Hyper Light Breaker has been in a weird place since its early access launch in January: It's a great action game with a gorgeous neon sci-fi art style, but the hybrid roguelike/extraction shooter structure surrounding that core has been roundly criticized by players.But despite taking it on the chin in the Steam user reviews, developer Heart Machine is responding to those critiques constructively, with its upcoming Buried Below update set...
Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders opened on April 24, and the rush to purchase the console resulted in a lot of chaos, a lot of confusion, and a lot of would-be buyers left with empty carts when pre-orders quickly sold out.
