Resident Evil Requiem Review (PS5 Pro): A sensational synthesis of action and dread | Postmode Read our Resident Evil: Requiem review to see how Capcom has gelled two schools of survival horror thought into a glorious blockbuster that runs beautifully on PS5 Pro.

I'll admit I was sceptical about the Grace & Leon gameplay split, but Requiem works incredibly well in motion, and blends creeping dread with intense action & some major storytelling swings.

Mewgenics Review (PC): A morbid masterclass worth the 13-year wait Our Mewgenics review breaks down the chaotic structure of this sensational & grotesque turn-based tactics game and whether Edmund McMillen's long-awaited roguelike project lives up to the hype.

Another easy Indie GOTY contender has landed. We are eating good this year, folks... and it's only Feb!

Mewgenics: First 37 Minutes — The Alley Walkthrough & Radical Rat Boss [No Commentary, PC] YouTube video by Postmode

Here's the first half an hour (and a bit) of gameplay if you want to just look at it too. I made an error in the tutorial that haunted me in the edit suite — but the game rightly scolded me for it so fair enough.

Arknights: Endfield Review - IGN A sci-fi gacha game with a factory automation twist.

My final review of Arknights: Endfield is live on @ign.com!

me in april

My pro tip for those who want tickets! Even if the date says 'sold out,' if you can get to the screen where it says 'Ace Trainer's Pass' & 'Trainer's Pass', just sit there and keep refreshing, even if they say sold out. Don't let it kick you back to the calendar, or you won't be able to come back.

One of the worst website experiences ever, but I finally managed to get some tickets to Pokepark Kanto!

‘In the game, we designed what we call mountain intimidation. It's a system where you can hear the rock depending on where you are looking at it from.’ says Cairn’s creative director of the game’s des... We chatted with The Game Bakers' Creative Director, Emeric Thoa, about scaling the indie game mountain and what the studio hopes players find at the summit.

For @techradar.com I spoke to the lovely @emericthoa.bsky.social about the making of Cairn! 🏔️

I played a little bit of Furi or Haven, but neither of the studio's past games stuck with me - this one was immediate. It's a one for the Death Stranding-likers, for sure.

Cairn is a staggeringly beautiful game that is more than willing to interrogate what drives a person to want to break and redefine the bounds of reality.
