Salt and Sacrifice is indie developer Ska Studios' recent sequel to its iconic 2D soulslike Salt and Sanctuary.

The program, called SIDE, does two things: check if a primary source is accurate and suggest new ones. However, the AI ...

Still, even without a seasonally optimal release, Saturnalia remains a spookily good time,...

When you Switch upon a star. On 16th October 2023, Disney celebrated its 100-year anniversary, and in the handful of decades since video games have existed in the home, there have been hundreds of adaptations of animated Disney classics or totally original tales to come to consoles.

In a year that's seen significant moves toward unionisation across the games industry, Nintendo of America boss Doug Bowser has argued the reason the company doesn't have unions is because its workers have a "high degree of job satisfaction and engagement". Bowser shared his thoughts in an interview with Inverse, saying, "You only have to look at our retention numbers, which are very, very high within the industry, and our obviously low turnover rate as a result. Our focus has always been on cre...

A wonder or a blunder? Super Mario Bros. Wonder is out now for the Nintendo Switch and, as per the norm for major releases, Digital Foundry has provided a deep analysis of the new title. When we say 'deep', we mean it. This video not only dives into the obvious stuff like performance and resolution (1080p docked and 720p handheld at a near-locked 60fps, by the way) but also looks at how Wonder compares to previous 2D entries in the franchise.
