Shut-ins of the world, youll have to wait a bit longer for your ultimate wish-fulfillment video game. Date Everything!, the cheekily bizarre romantic sim from Team17 and Sassy Chap Games, is no longer arriving on October 24, as was initially announced. On Friday, the team pushed back the games release date to Valentines Day 2025. On a game design level, Date Everything! appears to be a simple dating simulator with dialogue branches and voiced characters. What sets it apart is its delightfully absurd premise: You can date all your household objects, thanks to magical glasses known as the Dateviator. Your dateable objects each have a distinct personality and branching storylines. Your romantic possibilities include a laundry hamper (the fiery Harper), a vacuum cleaner (the hunky Hoove) and your overwhelming (and shirtless) sense of existential dread who would prefer just to be called Doug. As unappealing as that bunch sounds for a romantic fling, it may still beat todays microtransaction-riddled dating apps. Team17 / Sassy Chap Games Depending on your dialog branch choices, each humanized object can become a Love, Friend or Hate. The games press release promised that each outcome influences a critical path tying it all together, so choose wisely between the lamp and the towel who dresses like Liberace. Date Everything! arrives on February 14, 2025, on Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.

We're getting into the colder months of the year (at least in the northern hemisphere). If you haven't done so already, it'll soon be time to switch on the heating. Rather than make manual adjustments to the thermostat throughout the day, why not let a smart version take care of the heavy lifting? As luck would have it, Google's Nest Thermostat is back on sale. The device can be yours for $85. That's $45 off the regular price but some way off the record low of $61 it dropped to a year ago. This is a more affordable version of the Nest Learning Thermostat and should do the trick for many people. When you leave your home, the Energy Star-certified Nest Thermostat can automatically adjust the temperature to prevent wasting energy on heating or cooling. The Nest app allows you to tweak the settings remotely. This can come in especially handy if you're going to arrive home at a different time than usual. You can delay a temperature change or make it kick in earlier so your home's at the optimal level of warmth while minimizing energy waste. The thermostat can be controlled via Google Assistant and other Matter-certified assistants such as Siri and Alexa. There's also a Savings Finder feature. This offers suggestions on how to tweak your temperature schedule to keep your costs lower.

Its time to dust off a pair of pistols, as Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered releases for PS4 and PS5 on February 14, 2025. What better way to spend the next Valentines Day by foraging around caverns for loot? These remasters boast updated visuals, though you can toggle to the old-school graphics to soak in the nostalgia. The same goes for controls. There are modern controls inspired by the newer entries in the series, but those retro inputs are just a toggle away. The collection includes more than 150 trophies, which feature nods to iconic moments from the series. The photo mode from Tomb Raider I-III Remastered has also returned, allowing players to share favorite moments and the beauty of the remastered environments with the community. Its worth noting that the three games included in this collection were never referred to as numbered sequels. The remaster features Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider: Chronicles and Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos are behind these remasters, so this is the real deal. This is the team that made the aforementioned Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, which was well-reviewed. It sure looks like we are in the midst of a Croft-ian renaissance. The animated Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft just premiered on Netflix and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who starred in the latest Indiana Jones film, is writing a live-action Lara Croft show for Prime Video.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/playstation/tomb-raider-iv-vi-remastered-hits-the-ps4-and-ps5-on-february-14-152949568.html?src=rss
