I enjoy a good dungeon crawler and a good Dungeons & Dragons campaign, so it’s bizarre that I never heard about Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance back in the heyday of the PS2. It’s an old-school dungeon crawler that has a bit of a cult following and now it’s being remastered for modern consoles.

A stark contract to Act 3, Act 4 of Battletoads is a very short one, consisting of just one level featuring collectibles and two levels total. The six collectibles are all found on Stage 1 and will be fairly hard to miss, though some detours will need to be made in order to reach them. The optional objective for Stage 1 is to complete the stage in under five minutes, which gives you enough leeway for one, maybe two deaths, depending on how closely you die to the checkpoint....

Breathedge, the space survival sim from RedRuins Softworks, had its full PC launch last week.

It’s hard to argue with the definition of Breathedge as Subnautica in space. After all, both games feature very similar gameplay loops and survival mechanics....
Super Mario Bros, possibly the most important video game in history, has a very strong speedrunning presence. The large community of players and the length of the game’s lifespan have led to an unbelievably optimized speedrun that is filled with nonstop action and confusing, game-breaking tricks.
