Despite facing challenges such as initial inventory shortages and price increases, the current generation system has remarkably managed to surpass 7 million in total sales.

Currently, players have an opportunity to immerse themselves directly into the action as a demo version has been released on Steam. This demo serves as a preview before the official release of the game, which is scheduled for both PC and PlayStation 5 platforms in the year 2025.

In the video provided, you’ll find Light Brick Studio developers detailing their creative approach for developing LEGO Voyagers, including its navigational challenges. Initially, players could traverse by keeping a direction pressed, causing their in-game characters (mini LEGO bricks) to roll around in that direction. Subsequently, the team introduced additional elements to enhance the gameplay experience, such as enabling the small bricks to connect with larger bricks and move them along too.

The initial Layton series installment, titled “Professor Layton and the Mysterious Town,” debuted in the US on Nintendo DS in 2008 and rapidly gained popularity. For three weeks post-release, it ranked as the top-selling DS game. Its success can be attributed to its distinct style, as well as its combination of puzzles, mini-games, and captivating narrative. However, some players and critics found the intertwining of puzzles and storyline less engaging, stating that the game’s mystery was too straightforward. Contrary to visual novels, “Mysterious Town” offers minimal guidance.

A new trailer for the upcoming anime adaptation of the popular 1980s heist manga, Cat’s Eye, has been released by Hulu. The show is set to stream on their platform when it premieres on September 26th in the US. Originally, it was thought that Cat’s Eye would be exclusive to Disney+, but now it appears that it will also be available on Hulu. This anime falls under Disney’s “Star” branding, which includes both Disney+ and Hulu in the US, as well as the Star platform in other countries. For viewers residing outside the US, they may watch Cat’s Eye on either Disney+ or Star.

Console Variations, a site specializing in documenting unusual video game hardware, acquired the controller for approximately $1,300 on eBay.

Although he showed enthusiasm for the concept, he made it clear that he’d prefer to develop his unique spin on the Alien franchise, including his personal vision of the Xenomorph creatures.

However, his preference leans more towards working on original projects rather than ones based on licensed intellectual properties.

Prior to the scheduled launch of Borderlands 4 on September 12th, critiques have started coming out, with Metacritic reporting an initial Metascore of 84 for the game. This score positions it within the “Generally Favorable” category, not quite reaching the caliber of Game of the Year nominees, but still respectable. It scores a few points higher than Borderlands 3’s 81, but the reviews suggest that it’s more than just the numbers that indicate Borderlands 4 is meeting and even exceeding fans’ expectations. Early feedback indicates that the game will bring back elements that made earlier installments in the series beloved among fans.
