Brave Dungeon + Dark Witch’s Story: COMBAT coming to PS5 on October 24

Image: Jim Norman / Nintendo LifeAs we tiptoe ever closer to the Ocarina of Time Switch 2 release date, my playthrough of the N64 original continues. Indeed, this week tips me past the halfway point, so there's no turning back. If you missed weeks one through four, I'm revisiting OoT, one dungeon a week, and sharing all the things I loved (and the things I didn't) on my replay.

Captured on Nintendo Switch 2 (Docked)Is there a scent more heartwarming than freshly baked bread? French developer Sunny Lab and publisher Silver Lining Interactive don’t think so, if The Witch’s Bakery is anything to go by. This narrative-led adventure sim is filled with cute characters, emotional stories, and pastries. And although you can’t smell the baked goods themselves, you can immerse yourself in Parisian – and otherworldly – wonderlands. You get flavours of Kiki’s Delivery Service throughout the game: anime art style, young witch protagonist, sassy familiar, bakery setting, not to mention emotional storyline. But instead of delivering for the bakery, this witch works in the bakery. And instead of flying, her main power is seeing into people’s hearts. Sunny Lab mixes these ingredients together to serve up a game that’s hearty and moreish, even if it doesn’t all go down smoothly.

I would really like it if someone made a Delicious in Dungeon game. It doesn't have to be official, it can be legally distinct! I've been asking for over two years now! I imagine I'll have to keep waiting, but luckily for me, a new game is out today which certainly feels reminiscent of the delightful (and morbid) anime, while still going for its own thing: Deep Dish Dungeon, a co-op dungeon crawler about making do with the ingredients you find that has a dash of Metroidvania elements. On the surface, Deep Dish Dungeon looks like a… sigh, friendslop game (I don't like the term either). It certainly doesn't seem to be as curated as Big Walk, but the game's titular dungeon is apparently "handcrafted," so I don't imagine it's necessarily an infinitely replayable type deal. Amongst all the dungeoneering you'll be doing, which includes fighting skeletons and solving puzzles, you'll also be able to craft some tools and, importantly to your survival, cook up meals.
