How many layers are in Donkey Kong Bananza is a slightly more complex subject than you might initially think. Every layer is structured differently, some with multiple sublayers, and all with varying numbers of Banandium Gems to grab. The way Bananza is structured means that you’re free to tackle it all at your own pace, though, and can (usually) hop back to an earlier layer to grab collectibles you might’ve...
James Gunn’s Superman nails a lot of elements — its earnest take on the Man of Steel, a scene-stealing Jimmy Olsen as an unexpected heartthrob, and a fiercely driven Lois Lane. But just as worthy of praise is Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor, who captures the character’s signature pettiness with pitch-perfect precision. Luthor sees himself as the smartest person in the DC universe, and in Superman, he might also be the...
While I spend more time than I’d like to admit watching Dropout’s stable of excellent, improv-heavy comedy shows, last year’s Gastronauts is one of the few Dropout programs I haven’t yet checked out. After the new trailer for Gastronauts season 2 made my gut bust with laughter (and rumble with hunger), I think that’s going to change when it returns next month. Hosted by Jordan Myrick, Gastronauts is a comedic...

With the launch of The Edge of Fate expansion, we’re introduced to yet approach to gear and levelling in Destiny 2, including Armour 3.0 and world/gear tiers. I swear it’s a yearly overhaul at this point. But boy, what a grind it is this time around, pushing us towards the Portal—a brand-new ‘main menu’ so to speak—to climb through the ranks. While it's already caused some controversy, such as stealing...

Nostalgia Country is an Ancient Ruin in Donkey Kong Bananza that takes you back to the world of Donkey Kong Country. This Ancient Ruin switches your perspective from a 3D world to a sidescrolling platformer, but as it’s still Donkey Kong Bananza, there are three Banandium Gems for you to collect. One of the Banandium Gems is particularly difficult to find, but luckily it can be found as soon as...
There are loads of entertaining new titles coming to Game Pass this month, but that also means a few games are being removed from the catalogue. If you have an Xbox or PC, you have two weeks to dive in. Among the departing slate is a Capcom hidden gem: Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. According to us (the authorities!), the single-player action-strategy game based on Japanese folklore feels like it...
