One of the best retro handhelds around is finally available for purchase again, but more expensive than ever. Resident Evil Requiem is neck-and-neck with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for the top spot in the Metacritic user-score leaderboard. And an Ark modder gets called out for reusing assets and tells fans to deal with it. It’s the latest edition of Morning Checkpoint, Kotaku‘s daily roundup of gaming news, rumors, and culture. I thought this comment perfectly summed up why video games in particular are such a nostalgia trap.
