The Elder Scrolls Online: Thieves Guild’s trailer is the least sneaky thing possible

VR darling Beat Saber is leaving early access this week

1.0, baby Beat Saber, one of the most popular VR games to date (a sentiment I’ve heard from devs and players alike), is finally exiting early access and will enter 1.0 status. What does that mean? Well it gains a level editor (huge), new visual options, an overhauled scoring system that promises more precision, and “one saber” levels. To clarify the latter bit: basically you have two remotes that simulate two lightsabers to smack beat squares with during songs, and the one saber variant allows you to mix things up a bit....

What game did too many people overlook in 2020?

There’s a lot of good answers, so let’s find them It feels super strange to pick a Capcom title as one of my favorite overlooked games of 2020 when there are far more obscure gems to suggest, but I’m doing it. I’m going withShinsekaianyway. Shinsekai: Into the Depthsoriginally launched in 2019 as an Apple Arcade exclusive before coming to Nintendo Switch in March 2020.
