Case in point: Prolific Oblivion YouTuber Bacon_ (you’ve absolutely seen at least one of their videos before) beating the remaster in 12.5 minutes thanks to the door to the end of the game someone left in the Imperial City…

Many will already be familiar with the open world racing game, seeing as it’s several years old at this stage, but for those who’ve never touched the series, can it be said that PlayStation players have been missing out?

Beyond the Ice Palace 2 is an action platformer for the Nintendo Switch. It actually serves as a sequel to the 1988 Atari title, Beyond the Ice Palace. After such a long break, was it worth the wait? The original Beyond the Ice Palace was a side-scrolling action title in the vein of Ghosts ‘n Goblins.
