Review | Sorry We're Closed review - an enthralling, demonic love story in survival horror clothing
Meat cute.
Breaking up can be hell, but at least most of us don't have to deal with partners and exes who are also actual demons at the same time. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for London shop worker Michelle. Not only is she still reeling from a bad break-up with her very human girlfriend that happened several years previously, but she's also recently caught the eye of a very demanding arch-demon called The Duchess who simply won't take no for an answer - cursing Michelle with a third eye and the prospect of death and eternal damnation if she doesn't submit to love The Duchess in three days' time.

Digital Foundry | Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on PS5 Pro brings RT to performance mode but image quality problems need fixing
Respawn says it's aware of the issues and is actively investigating.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is not only the game with the weirdest semicolon placement in the industry, it also feels like one of the most-patched current-generation titles, after launching with a host of issues on PC and consoles alike. Jedi: Survivor recently received a PS5 Pro patch too, granting owners of the premium Sony console the potential for enhanced visuals and improved performance, but sadly only one of those objectives has been met here.

Digital Foundry | DF Weekly: What is an Xbox? Not an existential crisis but the latest phase of Microsoft's big transition
And there are "no red lines" on its multi-platform roll-out.
What is an Xbox? It's a pretty straightforward question, right? I'd define it as a custom piece of gaming technology, generally box-shaped, that typically sits in the lounge or bedroom. Competitively priced, it's a mainstream-orientated product that offers a great balance between price and performance and is as close to plug and play gaming as you're going to get. It is a console, or is it? Microsoft begs to differ with its latest, remarkable messaging. A cloud client running on a smart TV, Amazon Fire Stick or Meta Quest VR headset is now an Xbox. A desktop PC is an Xbox. A laptop or PC handheld is also an Xbox. It's all part of Microsoft's transition plan to evolve Xbox from a console/PC ecosystem into an 'Everywhere' platform that's as device-agnostic as it's possible to be - but is it going to work?

Black Friday | Sonic x Shadow Generations just got a serious discount before Black Friday
Gotta sell fast!
Now's the perfect time to try out Sonic x Shadow Generations if you didn't immediately buy it at launch. It's now down to just £29.99 for the Black Friday sales - £20 off its launch price just over a month ago. This isn't a sign of trouble either; Sega often discounts even their top-performing games during sales. Instead, this is simply one of the season's best gaming deals.

Feature | I painted landscapes in the horribly violent world of Rust
A brush with death.
Emma's Adventures was a monthly column created for Eurogamer Supporters that ran throughout 2023. In it, Emma Kent explored online virtual worlds in a way that's become uniquely her own - usually involving an obscure pursuit in a very hostile environment. She's performed horse dressage in Red Dead Online, delivered crab to people in Elden Ring, whether they asked for it or not, and created a fashion boutique in the irradiated warzone of Fallout 76, to name a few. And there are always unexpected twists in her tales. Some of these articles are now a year old, so rather than have them gather dust in an archive, we thought we'd open them up, and it's all thanks to those lovely Supporters.

Now Playing | This Vampire Survivors-like is a knock-out blend of Jackie Chan martial arts and the prop flinging of Yakuza
A black belter.
I used to hate it when I'd see Vampire Survivors clones. I unashamedly loved that game and its lo-fi, fidget-spinnery brilliance, and I cackled when it displaced games hundreds of times its size in awards ceremonies. Look at this outrageously basic pretender getting all of the attention - it was anarchic and exciting. But because it had such a bright moment, copycats inevitably followed, slavering over their imagined piece of low-investment, high-return pie. That they would lick even crumbs from the plate irks me still; they offered nothing but greed.
