If zipping through portals into the Fae Realm while wielding your gravity-defying umbrella sounds like your cup of tea, then Nightingale may well be the survival game for you. As yet another online co-op game complete with crafting and base-building elements, Nightingale has a lot to contend with. But from what we’ve seen so far,…
“I made sure to preserve what I believed to be valuable”. Shiren the Wanderer is one of the longest-running roguelike series in the world. Debuting back in 1995 as the second entry in the Mystery Dungeon series, Mystery Dungeon 2: Shiren the Wanderer introduced the world to the young boy who would explore many procedurally-generated…
Persona 3 is a strange beast. All its best parts are scattered across a bunch of different versions: the epilogue is only available on the PS2 FES version, while the alternate female protagonist (FeMC) and all her new social links were restricted to the PSP-only Portable version of the game (so too were party members…
A normal day goes like this: I walk into my room after work. Pass the radio, turn on lofi beats to work to, sit down, open my desktop, check my bills, open the news: “Find out why more inflation is good for you and the economy.” I don’t really know what I expect from the…

Standing ovation or slow clap? We still have a little way to go before Nintendo lifts the curtain on Princess Peach: Showtime! on 22nd March, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t have a little peak behind it to see how things are shaping up. The way that we can do this is by checking…
The Steam Deck is good at many things, but a wonderful typing experience it is not. Either you’re furiously flipping away at those thumbsticks like some kind of—shock horror—console gamer, or you’re jabbing your fingers and thumbs at the touchscreen like—even bigger shock horror—a mobile gamer.
