Marathon review in progress (I am not reviewing it): I like the way this sucks

So far, Marathon is really good except for when it's not, which is a concerning amount of the time www.gamesradar.com/games/fps/ma...

have any of you read this I still think about it all the time It’s been long enough that so many people haven’t read what I consider foundational pieces of games criticism www.pcgamer.com/hotline-miam...

Witch Hat Atelier anime looks predictably brilliant. On the manga, from a 2025 roundup: www.gamesradar.com/comics/the-2...

Review-in-progress from me. So far, a fairly serviceable Metroidvania that has me longing to return to Blasphemous or other much more brutal and less tame genre adventures. Hoping it can grab me later on.

Genuinely one of the cleverest small details I've seen in a strategy game

louder for the people in the back

I've heard a lot of stories of devs having unrealistic ideas or features dropped on them by higher-ups who saw something cool, but I think this is the first time I've heard of someone doing it so much that their requests get their own personal Jira category. www.gamesradar.com/games/open-w...

To kick off, this lovely write-up of both game and my general take on indie publishing in @gamesradarplus.bsky.social www.gamesradar.com/games/roguel...

I love video games

you don't hate google enough

truly a before and after moment in history www.gamesradar.com/games/action...

Five hours into the Nioh 3 demo, I'm very impressed. The first game was fine, the second one was good, but this one has a shot at real greatness.

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch! www.ashparrish.com

Inverse's Gaming section is being shut down as the company "divests" from gaming content. I'm out of a job along with my wonderful co-writers. I've put my heart and soul into this job for four years. Gonna need to take time to process, but I'm now completely open for work - and boy do I need it.

This is a cool new role in video working across @gamesradarplus.bsky.social and @pcgamer.com in the UK. Please share if you think you know people who'd be interested. apply.workable.com/j/29B1BC6C85

Love 2 pause my Genshin Impact story quest to watch a statement from the Federal Reserve

WE GOT A GAMES RADAR ARTICLE?????? www.gamesradar.com/games/simula...

Very fun story here. I only saw this post this week, and immediately had to learn more.

Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.

Very sad. Only knew Patrick briefly through work but he seemed very nice and equally passionate.

My explanation for PvP being much more common in Arc Raiders trios than solos is very simple. Joy shared is joy doubled; worry shared is worry halved. Killing players becomes twice as fun, and fighting people becomes half as scary. www.gamesradar.com/games/third-...

AMM is at the top of our overall best comics of 2025, but everything here is worth reading:

I had an inkling after trying Marathon, and after 150 hours of Arc Raiders I've concluded that extraction shooters are ultimately just big bonfires. Point of the game is to go get more wood. Sometimes you stop to expand the firepit, but it's all about the burn.

Sharing this again because I have enjoyed chewing on what Foddy and Cuzzillo had to say about AI amidst *gestures broadly*

this interview is essential reading for SILENT HILL fans 🐜🦟🦗 i know i wrote it 🤧 but 😇😈 silent hill f producer motoi okamoto and scriptwriter ryukishi07 were just so honest with me about their vision for the franchise, and what they need from you... www.gamesradar.com/games/silent...

Thanks for the love on this piece. I'm glad the sickos found it

2025 was a helluva year. Published some of the best work I’ve ever done, but still going into 2026 on the job market. So check out my website and keep me in mind if you find yourself needing a writer/producer/editorial multi-hyphenate. Happy Holidays!!! www.mattkimwrites.com

Before I (try to) vanish from social media for the holidays, I wanted to re-share my favorite story from 2025. I'd wanted to write this developer roundtable for years, and dozens of great devs gave it tons of life. I hope and plan to do more things like it. www.gamesradar.com/games/game-d...

The highest praise a GOTY list can possibly receive is this comment: "Pretty decent list"

I lived, bitch

after years of resisting medication for my incapacitating OCD, i finally changed my life in 2024 🍪 i was facedown in the dirt before lexapro, fluvoxamine, gabapentin, and trazodone saved me that's why i love eating yummy pills with hinako in silent hill f yay 🥰 www.gamesradar.com/games/silent...

You will never be as oblivious as this man who came in My Bush in Arc Raiders (solo lobby, Blue Gate)

Three times this year I've spoken to various combinations of the Baby Steps team: Bennett Foddy, Gabe Cuzzillo, and Maxi Boch. In my last big interview of 2025, we chat in a post-Baby Steps world about the joy of doing things yourself and of people getting it. www.gamesradar.com/games/open-w...

One of my last and favorite interviews of the year. Ryuichi Nishizawa might be my hero? www.gamesradar.com/games/i-feel...

It's like one of my Japanese animes

And we've, of course, kicked things off with a bang. GamesRadar+ Game of the Year:

GamesRadar+ presents Year in Review: The Best of 2025! Our EOY coverage starts *right now* and you can follow along in this hub all month long.

This is absolutely heartbreaking news. Nick Thorpe @hkt3030.neocities.org our incredible features editor, sadly passed away yesterday. He was an incredible asset to the magazine and a compassionate and fantastic friend. My thoughts go out to his friends and family. I just can’t believe he’s gone

In what might be the strongest endorsement of the tension Arc Raiders creates, I spoke to a California police records dept to confirm a report of one player having officers show up at his motel room after a concerned guest heard him pleading on proximity chat. www.gamesradar.com/games/third-...
