Some say that Skull and Bones has spent over a decade in development, so just how good is the final release? Well, Ubisoft says it's a game of quadruple-A quality no less, but in our opinion it's very much a mixed bag. There are elements to commend it from a technical point of view, but equally, it falls short in so many ways. Originally conceived as an off-shoot of the naval battles in Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, the lineage is clear - but for all the technological advances seen in the last decade, Skull and Bones is arguably worse than AC4 in some regards. Meanwhile, beyond the technology, we've got issues with the core game design - not to mention its bugginess and lack of consistency and polish.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has failed to meet publisher Warner Bros' expectations.

What if AMD produced a desktop graphics card that effectively mirrored console GPU specifications? Would such a product guarantee console-level performance in the PC space, or is it the case that there are already console-equivalent GPUs currently available that already do the job - and if so, how much do they cost? It's been known for a while now that AMD's Radeon RX 6700 10GB (the non-XT) model has startling similarities to the technological make-up of the PlayStation 5's GPU - so a while back, I bought one used from eBay and the head-to-head results are certainly intriguing.

Inflexion is prioritising an offline play mode for Nightingale. This follows on from player feedback, with many questioning the developer's decision to make Nightingale online-only on its early access release earlier this month.

Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've been playing over the past few days. This week: deliveries, hotlines, and awkwardly hung paintings.

In the Zone, causality goes into the blender. The past and the present and the future do not always follow in polite order. No wonder, then, that I knew Pacific Drive would one day be our Game of the Week when I played a demo build and almost died because I grabbed my car's windscreen wipers instead of the steering wheel. Sometimes you can stir things apart.
