I interviewed the Diablo 4 devs about the Warlock class and the pitch is basically: “what if the solution to demons… was more demons”. My full interview! ⋆˚꩜｡ www.thegamer.com/diablo-4-war...

A couple of weeks ago, I had the honor of interviewing Nick Apostolides (Leon) and Angela Sant’Albano (Grace). Two very cool humans and two great interviews. Give them a read! www.thegamer.com/resident-evi... www.thegamer.com/resident-evi...

Demon Tides is one of my favourite platformers in recent memory, and one with some surprisingly grand ambitions that it absolutely lives up to - roll on Bubsy 4D! www.thegamer.com/demon-tides-...

Just finished Disco Elysium for the first time. Legitimately at a loss with what to play next.

Dedicating this one to all the chuds on Reddit who said I was talking shit www.thegamer.com/final-fantas...

First review of the year and kicking things off very strongly with the brilliant Nioh 3, which I’ve not put down over the past two weeks. My review: www.thegamer.com/nioh-3-review/

Playing through Bloodborne for the second time in my life and for the first time in five years and what a different experience it is. My first playthrough was my first time playing a souls game and I basically speed ran it because I was terrified.

Direct flight from Chicago to London was cancelled last night. This was the replacement flight they tried to put us on.

My last big one for the year is the second part of my interview with Alix Wilton Regan, aka Lara Croft. A nice way to round out 2025, and now my break begins. Two days of Christmas festivities with family, then off to Chicago to celebrate my wonderful friend @peterspittech.bsky.social’s wedding.

3 years ago I started work on a SIGNALIS video essay. It ended up feature length, and subsequently sat on my hard drive as a rough cut. Until today. After numerous passes, I've finally hit publish on The Emotional Horror of SIGNALIS. Hell can be a place of healing.

I’m gonna do something I very rarely do and advocate for myself openly: This year I’ve done some pretty wild stuff, spoken to some amazing people, and broken a few big stories. My role has become less focused on writing guff (although there will still be a little, gotta keep the lights on)

Hellllooo I had a lovely chat with Devora Wilde bout "mean women" and Lae'zel being gay (and Solasta 2 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33!) www.thegamer.com/devora-wilde...

Games media: a rising tide lifts all ships. Let’s source each other properly, yeah? If we all do that, we’ll get some level of trust from the hellscape that is google, and it will help to weed out the shitty scraper sites (I hope).

Me and Alix Wilton Regan have been planning to chat Perfect Dark for a while now. We finally managed that yesterday. Sounds like, as you might expect, it wasn’t handled too well. www.thegamer.com/joanna-dark-...

Legit one of the stinkiest TGA fits I’ve seen. Why is the suit so shiny? Why is it three sizes too big?

Geoff. It’s 3:30am here in the UK. I don’t need to be hearing Miss Piggy singing.

I love Jennifer English man. So well deserved.

LONG OVERDUE AND WELL DESERVED

Here it is! Absolute labour of love putting this together. From day one, Cyberpunk 2077 has been a story about mortality, and what it means to live on after you die. It was a pleasure to speak with Paweł Sasko and Cherami Leigh about this story. www.thegamer.com/the-making-o...

🚨 I reviewed KIRBY AIR RIDERS for Kotaku 🚨 Noise is not chaos! Quantity is not depth! Don't believe the siren song of the cult fanbase of the original! Once you get past all that, Air Riders is an extremely fun game that's kinda hard to play for more than an hour at a time!

Good podcast. You should check it out.

Fun little story after speaking to Abigail Thorn. Baldur’s Gate 3’s Nocturne was pitched to her as a “sexy demon” and was only changed as she was in the booth. www.thegamer.com/baldurs-gate...

Skate’s early access launch pulled in over 20M players, a massive moment for the series. Steam numbers have dipped since, but the team says they’re focused on rebuilding trust and shaping the game fans want. I talked with the devs about what’s next. www.thegamer.com/skate-early-...

I spent a large portion of my day crunching numbers, finding out just how much Nintendo is neglecting marketing Metroid Prime 4, and oh boy. www.thegamer.com/nintendo-rea...

Forgot to share this last week but I wrote a little piece about Jennifer English's win at the Golden Joysticks and the sheer importance of queer joy in the lives of LGBTQ+ people: www.thegamer.com/clair-obscur...

Doing my second playthrough of Dispatch with my fiance and it’s great, but boy do the hacking sections really mess up the pacing when you’re playing with somebody else.

My album Defeater is streaming everywhere. This record is the sound of 39 minutes of rainfall while you sit inside with the windows open. FFO: Modern Baseball, The Wonder Years, boygenius, Future Teens, Spanish Love Songs.

Interesting comments in here from Horizon Steel Frontier’s executive producer. Suggests that Sony is the reason it’s not coming to PlayStation as NCSoft would have “no reason” not to bring it to the platform. www.thegamer.com/seems-like-s...

This is great, but the lack of Monster Train 2 is astonishing.

🚨new piece on kotaku... from me!🚨 I wrote about the hollow feeling of a story that mistakes movement for change. Hades II Isn’t a Story—It’s Maintenance:

I've launched a new interview series on women in esports! My first piece is with G2 Hel's Caltys, but I've already spoken to several more participants. If anyone feels they have a unique perspective worth sharing, then feel free to email me. www.thegamer.com/women-esport...

Saw Hanabie yesterday, who were, quite frankly, excellent.

Announcing that I’ve delayed my bedtime to play some more Pokemon

Tell me you didn’t read the 1,600 word interview with 11 members of the cast without telling me you didn’t read the 1,600 word interview with 11 members of the cast.

This is a fantastic project with an amazing cast! Sam has been working hard on this for a bit. So so great to see women and non-binary people championed in an industry that can often feel like it is not made for us at all

Here’s the reason I spoke to so many video game actors. I attended the launch of TIVA, an independently run audiobook series with all of your favourite voice actors, aiming to fight back against AI and corporations, featuring an all female/non-binary cast. www.thegamer.com/tiva-intervi...

I also spoke to Lae’zel actor Devora Wilde who told me how Baldur’s Gate 3 made her realise games could tell “proper stories”, and how it’s one of the best things she’s ever acted in. www.thegamer.com/devora-wilde...

Important piece this and also jelly you got to chat to her 🐣

Last week, I had the honour of attending an event with many of gaming's top actors. You'll find out what the event was for in the near future, and I'll have another larger report from it, but I also used it as an opportunity to discuss the many injustices video game actors still face.
