To a T
A new game from Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi, Developer uvula and publisher Annapurna Interactive, to a T takes players on a unique, narrative adventure that tackles a peculiar concept.

Split Fiction is, at its heart, a celebration about how wonderful, imaginative and downright clever videogames can be when they choose to embrace what they are – an art form that thrives on interactivity, creativity, and boundless possibility.

Whether you’ll enjoy MechWarrior 5: Clans depends very much on your own personal tastes. If you’re an existing BattleTech or MechWarrior fan, I think you’ll adore this latest entry in the franchise.

In my 20 or so hours exploring, I found a successful medley of genres with enjoyable combat and a variety of gameplay mechanics resulting in something uniquely memorable.
The plot thickens as a family yearning for power ‘battle’ over the Idol, and there’s a neat twist to the proceedings that I won’t spoil here. But I fear that many will struggle with the sheer patience required to play on controller, and while it all works just as well...
Every one of the fights and combat sequences I played through felt like a boss-level face off in some way. It always felt like a true survive-or-die moment – all or nothing. It’s the only time in my entire gaming memory, that I can remember being so in the moment...
