I thought I was pretty good at The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s absolutely my most played game on the Nintendo Switch, and I’ve been playing it literally since before launch. But after watching a gamer take on six Guardians with a collection of pot lids, I think it’s time for me to

It seems almost inconceivable that over two-decades since launch there is a subsection of gamers still uncovering the mysteries of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Pokemon Sword and Shield feel like the middle evolution of most Pokemon lines. It’s pretty charming and has a solid base but looks and feels a bit off in some way, like Quilladin or Drizzile.
