REVIEW // Saros is a bigger, better, stronger follow-up to Returnal

Carcosa is a planet rich in an incredibly unique and valuable resource known as Lucenite, and you don’t just discover this sort of thing without sparking a corporate interest. And so we meet Arjun (played by the very handsome and talented Rahul Kohli), an Enforcer with a vastly powerful company by the name of Soltari,

Titanium Court - Review

REVIEW // Titanium Court is faerie odd, faerie good

Finding myself in the throes of espionage, war and nonsensical chicanery, I entered Titanium Court, a mere fawn in the headlights.  Trapped in this unfamiliar fortress, surrounded by strange folk speaking in an uncanny tongue, my only goal was to escape. This is a game that revels in the bizarre and philosophical. With the menagerie

REVIEW // The Razer Pro Type Ergo is my new (er)go-to keyboard for productivity

REVIEW // Hades II is a godlike sequel that’s sharp as ever on PS5

There are few times where I’d find myself encouraging of a game developer, especially one that’s built a reputation on delivering creative, unique experiences with each subsequent game, to go straight into a sequel off the back of a hit. It is inevitable, however, and in the case of Supergiant Games and Hades II, I

REVIEW // Pragmata is a heartfelt hack-and-shoot banger

AI is bad. Humans are an expandable impedance to progress. You are the last guy, tasked with exposing and eliminating whatever rogue system has kicked off the end of life as we know it. This is charted territory in fiction, a cautionary tale repeated over decades. But few masters of doomsday sci-fi possessed the kind
