I cried no less than SEVEN times while playing
#Hellblade2
🥹 what a truly life changing experience. Here’s why I think it’s a 10/10 any day of the week 🖤
Man, the fact that some people cleared Hellblade 2 in just 5 hours is wild to me 🤯 Thought I was keeping up the pace at ~9.5hrs (including breaks and note-taking). I know we had a tight turnaround to work with but damn I am IMPRESSED 😂🖤
Guess who passed her probation at
@GamesRadar
?! 🎉 Incredibly grateful for the opportunity to keep writing about the stuff I love, all while learning from such an inspiring team of likeminded games fiends. Best start to the long weekend ever!
It’s also important to flag that if review scores are looking a bit squiffy, that’s part of what makes this such an important game. It means different things to different people bc we all see things differently, and that is okay! Play it for yourself pls 😎🩷
Surprise!! I spent 28 hours in Tokyo 2 weeks ago (total 26 hours in an airplane there and back) for a 7-hour Silent Hill 2 preview event. That’s a lot of numbers, and here’s a lot of words.
Day two of deleting Instagram as a form of self care and I have finally scraped together enough of an attention span to start Cyberpunk for the first time 🥳 what the fuck is a choomba
Finding the easiest, cheesiest ways around Baldur’s Gate 3 bosses is my vice.
1) cast Fear on Balthazar
2) he can’t attack or summon his undead army, runs to the edge of a cliff
3) sneak my lil monk into the battlefield and punch him twice, sending him flying into the abyss 🥰

Very cinematic, moreso than the first game. Clean UI, relies a lot on experimentation and leaning into it from a sensory perspective to spot clues to help you navigate it. If you liked the first game, you’ll love it. It’s def gonna be one of those divisive ones in that sense!
Feeling a little crappy about my stutter this evening, so just know if it seems to get worse in your presence, it’s either because I’ve been put on the spot, I really care about what you think of me, or I am trying to bamboozle the cryptid hiding behind you! Thank u for reading❤️
@skarsghardy
I actually love the more terse, clipped “when” right after that angrier delivery. Kind of cool seeing multiple takes, and I like the idea that if Larian keeps doing this, we could end up seeing many different facets of some already iconic lines. But yeah RIP sass all the same 😔
Just woke up from a nap to see a fully grown man (?) screaming about pronoun selection in Starfield. Touching grass is not enough, we must plant the grass directly on top of his angry little bald head so he becomes one with it 🙏
So excited to finally present my writeup of the deeply thoughtful, delightfully macabre chat I had with the wonderful
@thoughtrise
earlier this month. PSA:
@darkwebSTREAMER
is NOT the horror game your mama warned you about (it's way fuckin cooler). Thank u so much, Chantal!!🖤🥰
Another reason the Silent Hill 2 preview event was wonderful? I got to meet these absolutely lovely writers/people! ☺️💕
It’s always so so cool to see women from different outlets and countries out here lovin’ horror games and killing it in this industry
@Arron_TK
It’s so great that these people were able to play the whole game within 10 mins of it coming out in order to share such valuable opinions with us 🖤 so blessed
I played BOTW for 14 hours straight on the plane home yesterday and now I seem to have forgotten how to hold my head up. I know I'm 30 next year but this feels fucking unnecessary.
Embarrassing time to be British, honestly. Racists never cease to amaze with the sheer abyssal lows they collectively sink to time after time again. If I thought they could pick their knuckles off the floor long enough to apply for a job I’d suggest that but alas 🤷♀️

I feel so bad for my switch, only getting airtime when I am trapped in some sort of vehicle for upwards of 3 hours. Otherwise, I forget it even exists. Thank u for your service, fair weather friend.
Thank you so much to

(aka

I will not play resident evil 2 remake again just because it is on game pass I will not play resident evil 2 remake again just because it is on game pass I will not play resident evil 2 remake again just because it is on game pass I will not play resident evil 2 remake again ju-
Ok I know I’m a sucker for an asymmetrical horror game but everything I’m seeing about Texas Chainsaw Massacre blows all others straight out the water. Varied objectives for both sides, proximity-based voice comms, great UI, and lotsa blood. 😍 gimme
Having a full on Sims moment in Sainsburys right now. Where is the handwash. I cannot find it. I am standing in the middle of the aisle typing this. Waybo zabnar can whoever is controlling me pls direct me to the hand wash 🤧 sul sul
I’m a total badass (a 28 year old games journo who collects horror figurines) that got mortally wounded (with a repetitive strain injury) after battling her enemies with her bare hands (held the Switch remotes awkwardly while playing TOTK) for three weeks straight. 🤘
Just carried the kettle to my desk instead of my mug of coffee and didn’t notice for a solid 5 minutes 😃 this is a reminder to take your adhd medication even on weekends 😃😃
Whenever I stop at Reading on the train I’m reminded of this guy at uni who had Reading 2014 tattooed on his upper arm. He said he’d gotten it at Reading Festival that summer, but we all thought he’d gotten a tattoo to commemorate learning how to read in 2014 at the age of 18.
It spent a little long in the oven, but it was a pleasure to finally write up my conversation with Francine (
@Personfaces
) and Alex (
@AlexL_dev
) last week! Thank you for chatting to me about all things Slave Zero X and body horror, guys👺👊🦴
My landlord is such a g, he just came to patch up the leaky kitchen ceiling and didn’t blink twice at the frankly psychopathic-looking scrawlings on my whiteboard. “Texas Chainsaw. Romance Minthara. ADHD screening?”

My friend James was many things, but boring was not one of them. From grumbling about our corp news gig to the pains of gay dating in Hong Kong, he was a constant source of wry humour and idiocy in a sea of nothingness. I’ll miss you, James. Thank you for existing. 🏳️🌈🖤
Say what you want about Redfall and its absolutely nothing “storyline” but you cannot tell me that Arkane didn’t knock it out the park with the vamp design. ‘00s goth camp. I don’t want to kill the motherpire™️, I want to destroy this town in her glorious name 😤
This is your PSA that despite the white-hot vitriol bubbling up in your stomach and your fingers just itching to keyboard smash an angry retort, you are not being personally victimised by a Zelda review. It’s ok for ppl to not think like you do about a game you’ve not yet played.
If you're looking for a truly spellbinding indie game to check out this weekend,
@WhalestorkGames
' The Night is Grey is well worth your time. Eerie narrative mystery, handpainted backgrounds, and 7 lovingly long years in development. Please check it out! <3
Winter in the U.K. is so much fun because I spend all day talking myself in and out of turning on the radiators in favour of adding another hoodie to my thoroughly hoodied upper body.
How anyone can look at a game like Stellar Blade and not feel immediately uncomfortable by how unnecessarily oversexualised women in action games still are to this day makes me want to kiss a shotgun maw, but you guys have fun <3
As a huge fan of vampires, buckets of fake blood, and the unhinged little girl horror trope, Abigail was an absolute delight. Excuse me while I listen to Blood & Tears on repeat 🩰 🩸
The level of detail in

is absolutely incredible, whether you’re looking at something yucky or pretty. Or pretty yucky. This melted crusher is just too cool 🥹
If I see one more online multiplayer shooter or twee anime platformer or samurai action game being announced this year i am done, I am going to slam dunk this planet into a black hole so FAST I swear to god
Getting the bus is such an exciting experience. Will I get off at my destination? Will I end up in *checks notes* Chipping Sudbury? Will I wake up in the bus depot at 1am and have to smash a window in? So many possibilities. The ultimate unknown.

More snaps of the day, ft my incredibly beige after party snack of two kinds of fried potato and a bit of cheese on a stick. Yes that’s a piece of black jelly in a glass of fizzy ribena (it was delicious).
