But Zelda: Breath of the Wild ignited a phenomenon far more broad than the sight-driven discovery and curiosity-fueled exploration of one individual’s experience. Its lack of handholding and minimalistic approach to what was once the traditional open-world formula almost made it an asynchronous multiplayer game of sorts, where players cooperated with one another by sharing their discoveries online and through word of mouth. There was no guide book large enough or publication with enough time or resources to reveal every single secret housed within Breath of the Wild‘s Hyrule, so players took it upon themselves to help others find what they believed at the time was something no one else had ever seen. Nine years later, Crimson Desert takes a similar approach in its open-world design, effectively reviving what I like to call the “Breath of the Wild effect.”

TopMob interviewed HimeTarts and Wildflour, two popular creators of modifications (mods) for the game Stardew Valley, about their decade-long involvement in the game’s community. Together, known as “HxW,” they’ve become well-known for their high-quality furniture mods, which are particularly admired for their beautiful designs.

It’s hard to say exactly why some players are unhappy with recent updates to Minecraft. Is it because Mojang is focusing more on small improvements and letting players customize the game instead of making big changes? Or is it because players expect updates to be different than they used to? The truth is, it’s a combination of both. Recent updates, like Tiny Takeover, add small features to a game that already feels complete, and players are judging them based on how updates used to be delivered over 15 years ago.

The upcoming film Labyrinth is particularly exciting because it’s directed by Shōji Kawamori, a highly respected creator best known for designing mecha. This marks his first time directing an anime movie. Kawamori created the popular series Macross, adapted The Vision of Escaflowne, and even contributed to the original designs for Optimus Prime in Transformers. His unique style, which combines catchy music, science fiction, and giant robots, is already evident in the US trailer released by GKIDS Films.

The Epic Games Store has attracted more players by offering a wide variety of games. A big draw is the excitement around the free “Mystery Games” given away during their big sales – these hidden titles often turn out to be popular games, alongside many smaller indie favorites. Plus, the weekly free games on the Epic Games Store consistently generate a lot of buzz.

As a fan, I was excited to see that Epic was giving away Electrician Simulator and a cool Tachibana Pack for World of Warships last week, starting on March 19th – it was worth about $43 in total! But they just switched things up today, March 26th, and announced what they’re giving away next, so I’m keeping an eye out for that too.

For me, the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center was a true highlight. While a zombie-filled mansion could easily feel like a copy of the original Resident Evil, this location feels unique and genuinely terrifying. It’s quickly become one of my favorite environments in the entire Resident Evil series. The only problem with it being so good is that it sets a very high bar for future games to meet.
