I’m not usually one to get invested in Early Access games. I’d much rather just experience the finished product, when I can experience the full extent of the vision of the developers. However, Spiders’ GreedFall had a particularly powerful effect on me (I actually ended up buying it three times over), and so I felt an urge to drop into…
Of all the major sporting events, the Tour de France must be one of the most challenging concepts to adapt to a video game. After all, you’re looking at courses that are hundreds of kilometres long, and take hours to cycle across, with the scenery changing up and down mountains,…
Read MoreGollum offends me. It’s not the bugs, and thankfully the launch version of the game is less buggy than the review build that vexed other critics (though it still has bugs). It’s also not because of the less-than-AAA presentation that some have been complaining about. It looks good for a…
Read MoreI have no idea when Lord of the Rings: Gollum will be launched, but the release of a story trailer for the stealth action game makes me think that date is pretty relatively close. Yes, it’s yet another adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. But it’s a bit…

Read MoreNacon and Spiders have announced a sequel to GreedFall, GreedFall 2 – The Dying World. It’s set in the same world as the original, and features much of the same intent, because GreedFall was a most excellent game and one of the smarter RPGs that has been released in recent…
Read MoreBig Bad Wolf, the developer behind 2018’s The Council, was the right developer to tackle Vampire: The Masquerade. The execution of Swansong isn’t perfect, but the effort to recreate the pen-and-paper experience is spot-on, and so, the team at Big Bad Wolf have achieved something that’s increasingly rare in video…
