Patch 14.2 is quite a big one, as it includes two brand new weapons, plenty of changes, and even chickens! Full details can be found in the patch notes below, but here’s quick overview of the most important b
Undertale is in a similar position to Minecraft in that it’s become a cultural phenomenon. The 2D RPG takes the conventions of the genre and completely flips them on their heads, highlighting the biases players have developed over the years. For instance, players have been conditioned to fight enemies, but Undertale makes a point of showcasing the emotions and motivations of each enemy to encourage a more peaceful solution. It’s mechanics like these, alongside Undertale’s memorable cast and pixel art , that made it such a beloved game. Like Minecraft , it’s a title that redefined a genre and challenged the expectations what gaming experiences could of
Thanks to the heads up from Microsoft, there’s technically just enough time for Xbox Game Pass subscribers to download and beat the titles that are on the metaphorical chopping block. For those looking to get the most out of their investment, the publisher’s announcement that there’s actually two departure dates currently on the horizon has also provided a handy place for players to start their time trial-esque quest. While the majority of titles are set to leave on January 15, it’s worth keeping in mind that one game is departing a few days earlier than that on January
Shovel Knight brought the action-platformer into the modern day. It refreshed the genre by embracing the games that came before it, such as Mega Man and even Super Meat Boy, with its precise platforming and movement mechanics. What made it really stand out was its art style. The vibrant colors and iconic character designs would make a significant impact on the gaming community, and Shovel Knight started showing up in other games like Super Smash Bros. Ultim

Braid is the indie classic that arguably started the meteoric rise of the genre. Developer Number None managed to create a game that blended intricate puzzles and a complex story in a way that felt fresh. The story sees the player going to save a princess; however, the twist ending reveals that when rewinding the journey, the player had actually been the pursuer and the knight was the one saving the princess. This directly challenged the idea that players always control the hero in a new way. In a now archived post about Braid ‘s success, developer Johnathon Blow states that Braid was the second highest-selling Xbox Live Arcade game in 2008 and that success brought more attention to what indie games had to of
Minecraft seemingly took no time at all to establish itself as something special. The mechanics were accessible and nuanced, its simplistic art design quickly became iconic, and Minecraft’s truly open world let players both escape from the real world and create their own. It was a game that became attractive to all ages, especially to those who grew up with LEGO and had a fascination with build
This year saw the release of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, which played a huge role in revitalizing the horror genre as well as raising multiple Let’s Play YouTubers to stardom, such as Felix Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie. However, the brutally hard platformer Super Meat Boy not only revitalized its genre and gained some mainstream recognition through YouTube channels like KidsReact, but it also started to bring more mainstream attention to the speedrunning community and established extreme momentum and precision as staple mechanics which can still be seen in contemporary platformers like Celeste and Ghost Runn

Shadows make a huge difference in atmosphere and visual aesthetics, but like Post Processing, it also costs a lot of frames and can even make the game slower on low-end systems. There’s also the fact that it might introduce some form of stutter even on higher-end systems. Thus, many players opt to keep it at Low or Very
