Hi there! We’re back again with another update about our review progress, though you’re probably already able to predict where things stand. To be clear: you may have seen some Borderlands 4 reviews going up around this period, but today we won’t be publishing one on our site—nor will we have it ready at the … Read more
16th May Hi everyone, welcome back to our usual spot where we chat about the games we’ve been getting into. This week, Victoria nearly nodded off during an important, child-led gaming episode; Bertie sounds a little like an annoyed older relative; Chris has more to say about Mixtape; and Connor is playing a game that … Read more
By the end of Subnautica 2’s prologue, unease has already taken hold—even before I set foot on its brand-new ocean world, Proteus. I’m not particularly thalassophobic, but from the very beginning, Subnautica 2—my first time in developer Unknown Worlds’ hugely popular survival series—is enough to unsettle almost anyone. After I wash up in a waterlogged, … Read more

This week, Bertie is back with the Greek gods; Victoria has run into “plenty of” defeats; Connor is on a stubborn search for bones; and Chris has been communicating in riddles. … Read more
Over the last few months, I’ve found myself growing fond of cryptic crosswords.

Still, Resident Evil hasn’t only reached the three-decade mark—it has also kept momentum, building even stronger over time (aside from a small slip around the sixth entry). The series has never been afraid to reinvent itself or respond to shifting tastes, whether that’s … Read more
2nd May Hello, and welcome back to our regular feature where we talk about the games we’ve been getting into. This week, Victoria is completely smitten with Replaced—at least on-screen; Bertie is pretending he’s been in Paris (though, yes, he really has been in Paris!); Connor can’t stop thinking about catching an exceptionally rare fish; … Read more

With more people around, the pressure often eases, and the dangers can start to feel less intense. That pattern shows up in survival games too, where teaming up lets players construct … Read more
25th April Hi there, and welcome back to our usual catch-up, where we talk about a few of the games we’ve been getting into.

It’s finally happened. After three long years of speculation—fuelled by reports, leaks, a handful of official hints, and then last month’s confirmation that everything was real—Ubisoft’s remake of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag has now been revealed. It’s called Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, which we already expected thanks to a PEGI leak from last year, … Read more
