We’ve already seen some incredible indies this year, with the likes of Olli Olli World, Weird West, and Tunic – to name a few. If 2021 and the first three months of 2022 has proved anything, it’s that the world of indie games continues to deliver creative, diverse experiences that …

It’s the thud of his boots, I think. They don’t hit the ground as much as pound into it, reverberating all the way up through Spartan 117’s legs, waist, torso, arms, and finally into my controller. The symbolism isn’t too difficult to decipher, is it? It means he’s weighty and …

I spent the week between Christmas and New Year – you know, that one week of the year when you can eat chocolate for breakfast judgment-free and no-one ever seems to know what day of the week it is – in a Destiny 2 dungeon. It was a dark, dank …
