There is a way to tell if you’re near a Mr. Raccoon toy: Listen for the sound of its tiny gears gnashing inside of it. It’s subtle. It’s easy to miss. But if you’re standing within, say, 10 feet of a Mr. Raccoon toy (and there’s no loud sounds to drown it out), you can hear it dancing.

Kingdom Hearts 3 (and the series as a whole) is overwhelming. The backstory is a gargantuan, tangled mess. Each game is filled with scores of Disney worlds and characters. By the end, players will have accumulated a host of new abilities, items, weapons, and have tried their hand at multiple minigames. But are all of these necessary to enjoy and get through the last entry in the series? Surprisingly, no. Despite that, Kingdom Hearts 3’s opening hours will overwhelm its players with multiple tutorials, menus, side missions, crafting quests, collectibles, and more.

Resident Evil 2 may share a name with a 20-year-old game, but they’re not the same. In 2019 on PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One, it’s more of a remake than a remaster. In Polygon’s Resident Evil 2 walkthroughs, we’ll take you through every step of the game’s two campaigns — one for Claire, one for Leon — which are similar in parts but very much different in others. You’ll know where to go and what to pick up along the way (and feel confident that you don’t miss anything).

Traditional fighting games tend to be designed around the classical arcade stick, but Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the rarity that requires analog controls, fully incorporating the analog range of movement into its action. Think of it as playing a Mario game, but with punches and kicks. This might be tough to get used to, but don’t worry: We’ll take you through it. Movement In the first part of this guide, we’ll explain basic movements, from walking to running to jumping and the variations of each. Running Typically one learns to walk before they run, but in Smash, running is actually easier. Simply push the left analog all the way left or right to run. You can stop on a dime by releasing the stick, or skid and turn in the other direction. But here’s a finer point. If you release the stick for a moment and then push in the other direction, you won’t skid and will instantly start running back in the other direction. This seems pretty mundane, but … [Read more...] about Smash Bros. Ultimate basics: Movement and attacks guide

The enormous list of playable characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is intimidating, especially for newcomers to the series. If you’re just starting out, you may be wondering which characters you should gravitate toward to have somewhat of a shot at winning. That’s where this guide comes in. We’ll run down a handful of easy-to-learn characters that can put in the hurt, even if you’re still trying to figure out what a Final Smash is. Kirby Kirby is a great beginner character, and not just because he’s the only character you start with in World of Light (Ultimate’s single-player campaign). Kirby has a number of strong aspects, not least of which is is puff-ball tenacity, which makes it pretty easy to return to the stage after you’ve gotten knocked away. If you find yourself coming in below the stage on a recovery, you may get a quick save by hitting up and B, since his sword attack will rocket him up, perhaps high enough to grab a ledge. … [Read more...] about Smash Bros.
