Is The Finals any good? We take a look
I can’t remember having this much fun with a multiplayer shooter since Overwatch – not initially at least. The Finals feels so immediate in the impact it has. You load it up, you’re thrust into a three-player team and then into an arena with other teams, then you’re legging it through levels that are being…

Mercenary class unveiled for Path of Exile 2, and it plays like shooter
The Mercenary class has been unveiled for Path of Exile 2, and notably, it brings a whole new style of play to the game: shooter gameplay. It doesn’t mean the game has suddenly gone first-person, but it does mean optional – and fluidly interchangeable – WASD movement is coming to the series for the first…

American Arcadia review – a charming but simplistic spin on the Truman Show
American Arcadia isn’t as memorable as Call of the Sea, and it has its frustrations, but overall this is a well presented adventure-platform game with an almost irresistible personality. I worried a bit about American Arcadia because of how much of a departure it seemed to be from Call of the Sea, Out of the…

The British Library’s new fantasy exhibition opened my eyes to how important fantasy is
This might sound strange but I always worry about seeing things I love in the spotlight, because I worry they won’t be taken seriously and all the feelings I have for them will be undermined. I don’t like exposing a vulnerable side of myself to potential ridicule, basically. I’ve had enough of that from the…

How do you end a game?
