And so my last day at Eurogamer arrives! Worked out I've written around 3700 articles over the past four years, so thought I'd highlight a few of my favourites. www.eurogamer.net/a-fond-farew...

This is SO good 😭

So stoked the Phantom Blade Zero reviews are so positive. Been excited for this for years!

Belmont’s Curse finished with the good ending. It’s a brilliant metroidvania but it’s missing some classic Castlevania iconography I think. It’s also too inconsistent, be it the whip targeting or the difficulty. I do love how puzzley it is though. As fun as it is frustrating.

Is there anything nerdier than hundreds of fans singing na na na along to Sonic’s Green Hill Zone? And I was one of them. Incredible.

It might be basic with shallow repetitive combat, but I still enjoyed Wolverine more than I expected - mainly because the story between these two has so much heart and is so well performed. Still I wish it had been an X-Men game playing as multiple characters to give more variety.

Brilliant Fire Emblem review from @dompepin.bsky.social has me even more hyped for this, though this line terrifies me with so many other great games to play through:

Ok I didn’t know Onimusha would be this FUNNY?! Two mins in and I am CACKLING.

Absolutely devoured the demo for Final Fantasy Resonance. Sure its mobile origins are clear and the story is typical fantasy stuff. But the battles are great, it’s full of references, and when the fanfare kicks in any negatives are completely forgiven. Also it’s incredibly generous for a demo!!

⭐New Episode⭐ We survived Gamescom 2026! We chat about the games we played, the biggest Opening Night Live announcements, Fable, Alien Isolation 2, and our highlights from Cologne. Plus, a massive German pickle. With @biggusbennus.bsky.social and @ednights.bsky.social! ⬇️LINKS⬇️

First gamescom as a PR is done! May not have played as many games, but still had a brilliant time on the METRO 2039 booth, caught up with industry pals, and even met Leon Kennedy himself Nick Apostolides. Now I’m exhausted.

My Duskbloods experience: I don’t think this is for me. I don’t think this is for me. I don’t think this is for me. OMFG I WON. Close game. Done.

I turn 39 today and I’m spending my birthday morning in the gym. Wtf has become of me 😭 (Aching back and legs, that’s what. Officially old)

It’s my birthday next week so @biggusbennus.bsky.social treated me to a Danish baking workshop. Please enjoy my buns.

Well this has absolutely made by day! #Duskbloods

So I've played about two hours of Beast of Reincarnation and I don't think there's an original thought in the entire thing?! On paper it's very much for me but I'm just.......bored?

"Bringing taste back into the room. Metrics are a tool, not a decision-maker, said the group, which recommended reinvesting in editorial judgment – people whose job is to recognise great work and advocate for it." It's almost like games journalism is good, actually.

Been meaning to play Chrono Cross for years and now finished it. Brilliant battle system and some clever ideas, but it all feels too complex for the PS1. Too many companions. Nonsense story. Not a patch on Chrono Trigger 🙃

Happy London Pride! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Thanks for having me @playstation.com! #ad #invite

I watched this trailer SO many times 🥲

Started Bond last night and loving it so far. It’s flashy and sexy and the training montage is incredible and it’s so youthful and cool. But mainly, where the hell can I buy this jacket please?

Sad to say I’m not enjoying Mina the Hollower as much as I’d hoped or others have. The thing with Souls games is they’re tough but fair with precise controls. But combine that trickiness with old school controls and sensibilities…it’s just a recipe in frustration for me.
