Of course, nobody’s expecting the next go-to competitive …

Back 4 Blood is like post-apocalyptic puberty with the range of emotions it can elicit in one play session. At one end of the spectrum, there’s the exhausted, frantic, elated exhilaration of surviving a particularly brutal section in one piece, everyone launching themselves through the Safe Room door or into …

Read More »Ghostbusters: Afterlife review: “A genuine treat full of warmth, wit and wonder”
The legacy of Ivan Reitman’s phantom-finding franchise, following a group of NY scientists stopping a surplus of spooks, has had its share of bumps (in the night) – from the diminishing returns of the 1989 sequel to the underperforming gender-switch reboot of 2016. So it would be fair to approach …
Read More »Razer Pro Type and Pro Click review: “All-day productivity with a smooth finish”
Razer Pro sees the company stepping into the office for the first time, and, strangely, this move from the gaming den to the office doesn’t feel too jarring. The $139.99 Razer Pro Type and $99.99 Pro Click accessories offer a more understated design than the RGB-clad gaming range, but at …
Read More »Halloween Kills review: “Does exactly what a middle chapter should do”
There are multiple ways in which Halloween Kills is boxed in. For one, it has to plausibly all take place on the same night as its 2018 predecessor. It also has to explain how a gravely injured, ageing serial killer could survive being trapped in a flaming basement. And it …

Read More »Gloomhaven board game review: “The ultimate tabletop dungeon-crawler”
Gloomhaven is a board game that takes a year or more to complete. But you shouldn’t let that put you off. To be frank, I don’t think you even have to finish Gloomhaven to enjoy it. The joy lies in the journey. In that way, it has more in common …
Read More »The Suicide Squad review: “much more satisfying than its predecessor”
Typographically speaking, only three additional letters separate James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad from the David Ayer-directed Suicide Squad that limped out five years ago.
