I didn't review Yakuza Kiwami 3 but was lucky enough to get it early and already spent 25 hours beating the main story and boxing off side quests. Okinawa is gorgeous, and the life sim stuff is extremely moreish. However, Dark Ties feels dull and I'm not keen on recasting certain characters.

The only thing I feel needs to be added to the AI discussion.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Built and primed a Contemptor Dreadnought today. Big fan of this model

A dear friend made this incredible Emperor's Children dice tray for me

Me reading The Flight of the Eisenstein

This is fucking pathetic. We need investment in real public services, like health, housing and transport, but instead we have this brain-rotting horseshit

Got a win but it was not easy because I'm terrible

As someone who doesn't play MOBAs or many FPS games, Highguard is the most difficult game I've played in a long time

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Another Weekend, another session of painting wardollies

My whole life was leading to this moment

After two fun casual sessions of 2XKO I foolishly loaded it up on a Friday night and have been bodied three times in a row by players who move like they's had this game for years

Eager to see how this plays

such a lovely thing to think about

Started a new save in Fallout 4 for the first time in a decade and it's even more magical than it was back then

Painted up some new Custodian Wardens and a Shield-Captain to lead them

The new Caladius has got me dizzy with excitement

Inverse has decided to "divest from gaming content" so I'm out of a job again! This is almost certainly the end of my career in games media, and probably the end of my writing career. I'd love for that not to be the case, so I'd appreciate any leads but I'm honestly not hopeful for obvious reasons♥️

We're hiring over at Future for a video role across GamesRadar+ and PC Gamer. Come and work with me? apply.workable.com/futureplc/j/...

Update: Meta has shut down three game studios and laid off all employees. -Armature, the devs behind the VR port of Resident Evil 4 -Twisted Pixel, the studio that made Deadpool VR -Sanzaru, which developed Asgard's Wrath 1 and 2.

I love looking back over my 40K models and seeing how I've progressed. Here's four of my favourites

Hello, shout out to writers/journalists who are life sim RPG fans. Please let yourself be known ☺️ I’d to add you to our list to reach out to for something cool we have coming. Thank you 💫

I am once again reminding you all that the UK government introduced an Online Safety Act that is effectively a porn ban on most adult porn websites, but is dithering over banning a website that is actually creating child porn.

I've wanted to replay New Vegas for years but it crashed so much back on 360 that I'm convinced it'll do the same on other platforms now

Painted some Ultramarine Assault Terminators today and I'm very excited to use them in action game

I don't use Bluesky enough so here's some Warhammer 40K Custodes I painted this week

Fun fact: I filmed this with @pixxistyxx.bsky.social

#Dispatch devs have no interest in using AI for game development 🎮 "AI feels like a production solution, not a creative one. Maybe it's a creative one if you aren't creative" "Whatever we're building, it has to connect. It's got to be made by people. It's got to connect to people" (via GIBiz)

I'm very excited to play Yakuza Kiwami 3 but some of the reaction has me wanting to talk about the actual worst game in the franchise www.gamesradar.com/games/yakuza...

Haven't stopped thinking about Onimusha since playing it at Gamescom, even after Silksong dropped www.gamesradar.com/games/rpg/on...

Kirby Air Riders is a lot of fun and has me inching closer to getting a Switch 2 www.gamesradar.com/games/kirby/...

Gamescom 2025 was the best yet all thanks to the wonderful people who made my week so special

Dead Take is excellent and so is every performer in it, but Neil Newbon's Chase Lowry pulled me in exquisitely www.gamesradar.com/games/horror...

This is an attempt to remove trans people from public life and no other spin on it should be accepted.

I honestly can’t believe there are still any AI skeptics out there. This tech is obviously revolutionary

Date Everything is a 10/10 game

Today marks a year since I joined GamesRadar+ and I can't believe how fast the time's gone! Met incredible people and achieved amazing things together in that time, and I can't wait to see what comes next in this extraordinary chapter 🧡🖤

I've been having a lot of fun with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 but its rampant capitalism is a bigger issue now I'm all grown up www.gamesradar.com/games/sports...

Another miserable day for the games industry

DIY > AI

Elden Ring Nightreign got its hooks in me deep and I thought it would be my GOTY, but thanks to Rematch I'm now not so sure www.gamesradar.com/games/sports...

Interviewed the legend that is Shuhei Yoshida at Summer Game Fest and he was a delight with fascinating thoughts on VR: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv9m... Shout out to @monkeynuke.bsky.social for filming and @pixxistyxx.bsky.social for editing

After about 75 hours of Nightreign I'm both a huge fan and keen for more content to spice things up. A free roam mode would be a great start

I'm in awe

Seeing Resident Evil Requiem in action at Summer Game Fest had me on the edge of my seat and I'm already desperate to play it myself www.gamesradar.com/games/horror...
