My favourite thing about Cosmochoria is how it's a space game that actually feels like it may have come from a distant galaxy. This galaxy's been watching our world, certainly, but it hasn't been paying too much attention. As a result, this is an arcade game, a roguelite, and something of an ecological fable - and yet it feels nothing like any of these things when you actually play it.

Everybody has a terrible gaming secret, and here is mine: for the past few days I have left Clicker Heroes running on my work PC overnight. Setting aside the environmental guilt I feel for this, which is considerable, this is also something of a very mild existential crisis to take into account. Clicker Heroes is one of the most openly inane games I have ever played. It is if a rent had opened up in the planet, connecting us with our collective gaming id, and a torrent of gold, of DPS, of levelling stats has spewed forth. Clicker Heroes is a game reduced to very little but its reward system. I should know. During the time I have been typing this paragraph, I have made over a billion gold coins.

While open world role-playing game The Witcher 3 has been met with critical acclaim, including receiving an Essential award from Eurogamer, its launch has been marred by discussion of a graphical downgrade.

With the exception of a few characters from Far Cry 3 popping up in Far Cry 4's Kyrat, the general assumption is that each Far Cry game stands alone, lacking any significant narrative links. The thing is, I'm a massive Far Cry nerd and, after noticing numerous subtle details in Far Cry 4 that seemed to reference past games and characters, I decided to dig a bit deeper. After wading through the endless swamp of online speculation, I've got a pretty solid theory (I think) that not only ties the whole series together, but also points us toward a possible setting for Far Cry 5.

The best thing I ever read about Ray Bradbury, the sci-fi and horror author, occasional screenwriter, and eternal manchild, was an article that criticised his imagination. This is heresy, of course, and to make matters worse I've misplaced the article in question. Bear with me nonetheless: according to this writer, while Bradbury's widely lauded for his powers of invention, in truth his strengths lie elsewhere. His rocketships, his space travellers, his dystopias are flimsy and lacklustre. His real genius was for memory, rather than imagination - for decade-old griefs, lapsed friendships and childhood fears. Those fears! So clinically reconstructed years after the tears had run and the sweat had dried. Bradbury thrived on ghosts, not aliens, and his best material was found in the past rather than the future.

An expansion to Bloodborne has been confirmed by president of Sony Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida.
