Forza Horizon 6: Japan, but Western Corporate-safe Edition
Forza Horizon 6 is a beautiful but soulless imitation of Japan. A corporate-safe, HR-approved microslop game masquerading as car culture. Do not pay £60.

Sega is running its company like a 2010s corporation and wondering why its games aren't selling
Sega is wondering why their highly reviewed games are not selling. Between £60 AA Persona reskins, Denuvo delusions, and burning almost $800 million on a dead Angry Birds fad, here is exactly why their out-of-touch boardroom greed is finally failing.

Ninja Gaiden 4: Competently stylish, yet unfinished and low budget
Ninja Gaiden 4 review: PlatinumGames delivers phenomenal combat, but a strict AA budget, ugly cyberpunk designs, and a terrible new protagonist ruin this £60 release.

Manufacturing the Safe Bet: The Real Cost of Expedition 33

JRPG Tourists and the Whitewashing of a Genre: The Expedition 33 Problem
Watching the media froth over Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is embarrassing. They are treating a derivative cover band like it saved the genre. This is the gentrification of the JRPG for critics who are too ashamed to play actual Japanese games. From the Shadow Hearts thefts to the blatant NieR cosplay, here is why this award sweep is pure industry whitewashing and why I am not drinking the Kool-Aid.

MHWilds: Too little, too late
Is the latest Monster Hunter Wilds update enough to save the game? The numbers from the Steam player count say no. Despite a new endgame grind and a 20% off sale in August 2025, Capcom's response to the disastrous PC performance and shallow gameplay is too little, too late.

Wow, Capcom is so generous with MHWilds!
Ever wondered what it takes for a multi-billion dollar company like Capcom to finally notice their flagship game is a complete dumpster fire? It's not the abysmal PC performance, the "Overwhelmingly Negative" Steam reviews, or even a biblical 98% drop in players for Monster Hunter Wilds. No, it took a quarterly sales report so catastrophic it couldn't be ignored. Now, after months of silence, they're suddenly rushing out an "early" update and pretending it's a generous gift for the fans. Don't buy the PR spin. Lets take a look into the hard data, the cynical marketing, and the blatant gaslighting behind Capcom's bungled response to the Monster Hunter Wilds backlash.

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon review
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is a buggy, janky, and deeply flawed open-world RPG. It's also the most fun I've had with a game this year so far and an absolute must-play for anyone who misses the ambitious, broken magic of games like Oblivion.
