If you're a traditionalist who kind of wishes Baldur's Gate 3 had stuck to the series' classic real-time with pause combat roots instead of taking a swerve into new-fangled turn-based territory, there's now - as they say - a mod for that. Sort of.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor arrives on PS4 and Xbox One machines 17 months after its original release, but has it turned out well? After all, developer Respawn built its sequel for the new generation of machines first and foremost. It was originally billed as a PS5, Series X, S and PC only project - one pushing RT reflections and global illumination, improved character rendering, and more richly detailed open world areas than the original Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Jedi: Survivor pushes current-gen hardware then, so to what extent can Xbox One and PlayStation 4 hope to compete?

2XKO is an upcoming free-to-play fighting game based on the extremely popular MOBA League of Legends; a genre that could not have less in common with fighting games. Despite this, Riot Games clearly wants to attract players who are completely unfamiliar with fighting games to 2XKO - and it mostly seems it's succeeded. Brand loyalty is a powerful tool, which is doubtlessly why tens of thousands of League of Legends fans who were unable to get access to 2XKO's recent Alpha Test flocked to Twitch instead, so they could watch people play it.

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 done horse dressage in Red Dead Online, delivered crab to people in Elden Ring, whether they wanted 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. We'll open a new one each month.

We had a lot of praise for Final Fantasy 16 when it arrived last year on PS5, bringing excellent visuals with stable performance - at least at 30fps. The PC version has the potential to boost visuals further while allowing for much better frame-rates at the same time and after a demo last month, the full release is finally available. After testing it, it's clear that the PS5 version's 60fps performance woes are a little more understandable, and there's plenty more to say about the game's technical implementation on PC.

Nintendo and The Pokémon Company's shock move to launch legal action against Palworld looks to hinge on a patent relating to how players throw Pokéballs.

Pressure fascinates me. It's something I've been increasingly aware of in recent months and years, especially when talking to people who make games.

And the bigger the success, the bigger the other side of it seems to be. What a tricky thing to deal with.
