Xen and the art of automobile maintenance

At some point in the recent past, something weird happened along the Pacific Northwest coast of the United States. Now there are strange phenomena among the tall pines: clusters of rocks that bob in mid-air, unnatural glimmers of golden light emerging from the earth, stone pillars that rise from it seemingly of their own volition – and these are the examples with less obviously hostile intentions. This space has been designated the Olympic Exclusion Zone. And you’re trapped on the far side of it, with only a beaten-up station wagon to get you home.
In order to do that, you’ll first need to map out the Zone, one trip at a time. It’s split into smaller areas, each containing a randomised selection of anomalies as well as resources to keep your car ticking, most of them stripped off wrecks that attempted this journey before you. Pacific Drive has a Roguelike run-based structure, essentially, and Ironwood Studios invokes Spelunky’s level-timer ghost as a comparison for the storm that closes in when you’ve spent too long in the Zone. That game’s constant evaluation of risk versus reward is evident here too, but structurally Pacific Drive seems closest to the post-

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour
Like us, we imagine that your first goal on setting up a new console is not to sit and read about its features but to play with them. And yet the first exhibit we land on in Welcome Tour is a series of information boards explaining the ins and outs of Switch 2’s new mouse control, followed by a quiz in which we regurgitate the information just fed to us.

Mario Kart World
Has the Mushroom Kingdom ever made sense as a coherent world? Certainly that's never been the priority of Nintendo's designers over the previous decades, laying its foundations over various series, genres and generations. So it's a joyous surprise to drive from one end of World's incarnation and discover how natural it all feels to have this place, these places, presented as a single landmass.

The Alters
Sometimes your life changes in a moment, and as much as you want to pause time and retrace your steps, the world moves on into the following hours and days, and takes you with it. This is the world builder Jan Dolski finds himself in when he is the only survivor of a crash on a mission to find the world-changing element rapidium. It's his job now to operate the mobile base and return to Earth — and hopefully finish the mission, too. There is no time to lose: come sunrise, the intense radiation will mean game over.

Date Everything!
Perhaps this is what Marx meant when he talked about the commodity fetish. Date Everything is a game in which you more or less do as the title says. A mysterious benefactor grants you glasses that transform every object in your house, from the microwave to the smoke alarm, into a sort of human being. Then you get to know them and influence them to like, love or hate you. There is an overarching plot, detailing the motives of your benefactor, but you'll spend most of your time talking to objects (and solving a few puzzles in the explorable house).
