Welcome to Redfall, where the town motto is "Calm seas and sunny skies." Today, the seas are unnaturally calm. It's quietly horrific, actually. Go down to the dock and the ocean is frozen mid-tsunami - a giant sculpted wave caught in all its Hokusai curves and froth, the whole thing locked in space, with the soft matte edges giving it the likeness of old sea glass. There are ships caught forever in its tumble and swell - small fishers, but also a huge container ship, stopped mid-catastrophe, its cargo stuck in the silent spray.

We've also added in analysis of Xbox Series X, which - generally speaking - is much the same as the PlayStation 5 version. Xbox Series S? That's where things switch up somewhat.

I hope you don't mind if I get a little frank with you here. I've struggled to write this piece on Shadows of Doubt for several days. Not because I don't know what to say - I know what I did and didn't like during my time exploring several different generated cities - but because I'm not sure how to string together my thoughts on this game. And I think the reason why I've found it so hard is because I'm not sure Shadows of Doubt itself knows entirely what it wants to be.

I've been playing Marvel Snap for months now, and there's a particular card that has been blowing my mind a bit. Agatha Harkness takes over your hand and plays your cards for you.

[Unsurprising spoiler: my theories were deeply incorrect.]

Behind The Red Dais begins with an appeal to the nose. "First, the smell of rotten strawberries..." reads the opening text. "That's how you will know you are not dreaming." It's both an evocative line and a distancing, even self-defeating one: despite the fervent efforts of certain peripheral makers, video games continue to be devoid of an olfactory component. And yet, the smell lingers. There's a crimson flash, as though you'd taken damage, and the screen fades up to reveal a sleepy but cheerful-seeming woman standing by a bed. On the bed, a "red, dry stain".
