Supergiant Games is a studio at the peak of its powers, and Hades II is a phenomenal improvement upon what was already one of the greatest indie games ever made.

Death Stranding 2 is a breathtaking game. A treatise on human nature, love and loss, and an experience I will not soon forget.

Should we have connected? The simple answer is that we have no choice.

Clair Obsur: Expedition 33 is a truly exceptional game on all fronts, and a new gold standard for RPGs - a phenomenal achievement for a studio's debut game

Atomfall has the dubious honour of being my first review for RadioTimes.com!

10 years ago this week, I started work on Tunic. The game wouldn't have been the success it was without LGBTQ+ folks, both devs and players.

So, I'm matching donations to Trans Lifeline. If you can spare $5 (or more!) reply with your donation and I'll X2 it. Thank you! 💕

Finally decided on my GOTY list for 2024:

1. Balatro
2. 1000xRESIST
3. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
4. Mouthwashing
5. Tactical Breach Wizards
6. Tekken 8
7. Indika
8. Nine Sols
9. Children of the Sun
10. Dragon's Dogma 2

The top 4 are basically interchangeable - all GOTY-worthy in my opinion
