Now that it’s the fall, I’ve been in a very festive mood for Halloween. That’s why I found OBAKEIDORO available now on the Nintendo Switch eShop for only $19.99!

In this PVP game fun for the whole family, you have 3 minutes in which three Humans face off against one Monster. Gameplay can be as deep or casual as you want to make it!

Wave Break is a colorful eSports title with some totally tubular teddies.
Inspired by such games as the Tony Hawk series, Wave Break is a next level water sports game that looks pretty extraordinary. You get to play as some adorable yet ferocious bears that ride on some awesome, tricked out jet skis.
The idea of the game is to trick as much as possible while proceeding through the levels. The game looks have very similar gameplay as the Tony Hawk games, for those of you that are familiar. I, personally, am a die hard fan of those games, and can’t wait to see how this game compares.
Siiiiiiiiiiiiick We will see many of the classic tricks, i.e. major grindage, bodacious grabs, some sick manuals. I can already tell that I’m not going to be satisfied until I have insane scores in every level. Teddy bears doing a darkslide….please and thank you!!
There will be a few different game modes to check out, including a death match for all you crazies out there. I’m more excited about going head to head with friends in some gnarly trick competitions. We can also expect to some cool customizations, to give the game a more personal feel.
Make it your own style! The game also looks to have a healthy focus on comedy. Which makes sense, cuz bears with guns and all that. Even their Steam blurb had me cracking up (don’t forget to wishlist while you’re there)!
Aloha Shirts!!!! The game will feature online multiplayer, so playing with friends is def happening. The game being developed Funktronic Labs (follow them on Twitter!!!), and is set to be released sometime next year.

Finally! The Stardew Valley Multiplayer Update for PlayStation 4 is here! While Nintendo Switch and PC players were already farming with friends for some time now, PlayStation 4 fans of the game can now do the same. Xbox One players will have to wait a little longer.
ConcernedApe had updated us on the status of the multiplayer mode for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One last week. In his tweet he said that “the update was put back into certification late last week after failing certain MP-specific platform requirements, like needing a way to access player profiles from in-game. I am praying that it passes this time which could mean a release later this week.”
Luckily the process is now completed for PlayStation 4 and you can update your game on the console now to download the multiplayer update. The patch will let you play in a co-op mode and have your friends place a house on your farm. You can then do all the fun activities like farming, mining, fishing and more with friends. Even seasonal events can finally be played with friends now. Everything is better together!
Xbox One will also receive the multiplayer update at a later point. ConcernedApe mentioned that he is working hard to get the update through Microsofts verification process. I will be sure to update this article once it becomes available on Xbox as well!
Stardew Valley will also be getting a major content update soon with fish ponds heading to the game in the near future! If you have been playing the game for many years like me, then you might want to take a look at this Stardew Valley mod, that promises to deliver a whole new day one like experience!

The Crown is a Fantasy Kingdom Builder where you play from the perspective of your Monarch (3rd-person view). Build and manage your Kingdom in unique ways while fighting off invaders. The game is currently in early development (about 7 months) by Brimstone Games with a free demo on PC coming soon in 2019. The company focuses on creating non-realistic system-driven games with a strong emphasis on cozy and charming art styles.
I don’t know much about this game so far, but what I do know, is hilarious. You’ll immediately notice in the video below that this builder is more hands-on than usual. What I mean by that is all buildings require you to throw materials at them. There’s actually quite a lot of throwing involved period; throw your trees, throw your buildings, throw your peasants, throw your wife and kids…Joking about that last part. It is also worth mentioning that the developers pointed that “you can arrest a horse”.
