Star Fox is getting an impressive-looking remake for the Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo announced via a shadow-dropped Nintendo Direct event. Simply titled Star Fox, the game is a remake of the popular Star Fox 64 (known in some regions as Lylat Wars) that served as many a fan’s entry into the series back in 1997 on the Nintendo 64 system. This news, while definitely coming out of nowhere, has been building up with the character making an appearance in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and a major leak at Nintendo pointing to the first new game starring the titular Fox…

Saros is an experience that is hard to explain. Wrapped in bizarre moments of abstract horror, in between a narrative that could require a compass to navigate, it can be challenging to wrap your brain around it.

Who among us doesn’t love a little excess, though? In the introduction, we join Arjun Devraj, who awakens already stuck in the loop of the planet Carcosa. A loop brought about by a visually striking…
