REVIEW: Yakuza: Like a Dragon Punch-ups, pigeon attacks, and the best side stories in gaming. When Yakuza: Like a Dragon was first announced, it raised eyebrows. The series’ signature real-time combat was being swapped out for turn-based RPG mechanics, and long-time lead Kazuma Kiryu was stepping…

Just played the upcoming Siegecaster — a tense, skill-heavy siege defence game from @halfhumangames.bsky.social that hooks you fast and doesn’t let go. Build, blast, and survive the horde. My full preview is up now! @sliwinski.bsky.social stillgotgame.org/2025/05/01/o...

Listening to this week’s Game Scoop and still surprised how hard the Switch 2 preorder was in the US. Here in Australia, Nintendo did exactly what @daemzero.bsky.social suggested. They sent me an email beforehand, I ordered, they processed. Apparently coming launch day too

Recently had the opportunity to go hands-on with #AncestralHarvest from @1011theory.bsky.social. You can read my initial thoughts below. One to look out for. stillgotgame.org/2025/04/30/o...

Fantastic episode of @pewpewbang.bsky.social this week on the Game Boy Advance. I could honestly listen to @kelslewin.bsky.social talk about anything gaming all day. It's like a crash course in gaming history every time. I learn so much!

REVIEW: Sniper Elite: Resistance stillgotgame.org/2025/04/27/r...

Only a couple hours into @expedition33.bsky.social and I’m mesmerised. It wears its influences proudly, but blends them into something truly striking. Can’t stop thinking about it How did such a small team at Sandfall Interactive pull this off??
