Be Warned: Kirby Air Riders Is Nothing Like Mario Kart Kirby Air Riders isn't like any other kart racer, which could end up being its biggest strength or biggest weakness.

Kirby Air Riders is one of the strangest racers I've ever played, but it's one that I expect I'll be very into www.thegamer.com/kirby-air-ri...

Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment (also known as Jade takes far too many screenshots of Zelda simulator) delivers when it comes to fierce combat and heartfelt storytelling.

It's a surprisingly evocative prequel to Tears of the Kingdom that shakes up the musou formula in some worthwhile ways.

Eric was such a big part of the team and was the face of TheGamer in the US. He worked so hard and cared so much. Please hire him!!

If anyone needs a hand with applying to PR roles, please let me know. I’d be more than glad to help.

Sending so much love to anyone who’s been let go ♥️

Unfortunately, my time as an Editor for TheGamer.com has come to an end.

I met some of the best coworkers I've ever had there, I learned and grew a lot.

If anyone is looking for a journo, especially for guides, reviews, VR, horror, and farming RPGs, I'd love to hear from you.

I got laid off from TheGamer today, along with the entire Features team (go give
@epicswitzer.bsky.social
and
@hallafyre.bsky.social
a follow!)

Needless to say, I'm now looking for work. I'm open to roles in:

-Journalism
-PR
-Copywriting
-Copy editing
-Games writing
-Scriptwriting

If anyone who was laid off from TheGamer today has a piece they were working on and need a home for, Skybox wants to hear from you, and we pay pretty well.

We can't make up for you being laid off, but we'll do what we can.

Please follow and support what they do next, as all three of them are tremendous talents who deserve the very best.

No matter what they end up doing, they're going to kick ass and do themselves proud.

Ninja Gaiden 4 Review - Greater Ninja By delivering brutal combat, high challenge, and interesting characters, Ninja Gaiden 4 is almost everything I dreamed it would be.

Not the best weekend, but really really proud and excited to share my Ninja Gaiden 4 review :) Definitely my Game of the Year, surprising no one - www.thegamer.com/ninja-gaiden...

The wonderful @megpelliccio.bsky.social wrote this wonderful article about mine and Nora's time at @bcngamefest.bsky.social showcasing the @babystepsgame.bsky.social / @skatestory.com Alternative Controllers!

If You Already Thought Baby Steps Was Difficult, Playing It With A Body Motion Controller Will Truly Make You Stumble Nikoheart and Nora Eichinger challenged gamers at Barcelona Game Fest with their motion controllers for Baby Steps and Skate Story.

While at @bcngamefest.bsky.social, one of the absolute highlights were the motion controllers for Baby Steps and Skate Story at the Devolver Digital booths with @nikoheart.com and Nora.

‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder Where once people were duped by soft-focus photos and borrowed chat-up lines, now they have to watch out for computer-generated charm. But it’s one thing to use a witty phrase – another thing entirely...

Impressive that AI has made even something as laborious and depersonalising as app dating worse

Today is the last day of @bcngamefest.bsky.social!

The past couple of days have been so fun and it's been great to check out all the indie games ❤️

If you thought @babystepsgame.bsky.social was hard already, doing it with a full body controller to monitor your legs makes it even harder!!

Here is me failing badly with no confidence. Bloody fun though! @bcngamefest.bsky.social

After a very delayed flight, I eventually made it to Barcelona Game Fest!

Big shout out to @insertcoin.bsky.social for keeping me looking my best in the latest LaD gear ❤️🐉

Absolum Review - An Absolute Game-Changer For Beat ‘Em Ups Absolum isn’t for the weak-hearted, but its excellent beat 'em up mechanics and unique roguelite structure make it one of the genre’s best games.

I’ve not shut up about Absolum since I first saw it, and I’m happy to say it completely lived up to all my hopes - one of my favourite games this year for sure: www.thegamer.com/absolum-revi...

Exclusive: Absolum’s Art Director On Designing One Of 2025’s Most Stunning Games, “Surviving” Hades 2, And A Potential Sequel Absolum art director Maxime Mary gave TheGamer an exclusive look at the creation of its four heroes and shared more about his time on the game.

One of my favourite pieces I’ve done in a long while, it was a pleasure to chat with Maxime Mary about the work that went into the stunning Absolum: www.thegamer.com/absolum-art-...

Revolution Software Is Raising The Bar Even Higher With Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror Reforged Revolution Software's Charles Cecil talks with me about Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror Reforged.

I am THRILLED that my favourite Broken Sword, The Smoking Mirror, is officially getting the Reforged treatment!

After 2 years of me nagging poor Charles Cecil, we finally chatted about what's coming next and how this new Reforged raises the bar once again.

Ghost Of Yotei - The Ghost Of Triple-A Present Ghost of Yotei builds on Ghost of Tsushima's foundations to be the best example of what an archetypal triple-A game should be.

Silent Hill f is a bold depiction of feminine rage against the societal expectations and corrupt systems that demand women fulfil certain roles in life.

Hinako Shimizu picks up a lead pipe and starts swinging at those unfair expectations until there is nothing left but ashes. #SilentHillf

Dying Light: The Beast Review - Back To Beastics The Beast isn’t as ambitious as Dying Light 2, but that sharper focus makes it feel like the true sequel to the first game.

Dying Light 2 was one of the first games I properly guided for TheGamer, so it’s very cool to have the chance to review Dying Light: The Beast. It’s not as ambitious as the last game, but that definitely helps it in the long run. My review: www.thegamer.com/dying-light-...

The Knightling Is A Colorful And Compact RPG That Needs To Be On Your Radar The Knightling takes your favorite things about RPGs, action-adventure, and puzzle games and somehow squeezes them all into a perfect little package.

I've been playing The Knightling for the last couple of weeks, and even though the video game calendar is about to get ridiculously busy, you should be playing it too. www.thegamer.com/the-knightli...

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival Is Following In Alien Isolation’s Morbidly Stealthy Footsteps Saber Interactive is delivering a new, single-player chapter in the Hellraiser canon.

Hellraiser: Revival might have been my highlight of Gamescom. I adore Alien: Isolation, but for years it feels like licensed horror has been more interested in multiplayer instead of single-player experiences.

With this, things are finally changing:

Final Fantasy 14’s Yoshi-P Discusses Sphene’s Return, The Possibility Of New Crafter Or Gatherer Roles, And That Cryptic Final Patch 7.3 Scene At Gamescom, Final Fantasy 14 producer and director Naoki Yoshida discusses Sphene, Patch 7.3's revelations, and more.

At Gamescom, I spoke with Yoshi-P once again, and we chatted loads about Patch 7.3 (so be warned, there are spoilers), as well as the decision to include the original Sphene, whether we'll ever get another crafter or gatherer role, and more!
