  05-10-2026 23:03 via gamesradar.com
  
  Lie of Caelum: Spirit recently bagged more than $100,000 in extra Kickstarter funds on the back of stellar art and music, and the promise of a "PSX-style sci-fi mecha JRPG" that was "inspired by Xenogears and Phantasy Star." This all sounds well and good, but my gast wasn't truly flabbered until I learned that this 3D mech game was made in RPG Maker.I don't know if you've ever played an RPG Maker game, but they don't normally look like this: Already listed on Steam, Lie of Caelum: Spirit was mad

• GameStop Is Preparing Us For Next-Gen Pricing With $1,400 Used PS5 Pros

  06-10-2026 17:19 via gamespot.com

Starting today, the video game store is listing pre-owned PS5 Pros for $1,400, though GameStop Pro members only need to dish out $1,330. Basically, it's a $500 surcharge over a brand-new PS5 Pro and capitalizing on the fact that those are stock-constrained currently.A generous take on GameStop's new strategy for used PS5 Pros is that the company's conditioning us ahead of the possibility that

  Two years on from the launch of its popular Wolverine V3 Pro controller, Razer is launching the Wolverine V4 Pro, and while it looks nearly identical, it's hiding some tricks within. Most notably, this new Xbox Series X controller has opted not to use TMR thumbsticks, which have become the industry gold standard since the last Wolverine hit the shelves. In fact, Razer has chosen to include swappable magnetic elements in the Wolverine V4 Pro, which means a choice of TMR sticks (Tunneling magneto-

• Sega decides official Sonic Discord server is a good idea, is quickly proven wrong: "Sonic pregnant"

  Sega has created an official Sonic the Hedgehog Discord server, giving the blue blur's most dedicated fans a space to chat about the series and everything they love about it together, in an extremely bold move that everyone seems to be having the same reaction to: Oh no.Look, I have nothing against Sonic. In fact, one of the very first games I ever played at 4 years old was Sonic: 3D Blast, and I've been a casual fan of the series ever since. But the hardcore Sonic fanbase has a reputation for b

• This One Hilarious Line Sold Me On Final Fantasy Resonance

  Final Fantasy Resonance is the first Final Fantasy game to use Square Enix's housemade "2D-HD" graphical style, as it revives the now-defunct mobile game Final Fantasy Brave Exvius and turns it into a full-fledged console RPG with all the trappings you'd expect. The demo was suitably impressive at showing how Resonance will tell an original Final Fantasy story that also pays homage to the entire series up to this point. But the element that sold me most was the sense of humor it seems to have ab

  I'm not sure there's a better time than Fall to be settling down with a good Lego set. The weather's closing in and the temperature's dropping outside, so cozying up at home with a brick-built project or two is a good way to see in the season if you ask me.

  Star Wars: Galactic Racer is getting well-deserved plaudits for its tense high-speed arcade racing action and an inventive roguelite structure that fits the genre like Vader's black glove. I have yet to complete the single-player campaign, but before I even realized it was a roguelite, the Star Wars racing game earned my respect with a statement of intent. Namely: It let me fail almost immediately.As you may know if you've been following coverage including Jordan Ramée's excellent review,

• Steam Frame Gets VR Right Where So Many Others Went Wrong

  The virtual reality market has grown over the years, and depending on your budget, there's probably a VR headset out there for you.

Switch Sports Resort is now the fifth game in the franchise, and while it still finds some depth in surprising places, the novelty is also wearing thin.I got an extended hands-on with Switch Sports Resort, trying out a total of eight sports and activities from the selection, an

Silver Pines wears its influences on its traditional detective coat sleeve, and that's by no means a bad thing. It fuses together the elements it's taking from each masterfully, resulting in a survival horror Metroidvania that is powerfully gripping from start to finish as Detective Walker investigates a strange, forgotten, and abandoned town on the trail of a missing musician.Beautiful painterly

I don't know what it is about the likes of Mario Kart World and Super Smash Bros.
