Author bio: Emily Price is a freelance writer and a PhD Candidate in medieval literature.If you lived in the Middle Ages, you’d probably be a laborer. Videogames don’t usually represent this statistical likelihood, and strategy games like Crusader Kings and Age of Empires make you a king or a general above the people.

PokĂ©mon Go has added a biome system to the game, making it so some PokĂ©mon, like Wiglett, only spawn in certain areas. Those hunting for specific PokĂ©mon will want to head over to these biomes, but they seem a little bit finicky at the moment, with not much known about them.

Little Kitty, Big City is a third-person platformer for the Nintendo Switch. It serves as the debut game for indie developer studio Double Dagger, taking a cute cat and dropping it into a big city ripe for exploration.

Unfortunately our pampered pet lacks the energy for such…
