AuthorJuly 21, 20250

We’ve not had the chance to play every Switch 2 game in-depth owing to the sheer volume of them and regrettably, one of the titles we’ve not been able to look at in depth is Io Interactive’s classic Hitman: World of Assassination.

Ubisoft reckons microtransactions help make games “more fun”, but still wants to ensure they “respect the player experience”

AuthorJuly 21, 20250

Everybody loves a microtransaction! Or at least, that appears to be the line publishers like rolling out whenever justification of their existence is required. Following EA’s now legendary reimagining of loot boxes as “surprise mechanics” (“We do think [these are] quite ethical and quite fun”, it said at the time), Ubisoft now reckons microtransactions […]

AuthorJuly 21, 20250

Donkey Kong Bananza released last week, and has proven a popular addition to the Switch 2’s library.

Why Soulframe won’t cannibalise players from Warframe’s existing audience

AuthorJuly 21, 20250

Warframe has been a resounding success for Digital Extremes, continuing to grow in terms of both content and player numbers 12 years after launch. This does not, however, guarantee success for its next venture, Soulframe – a fact of which the company is all too aware. Warframe was first released in 2013, when live-service games […]
