Nintendo has lifted the review embargo on Kirby Star Allies, and a number of verdicts are starting to pour in. We’ve rounded up some of the early reviews below.
Stardew Valley developer ConcernedApe has long been working on a multiplayer update. On top of that, new content will be included as part of the upcoming patch.
On Twitter yesterday, ConcernedApe shared the latest on the update. First, multiplayer functionality “is in QA and bugs are being fixed at a very good pace”. And most important of all, players will now be able to place hats on horses.
One of my favorite things in the new update… hats on your horses. They look very good on the horse. Looks pretty natural, actually pic.twitter.com/K3DtR1pb8e
