Quick Links It might seem a little counter-intuitive at first, given the sub-zero conditionsup in Climate Controlwhen you first get there inMudborne, that you’ll need to rely on the Cooler and the cooling power of the right kinds of frogs to get to the Climate Control machine and reset it.

Even though there is plenty that separates these two games, there’s a surprising amount that they share, too, so which comes out on top?...

Quick Links Clair Obscur: Expedition 33is the debut title from French development studio, Sandfall Interactive.

Both have made stellar comebacks in recent years: Street Fighter 6 earned itselfa perfect scorefrom us, whileFatal Fury: City of the Wolves helped its series rise from the ashes 25 years after its last entry. But in the ’90s, the two developers were bitter rivals.
