It took me around 110 hours to finish Elden Ring and much of that, now, is a blur. Sure I remember some of the key beats - emerging from the catacombs into the world at the start, battles against Godrick and Rennala, the countless defeats against Malenia - but mostly the words "You Died" repeatedly on the screen.

Before I was even old enough to qualify as a teenager, I was obsessed with the works of Akira Toriyama. Dragon Ball, Dragon Quest, Dr Slump, Chrono Trigger - everything Toriyama-related I could get my hands on blew my 13-year-old mind.It didn't take me long to get around to Sand Land, Toriyama's 14-chapter-long manga released all the way back in 2000. I was young and naive, fresh off the back... Read more ›

Few games have left such an immediate impression on me as The Collage Atlas. Here are anchors dropping from a white sky, razor-thin keys opening butterfly locks, and books swarming in the wakes of ships as if they were murmurations of starlings.
