[SGF 2026] FIRST LOOK – Forza with a real story? That’s “Clutch”
Part of what really grabbed me about Horizon 6, aside from it being in Japan, was that there was a story. Sure, it was basic, but it was enough to hook me. So when I started receiving invites to a hands-off preview of Maverick Games’ debut title, I was a little reserved but interested. First of all, I hate hands-off previews.

As soon as I was pitched to preview an “unannounced game from the creators of N+,” I was in. I didn’t have to watch a trailer, even though I ended up seeing it at Day of the Devs. The Newgrounds OG was definitely peak when it came to flash precision platforming, and now seeing it go multiplayer is absolutely nuts, and I’m glad I made time for it at the show floor.

[SGF 2026] HANDS-ON – “Super Yooka-Laylee Kart” is a little too different for its own good right now
Super Yooka-Laylee Kart was easily one of the standouts from this year’s Day of the Devs presentation after Summer Game Fest, but after we spent some time with it, it’s hard to gauge whether this game will appeal to anybody but Yooka-Laylee’s biggest fans.
