It’s wet and cold outside, so it’s the perfect day to snuggle up on the sofa and get cosy with Silent Hill for the first time. Nothing like some slow dread to warm you up.

Been working on this long read since GDC in March so very happy to get this published.

How do you find success in a live-service game? Grab a coffee and settle in!

How on earth do you find lasting, meaningful success with a live-service game? Developers answer the "billion dollar question"
"If you're going to go and create a live-service game competing with these other games, I think you're going to have to spend some money."

Completed Cronos last night. Typical survival horror stuff but really enjoyed its atmosphere and brutalist Polish design, even if it’s more Stranger Things mystery than terrifying.

FF Tactics done. Bit love/hate with this one. The writing, voice acting, and tone are sublime; the balancing is not. It’s either infuriating or trivial and often feels archaic. Very glad to have finally played it though.

Off work for two weeks after some planned surgery this morning. All went well but looking forward to lots of rest and gaming. Don’t expect any news from me on Eurogamer for a while!

Took a break from it and now finally finished Death Stranding 2…

I adore the style of FF Tactics but it’s my first time and honestly I’ve been struggling with it. The early hours are TOUGH and there’s a lot of job fiddling to do.

But I think I’m finally getting to grips with it, and I’m excited to experience this story at last!

Happy UK birthday to the PS1! Here's a piece I did last year on how the console helped Square Enix achieve its cinematic ambitions for Final Fantasy 7 - loved writing this one!
