NME’s 20 best games of 2021 included other games including Chicory: A Colorful Tale, Super Mario 3D World: Bowser’s Fury, Monster Hunter Rise, and Psychonauts 2.
In other gaming news, Resident Evil Village is apparently the most-completed game of 2021 according to HowLongToBeat. Metroid Dread came in second with Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart third and It Takes Two fourth, while Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury took fifth place.
Elsewhere, Pyschonauts 2 developer, Double Fine Productions, is now working on “multiple new projects”, including Mac and Linux ports for its latest game and a “huge” making-of documentary.
Also, news has emerged that Battlefield 2042 was meant to have earthquakes, fire tornadoes, and a lot more significant weather effects according to one industry insider. If the report is to be believed, the extensive effects were cut due to a lack of time during development.
