Ben Brosofsky — Sun, 24 Dec 2023 19:00:16 GMT

Star Wars Outlaws promises a new single-player adventure in a galaxy far, far away, but that doesn't offer too much reassurance that it will be free of distracting monetization systems. Single-player games from publisher Ubisoft have consistently included microtransactions for some years, from minor cosmetic alterations to boosts that can affect the rate of gameplay progression. Hopefully, Star Wars Outlaws will stick to the least objectionable options, but it might be best to prepare for the worst and be surprised if things turn out better.

Since the beginning of video games, racing games like Mario Kart and Forza Motorsport have fueled players' need for that special adrenaline rush that comes when flying around corners at high speeds. Without the fear of actual crashes, being able to race cars in video games can be a fantastic way to bond with friends through online and local multiplayer, and they can also give single-player experiences that help take one out of their real-life problems as they enjoy beating the AI drivers, or their previously set times. As technology improves, so does the realism that many of these games take advantage of, although the more stylized titles remain appreciated as well.

Adam Hayward — Sun, 24 Dec 2023 14:00:20 GMT

Developed by FromSoftware, Elden Ring is a critically-acclaimed title that is effectively a successor to the Dark Souls series, inheriting many of its signature features, including the developer's penchant for difficult boss fights. Created in collaboration with George R.R. Martin, a high fantasy author most famous for A Song of Ice and Fire, Elden Ring is known for its deep RPG systems, fascinating open world, nebulous story, and – perhaps most of all – its difficulty. As with many of FromSoftware's most recent offerings, there are plenty of hard boss fights to be found.

10 Things Baldur's Gate 3 Should've Borrowed From D&D (But Didn't)

Lee D'Amato — Sun, 24 Dec 2023 12:00:18 GMT

Baldur's Gate 3 may be an adaptation of Dungeons & Dragons, but that doesn't always mean it's a perfect, one-to-one conversion. BG3's rules for resolving dialogue and combat scenarios are drawn directly from the Fifth Edition of DnD rules, which was first released in 2014. This is the first mainline game in the Baldur's Gate series to be based on the Fifth Edition; the first and second both draw from the Second Edition. However, it draws more expansively from the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, which has been employed in DnD modules and spin-offs since its very first edition.

There are also plenty of great roleplaying games with artstyles that translate nicely to the Switch, maintaining visual fidelity and performance even on limited hardware capabilities.
