I pay more as a single person in an unmetered flat than a family of four would in a metered house. It's obscene that venture cap ghouls can buy a utility and we have to pay for repairs, just so they can 'protect their investment' and walk off with millions. Cheers, Maggie T. 🖕

I always knew living in Poland for so many years was preparing me for something bigger.

Not content with starving the poorest kids with their social policies, Labour now want to irreparably damage their futures and mental health by giving them access to harmful chatbots - no doubt to boost the coffers of the big tech lobby. This will widen the disadvantage gap, not narrow it.

I can't believe this is what tips me into watching it. 🤣

NICK POPE. Justice served.

Whoops forgot to say I reviewed Code Vein 2. It’s a good time! I got weirdly attached to the characters and, especially, my wife Josée www.thegamer.com/code-vein-2-...

And yet our dear leader and his cronies are taking notepads, pens, and burner phones to China because of a fear of spying... 🤦‍♂️

Oh look, it's that time again - another government 'friend' needs millions in bogus contracts.

Hey, Community Managers! Remember, you're all awesome, and deserve way more credit and love than you usually get. I miss my CM days, some of the happiest times of my life, both personally and professionally.

I played four hours of Resident Evil Requiem and oh boy is it shaping up to be a banger. A real best of both worlds situation that combines the anxiety inducing horror of 7 with the balls-to-the-wall action of recent remakes. It strikes an ideal balance. www.thegamer.com/resident-evi...

GET IN PATRIOTS!

This is the nerviest I've been watching the Patriots in many. many years.

Warframe for Switch 2? Bye bye, free time.

Everything about this.

I've never got round to playing the original Fables, but this new one looks fantastic. Judging by the tone, and if Playground sticks the landing, I'd love them to take on Discworld in a similar manner.

Really liking the theme and look of this.

Finally picked up a Switch 2 Pro Controller. Probably the best-feeling controller I've ever held.

Ubisoft: "...the Group is strengthening its ability to innovate..." Also Ubisoft: We're closing studios and only focusing on our big franchises. I feel for those soon to be affected by colossal layoffs.

This would have immediately lifted XV to the position of "best Final Fantasy ever"

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties Preview - Kiryu has a Daddy Rank. - Mine singing Baka Mitai is everything I didn't know I needed. No other notes. (Well, other than my actual preview piece: www.thegamer.com/yakuza-kiwam...)

Why does my insomnia always seem to kick in on a Thursday instead of a Friday? 🫣

My Nintendo Year in Review just tells me that I really need to finish games instead of buying more. It also tells me that I think the Switch 2 is going to become my main system from here on out. Just more convenient to use, and I've barely touched my PS5 since I got the S2.

Why on earth did I decide to start optimising fan curves and all that tech nonsense on my laptop at 11pm? ><

NGL, tempted to get one of these and fully disconnect from any app that lends itself to doomscrolling. clicks.tech/en/communica...

I'll always point to No Man's Sky's litany of modular options as the beacon studios should look to. www.thegamer.com/no-mans-sky-...

Hmm...

Happy New Year, all. Here's hoping 2026 is about more than just surviving.

Been following this ever since I bumped into some of the devs at the coffee box on the seafront outside my flat. Looks exactly my kind of jam. 😍

Never have I seen such brazen, one-sided officiating. Truly disgusting.

Earliest memories - Pac-Man and Space Invaders on the Atari 2600. Best childhood memories of going to the caravan every weekend with my grandad and kicking about the arcade while he watched the cabaret - Street Fighter II, Tecmo World Cup, The NewZealand Story, NBA Jam TE, Neo Turf Masters.

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch - then and now.

A different kind of list to the usual RPG-heavy diet I consume, these games have helped me get through a rather difficult year. www.thegamer.com/game-of-the-...

Following yesterday's drama surrounding Larian's use of Gen AI, here's a follow-up interview piece with Swen about how the studio is using the techology alongside machine learning. www.thegamer.com/swen-vincke-...

Here's my big interview piece with Larian Studios' founder Swen Vincke on the development of Divinity, learning from Baldur's Gate 3, potential companions, and so much more 👀 Chuffed with this one so please share! #Divinity @larianstudios.com www.thegamer.com/larian-studi...

Upon reflection, the best bit of The Game Awards was Flute Guy playing a different flute every time the camera panned to him. 😅

Ending the reveals with a live service game, yikes.

Werner Herzog demands that you all play Warframe.

FUCK YEAH NO MAN'S SKY!

I love how excited Ben Starr was for Jennifer English (very deservedly) winning that award.

Didn't manage to nap, covid brain in full swing, somehow got to stay awake long enough to make database entries for every single game shown. I am very much looking forward to passing out for two whole days after this. Good luck to everyone covering The Game Trailers 2025!

My top three in order would have been Firewatch, No Man's Sky, World of Final Fantasy. Now I'd swap No Man's Sky for Firewatch, but same top three.

It says something that being ill is the only time I seem to get more than five hours sleep in a night. 😬

Not a chance you'd catch me paying £60 for Yet Another Rerelease Propped Up By Community Content.

In a race completely without incident, what are the chances one of a certain three cars happens to crash?

Oh dear. Have Red Bull given the stewards an excuse to manipulate the result again?

Why is Octopath Traveler 0 £39.99 on Steam, but £49.99 on Switch 2? I'd rather get it on Switch 2, but that markup is obscene.

My review is up for Octopath Traveler 0! It's got some blemishes, but hot damn, it's got heart. Easily the best story in the series, and unequivocally the boldest. www.thegamer.com/octopath-tra...

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is almost two decades in the making and it's arguably worth the wait? #MetroidPrime4 A faithful evolution of the series with a great world and strong characters that carried me all the way through to the end. Here's my full review: www.thegamer.com/metroid-prim...

After I was floored by Star Wars Outlaws on Nintendo Switch 2 it's no surprise that Assassin's Creed Shadows also delivers. I've only spent a couple of hours with it so far but it's quite an achievement how the full experience works so well here. www.thegamer.com/assassins-cr...

Cosmic Invasion is yet another great beat ‘em up from the masters at Tribute, although Shredder’s Revenge still stands as my all-time favourite. My review: www.thegamer.com/marvel-cosmi...
