Here's my review for Ambrosia Sky: Act One. Not a lot of coverage for this one (only three reviews on Metacritic, and it doesn't even have a page on OpenCritic), but it's definitely worth checking out.

Ambrosia Sky: Act One Review - Deep Space Burial
Ambrosia Sky: Act One combines its sci-fi setting with intergalactic cleaning to tell a poignant and contemplative story about dying alone in deep space.

You might remember Luis Rubiales as the creep who was touching and kissing Spanish and English players after the 2023 Women's World Cup final. Today, while promoting a book about how he believes he's actually the victim and that it was all a conspiracy, his uncle threw a load of eggs at him. Enjoy.

Here's my review for Football Manager 26. Finally delivers on the tactical overhaul I've been hoping for for years, but the new UI is bad and there are too many missing features.

Football Manager 26 Review - Back To The Drawing Board
A new tactical interface and improved match engine are title-worthy, but a frustrating UI, missing features, and numerous bugs drag Football Manager 26 into a relegation battle.

I guess I need to play this game because why are your objectives "tidy up and do laundry" when the house is filled with evil bullshit?

Kayvon Thibodeaux rips the ball away as Jalen Hurts makes a tush push reach but, whoops, the refs rule his forward progress was stopped and the Eagles get the first down

Skattebo's foot is pointing the wrong way because the Giants are cursed.

The tush push is so bullshit you can rip the ball out of Hurts' hand and it's not a fumble.

Here's my review for Ninja Gaiden 4. A few issues, including some repetitiveness during Ryu's section, but otherwise a great character action game that makes me miss when they were more common.

Aiding a genocide wasn't enough for the UK government, they also had to kick up a fuss in support of violent hooligans. And for what? Even their own club doesn't want them going. But that won't stop the gaslighting.

I guess Keir Starmer will be calling the Israeli police antisemitic now?
Israeli Police announce they have canceled a derby match between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Tel Aviv that was set to take place tonight in the city’s Bloomfield Stadium, when fans began to riot.

My review-in-progress for Battlefield 6 has now been updated with my final verdict. After spending more time with the maps on fully populated servers, I soured on them quite a bit. They're average at best, which does drag down what is otherwise an excellent BF.

Battlefield 6 plays it safe but marks a return to form for the long-running series, delivering chaotic, large-scale multiplayer that's as familiar as it is uproariously fun
