Endless Ocean Luminous review

System: Switch
Release date: May 2, 2024
Developer: Akira
Publisher: Nintendo


As thoroughly as humanity has managed to explore the surface of our planet up through the present day, it’s a well-known fact that the vast majority of Earth’s oceans remain unexplored. And while plenty of games have sought to make tangible the feeling of exploring an underwater realm, Nintendo’s Endless Ocean series remains one of only a handful that focuses on our planet’s biology first and foremost. It’s been over a decade since the last game in the series, Endless Ocean: Blue World, released on the Wii; that game has held a special place in my heart ever since, so I was excited to see Endless Ocean Luminous announced for the Switch. In some ways, it manages to bring the series forward in exactly the ways I had hoped – its expanded focus on multiplayer helps the sprawling seas feel a little more lively and dynamic, and enhanced controls and visuals make the act of exploring more pleasant than ever. Unfortunately, as an overall experience, Endless Ocean Luminous is a significant step backward from its predecessor in many ways, resulting in a package that feels significantly shallower than I had hoped.

Primarina Pokemon Scarlet Violet Tera Raid

The Pokemon Company and Game Freak announced that Primarina will be the next Tera Raid Battle event for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet.

The creature will be showing up in 7 Star Raids while it’s active. Primarina has the Fairy Tera Type and comes with the Mightiest Mark. It can be caught only once per save file.

Another Daily Demon video for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance has been released by Atlus. Turbo-Granny takes the spotlight today.

Mortal Kombat 1 Homelander

Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios are offering up a first look at Homelander in Mortal Kombat 1 with a new trailer. The character will be the next DLC character for the game, though there’s no release date just yet.

Homelander is just one of several characters in the Kombat Pack DLC. Ermac, Omni-Man, Peacemaker, Quan Chi, and Takeda are the others.
