Honoured to be kicking of Eurogamer's new monthly feature series with this investigation into representation in character creators. This has been months in the making, I'm relieved and proud that it's finally out!

Probs one of the best Romeo and Juliets I’ve seen.
So hushed and secretive and intense. So London. The cold cinematography is like found footage, the industrial score is filthy. Tom Holland and Francesca Amewudah-Rivers have incredible chemistry.

Have locked my account because the Persona fans are out in full force 🙃
I have mixed feelings about Persona 4 Golden. I love the mechanics of Persona games, but the representation here relies on disappointingly dated stereotypes. It hasn't aged well.

It doesn't matter if you're a "big" or "small" streamer, if you're able to take part in

to push the movement then do. Equally, if you have other ways to spread the message, do that too.
