Feature | Star Fox: Assault soared with its Arwing missions
Aparoid Spritz.
Even the most diehard Star Fox fans will likely admit it's one of Nintendo's most mismanaged series. I could sing Star Fox 64's praises all day; those fantastic space battles in the Arwing mean it's one of the few games I continue revisiting. However, later entries left the series struggling to establish a cohesive direction. Adventures wasn't originally a Star Fox game, Command's strategic gameplay didn't universally appeal, while gimmicky controls significantly hampered Zero.

Feature | Sea of Thieves devs discuss "surreal" PS5 launch and 2024's "year of the sandbox"
And why it won't flag PS5 owners by their console on Xbox.
Sea of Thieves, you might have heard, is heading to PlayStation 5 next month. It's a significant moment for all sorts of reasons – it's perhaps the biggest of the four Microsoft first-party titles recently confirmed for Sony's console, and it's also the first time developer Rare has released a PlayStation title in its nearly 40-year history – but it's also an opportunity for a whole new group of players to experience (and I say this as a huge Sea of Thieves fan) a wonderful, genuinely unique game. And with the multiplayer pirate adventure's 30th April launch on PS5 looming, I spoke to creative director Mike Chapman and executive producer Joe Neate about this latest milestone, the state of the game, and the team's big sandbox focus for 2024.
