Been working on this long read since GDC in March so very happy to get this published. How do you find success in a live-service game? Grab a coffee and settle in! www.eurogamer.net/how-on-earth...

Completed Cronos last night. Typical survival horror stuff but really enjoyed its atmosphere and brutalist Polish design, even if it’s more Stranger Things mystery than terrifying.

FF Tactics done. Bit love/hate with this one. The writing, voice acting, and tone are sublime; the balancing is not. It’s either infuriating or trivial and often feels archaic. Very glad to have finally played it though.

Off work for two weeks after some planned surgery this morning. All went well but looking forward to lots of rest and gaming. Don’t expect any news from me on Eurogamer for a while!

Shouldn't Sonic be teaching Lando a thing or two? 🤪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1jO...

Huge thanks to @ludvigforssell.bsky.social and Jenny Plant for chatting with me about the music of Death Stranding ahead of the concert tour. Part 1: Forssell on DS2's ending, Low Roar, and working with @hideokojimaen.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp www.eurogamer.net/i-call-it-th...

I chatted recently with Sandfall's Guillaume Broche about the future of Clair Obscur, and why Expedition 33 doesn't have any puzzles...

Took a break from it and now finally finished Death Stranding 2…

I adore the style of FF Tactics but it’s my first time and honestly I’ve been struggling with it. The early hours are TOUGH and there’s a lot of job fiddling to do. But I think I’m finally getting to grips with it, and I’m excited to experience this story at last!

Happy UK birthday to the PS1! Here's a piece I did last year on how the console helped Square Enix achieve its cinematic ambitions for Final Fantasy 7 - loved writing this one! www.eurogamer.net/how-the-play...

Me judging the Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds cast…

Years later, finally done a second playthrough. What a game.

Managed a dinosaur park and managed to kill a load of them ACCIDENTALLY. Also met this little cutie! Thanks for having @biggusbennus.bsky.social and me @frontierdev.bsky.social!!

I did not have Samus Akira-sliding in Metroid Prime 4 on my bingo card today....

Queer developers speak out as adult games remain in limbo following payment processor showdown at Steam and itch.io www.eurogamer.net/queer-develo...

Miyazaki: “I love trolling Souls players with poison swamps.” Team Cherry: “How about we add Sen’s Fortress and evil dogs into the mix too?” FUMING.

Silksong? Silksong. (I'm a few hours in, for anyone who needs a spoiler warning) 🔴LIVE🔴 www.twitch.tv/ed_nights

I had a bit of a rant... www.eurogamer.net/the-games-in...

Yeah that’s me done for the day…

Racing through Bloodborne for the platinum trophy, just a nice casual Monday stream! 🔴LIVE🔴 www.twitch.tv/ed_nights

I really wanted to like Hell is Us more than I did. It ticks so many boxes for me and I adore its general vibe and atmosphere, but it's let down by shallow combat and some tedious, divisive design choices.

Lost Soul Aside has some lovely costumes, until they glitch out in the middle of a boss fight 😬

Massive thank you also to @samanthabeart.bsky.social, who chatted about becoming Baldur's Gate 3's barbarian Karlach. "What's interesting about you is your interpretation. It's not you trying to please people, it's not you trying to anticipate what people want" www.eurogamer.net/becoming-kar...

Ok the new Shinobi is stunning!! Also enjoyed this cheeky Resi 4 reference.

Weapons (2025).

Five minutes into this and it’s incredible.

Sadly not at Gamescom this year, but I’ll be watching you all from afar…

Happy birthday to me. 38 is gonna be a good year I hope.

Today I turn 38, so I'm having a birthday Bananza starting DK! 🔴LIVE🔴 www.twitch.tv/ed_nights

Following up my China report with a piece on South Korea and its booming, global success. Big thanks to @zhugeex.com for the comments!

Playing the demo for Hell is Us and it’s SO goddam weird with creepy sound design and bizarre otherworldly mystery and I’m SO here for it.

I initially found Wuchang to be very derivative, but I'm glad I've stuck with it long enough to change my mind.

Almost at the final area of Wuchang, can I finish it tonight? 🔴LIVE🔴 www.twitch.tv/ed_nights

Full of typically annoying Square-isms and knock-off Zelda tropes. But will I play the full thing? Absolutely.

More Wuchang! I'm actually really loving this game and its combat, let's see what weird and wonderful bosses we find... 🔴LIVE🔴 www.twitch.tv/ed_nights

Time for some boss battling in Wuchang, apparently the next one is super hard, so come watch me fail miserably! 🔴LIVE🔴 www.twitch.tv/ed_nights

I did some digging on what the UK’s new Online Safety Act means for the games industry:
