Over the holidays we’re republishing some choice features from the last 12 months. A mix of talking points, interviews, opinion pieces and more from NL staff and contributors, you’ll find our usual blend of thoughtfulness, expertise, frivolity, retro nostalgia, and — of course — enthusiasm for all things Nintendo. Happy holidays! Image: Nintendo / Monolith

PlayStation Studios certainly live up to their reputation when it comes to console exclusives. Though its first-party line-up tends to earn unanimous praise, Sony doesn’t shy away from striking third-party exclusivity deals for risky endeavors, which pay off more often than not. When it comes to PS5, choices are plenty. From indies to AAs to
Don’t listen to the naysayers, 2022 has been a cracking year for gamers. Whether it’s thanks to the blockbusting triple-A titles that have taken home the billions, the double-A wannabes below that or the weekly releases from the indie and micro devs out there, there have been a ton of game releases to enjoy. But
Hello! VidBud Liam here. You may recognise me from those videos that autoplay on every page. Or not. It depends on how quickly you scroll past, I suppose. I joined team Arpus all the way back in February, and to say the last 11 months have been a whirlwind is a bit of an understatement.
The year 2022 is almost over, but it feels like just yesterday that we were hyping our most-anticipated games, most of which are now in the rearview mirror. While 2023 is sure to deliver even more incredible experiences, we can’t move on before looking back at what defined this last year in gaming. From in-game

Image: Emile Holba While there are often discussions around the merits of gaming as an artform, we perhaps talk less about examples of games helping to inspire other contemporary art. Yet as years pass it’s an inevitability, as the role of games in the lives of millions has transformed since the mid- to late-’80s. We’re
In today’s installment of New Gameplay Today, hosts Wesley LeBlanc and Marcus Stewart discuss Clive ‘N’ Wrench, an upcoming 3D platformer inspired by games like Banjo-Kazooie, Spyro the Dragon, and more. You can watch roughly 15 minutes of gameplay alongside their discussion, including exploration in one of the game’s multiple themed worlds and a fight
Whilst it is customary for any games website worth its salt to run down its nominations for Game of the Year every December, we also like to have a little bit of fun, reminiscing on the worst games to offend our eyes from the last twelve months. So we’ve picked out ten of the worst
Guides work is a very strange beast, and one that we don’t talk about as often as we maybe should. By its nature, we here in guidestown can feel a bit isolated from the rest of RPS. Our guides aren’t very visible to our regular readers. No one hops onto a website like this and
Ubisoft‘s unfortunately canned 3D platformer Rayman 4 has surfaced along with the source code and the game’s editor. Rayman’s adventure was abandoned when the Wii came out and the team decided to move forward with the Rabbids franchise which became a success for the studio and Rayman was ultimately pushed aside for the pesky creatures.

We’ve played plenty of games that are in love with hulking great kaiju. Rampage, Dawn of the Monsters and War of the Monsters spring immediately to mind. But Godzilla, Kong, Ultraman and the rest – at least to our memory – have never been airlifted into a turn-based strategy game. Which is a wonder, because
A little known fact is that all of the RPS staff are complex clockwork automata, designed and built by a little gnome with the kind of inch-thick glasses that make your eyes look comically large. We’re each powered by a spell that lasts but 12 months, so every Christmas we fall over like sad marionettes.
Popular Japanese gaming magazine and website Famitsu has gathered people from the video games industry, key celebrities and others, to form a judging panel to vote for their favourite video games of 2022. This is something the team at Famitsu does every year as a special Christmas feature and it is always worth glancing at
For nearly two decades, the Company of Heroes series has been defining what it means to be an action-packed real-time strategy game, covering multiple fronts of World War II and shining a light on the stories of the real people who lived and died throughout each conflict. Xbox has always been a great platform that
Soapbox features enable our individual writers and contributors to voice their opinions on hot topics and random stuff they’ve been chewing over. Today, Kate gets green fingers… Come here. Sit down. Shut up. Why haven’t you played Strange Horticulture yet? No, that was rhetorical. And also, a trap. I said shut up, didn’t I? You
If you put half of the Sega Mega Drive back catalogue into a blender, you’d get Roar of Revenge. There’s some Golden Axe, Altered Beast, Castlevania: Bloodlines, Onslaught, Ghouls’N Ghosts and even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in there, all chopped up to make a retro smoothie. SEEP and Ratalaika Games have really leaned into the

Sea of Stars, which is being brought to us by the talented developers behind The Messenger, will now be coming next summer on the Nintendo Switch eShop.

At long last, after eight years in the [email protected] program, Hyper Gunsport is finally available! This is Future Millennium Sporting Action! So What’s Hyper Gunsport? In a nutshell, it’s cyberpunk volleyball with guns. Teams of two (or one!) must shoot a ball into the opposing team’s goal. The keeper, in the back, can’t move, but

Dasher the reindeer has found a side gig in 20 Minutes Till Dawn, a neat survive ’em up that’s like Vampire Survivors but with guns you have to aim. She’s been added as a human woman in a festive coat who intermittently turns into an invulnerable deer that can charge about the screen, plunging into
Sports Story is available now, Nintendo and developer SideBar Games announced during a special Inside the House of Indies holiday video.

The Gran Turismo series has long been a favorite of sim-racing enthusiasts, and today marks a special milestone for the franchise. Gran Turismo: The Real Driving Simulator was released on PlayStation in Japan on December 23, 1997, meaning that the series has officially crossed the quarter-century mark. To celebrate 25 years of Gran Turismo, PlayStation released
You know the story by now: princess gets kidnapped and needs saving. You are the only knight in the land worthy enough and must do so by the order of their father. However, these princes and princesses are a little different. Once saved, they can help you to recover the others with their own unique
There is no denying that Elden Ring is the best game of 2022. That’s my pick, by the way. I actually think anybody who picks anything else needs to give their head a wobble (though I respect their opinion, of course, and suggest aspirin for the bumped head). Alex on why Elden Ring is a
