Moving Out
While it’s true you can make a video game out of pretty
much any experience, we were under the – correct,
we assumed – assumption that making moving house
fun is something even the world of interactive digital
entertainment products couldn’t handle. Moving Out
begs to differ, bringing the ethos of controlled chaos
from Overcooked into the world of moving boxes from
one place to another. However this one turns out, there’s
guaranteed to be less backache.Death Stranding
The hype train is picking up pace as we
approach the release of Kojima Productions’ first
independent title, and it’s getting odder as we
go along. As well as an ultra-ladder, extendible
seemingly forever, Death Stranding has also
introduced us to a man who lives in 21-minute
bursts, and so has to plan his entire life around
this unending loop. Whether it ends up great or
awful, there’s no doubt in our minds – the game
will be spectacular.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- Complete Edition
It’s one of those things where you think ‘They did Skyrim
on Switch, why not The Witcher 3?’ – then, naturally,
CD Projekt Red hears your mindvoice and announces
that yes indeed we’re getting portable Geralt of Rivia.
Naturally, things are down-specced somewhat to fit into
Nintendo’s rather conservative hardware, so this isn’t the
best The Witcher 3 has ever looked, but as long as it runs
smoothly we’re all over it. The full game and all add-ons
are included in the Nintendo version, as well as that
scene with the unicorn – another step towards Nintendo
completely abandoning its family-friendly image.
This isn’t a case of the game featuring all-new newness
as it arrives on the format, with no announcements of
any significant additional content or the like, so usually, it
would be the sort of thing we’d smile and nod at before
moving on. But it feels more significant than that; it’s
another vote of confidence from the world of game
makers, in a format still sometimes written off for its
relative lack of power. And long may it continue.Early AccessAttract Mode
