Before SuperMash starts, it warns the player that what the games it makes can be fun and work or be messy and not work at all. Even after being warned, I wish I’d experienced more of the promised fun and not the dry, buggy cliched games I got. Golf Story this is not. Saying that,

Sentient spaceships in media are nothing new, but usually, you’re fighting said sentient ship and not using it to overthrow the dark space cult that gave you evil powers.

Final Fantasy VII Remake topped the PS4 charts last month, and if you ask me, it earned it. Meanwhile, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare took the runner-up spot, followed by NBA 2K20 and GTA V. Beat Saber, Creed: Rise to Glory, and Job Simulator took the top spots for PS VR, and Call of Duty:

The ESRB’s rating for Cyberpunk 2077 is now live online. It paints quite the colorful picture for CD Projekt RED’s latest RPG, too.

Most interestingly, ESRB’s rating summary makes note of
