There's a Bruce Lee quote about being like water — formless, shapeless, something that fills the space it's put in. Nioh 2 is a game where fighting monsters feels like being water. An action game set in a fantasy version of Japan's Sengoku Era that casts players as a demon hunter caught in a struggle between warlords, Nioh 2 throws you in the deep end and challenges you to dazzle your way out of it.
Video games as a medium are poorly suited for immediacy — development is too long a process, and far too labor-intensive, to react to current events. Kentucky Route Zero, however, has always felt of the moment. A surreal, Twin Peaks -esque narrative game about Conway, a delivery man trying to drop off a package via a secret highway, Kentucky Route Zero was released sporadically in parts beginning in 2011 before concluding in January of this year.

Big picture: In 2019, digital game spending hit a record $109 billion, according to Nielsen. Fashion brands will be looking to capture a larger slice of that in 2020, when actual clothing matters little.
Advertisers Get Creative With Video Game Integrations
While marketing budgets are usually the first casualty of economic downturns, advertisers are circling video games like Pac-Man ghosts. Facebook noted that video games as a category showed "relative strength" despite a broader decline in ad spend.

In a world flourishing with electronic gaming competition, an entire generation is unfamiliar with NCAA Football, the Electronic Arts college game that mesmerized gamers until legal disputes over its use of player likeness suspended production in 2014.

All the big Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC game announcements, even without E3 - CNET
Nintendo's earnings exceeded all expectations. The company has a history of doing just that.
Hiroshi Yamauchi was a teenager when the first bombs dropped. The young man would become Nintendo's third-ever president, responsible for its modern incarnation as an entertainment and video game company. But when World War II devastated his home country, as it did so much of the world, any sense of normalcy was put on hold. That didn't stop his grandmother.
By the time Yamauchi took over for his grandfather in 1949, Nintendo, founded some sixty years earlier as a playing cards company, had already weathered two wars and a global depression.
