Lurking behind a dated exterior is a limited but sophisticated RPG with a unique setting and some memorable new ideas. I think it counts for a lot when a role-playing game comes along and it’s different. There are so many games that try to do what other games do, they end up struggling to stand…

Of all the games people on TikTok could get excited about, they’ve decided it’s one about shipping containers – one about surviving at sea on a pile of shipping containers for 30 days. It’s called 30 Days on Ship, appropriately and somewhat bluntly, and it isn’t out yet, but there’s a trailer being shared that…

Supporters, I’ll be recording a brand new episode of behind-the-scenes podcast Inside Eurogamer this week – you know, that podcast that’s exclusively for you – and part of it will be given to answering your questions, so what would you like to know?

I ask because I just enabled a CRT filter in Skald: Against the Black Priory and I squealed with joy to see it. Distortedly curved edges: phwoar – who knew?
