Super Mario Maker 2 is worth it for its campaign alone

By Geoffrey Tim

2

When Nintendo released Super Mario Maker on the Wii U in 2015, they handed the keys to the Mushroom kingdom to creators, letting them create Super Mario levels to their heart’s content. People are still using Super Mario Maker to create incredible, often genius levels with the software, years later. More often than not, those levels eschew the traditional mechanics you’d expect from a 2D Mario game, using the framework to deliver interesting and unique experiences. With Super Mario Maker 2 on the horizon, Switch owners can be guaranteed that they’ll not only be able to make their own courses, but they’ll have a near infinite supply of easily sorted levels from creators around the world.

E3 2019 Hands-On Preview: Watch Dogs Legion feels great to play, but its characters don’t feel distinct enough

It's difficult not to feel excited by Watch Dogs Legion's ambition. Removing a central protagonist from the game, Legion sets you loose on the streets of London and lets you build your own revolution of Dedsec agents and puts you in control of any one you want. Every character you see walking the streets, patrolling restricted areas and even shooting at you can be recruited with varying degrees of difficulty. Legion promises an experience that will give each of these characters a story to tell, but just how high does the ceiling of this simulation go?

E3 2019 Interview: CD Projekt Red was having internal arguments about non-lethal playthroughs in Cyberpunk 2077, and feedback helped make the change

Cyberpunk 2077 was easily one of the biggest titles on show at E3 again this year, with a whole new 45-minute behind closed doors demo showing off some of the improvements CD Projekt Red have made in the past year. Along with the reveal of Keanu Reeves as a central character (playing Johnny Silverhand) and an April 2020 release date, the biggest change introduced to the RPG is the ability to play the entire story without killing anyone.

Ghost Recon: Breakpoint – Here’s a closer look at tank battles, survival and weapons

Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is shaping up nicely so far. Jon Berenthal looks like a terrific antagonist, the gameplay has a harder edge to it and the Auroa Islands peninsula looks massively more interesting than the lush jungles of Bolivia. See for yourself in footage that we've brought back from E3.

E3 2019 Eyes-On Preview: Outer Worlds gives you intriguing and hilarious ways to complete quests

There's no disputing it – The Outer Worlds looks like a Fallout game in all but name. Which shouldn't come as a surprise, given that Obsidian Games is behind it. As the creators of arguably the best Fallout game out there (even with New Vegas' misgivings) it's still somewhat surprising how much of that DNA is retained in Outer Wilds. That isn't to say this looks like a decade old RPG either. Outer Wilds instead looks to build on ideas that haven't worked out as well in past Obsidian ventures, giving you even more ways to approach its more open-ended quests.

Wolfenstein and the Nazi-killing escapades of B.J Blazkowicz have never been better thanks to MachineGames. Both The New Order and The New Colossus have been tight shooter romps with a delicate mix of old and new; Blending stealth gameplay with punchy first-person shooting, wrapped up by strong writing and captivating characters. But Youngblood isn’t about the past. Instead, it’s forging …

The premise is usually simple enough to follow: A regular Joe from our world, gets stuck in a fantasy world that usually has several video game mechanics attached to it. You’d think that after a few years of studios pumping out shows from this well, that the genre would have run dry by now. You’d be wrong though, because Isekai anime has proven itself to be surprisingly versatile and able to take that idea in wild new directions. Want to hop in and give it a watch? Well here’s a list of ten great Isekai anime to binge on.

PDP LVL50 wireless Xbox headset review – Decent value, with no strings attached

By Geoffrey Tim

I recently reviewed PDP’s sorta flagship LVL 50 wired headset for the Xbox One. It’s a decent, if somewhat underwhelming headset that focuses on just the basics. It sounds good enough, but there are other sets in the same sort of price range that just make it less of a decent value proposition than it should be. The headset does, …
