Evergate surprised me. It looked at first to be slightly derivative of Ori and the Blind Forest, and I became interested in it because of those similarities, not in spite of them. In actuality, its common traits with Ori are superficial, and its strong focus on the puzzle part of the puzzle-platformer genre makes for a rich and wholly distinct experience.You play as Ki, a small wisp occupying the afterlife and awaiting reincarnation by journeying through the Evergate. When a crisis threatens to undo the entire afterlife itself, Ki assists by going through the Evergate to relive key memories throughout time and solve the mystery behind the looming disaster. If that concept sounds heady, it is. The game doesn't give you much exposition to start, so you spend the first few hours piecing together the mythology at play. Characters freely throw out terms without explanation, and it's on you to catch up.The main gameplay hook bears a strong resemblance to one of the main platforming mechanics in the Ori games. In those, the "Bash" move lets you spring off objects in mid-air, shooting in a particular direction. Evergate uses the same basic concept, but plumbs the depths of it as a deep well of puzzle mechanics. The entire game is built around a series of nodes with different effects, as long as you have a clear line of sight to an ethereal white object or grounding. As you progress further, finding these sightlines and discovering the order of nodes to hit becomes increasingly complex--and often acrobatic, as you use a time-slowing mechanic to line up your shot in mid-air.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

While the Bill & Ted franchise, which recently saw the release of the third movie Face the Music, is a classic feel-good series, it almost had a very different story. And it involved a homeless man, a van, and a dog.In Bill & Ted's Most Excellent Movie Book by Laura J. Shapiro, it's revealed that the first script for Excellent Adventure was quite a bit different. "Originally, the phone booth was a van, driven by Rufus, a 27-year-old homeless sophomore who lived in his van, accompanied, by his dog, Dog-Rufus," Shapiro writes.The idea of Rufus being a man in his late-20s who couldn't get past the tenth grade living in a van with a dog named after him sure does shake things up. However, it takes that whimsical element away of Rufus being this wise being from the future.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

PowerA is one of the most well-known and popular brands creating third-party Switch accessories today, and its line of "enhanced" Switch controllers is one of our favorites for gamers on a budget. The PowerA Switch controller line is particularly notable for offering a wide range of colorful, eye-catching designs while mimicking the look and feel of the first-party Pro Controller. A new batch of designs are up for pre-order now at Amazon and will release at the end of this month.The best new design of the bunch, in my opinion, is a pastel blue and green controller that features the faces of some of Animal Crossing's most iconic villagers, like K.K. Slider, Tom Nook, and Isabelle. The tropical color scheme matches all the other merch that's been released around Animal Crossing: New Horizons, making it a great addition to any Animal Crossing fan's collection.The new collection also brings two new Pikachu designs: one featuring an adorable pixelated Pikachu as a throwback to the old games, and a more modern-looking design with jagged lightning bolts across the front of the controller. There are also a pair of new Mario designs--only the latest new Mario products to release this year for the character's 35th anniversary. An understated Legend of Zelda design is up for grabs too, featuring a matte gray controller body with silver details.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Mulan live-action remake releases this Friday, September 4 on Disney+, but this isn't a traditional release like we've seen with other movies on the service like Onward, Hamilton, and Frozen 2. Instead, simply having a Disney+ subscription won't get you access--at least not immediately. If you're interested in watching Mulan this weekend on the couch with your loved ones, here's what you need to know.Mulan has a $30 Premier Access price at releaseThe only way to watch Mulan at release is to pay $30 for "Premier Access" on Disney+. You can watch Mulan in UHD, HDR, and with Dolby Audio enabled. Mulan is the first movie to fall into this category on Disney+, and Disney has said that it doesn't have plans to lock future movies behind a paywall at this time.Of course, this price is on top of the price of your Disney+ subscription ($7 per month). Disney+ doesn't currently have a free trial, so you will have to pay for at least a month to watch Mulan if you aren't already a subscriber. This would essentially raise your cost to $37 if you're only interested in Disney+ due to Mulan.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

After weeks of rumors and leaks, Nvidia finally revealed three new GPUs in its RTX 30 series, all sporting the new Ampere architecture underneath. If there's one thing speculation before the event drove home, it was that these cards were going to be expensive. And while that's certainly true for the flagship, Nvidia uncharacteristically got very aggressive with the pricing for the two cards most people will likely buy.Nvidia revealed the RTX 3070, the RTX 3080, and the RTX 3090 during its GeForce Special Event, which Nvidia billed as the biggest generational leap forward in the last 20 years of GPUs. On paper, those claims seem sound. The RTX 3070 was described as faster than Turing's flagship card, the RTX 2080 Ti, while the RTX 3080 boasts twice the performance of the RTX 2080. The RTX 3090, this generation's Titan card, is in a league of its own--and with a price point of $1500, it's not for even most enthusiast PC builds.The pricing on both the RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 came as a bit of a shock though. The least powerful card in Nvidia's new range boasts better performance that its previous flagship while also costing less than half. Today, a RTX 2080 Ti can still run just over $1000 (not far off what it launched at), while the RTX 3070 launches at just $500 in October.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Mega Evolutions recently arrived in Pokemon Go, but many players have not been entirely happy with their implementation thus far. In order to Mega Evolve a Pokemon, users must first collect that monster's Mega Energy. This, however, is typically locked behind Mega Raid Battles, making it difficult for many players to collect the required amount. Developer Niantic has acknowledged these concerns and promises to address them.In a post on Pokemon subreddit The Silph Road, a Niantic representative wrote that the studio is keeping a close eye on players' feedback regarding Mega Evolutions and is looking into ways to make the feature more accessible. In particular, the rep noted the studio has heard players "loud and clear" that they want additional ways to harvest Mega Energy outside of Raids, and that the current requirement feels too steep and not worthwhile."[P]lease know that we're discussing how we can address these concerns, though we're in the very early stages and it might be some time before you see changes implemented in-game," the representative wrote. "We do have some changes in the pipeline already, but again we don't have a set schedule just yet."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
