It turns out that being a one man criminal cleanup crew is hard work. I have spent a staggering amount of time virtually power washing filthy buildings in the past, which is why Crime Scene Cleaner piqued my interest as I scrolled through this year’s list of Next Fest demos. With a darker premise than…
2023’s best game about managing an underwater sushi restaurant is getting even better. The already ludicrously deep Dave the Diver got its first content update yesterday, bringing a surfeit of improvements to the undersea management sim and, crucially, introducing the spellbinding notion of the “Lobster Party”. The update arrived yesterday, and although Mintrocket had already…
Pickpocketing is back in Assassin’s Creed Mirage as the latest game returns to its stealthy roots. You’ll be spending a lot of time sneaking around ninth-century Baghdad, and there are plenty of pockets in need of emptying. If you keep your nerve and don’t draw any unwanted attention, you can make a decent living off…

Titled “Natural Six”, the campaign posted the Kickstarter trailer—shown above—to their YouTube channel earlier this week (thanks, Dicebreaker). Leading the group as its DM is Harry McEntire, who is the…
Starfield has now been in the wild for a month and, yep, turns out it’s a Bethesda game. I don’t know why anyone’s surprised really, and surely that’s what we were all secretly hoping for: where’s the joy in a vast, polished galaxy where everything works as intended? Far better to have a cosmos where…
As I fend off endless assaults from the mysterious Sea Peoples’, neighbouring factions happily cross into my borders to raid me for resources, and my rivals in the Royal Court seek to tarnish my name. I realise at this point, with my head in hands, that I have much to learn in Total War:…
I might have a personal soft spot for Baldur’s Gate 1, but it’s impossible to deny that Baldur’s Gate 2 is far more influential.

If you want to track down all Enigmas and their rewards in Assassin’s Creed Mirage then you’re in the right place. You’ll find Enigmas dotted around ninth-century Baghdad, and figuring out the solutions will reward you with cosmetic rewards such as dyes or talismans. Perfect if you’re a completist who just likes to collect everything….
