Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a classy, cinematic puzzle box that preys on my fear of maths

The pre-release marketing for Lorelei and the Laser Eyes has suggested a particularly abstract experience. Strange trailers tease "unconventional concepts", "patterns, patterns, patterns", and "puzzles, puzzles, puzzles", hinting at an otherworldly concept and "maze of deceptions" all in eerie black and white. This was all intentional game director Simon Flesser told me last year. "We want to make viewers wonder, and think." After some hands-on time, though, Lorelei and the... Read more ›

Hades 2 is kicking things off with a special weapon: familiarity

Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark. And there were cocoons everywhere. Sadly, I had a swing at a few, and this turned out to be a mistake. Mothy, woven foes emerged and I was overwhelmed. I woke up, cursing, in a glade surrounded by standing stones. Ahead lay a sort of tented bedroom, and the whole thing promised to start over.Repetition is... Read more ›

Fortnite now lets you block the game's most toxic emotes

Fortnite has added a new setting so you never again have to see or hear some of its most "confrontational" (read: toxic) emotes. These include such classics as Laugh It Up, where you guffaw with the sound of a braying donkey, and Take the L, where you dance from side to side holding - as Smash Mouth once said - your finger and thumb in the shape of an L...

Classic Konami code discovered in Castlevania game 25 years after release

A new version of the classic Konami code has been discovered in Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness 25 years after its release. A sort of director's cut of the infamously foggy Castlevania 64, Legacy of Darkness features multiple characters to play as but these must be unlocked by completing the game. At least, until now. It turns out the iconic Konami code can be used to unlock all characters, costumes and... Read more ›

Tales of Kenzera review: a compassionate Afro-futurist exploration of grief

Protagonist Zau is a hot-headed and petulant young man desperate to revive his father, but sat quietly in the trunk of a... Read more ›
