Compromise has been the watchword of this generation – and thankfully that’s about to change
There was some chatter earlier this year that the jump this new generation will give us will be the biggest since the leap between 2D and 3D. Don’t just dismiss that as marketing talk, because it’s very true. Since the strongest 2d games were released for the SNES, we’ve seen a very slow transition to 3D.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Review-in-Progress
Assassin's Creed has been one of my favourite franchises of all time, and the changes they have made in the last few entries are wonderful in almost every way.

Space Crew Impressions
A ragtag group of spacefaring adventurers, a cool ship, a jump drive, laser guns and some pesky aliens to shoot them at. Those are the essential parts of any space-themed game that I’m looking for, and Space Crew fits the bill perfectly.
