Star Wars Zero company is the definitive clone wars game. It elevates the turn based tactics genre whilst delivering an authentic, fresh Star Wars journey. Biggest compliment I can give is as soon as I rolled credits, I immediately started it again. My review youtu.be/ozt6n9PqDKo

Recently started an insta page to talk all things videogames without the constant hyperbole and try and bring some more nuance to discussions if anyone is interested. Been cool to see many people excited for wolverine and other games www.instagram.com/matteffectga...

While I wait for my latest absolute Batman issues to arrive it’s time to do some catch up. Absolute DC reading

Now Destiny 2 has received its final update, I wanted to lay tribute to the franchise and explain why it’s so special to me. Put a lot into this one but I feel like I captured it well. Thank you Bungie, thank you Destiny Goodbye Destiny 2 youtu.be/eUBZYDFgCs0

I couldn’t give 2 shits about console wars but yesterday it dawned on me that for the first time since the Xbox 360 era. I am more excited for Xbox’s slate of releases than I am for PlayStations. Good. I want competition.

Top 5 games across all the summer games fest showcases Gears E-day Control resonant Exodus Wolverine Star Wars Zero company (Honourable mentions to state of Decay 3, fable and clockwork revolution) SO MANY GOOD GAMES

Amazing how Dire Marsch at night in marathon is an amazing map compared to the daytime variant. Bungie put in the work to make it such a cool map. Really loving exploring it so far

I’m a broken record at this point but remedy are so so talented. So eager to take big swings and risks, everytime I think I’ve seen enough of control resonant, a new trailer gets me even more excited

Couple of hours into 007 first light and this game is doing for bond what Arkham Asylum did for Batman. It’s fantastic and such a natural fit for IO interactive

An incredible run with some of my most memorable moments playing video games and fireteam members who became friends and I met halfway across the world. A special game that probably won’t be replicated ever again. Thanks for the memories Bungie and Destiny 2 🫶🏻

I do think it’s become extremely hard to become a variety creator in the gaming space. It’s a different era now of specialising in certain genres, streaming just one game. Add on top of that the discourse that plagues every new release and it’s demotivating for sure.

How I feel everyday logging on to new videogame discourse

Saros true ending complete. Few complaints with its new permanent progression system but there is no denying housemarque have crafted another extraordinary sci fi shooter. An absolute pleasure to play a game of this high quality and my favourite game of the year so far.

What an incredible way to celebrate May 4th with Maul Shadow Legend finale. Outstanding animation, up there with the best Star Wars of the Disney era. Fantastic

I swear man, Saros better be up for nomination when it comes to art direction this year. These are the non spoilers kinda shots too

It’s an actual pleasure to play a game as good as Saros and I’m still early on

Saros is excellent. Housemarque are so so talented

Those Saros reviews are no surprise to me. Returnal is still my favourite PlayStation studios title this generation and this looks even better. Can’t wait for next week to play

After watching the entire 6 seasons of the expanse last year and being a huge mass effect fan, I was hyped to jump into the expanse Osiris reborn beta. Here’s some early thoughts The Early Verdict On The Expanse: Osiris Reborn youtu.be/92vQ81f41Z8

I reckon I could’ve gave you 100 guesses and you’d still never guess this is about a LEGO BATMAN GAME

"Sometimes I ask myself if Batman is just the suit or the man inside. Time to find out. "

My god the animation in episode 6 of Maul Shadow Lord is special. Feels like a privilege to be watching it

I’ve played and finished SadCat’s replaced. Batman Arkham combat inspired combat in a gorgeous cyberpunk 2.5d world. A game that I enjoyed but an experience that I loved. youtu.be/EkYd9Cg9zrY?...

Credits rolled on Replaced. A thoroughly enjoyable game. Arkhamlite combat in a 2.5d setting that tells an interesting story about an AI trapped in a humans body. The platforming is frustrating but in exchange I was presented with mesmerising landscapes. Fantastic world building too. Recommend

They weren’t lying about mass effect being ahead of its time ey

Maul Shadow Lord off to a flyer. ANY excuse to spend time on coruscant I will eat up but this animation is absolutely exceptional. Feels tonally different from other star wars animation and Jesus Christ do I love Sam Witwer.

Fair enough sucker punch, you did it again with ghost of yotei legends.

Shill this shill that I don’t care, the release of a new Bungie game has always been a marquee release for me in videogames since I became obsessed with halo in my childhood. Really excited for Marathon, hope the launch goes smooth, good luck to the team🤞🏻

I don't talk about it publicly often but content creation/youtube can feel like such a head f*ck. The push to go niche vs cover what you enjoy. Same style content vs varied, thumbnails + catchy titles to compete, excessive negativity and hatred in comments. It can feel too much

Jesus Christ I am swimming in games I’m excited for this month. Marathon Ghost of yotei legends John carpenters toxic commando Crimson desert Return of marvel heroes omega Excited to make a LOT of content. Let’s go

What am I seeing man. It can’t just be that simple. Every time I log into these apps man it’s just bad news or controversy. PlayStation are rich with IP to remake at bluepoint or even put their own spin on it. I just don’t get it man. How is this the only option

Rotta The Hutt has abs, what’s your excuse ?

There was only ever one man who could truly unite the Star Wars fanbase. The king has returned

Remember, there’s no good videogames anymore 🤓 fuck offfff mate. Banger state of play

First Mass Effect down as I replay the series. Such an incredible franchise. The first is so unique, carries a sense of wonder and exploration as you traverse with the mako. The introductions to characters and howchoices + moments pay off in later games. Truly special. Onto 2

Jumped back into Helldivers 2 for a bit and instantly reminded just how fun this game is. Still would like a sample rework in terms of progression but so good to come back

Tbh I’m just exhausted by the constant negative discourse surrounding video games. Player counts, politics, fake outrage, clip farming. It’s not just highguard it’s every release. “Videogames aren’t as good anymore” they are. Discourse has sucked the fun out of them

Finished season 3 of the expanse and oh my god. It is giving me the same feeling of Mass Effect just in TV form. What a brilliant show

Star. Wars.

Fable is going to remind everyone once again that British humour is indeed the best in the world.

It’s been a remarkable few years in the video game industry in showcasing just how much horrific leadership wastes so much talent and time. Stop letting people who don’t know shit about games make the big decisions around them

Honestly just so disheartening to continuously put out content that strikes a balance of excitement/critique about games. Meanwhile all someone has to do is go “errr The marathon collectors edition doesn’t have big enough tits for me.” Buried under a load of crap

Cannot wait man. Telling you this could be really special given the Bungie spin. Also the art is fucking incredible

Make game that flops, laid off. Make game that’s just ok, laid off. Make game that surpasses internal expectations and is a great Batman Arkham game. Laid off It Just Keeps Getting Worse For DC Games And Batman Arkham youtu.be/IDhIrLhKPMA

Camouflaj gutted by Meta so no Arkham shadow 2, Netflix looking at WB games as "worthless",genuinely losing all hope for the future of DC and EVEN Batman videogames. A truly generational fumble that stems from poor leadership that has wasted the time of many talented studios and people. Ctrl C+CtrlV

Did a quick replay of Returnal this time on PC before Saros later this year and it's still one of my favourite games of the generation. The use of the dualsense, the environments and man that 4th boss fight still IS SICK. Only took me 5 runs total I was locked in

2026 is looking fantastic for gaming but particularly for Marvel games with Insomniac's Wolverine, Tokon Fighting Souls and 1943 Rise Of Hydra in the mix. Let's preview 2026 for marvel games youtu.be/BtQtUTriGGM

Just imagine what Massive are going to do with the division 3.

As someone who has only finished fallout new vegas, I really am loving the fallout show. It really helps that it’s a story set in that universe than a 1:1 of a game. Love how it feels like a game with main and side quests in itself

I’m not sure how much more nonsense videogame discourse I can take. Player counts, politics, agendas, price points, ridiculous comparisons but never the actual quality of the game itself. Just genuinely exhausting. Time to start posting here more again
