After playing Pokopia for the past week, can confidently say that this game's going to consume people's lives (complimentary) while we're all waiting for Wind and Waves.

It's a lot like Animal Crossing/Minecraft/Dragon/Quest Builders, but it's also bigger than the sum of is parts. My review:

I've reported 2-3 stories in my career that have sucked the spirit out of my body and this was one of them. But! Seeing the response of the fgc to help their brother genuinely put it right back. Im humbled to have been trusted with this. Help your neighbors friends those in need are all around you.

Here's my review of Resident Evil Requiem, an incredible entry that refines so much and whose mashup of horror and action shouldn't work but does

Resident Evil Requiem is the best of both terrifying worlds The best of RE in one package.

Resident Evil Requiem seamlessly shifts between tone and view to create yet another horrifying evolution for the franchise.
