     Smite 2 wasn't planned, but one huge discovery changed everything

There are an awful lot of sequels this year: Stalker 2, Dragon's Dogma 2, and, my favorite of course, Bloodlines 2. But what I didn't see coming was Smite 2, an enhanced version of Titan Forge Games' decade-old MOBA. So, when we asked executive producer Alex Cantatore, Titan Forge general manager and Smite 2 creative director Travis Brown, and advanced game designer Daniel 'PonPon' Cooper about how Smite 2 came to be, they admitted that a sequel wasn't planned.

     Gigabyte Aorus MO34WQC2 preview – a 34in ultrawide, 240Hz OLED

The Gigabyte Aorus MO34WQC2 is one of several new 34-inch ultrawide OLED gaming monitors to be arriving in 2024, after a whole load of them were announced at CES 2024. This Gigabyte one goes to 240Hz and packs in a 3,440 x 1,440 resolution, plus it includes KVM functionality, so you can connect the screen, keyboard and mouse to multiple devices and have all three switch which device is being connected.

On show at CES 2024, we got some brief hands-on time with the panel to see how it holds up and find out if it's set to be a best gaming monitor contender when it becomes available later in the year.

     One of new most wanted Steam games is like Pokemon with guns

Palworld has been causing quite the stir. This quirky mash-up of gunplay and monster-collecting has captured the attention of Pokemon fans and non-fans alike, launching the game into Steam's most wishlisted top four. That's no small achievement, and it bodes well for tomorrow's early access release.

     The OneXplayer X1 costs more than two Steam Deck OLEDs

The OneXplayer X1 was revealed earlier this week, and now that it has a price, I can honestly say it's a bit disappointing. You could grab not one, but two Steam Deck OLEDs for the same price as the base Intel Core Ultra 7 X1 model.

Whether or not the X1 is a real competitor for being the best handheld gaming PC remains to be seen, as we still don't have a firm release date. What I can safely say, is that the OneXPlayer X1 is of no concern to dedicated gaming handhelds thanks to a confusing price structure that doesn't even include the controllers.

     Gigabyte Aorus FQ32U2P preview: 32-inch 4K OLED is the new must-have

The new Gigabyte Aorus FS32U2P is set to be an ideal all-rounder gaming screen for PC gamers this year, as its combination of pixel density, screen size, and refresh rate means it can do just about anything. It doesn't come cheap but when we got hands on with it at CES 2024, we couldn't help but be impressed and long for the day we get to review it.

One of the biggest overarching trends of CES 2024 - and in turn one of the biggest trends we're set to experience in PC gaming for 2024 - is the explosion of OLED-based gaming monitors and laptop screens. They were everywhere, and while the huge super wide screens and ultra-fast refresh displays were exciting, it's the balance of speed and pixel-density of this panel, and others like it, that's so exciting.

The results have been immediate, with graphics cards from major brands, including XFX, PowerColor, and Sapphire, going as low as $709 – that's a big drop from the prices of at least $789 just last month.

     Payday 3 assembles new dev team to make the game actually good

Payday 3 is going through a very rough patch. Arriving in September 2023, the eagerly awaited heist shooter had big expectations to meet. Payday 2 had more or less created an entirely new genre, and cultivated a huge following thanks to its smart, small-scale co-op gameplay and a series of well-loved updates. Payday 3 on the other hand suffered from technical and server issues, delayed patches, and a rapid exodus of its player base, which largely returned to its more reliable predecessor. As it stands, Payday 3 has a 'mostly negative' Steam rating based on recent player feedback. Likewise, its peak Steam player count for the last 24 hours is just 713 - Payday 2's is 33,550. But Starbreeze Studios says it has a plan, and is assembling a new "strike team" composed of series veterans to rescue Payday 3 and make it the game that fans always wanted.

If you've had enough Skyrim, finished Fallout 4, got to the end of Starfield, and want some more Bethesda magic before ES6, well, this is definitely a nice surprise.

With an element of randomness, or RNG, to finding and catching your Palworld Pals, and their stats thereafter, breeding is a great method for creating a team of the strongest creatures in the adventure game.

Readers may remember how much I liked Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, principally because of how funny it was. It was an intelligent and somewhat loving take on a Zelda-y RPG - a small town hero gets a sword and goes on a rampage fighting some bosses - except the main character is a turnip. And also he tears up any paperwork handed to him. Turnip Boy Robs A Bank follows directly on from his Tax Evasion, and it's not quite as funny or as focused, but it's also an entirely different genre of game, and I have a huge amount respect for that.

Review: Another Code: Recollection Switch Offers a Fresh Look

I always thought of Trace Memory as another launch window DS game designed to introduce the handheld. Especially since there was a DTS "system" in-game. It isn't my favorite of Cing's games, but I had fond memories of it. Now that it and its sequel returned worldwide on the Nintendo Switch as Another Code: Recollection, the remake certainly feels refreshing.

Ashley's been going through it as Two Memories begins. A tragedy took both of her parents away, leaving her to be raised by her Aunt Jessica. However, when she turns 14, she gets a package from her father. It contains a DAS (Dual Another System) biometrically linked to her, as well as a note bidding her to meet him at Blood Edward Island. Upon getting there, Ashley's father doesn't seem to be there, Jessica seems to be abducted, and Ashley meets a ghost named D searching for his memories. 

Image via Nintendo

Once someone experiences that, they can follow up with Journey into Lost Memories. This again follows more of the mysteries surrounding Ashley's family, as she again teams up with a young man named Matthew with a new device. 

As far as the story goes, both are relatively strong stories. Ashley is a fantastic and identifiable heroine, and it's one of those situations where she does often feel like a teenager reacting reasonably to situations around her. I also really enjoyed the exploration and thought put into the topic of memories. 

Image via Nintendo

Both Another Code games are adventures in which you're exploring locations, solving puzzles, and talking to different people to gain more information about situations. As these are remakes, it looks quite different from the original games. There are 3D environments and worlds, the character models are all refreshed, the voice acting is great in both languages, and it generally feels more fleshed out than before. They're really admirable remakes, and I found it heartening to see games Cing originally created get this sort of treatment. The visual novel segments also offer this sort of comic panel approach sometimes, which worked quite well.

The thing about Another Code: Recollection is that I feel like some of the issues with the original Trace Memory appear in this Switch installment. The puzzles in both games are really quite easy and didn't pose much of a challenge as I played. While the pacing is better in the second game, the first also does sort of breeze through things. This isn't a duo of especially challenging games. Also, because these are both Switch titles now, I was a bit sad to see the DS-exclusive puzzles go. (For example, blowing into the microphone was necessary in the past.) Given there are also optional hints and a guiding marker showing you exactly where to go, it can go overboard on explaining and hand-holding if you choose to allow that.

Image via Nintendo

But in a way, I also appreciated how low-stress the experience was when I played Another Code: Recollection on the Switch. Especially since it paired so well with the new appearance. The games look absolutely gorgeous. Even though the hand-drawn style of character portraits are gone, the new character design direction still feels like it captures that same sense of personality. It really suits the tone of the stories.

Another Code: Recollection doesn't make huge changes to the overall formula of the games, as they're still very introductory and in one case short adventures. However, these Switch remakes look fantastic and are quite impressive in terms of how well they adapt the titles. If someone is looking for games with solid stories or is looking for a first adventure game for someone, this collection is a good fit.

Another Code: Recollection will come to the Nintendo Switch on January 19, 2024. A demo is available
