The adventure begins with the origins of Batman as a young Bruce Wayne trains with The League of Shadows, and throughout the story-led campaign, players will build a family of allies with well-known characters including Jim Gordon, Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Catwoman, and Talia al Ghul to help confront an ever-growing threat from a Rogues Gallery of DC Super-Villains, facing the likes of The Joker, The Penguin, Poison Ivy, Ra’s al Ghul, Bane, and more. The game takes place against the backdrop of Gotham City, an open-world LEGO playground full of crimes to stop, puzzles to solve, rewards to collect, and surprises to discover around every corner, down every alleyway, and on every rooftop. Players can grapple, glide, or drive through the environment, zipping from building to building with Batman’s grapple launcher, soaring over the city with the Batglider, or cruising around in style with a range of Batmobiles and Batcycles. The Batcave can also be customized to display vehicles, trophies, and collectibles, plus an assortment of wearable Batsuits based on past Batman related media.

Square-Enix's line of HD-2D role-playing games have been hailed for how they balance nostalgic appeal with modern-day visuals, and next month, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales joins that growing library. A new demo for the game is also available right now, giving you an early slice of the next title from the creators behind Octopath Traveler and Bravely Default.

An action-RPG with real-time combat, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales follows the adventurer Elliot and his fairy sidekick Faie on their journey to complete a thousand-year mission. As part of their mission to lift the curse placed on Princess Heuria of Huther, Elliot and Faie will explore different periods in history, from humanity's strife-filled Age of Reconstruction to the height of prosperity in the Age of Magic. Every era has a looming threat that Elliot and Fae must deal with, and like previous Square-Enix games, the entire experience looks like an homage to Super NES-era JRPGs.

"The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales has some elements to overcome--a chatty companion character and, let's be honest, a clunky title," Steve Watts wrote in his preview. "But it also showed that HD-2D can be applied to other genres that we remember fondly from decades ago. And more than just empty nostalgia or homage, it looks to build on those elements."

Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle

$500 (Increases to $550 starting September 1)

See at Amazon View at other stores See at Best Buy See at GameStop See at Nintendo

Nintendo's new $500 Nintendo Switch 2 Choose Your Game Bundle is now available in-stores and at online retailers. It was originally scheduled to launch on June 7 but has arrived a couple weeks early. The package includes the Switch 2 console and a digital game code that can be used on one of three possible titles: Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokemon Pokopia. When purchased separately, Mario Kart World retails for $80, while Donkey Kong Bananza and Pokemon Pokopia both retail for $70. That saves shoppers at least $20-$30 depending on which game you buy. Note that Nintendo announced it is raising the price of the base Switch 2 model from $450 to $500 starting September 1. The price hike will also apply to this bundle, which will jump to $550, so you will only have a few months to pick this bundle up at its current price.

Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle

$500 (Increases to $550 starting September 1)

As mentioned above, this new bundle includes the Switch 2 console, Switch 2 dock, a set of Joycon 2 controllers, and all the necessary components to hook the device up to your TV. You also get a voucher code that lets you pick one of three digital edition games from the Nintendo eShop:

• Mario Kart World (normally $80)
• Donkey Kong Bananza (normally $70)
• Pokemon Pokopia (normally $70)

There is only one voucher per console, and you can only use the voucher once. However, once you've redeemed the game, it's added to your library permanently and you'll be able to download and play whenever you want. You can also share the downloaded game to other Switch 2 devices you own or those on your NSO family plan via the Swtich 2's Virtual Game Card system.

If you're planning to pick up the bundle but aren't sure which game to use the voucher on, you can check out our reviews for Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Pokemon Pokopia--all of which scored 9/10 from our reviewers--to see which might appeal to you most. Note that you'll have to download the full game to your Switch 2 before you can start playing, which can take a while depending on the file size and the strength of your internet connection. Luckily, the Switch 2 ships with 256 GB of internal storage, which is more than enough to download and install any of the games on offer. It can also be expanded using a microSD Express card. Here's the data footprint of each of the three games you can pick, in case you're curious:

• Mario Kart World: 22 GB
• Donkey Kong Bananza: 9 GB
• Pokemon Pokopia: 6.2 GB

If the games in this bundle don't appeal to you and you just want to grab a Switch 2 at the lowest possible price, you can do that at most major retailers for $450. As long as you get your order in before September 1, you'll still get the old price before the increase. While Nintendo may not reduce the cost of its first-party games very often, you still have floods of excellent indies to choose from via the eShop and the many physical edition games available for the system.

The planet of Proteus offers a slew of resources for you to loot in Subnautica 2, but some of the most difficult ones to find are minerals. Minerals such as Titanium, Copper, and Silver are used in a variety of crafting recipes, and you'll often have to head out on scavenging trips just to get enough of one resource for a single item on your to-do list. However, perhaps the most difficult mineral to find in Subnautica 2 is Gold.

Gold isn't used too frequently in Subnautica 2, but you'll suddenly need it for a crafting recipe and likely have no idea where to look. For a full explanation on how to find Gold, keep reading the guide below.

Gold location in Subnautica 2

Unlike many of the other minerals in Subnautica 2, you won't just find a deposit of it in some random location. Instead, you'll have to progress the story of the game before you're able to even access the area of Proteus that has Gold.

For the past few years, major first-party exclusives for both the Xbox and PlayStation consoles have been expected to arrive on PC after a certain period of time--if not same-day. However, with brands now looking to differentiate themselves in the current hardware market, the winds seem to be shifting. Reporting from various sources in the last few months has indicated that Sony intends to step away from bringing some of their high-profile exclusives to PC. This approach has now apparently been confirmed by Head of PlayStation Studios Hermen Hulst himself.

According to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier--who previously broke some initial reporting about the change in strategy--Hulst revealed in a staff meeting today that "the company's narrative single-player games will now be PlayStation exclusive." This means that the likes of Saros, Ghost of Yotei, and the upcoming Wolverine are unlikely to come to PC in the near future, though multiplayer-centric titles like the megahit Helldivers II and the recent Marathon are still likely to see cross-platform play.

While this is a disappointment to PC gamers, the business logic behind it is sound. With the overall gaming hardware market becoming more cutthroat--and more expensive--it makes sense for Sony to attempt to differentiate themselves from the competition through the tried-and-true method of big-budget, critically acclaimed exclusives. We'll have to wait and see if the strategy pays off in console and game sales.
