Henry's come to see us! Right from the get-go, you'll notice how the developers have taken everything we loved about the first game and dialled it up. The world is even more breathtaking, with stunning landscapes and intricately detailed towns that make exploring an absolute joy.

The music deserves its own spotlight. It's both inspired and immersive, perfectly complementing the mood of each moment and amplifying every emotional beat. It feels like you're stepping into a living, breathing world with a soundtrack that matches the game's epic scale.

Combat is another highlight. It's more fluid and satisfying than ever, retaining the realistic, skill-based mechanics that most of us adored but refining them for an even smoother experience. Whether you're clashing swords in the heat of battle or stealthily taking down foes, each encounter is thrilling and rewarding.

Play this game, hone your skills and become the medieval knight of legends.

Death Stranding is an extraordinary game that redefines the gaming landscape by focusing on connection and the bonds we forge with others. As players navigate a desolate, post-apocalyptic world, their mission is to bridge the gaps between isolated communities, bringing a sense of unity and hope to a fractured society. The game ingeniously incorporates multiplayer elements, allowing players to leave behind helpful tools and messages for others, fostering a genuine sense of camaraderie and shared experience. This innovative approach to cooperative gameplay highlights the profound beauty of human connection and interdependence, making Death Stranding a poignant reflection on the resilience and significance of forming bonds, even in the bleakest of worlds. In the end, we're never really stranded.

Dragon Age: Veilguard marks a significant departure from the series' renowned gritty tone. Unlike its predecessors, which thrived on morally complex narratives and dark atmospheres, Veilguard leans towards a lighter, almost whimsical feel. This shift sacrifices the emotional depth and intensity fans cherished in earlier games like Origins and Inquisition.

A notable absence is the series' signature power fantasy. Veilguard's combat and character progression seem muted, lacking the impact and satisfaction of previous titles. Players find themselves yearning for the thrill of transformation into a legendary hero, a thrill that remains elusive throughout the game.

This instalment sets a different course for Dragon Age, aiming for a new audience but risking alienation of long-time fans. The change feels more jarring than innovative, overshadowing the soul of the series. Veilguard ultimately offers a fresh yet unsatisfying journey, feeling more like a detour than a continuation of the beloved saga.

Hades II is a stellar sequel that not only builds upon the foundation of its predecessor but also elevates every facet of the game. It succeeds in delivering an experience that feels both familiar and refreshingly new, cementing its place as a masterpiece in gaming that pays homage to the enduring legends of Greek mythology.

Shocked that this pile of garbage won the Most Innovative Gameplay Award. It's a rinse and repeat of all Bethesda games, but with even more loading screens.

A return to the good old days after I thought we'd left them behind.

Put a lot of time into this on the Game Pass before purchasing it on Steam with the Immortal update.

Game is in a much better state now and feels more fun to play. Main campaign still feels like a rush, but a lot of fun can be had with Immortals!

Amazing gameplay, voice acting and original soundtrack. This game will keep you coming back for more and more punishment. Because there is no escape. Right?

Amazing visuals, great depth to the animals in your zoo, and a real labour of love. You'll be able to pour hours of time into this game, and build the zoo of your dreams!

Wonderfully rich and deeply strategic game. If you own the first one the factions carry over, allowing you to continue your adventures in Warhammer II.
