Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream does not chase the soft, low-stakes comfort that defines many modern life sims. Instead, it leans into absurdity. It is loud, awkward, funny, and often completely unhinged. That choice works because Nintendo understands the appeal of this series: you are not building a peaceful retreat so much as managing a …

There was a time when Capcom felt comfortable taking expensive swings. Alongside defining hits like Resident Evil 4 and Devil May Cry, it also backed stranger, riskier work such as Killer7, P.

The full title tells you almost nothing. Super Mario Bros. Wonder: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park sounds like a bullet-pointed press release stapled into a subtitle.

The Hyper X Cloud III S Wireless ($179. 99) is the headset Hyper X should have shipped from the start.

Fallen Tear: Ascension blends Metroidvania exploration with JRPG mechanics and pulls it off more often than not. The genre mashup sounds like a recipe for either something special or a confused mess. Fortunately, it leans toward the former. But “promising” and “ready” are two very different things, and right now, Fallen Tear sits firmly in …
