​ Link has a whole suite of new powers in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, but it seems like a lot of people are forgetting Ascend exists. I think I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve accidentally pressed up on the d-pad to try and choose one of my powers in Tears of the Kingdom. For those that are starting with the sequel, you might not realise that that was how you chose your Sheikah slate abilities in Breath of the Wild, as opposed to the L button in Tears of the Kingdom. Muscle memory is…

But Tears of the Kingdom hasn’t been out a week yet, so any glitches that have been found are yet to prove their worth (even if speedrunners have already started setting records). We do know that there are…

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor players are using the game’s immense level of lightsaber customisation to recreate some of the franchise’s most iconic (and sometimes niche) laser swords. The long-awaited sequel from EA aimed to double down on everything Jedi: Fallen Order did right, and as revealed by game director Stig Asmussen at Star Wars Celebration 2023, customisation was to be one of Jedi: Survivor’s main pillars. Beyond just different colour schemes for Cal’s ship, droid, and poncho, players could now customise everything from his moustache to his boots and, of course, his lightsaber. While most players used the ridiculous number…
