This Week in Videogames - TWIV Covering the important things happening in the world of videogames. News, reviews, and insights without ads or filler content.

If anyone feels like supporting an independent Australian videogame website with award-winning work that strictly has no advertising, no sponsored content, no corporate ownership, does not let publishers pay for travel, and discloses every code we get and image we use:

For those of you outside of Melbourne and Australia in the games industry. Parallels is one of the most positive and optomistic events for games, I come away from it every year thinking "huh video games are pretty good"

Parasensor will briefly be in Birmingham! 🎉
We're so honoured to appear alongside some of the best upcoming games that Australia has to offer.

If you're attending, be sure to leave us some feedback on our early vertical slice build 📝
