Farming AND romance? What a concept!

We’re all looking forward to the remake of Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, right? Even if you’re not, it’s fair to say that it has been a long time coming, especially when you consider just how much has gone on behind the scenes for this series since the original GameCube release back in 2004 — see, it’s not even called Harvest Moon any more! Speaking of which, we now know a little more about the next title in the Natsume-owned rival series, which has the catchy title, Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos.

We won’t go into great detail about the differences between Marvelous XSEED’s and Natsume’s respective series here, though you can check out our complete guide on Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons if you want to know more.

Gathering all of the clues about the upcoming puzzler.

The wait for what many would refer to as another proper Professor Layton title has been a long one. The initial DS trilogy captured (and then broke) our hearts before the prequels came around and kept our love for the series going across a further three games — even if the jump to the 3D art style took some getting used to.

But the last one of these, Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy, was way back in 2013, an eye-watering ten years ago. Sure, we had Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaire’s Conspiracy ported over to Switch in 2019, but that was always going to be more of a spinoff from the main story with no Hershel, no Luke, and (arguably) no intrigue on the puzzles.

Greetings, readers of the PlayStation blog! My name is Johan Vinet, and I am the creator of Lunark, a pixel-art sci-fi action game that pays homage to the 2D cinematic platformers of the 1990s. Cinematic platformers sought to immerse players by depicting realistic, methodical character mobility governed by the laws of physics. Classics like Jordan Mechner’s Prince of Persia, Eric Chahi’s Out of this World, and Paul Cuisset’s Flashback achieved this realism through detailed and lifelike animations, as well as rotoscoped cutscenes that rewarded players by punctuating key gameplay moments while also creating a unique and recognizable visual style. Rotoscoping…
