Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to launch later this year. Maybe in October? Regardless of when it arrives, it seems very likely now—after Nintendo and Microsoft have both announced $80 games—that the open-world sequel will cost at least $80 as well, if not more.
How exhausted are you by stagger? It’s unironically the worst status affliction in video gaming history. Thankfully, it’s not much of an issue in Assassin’s Creed Shadows—at least for the player. The action-adventure from Ubisoft does have a similar status effect—Daze—but you’ll most often be the one inflicting it…
Naoe and Yasuke’s ongoing journey through the Wide Wide World of Bastards continues with The Naginata, a panicky, flopsweaty stooge who doesn’t even have the honor of fighting an old drunk one-on-one given the opportunity.

In the imaginations of the Coconuts who make Walkabout Mini Golf, a drive up the Pacific Coast Highway of the United States in the 1970s brings visitors to a roadside attraction among the giant redwoods inhabited by happy well-fed dinosaurs.
Mighty Coconut has taken the nostalgia factor to extraordinary new heights in Raptor Cliffs. The journey from hole 1 to 18 is quite the trip if you happen to be familiar with those views of the Pacific Ocean you can find along that long road through California, Oregon and Washington.
The new paid downloadable add-on course for Walkabout is available today following a string of eye-catching expansions with Mount Olympus, Viva Las Elvis and Wallace & Gromit. Raptor Cliffs is the 33rd course in the game, selling for $4, and it opens for visitors alongside a price increase for the core game on May 1 to $25 with 14 courses bundled in.
We asked Greg Lloyd to tour Raptor Cliffs with Walkabout original creator Lucas Martell and art director Don Carson and he captured a 25-minute walkthrough for us. Some of our readers purchase these courses sight unseen partially to avoid spoilers before setting foot inside the new course themselves, but we capture these tours to illuminate the artists and design considerations behind one of VR’s best places.
The tour video embedded below premieres the same moment the new course becomes available on all platforms.
You can see the design evolution of Walkabout Mini Golf across dozens of design tours we’ve captured over the years embedded in the playlist below.
You can also read about Walkabout’s design philosophy from former Imagineer Don Carson and about the twins who stay connected in the safe spaces provided by the game.

Monster Hunter Wilds has a habit of keeping things vague when it comes to various mechanics or how items work. Not everything can be as obvious as how to interact with Wounds. No matter if you find it charming or frustrating, you’re bound to be confused here and there. A great example of this is Commission Tickets,…

Pavlov Shack and Kill It With Fire VR are the Meta Quest+ monthly redeemable titles for May 2025.
The Meta Quest+ subscription lets you redeem two pre-selected games each month as well as access the titles in its Games Catalog.
Redeeming these monthly games lets you play them while your subscription remains active. Should you cancel the subscription, previously redeemed games won’t be playable until you resubscribe.
Quest+ is available on Quest 2, Quest Pro, Quest 3, and Quest 3S.
Last month’s monthly redeemable games were Breachers and Thrasher.
Pavlov Shack is the standalone VR spinoff of the PC VR and PS VR2 shooter Pavlov, and it does not support crossplay with those platforms.
It’s a team-based multiplayer shooter similar to Call of Duty, offering a variety of game modes including Team Deathmatch and Search and Destroy, and usually attracts a younger crowd than Onward.
Kill It With Fire VR is the VR port of the singleplayer flatscreen game Kill It With Fire, which sees you hunt and kill spiders… with fire.

It sounds like nightmare for arachnophobes, or perhaps catharsis if they’re actively trying to get over their fear.
