF, is having a bit of a meltdown. They’re worried that crypto firms are flocking to EU countries with licensing standards so lax, they make a French workweek look rigorous. 🧀🤦♂️
Game Rant recently spoke with Simon Arseneault, content director for *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*’ DLC, *Claws of Awaji*, after a preview event. Arseneault explained that the side-scrolling section of the DLC started as an experiment, originally envisioned as a shadow play. Even in its early stages, it was inspired by the *Assassin’s Creed Chronicles* side-scrolling games. While not as complex as those titles, *Claws of Awaji*’s side-scroller effectively delivers important story details and introduces the setting and characters players will encounter on Awaji Island, all without relying on a traditional cinematic cutscene.
Playing games together on the same couch used to be a huge part of the console experience, and now multiplayer has expanded with online play. Over the last ten years, thanks to faster internet, more powerful consoles, and creative new game designs, multiplayer has become even more popular.
