Full disclosure here: I’ve had some of the worst weeks of my career at my day job, and as a result my mental health is shockingly unwell. This meant that The Alters came at both the worst and the best time.

I’m firmly in camp FromSoftware, but I’ve had an interesting journey in getting there. I’ve always appreciated the likes of Dark Souls and Bloodborne — as my latter review can attest to — but there was a time when the very gameplay loop that’s now formed the core of the Soulslike genre wasn’t my cup...

Update [23 April 2025]: Hell has frozen over (for some), as Xbox mainstay Forza Horizon 5 is now playable on PS5 through early access ahead of a larger 29 April release. The PS5 version of Horizon 5 includes all DLC and the new Forza Realms update, and is perfect for PS5 players who’ve...

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle should officially be considered the sixth instalment in the fabled franchise. I have no idea if LucasFilm is pondering bringing back 82-year-old Harrison Ford to mirror his on-screen dad’s pledge to never say never again. But I hope they don’t, because the Great Circle...

South of Midnight has been on my radar since it was first announced back in 2023. Leaning heavily into Southern folklore, developer Compulsion Games’ latest also carried with it a distinct, frame-jumping visual style. It looked, sounded, and seemed to act different to most.

Rebellion’s known for its long-running Sniper Elite franchise, but Atomfall is something entirely different. Equal parts survival shooter, mystery, and sci-fi RPG, it sets out to something unique and, for the most part, accomplishes its goal.

Forgive me in advance, for I couldn’t resist: the original Citizen Sleeper was indeed a sleeper hit, a narrative choose-your-own-adventure journey that I picked up simply because it happened to be on Xbox Game Pass. I fell in love almost instantly, enraptured in its sci-fi, ever so dystopian world.

It’s an understatement to say that 2025 has been rough… and brace yourselves, because we’re still in January. As people, for some inexplicable reason, bother to debate whether or not Elon Musk threw up two Nazi salutes at Trump’s inauguration (he did), Sniper Elite Resistance has come out at a perfect...

Updated review [15 January 2025]: Another system, another version of a classic. 2010’s Donkey Kong Country Returns first debuted on the Wii, before 2013’s Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D spiced things up on the 3DS. Now, 2025 offers another chance to play — and with less difficulty, even compared to the 3DS version — thanks...

I love a good gamification of fitness, and still to this day mourn the loss of Xbox Fitness. I’m also nearly in tears reading as 31-year-old me laments the challenges of ageing and potential weight gains that could some as a result; honey, this 42-year-old pandemic survivor would like a word or...
