UltraGoodness gave us an acute sense of deja vu. We knew we had played something like it before, but hadn’t considered that we had actually reviewed its successor two years ago. Confusingly, UltraGoodness has been released two years after UltraGoodness 2, presumably because Rasul Mono and Ratalaika Games felt like we needed some more UltraGoodness
Project 007 is the newest James Bond game from the company that bought us Hitman, IO Interactive. The project is currently in the early stages of development, so details are scarce, even down to the title of the game, but we’ve still scraped together a few bits and pieces. So far, we’ve only had a
Image: Alan Lopez / Nintendo Life Have you ever seen an original Contra up close? What about an original Mario Kart? For Stephan Reese, organizer and showrunner for the non-profit Interactive Art Collection (and a Senior Producer at video game developer Bungie when he’s not busy doing that), it’s his life’s mission that you might
The new year is now upon us and the first week of 2024 brings a handful of new PS5 and PS4 games being released during the week beginning January 1. Like last week, the first games to arrive during 2024 are all indie titles with no new PSVR 2 games, and you can find the
Fallout: London has been in the works for five years now, culminating in a seriously impressive mod for Fallout 4 that’s essentially a brand new game set in a radiated England rather than North America. After missing its planned release window in 2023, it now has a full release date – and it’s only a
In a recent interview in Japanese gaming magazine Weekly Famitsu, Super Mario Bros. Wonder director, Shiro Mouri, revealed a little more about the character choices. When it came to the loveable Yoshi they were originally going to include the egg throwing mechanic, which Yoshi has had in previous adventures. However, they felt that this wasn’t

KEMCO are back with another retro styled JRPG, and all is well with the world again. After the last game of theirs, METRO QUESTER, decided to deviate from the usual by not being a JRPG, it is somewhat refreshing to see them going back to their wheelhouse. I have to be honest, I am running
Dune Awakening is an upcoming survival MMO from the creators of Conan: Exiles. It aims to adapt the books and films, giving players the challenge of surviving on Arrakis, the most dangerous planet in the Universe. In Dune Awakening, you’ll awaken as The Sleeper, before you are cast out into the desert with little more
Image: Kit Ellis I have an idea for a video game. Actually, I’ve been making it for about six months now. My video game is a rhythm-based game. It’s also an American football game. To play it, you choose between plays, just like any sports game … but your play only succeeds if you push
It’s common to hear 2023 referred to as one of the best years we’ve had in a while when it comes to the quality of video games consistently releasing throughout the year. But I’d like to argue that it’s also the year many B games established themselves as more than just the stuff you skip
2023 was certainly a tumultuous year for the video game industry, for good and for bad. For consumers, it was great! For the industry itself, certainly less so. With record-breaking layoffs across the gaming and tech sectors, strike authorization for video game voice actors approved for American unions, and various companies being hacked: the gaming
Until we worked in the games industry, many of us almost never played a video game in the year it was released: they’re expensive, there’s a lot of them, and they can be very time-consuming, so there are plenty of good reasons to leave it a while — even, potentially, a few years — before
The 2023 holiday season may be coming to an end very soon, and the new year arrives in just a couple of days, but that hasn’t stopped the Switch 2 rumor mill from churning at a steady pace. In fact, a new Switch 2 rumor has recently appeared online that may be very interesting to
Farming sims and ‘cozy’ games in general are increasing in popularity – probably due to the fact that they are an escape, a way to take you out of the real world for a while which, let’s face it, is appealing now more than ever. So, we picked up a controller and entered the world
The Hollow Knight Silksong release date is right at the top of many gamers’ minds currently, given that the game recently missed its early 2023 release window, and has been announced for quite some time. So far, Team Cherry has revealed a fair bit of gameplay, a couple of trailers, and provided an update on
Over the holiday season, we’re republishing select articles from Nintendo Life writers and contributors as part of our Best of 2023 series. Enjoy!

Escape From Tarkov‘s major new 0.14.0.0 update is live now. It brings with it all of the many features announced last month, including a new map, Ground Zero, designed specifically for newcomers, as well as a vaulting system, new armor and hitbox modelling, and much more.
