Who needs Silent Hill? The ‘anxiety horror’ game I’m most looking forward to is this freakish, grotesque thing about who you let stay at your house in the apocalypse

I’m a trusting soul. When some poor unfortunate raps on my door after the end of the world, I don’t have it in me not to let them in.

There’s always a silver lining to be found, even when everything seems to go sideways.

Borderlands 4 is here, and Borderlands 4 is very demanding. This we know, after a launch last week mired in optimisation complaints, stuttering woes, and crashes. In response, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has been busy batting off critique regarding the game’s performance on his X account over the weekend—although his comments don’t appear to have…
