Yeah, but how many Balthiers does it have? (it's next on my list for a first-time play!)

Do it! objectively it's the best final fantasy (i am the guy who decides what is objective)

Pokemon Legends: Z-A's mindless platforming is driving me up a wall because it won't let me jump over them Now Playing | Something there is that doesn't love a scaffolding: me

The originally pitched headline for this was "Pokemon Legends: Z-A's platforming can go to hell" and I stand by it

(nodding) that's what i would have done

least convincing voice ever: up the toon

Getting into watching football (see: one club) has been disastrous for my time spent doing the things that truly matter in life (see: playing final fantasy 12 in bed)

Genuinely had an "oh fuck, it's been a month?" moment when I rolled credits 👁️

I've been waiting 6 years for Pokemon to bring back its cutest features, and Pokemon Legends: Z-A has given me hope that I'll get what I want soon Pokemon Legends: Z-A has given me hope that the next game we get will let me live out my anime fantasy

Playing Pokemon Legends:Z-A has made me realise what I've been morning from all Pokemon titles ever since 2018: the feeling of Ash/Pikachu companionship. Big thanks to @andybrown202.bsky.social for letting me shout about it

I was in the same spot earlier in the year - ended up playing the base game start-to-finish, and honestly couldn't imagine stacking anything more on top of it. Also means the DLC is there and waiting for an (inevitable) replay!

Pokemon Legends: Z-A put my favorite Pokemon on a random roof, and it couldn’t have been a more fitting spot Opinion | The Dratini line represents the scope of Pokemon like few others

I wrote about the "Dratini roof" of Pokémon Legends: Z-A and how the original Dragon type line-up has come to represent the simultaneously goofy and enchanting scope of Pokémon as a whole: www.gamesradar.com/games/pokemo...

The Face Of Evil: the preview crasher is back to his old tricks

This feels far too evergreen, but we're always open for feature pitches at pitches@gamesradar.com, and my personal email is in bio.

I get to work with so many brilliant writers, and there's always room for more ❤️

I waited over 20 years for this Vampire RPG sequel, and it sucked the life out of me – Bloodlines 2 is a bitter disappointment Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is the definition of a crying shame. Clumsy writing and flat, repetitive world design expose a handful of good ideas that never take root.

Typically fire review from @jazzgouldwilson.bsky.social about why VTM Bloodlines 2 just doesn't quite work. I feel exactly the same, but Jasmine puts it better than could! Simply a great read.

cinema etiquette is dead

It absolutely is imposter syndrome! Besides being a dream to edit, you're a writer I actively look forward to pitches from - would love to hear from you more ❤️

No Man's Sky's biggest problem in 2025 is being too good, and now I'm trapped in a vicious cycle Now Playing | Hello Games won't stop adding to and improving on its spacefaring behemoth, and therefore I won't stop making new toons

My biggest problem with No Man's Sky in 2025 is that it's too good and won't stop getting better. What? Huh? Read my latest for #GamesRadar to find out what I mean: www.gamesradar.com/games/advent...

Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul has "always wanted" to be in a game, but The Boys-esque superhero comedy Dispatch was the first truly irresistible role: "Nothing really felt like the right fit" Interview | The Telltale-style game sees Aaron Paul play Robert Robertson, a hero-turned-dispatcher for an invisible asthmatic and a man-bat who does investment fraud

Not Pokemon-related, but still cool - I interviewed Aaron Paul to chat about his role as a dispatcher for deadbeat superheroes in Dispatch!

The best part of Silent Hill f is also my favorite from Bloodborne, and it has nothing to do with "Soulslike" combat Opinion | It's not always a haunted doll, but it's usually a haunted doll

it’s time we talk about one of the most important parts of a great horror game: the creepy doll

the haunted dolls in silent hill F and bloodborne, in particular, are the most perfect chariots through the underworld

i’d be lost in the nightmare without them…🕊️

Little Nightmares 3 inherits the series' spooky DNA, but it's hindered by a lack of follow-through and familiar frustrations The latest Review,,,reviews, breaking news, comment, reviews and features from the experts at GamesRadar+

a little lttp, but here's what i think of little nightmares 3. thanks @rollin.bsky.social and @mroscartk.bsky.social for the edits www.gamesradar.com/games/platfo...

Ohhh it's the perfect game for darker evenings! (and I'll probably still be playing come Christmas)

After 30 hours, Ghost of Yotei has impressed me more than any other PS5 exclusive, but at times I can't help but notice the artificiality Closer to Red Dead Redemption 2 than anything I've played

Ghost of Yotei is a game so good that its biggest downside is sometimes feeling the hand of creation a smidge too much. Our great review from @andybrown202.bsky.social!

Also been playing Ghost of Yotei and echo Andy here: Atsu kind of rules

found myself saying "I want to scan a ghost for the first time and I want to get an award for that" way more than i should be today www.gamesradar.com/games/horror...

Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its technology in mass surveillance of Palestinians Exclusive: Tech firm ends military unit’s access to AI and data services after Guardian reveals secret spy project

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"

I've been playing Ghost of Yotei! Love the freewheeling approach to its open world - even if it can feel a tad artificial at times - and adore the photo mode (this screenshot's with no tweaks/filters!)

After 52 hours in Dying Light: The Beast, I'm confident that is one of the best survival horror games of the generation Dying Light: The Beast is a staggering achievement, recapturing the series’ spirit and elevating it tenfold.

Oops, almost forgot to share this here too! My time with Dying Light: The Beast surpassed my already high expectations as a huge fan of @techland.bsky.social’s series, and a lot of it has to do with the beautifully written and presented story. 4.5/5 ⭐️

they are putting me in a wicker man from The Wicker Man tomorrow 🎃

Gorgeous, God-like and... bisexual? How 'Hades'’ developers made sexuality part of the power fantasy Zagreus is your hero, your anti-hero. And he was made that way. Irritating and devilishly loveable... he’s bisexual, too. Of course.

Hades is 5 today (!) so here's one of my favourite interviews I've done, and favourite pieces I've written, celebrating how well Supergiant does polyamory, sexuality, and power fantasy
