You may remember Wyrdsong from Gamescom Opening Night Live, where it was announced three years ago as a trippy new open-world RPG from veterans of Skyrim, Fallout and The Outer Worlds. Set against the backdrop of a warped medieval Portugal, it was intended to explore the mythological origins of the Knights Templar, letting players create…
A silent guardian, a watchful protector… A Nintendo Switch. We’re all aware of just how successful the Switch has been since its launch in 2017. The latest figures put it at a total of 156.59 million units sold worldwide, which means that had Sony not managed to find some extra PS2 sales down the back…
I have long suffered from RPG FOMO. It’s a debilitating condition that causes me to question every choice I make in roleplaying games. My selected spells, skills, and methods may “work” in the moment, but then I’ll hear about some incredible solution another player found that leaves me feeling inadequate. I’ve tried to curb this…

Accessorise up. Well, the Switch 2 pre-order circus came to town, and it was predictably calamitous. It feels like the same story every time a console launches these days, with demand vastly outstripping supply and the frenzy to secure a unit at launch generating joy and disappointment in equal measure. We hope those of you…

Getting Game Freaky. We hope you’re ready for another clash of covers, because it’s time for this week’s Box Art Brawl! Last time, thanks to a certain Super Mario Galaxy Movie appearance, we took a look at Star Fox: Assault for the GameCube. While the grey Japanese cover put up a good fight, it was…
