I finally have my Silksong opinion. Love it, just slightly less than Hollow Knight. One bit: "Two damage attacks felt special in Hollow Knight. A two-damage boss was a name taker. A clock cleaner. An elite leg breaker sent by Team Cherry to ruin your shit." www.gamesradar.com/games/action...

I have once again harvested some Good Words from the mind of Gabe Cuzzillo "If the game is made of teeth, and you take out the teeth, I don't know, a lot of the time it would feel like it was changing the meaning of the work deeply." www.gamesradar.com/games/im-def...

Lots of people: talking about the difficulty Hollow Knight: Silksong Not enough people: talking about The Slab in Hollow Knight: Silksong www.gamesradar.com/games/action...

I spoke to the father of Zeke, a baby who passed away last year and received a huge player tribute in Old School RuneScape this week. This story is so sad, and so sweet, and SO sad, and SO sweet, and it's what MMOs are really about. www.gamesradar.com/games/mmo/wh...

Me two hours ago: Yeah I think I would give Silksong 4.5/5, exceptional game but some minor annoyances hurt the- Me after The Thing Happens: 6/5 best game GOTY game of the decade game of the eon

it's like putting furniture together. getting vocally mad at it is part of the process

Absolutely perfect headline. No notes.

i'm tired, boss

I have overcome the single worst example of bad checkpointing in Silksong, nothing can stop me now

I wonder if Team Cherry is at all surprised by the response to Silksong's vicious challenge. Are they and their testers just god gamers? I'm having fun and making good progress but oof. It's rough out here. www.gamesradar.com/games/action...

Walking around with your map out is the Silksong equivalent of texting and driving

alright fine

Mandatory pre-Silksong Hollow Knight replay done. 108% this time over 106% a whopping seven years ago. Still don't like the Pantheon very much, but this is still probably my favorite game. Onward to Sept 4.

"I speak with some experience when I say that this sounds like someone reporting, hey, we asked the play testers if getting their hands shoved in a filing cabinet drawer impacted their experience, and they all said yes." www.gamesradar.com/games/action...

Enjoying Sword of the Sea a lot so far. Love a good shmoovin game.

i know i'm always like "women!!!" but i really mean it this time 🐲 while everyone else has been preoccupied with silksong and gta 6, millions of women have been playing love and deepspace, the only otome game to win best mobile game at gamescom... ever 🐉 www.gamesradar.com/platforms/mo...

Just a spectacular anticlimax

I too am ruminating on Silksong www.gamesradar.com/games/platfo...

As someone who is endlessly interested in Soulslikes, roguelikes, card games, and Metroidvanias, it feels like I've hit some kind of sicko lottery that makes me immune to all current genre fatigue

if you can believe it i didn't even have anything to do with this getting published, it was all @woodwould.bsky.social

The creator of Astlibra Revision spent ~15 years plugging away at the game, and very specifically said: "Finding joy in the process is everything. It is both the goal and the daily achievement. I believe it is important to never forget that." www.gamesradar.com/meet-the-jap...

After selling 10 million copies in a month, Capcom says Monster Hunter Wilds sales are now "soft" at less than 500k in the entire quarter. It was the studio's ninth best-selling game for the quarter, losing to years-old games and barely beating the previous MH. www.gamesradar.com/games/monste...

Are the experts in the room with us right now or is that the ghosts talking

PCG told us about it! aftermath.site/pc-gamer-gam...

i like to think of it as a bottomless mimosas situation

we simply are not going to talk about the amount of time and effort that went into this screenshot

Absolutely brutal T10 clear in Monster Train 2 tonight. The big Hydra lad applies 20 Corruption on hit, so by the end of the fight the boss was taking 1040 a turn in DoT. Tier 8 took me several tries, but T9 and T10 I got first try. At last I am free to grind T6 for tribe levels in peace.

If you specialize in pixel art or know someone who does I've love to chat briefly! DMs open or [email protected]

"More than anything, pricing these games based on bloated development costs wrongly implies that those costs are unavoidable and gamers are just gonna have to cover them if they want games like this. I like big games too, but I don't want games like this!" www.gamesradar.com/games/good-j...

Another day in the Slack trenches with @woodwould.bsky.social

this is your new god www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...

Hey I AM writing Edge of Fate guides, but not on my website … Because I’ve been commissioned to write some for @gamesradarplus.bsky.social! There are already a few on there, and you can find links to them in the roundup below, which I’ll update as more get published!

The anime adaptation for Secrets of the Silent Witch is "I want to tell my friends and neighbors about it" good

There are far more disabled people pretending to be well than there are pretending to be sick. Being on disability is not fun. You’re forced into legislated poverty. Treated like a “useless eater”. Shunned, abandoned and constantly questioned. It’s dehumanizing 🧵

Immersion is getting so absorbed in Monster Train 2 that you take a break after a clean run to read something and wonder how much mana each word would cost

GamesRadar+, your number one source of stapler news I asked, and a GameStop rep told me "no employees were harmed" after the great New York Switch 2 Stapling that made headlines last month www.gamesradar.com/games/a-frea...

My hot take is that the loot for these dungeons has been sub-par for weeks and this lootapalooza is only marginally above what should be the baseline for an activity with purely random rolls + shinies for another layer of RNG. Sometimes I'm convinced it is as easy as giving out 2 or 3x more guns.

America: bad Grill: good

"It felt like starting a new game of Civilization and discovering nuclear power on turn two ... Did I resist this obviously unfair stat boost, putting these Pictos on the shelf to ripen until the time was right? Obviously the fuck not." www.gamesradar.com/games/jrpg/i...

whenever the news team gets overwhelmed with Big Important Coverage™ it is sometimes on me as the managing editor to step in to help write which is all to say: Twink Link is being freed

"Demos, previews, and Humble Bundles have artificially inflated my library," I cry, as convincing as a wolf pleading innocence with slivers of sheep hanging from its teeth. "I play and investigate a ton of indie games for my job," I insist, clicking wishlist www.gamesradar.com/games/i-have...

GamesRadar+ is attending SDCC this year! More specifically, I am attending SDCC this year! For the first time! Wanna talk? Got something cool to show/share? Hit me up: rollin.bishop [at] futurenet [dot] com

With the new Mario Kart World update making it harder to play 3-lap races online, I'm left scratching my head a little bit.

Having a moan about the Switch 2 launch "What I want is a meaty, colorful, single-player adventure that feels like the kind of thing only Nintendo could make. Games like that are the reason I buy Nintendo consoles, not the third-worst version of Cyberpunk." www.gamesradar.com/games/switch...

amtrak’s marketing team gets it

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is 10! To celebrate, I spoke to the wonderful Paweł Sasko and Philipp Weber about the game's creation, legacy, and the importance of telling hard stories. One of my all-time favourite games, so doubly pleased with how this turned out! www.gamesradar.com/games/the-wi...

Folks it is hard to remember the last time I saw a game's community roast an executive like this www.gamesradar.com/games/mmo/ga...
