Restart.run Asks: What’s the Best Horror Game Monster? | Restart The battle for the best of the beasts is on, but which video game monsters will the Restart.run team (and you!) pick for our horror hall of fame? Now hold on, is that a butler?

What's the best horror game monster? I asked the Restart team this week and @higgins.games picked a butler because of course he did

Our Battlefield 6 review card. 4/5 stars

Battlefield 6 marks a glorious return to form for the grand-scale shooter and brings some brilliant new additions, but more support is needed to maximize its potential.

Text: Escalation, on the other hand, may be my favorite Battlefield mode yet. The setup begins much like Conquest, with two teams racing to capture and hold control points across a larger map. But instead of reducing ticket counts, these now contribute progress toward a central bar. Fill your team’s side first and you’ll score a point. But crucially, you’ll also change the game’s structure. As Escalation progresses, control points are steadily removed but vehicles are added. A match might commence with just jeeps and a transport chopper to utilize. Over time, anti-infantry vehicles enter the fray, then tanks, attack helicopters, and jets. The end of each Escalation match is a cacophony of combat. Choppers, fighter jets, and bombers scorch the skies as an armada of grounded armor rumbles toward a slim handful of remaining control points. Smartly, these tend to be placed indoors. For all the chaos outside, it’s the foot soldiers who truly get to finish the fight. Escalation lives up to its name, and comfortably shows Battlefield 6 at its best.

Here's a snippet on the new Escalation mode, which rocks.

Battlefield 6 Review: An Excellent Escalation | Restart Battlefield 6 marks a glorious return to form for the grand-scale shooter and brings some brilliant new additions, but more support is needed to maximize its potential.

I reviewed Battlefield 6 for @restart.run! It really feels like a return to form with some great new modes and a focus on making the core elements as gratifying as possible, but it desperately needs more maps that deliver the full-scale experience. www.restart.run/articles/bat...

Police to get broader powers to crack down on repeated protests The move is not a ban on protests but "about restrictions and conditions", Shabana Mahmood tells the BBC.

Utterly baffling response. Police waste time making pointless arrests at peaceful protest, so the logic is to make more peaceful protests an arrestable offence. Going to be abused further, too.

Enjoy! I really fell in love with this one the further I got.

Me but with literally everything I write.

Congratulations Morgan!

Will check this one out for sure! Had my eye on it but hadn't had recommendations

Are Digital Board Games the Future? We Asked Designers | Restart With many major board games now making the jump to digital, we asked the teams behind anticipated upcoming conversions why they took the leap, and if others should be doing the same.

Big chunky board game feature up on @restart.run from me today! Had the chance to speak with a few designers/devs about converting a board game to digital www.restart.run/articles/are...

Im more of a fan of Pokemon Prawn Cocktail

Having that issue with the flipping beastfly at the moment. I get tired/frustrated with the repetition and fumble when it starts summoning the little chargers.

I know I'm late to this, but while I didn't find these guys tough, they were extremely tedious. The fight doesn't change much materially over its length and outstayed its welcome. Loved most of the other bosses before this one!

Is Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave A Three Houses Sequel or Prequel? | Restart The first trailer for Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave has already ignited a wealth of speculation over its connection to Three Houses. Let's weigh up the details on both sides: Sequel or prequel?

Enjoyed an excuse to go off the deep end with Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave setting speculation this week. www.restart.run/articles/is-... #fireemblem

Ah, he's off gooning in Portugal, is he?

Or you'll send your goons after me?

There's a face in there somewhere...

Did not realise The Spectator was quite this level of repugnant. Abhorrent stuff.

For the record, it was Fire Emblem: Three Houses that pushed me to make the switch. Another reason it remains the greatest game of all time

I used to be perverse like this. But since becoming a married man I taught myself to live life uninverted (to save time swapping settings)

Getting to the point with Silksong where I'm just finding some sequences a bit too miserly or tedious. Might need to come back after a break to see if I still want to continue
