Slime Rancher is a game about ranching slimes, and there’s a new, physical deluxe edition coming out for consoles soon. Slime Rancher is adorably appealing enough as it is, but this edition will come with a soundtrack, “Slimepedia” and more. The game, like many other indie titles was originally released on Steam (and Xbox One) in August of 2017, by developer Monomi Park. Since then it has received over a dozen free updates including holiday events and new skins and features....

OutRun is the first and just about the only racer from the early pseudo-3D era of the racing genre that I’ve played. But, that was enough for me to recognize that Slipstream is an unapologetic return to racers from that time. The retro-inspirations are strong with this one, right down to its pixel artstyle. But, due to it carrying the DNA of these classic titles, Slipstream has adopted some of their flaws....

Twitch streamer Sweet Anita has gained a sizable following on the streaming platform as well as YouTube. One well-known characteristic of Sweet Anita’s Twitch streams is her Tourette’s syndrome, where her tics cause her to say potentially offensive things. Recently, Sweet Anita said “kill the Jews,” during one of her tics, and that caused a controversy where some people were calling for Twitch to ban the streamer. On social media, various people have called for Twitch to ban Sweet Anita because of her Tourette’s syndrome tics, including the comment about Jews as well as for using the N word....

Earlier today on Twitter, the Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter account released the second and final part of the Sonic Frontiers Prologue: Convergence comic in the leadup to the release of the new game featuring the blue blur. This brief comic tells the story of the events that lead up to the beginning of Sonic Frontiers. You can find the final four pages of the Sonic Frontiers Prologue: Convergence comic in the tweet down below....

Nintendo has added three more classic Mega Drive games for subscribers to its Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service. From today, players can get their hands on Sonic Spinball, Shining Force II and Space Harrier II. The first of these, Sonic Spinball, is of course the pinball-themed spinoff starring everybody’s favourite Blue Blur. Somewhat loosely based on Sonic 2‘s Casino Night Zone, you’re collecting chaos emeralds in a new way in this 1993 offering....

Sega has announced that it will be holding a special virtual event entitled Sonic Central later this week, ahead of Sonic the Hedgheog’s 30th anniversary next month. The broadcast will take place on the official Sonic the Hedgehog YouTube and Twitch accounts on Thursday, May 27 at 5pm UK time, and we’re promised a “first look at some of our upcoming projects, partnerships and events” that are being undertaken to mark three decades since Sonic sped into our lives....

When watching Sonic the Hedgehog, it is easy to feel like you’ve time warped back to a different era—but not the 1990s. At least not fully. While the film thrives on a wave of nostalgia that any ‘90s kid with shadows of Sega Genesis glory in their memory banks can recognize, in truth the movie more closely resembles a family film from the 2000s. For here is a perfectly adequate effort that refuses to rock the boat or even leave the bay....

Sega’s biggest franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog, has topped 1.5 billion sales. As spotted by our sister site, GamesIndustry.biz, the Japanese megacorp confirmed in its most recent financial report that that figure includes all premium sales and free-to-play downloads since the franchise was born in 1991. Interestingly, Sega Sammy Holdings also revealed sales of its other key franchises, too. In 22 years, Total War has amassed an impressive 40.4 million units sold, Football Manager and Chain Chronicles have each sold 25 million copies, whilst the fan-favourite Persona series has sold 15....

Since one Soul Hackers 2 trailer a day appears not to be enough, Atlus has doubled down with a second video today, and it’s a meaty one. The video, which actually has English subtitles despite coming from the Japanese arm of the company, starts with an introduction by Ringo, continues with an explanation of the game mechanic, and then ends by talking about Arrow, one of the game’s heroes. You can check it out below....

Soul War is a game or experience that has garnered over 5.7+ million visits on Roblox. Despite the game being private, it has a pretty impressive player base. This game is inspired by the popular anime, Bleach Soul Wars. While you are a Human when you start, you can take different paths as you go on. These paths include Hollow, Arrancar, Trainee, Soul Reaper, Vizard, and Quincy. But several players are looking to get the Trello board and Discord server links to get every update for this game....

Yuji Horii, creator of the critically acclaimed RPG Chrono Trigger and the Dragon Quest series, was interviewed by IGN regarding the release of the most recent DQ title, Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies and shared his thoughts on turn-based versus real-time RPG combat. The Dragon Quest series has always been a turn-based affair, allowing gamers to plan out each round of action for maximum effectiveness of their characters and I can’t really see any problems with it....

Rinoa will no longer have to settle for a guy whose face is a pixelated mess, as a new screenshot of Final Fantasy VIII Remastered has shown off the new character models by referencing a meme related to the original game. Final Fantasy VIII attempted to use realistically proportioned character models in both battle scenes and on the field map. The fact that the game was released on the original PlayStation meant that the quality of the models wasn’t always great, though they were considered to be stellar at the time....

The Star Citizen 3.0 update has been in testing for a number of weeks with the Evocati testing group and there has been no indication when it would go out the PTU. A rough window has been revealed by CIG in the latest Chairman’s Club News newsletter where they state that PTU testing is likely to begin before 20 December. When the PTU finally goes live we’ll have a much better idea of 3....

The latest update for the Steam Deck has added a lock screen, window switching, and various other features. While these aren’t massive additions to Valve’s handheld device, they should improve the user experience. Most of these features allow the Steam Deck to behave much more like a standard mobile device. The lock screen is the biggest hint towards that, alongside various other inclusions. Don’t expect anything too fancy from the Steam Deck’s new lock screen, as it seems to just be a simple six-digit pin combination that you can input via the touchscreen or through the buttons themselves....

Steam has reached its 1 billionth lifetime user. It’s kinda hard to comprehend 1 billion. Like, we know there are 7.7 billion people alive on Earth right now, and even considering a fraction of those people all sitting down on a computer to play video games is just a little too hard to parse. But it’s happened. According to Steam ID Finder (by way of PCGamesN), Steam has just acquired its ultimate achievement: 1 billion total users....

To suggest that Steam has been anything less than a massive success, for not only Valve but digital gaming as a whole, would be a complete understatement. Steam has offered up quality titles that everyone knows and loves, and they occasionally appear for prices that are both affordable and ridiculously amazing. The only downside to Steam is that it’s essentially limited to the PC and Mac, and therefore, relatively small computer screens....

Popularized by titles like Derek Yu’s Spelunky and Edmund McMillen’s The Binding of Isaac, the rouge-lite genre adapted the randomized events and endless possibilities of older, more hardcore roguelike titles — so-called due to their similarities to the seminal 1980 classic Rouge — and combined them with modernized visuals and a more approachable nature. Ink Stains Games, the developers behind the Hotline Miami-esque 12 Is Better Than 6, hope to deliver that same just-one-more-run experience without sacrificing some of the more in-depth components seen in the original rogue-lites....
