Just finished The Last Flight! Unfortunately, the day after I started reading this was when I got to the point in Veilguard that basically spoils the entire thing. The pacing is very slow, but I think I would have enjoyed this, especially the ending, a lot more if I'd read it beforehand

Everyone who's into the more chill side of gaming should tune in for the upcoming Wholesome Direct! GameObserver will be bringing you coverage of many of the titles as they show up on the stream! Stay tuned! @wholesomegames.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ-T...

Gonna be carrying on my playthrough of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin at around 8.30pm! m.twitch.tv/quietplayerp... #hitman

That's a wrap on Veilguard and my DA series playthrough I... actually liked Veilguard as much as Inquisition but for different reasons, and really, the final act saved it, whereas I was pretty tired of Inquisition by the end. I think my favourite was a tie between DAO and DA2

She's back!

The Masked Empire was incredible. A prequel which I didn't realise I needed so badly. This is a must-read for any Dragon Age fan or anyone planning to play Inquisition. It gave so much insight into Orlesian culture and politics (which didn't really interest me in the game)

Hello friends. It has come to my attention that the site GameLuster is using my name to publish content and AI generated articles. I want to reiterate that I no longer work there, nor does anyone in the "Team" page. Any articles in mine or their names are being falsely attributed.

About my past writing, and the current situation at GameLuster:

GameLuster, where I used to work as Network Editor-in-Chief, has been taken over by new owners who are sharing AI slop articles in the name of former team members and list me as Senior Staff. I do not work there. I will never endorse AI writing, and AI content farms have no place in our industry.

Hey all, as you know I presently write for @gameobserver.bsky.social , and previously was at GameLuster.com . This is a PSA about some disturbing activity from the new owners of our old site.

As some of you may know, I was previously the Editor-in-Chief of GameLuster before it was acquired by new site owners. Unfortunately I have an update on that below:

Jess cautiously recommends cyberpunk 2.5D narrative platformer, Replaced, by Sad Cat Studios and Thunderful Publishing. Read our full review here: gameobserver.com/replaced-rev... #Replaced

This position is really ideal if you're looking to do some video game journalism on the side of a day job like I do, or you're looking to take your first step into the industry.

Just finished Asunder! This started out super slow but was such a great tie-in for Inquisition that I regret not reading it beforehand It sets up the mage VS Templar situation in Inquisition really well. Also a pretty significant event for Origins fans happens off screen in this...

Mystery sleuths, gather around! Kate has compiled a case of 15 detective games to look out for in 2026: gameobserver.com/15-detective...
