Feature | Idyll is a gentle social world from the creator of Library of Babble.
Island dreams.
For now, Idyll exists for me as a few notes in my diary - things I read, bottles I opened. It's kind of similar to the way a distant holiday might live on in the form of pictures on my phone's camera reel. Reading back through the notes now, a surprising amount of the experience returns to me - how I felt, how I slowly learned to get my bearings, how natural so much of it seemed.

Digital Foundry | Resident Evil Village PSVR2 tech review: superb visuals, game-changing controls
It feels like RE Village was developed with VR in mind.
Resident Evil 7 is one of the best titles for the original PSVR with the extra immersion provided by the headset elevating the experience to a new level - despite using the same DualShock 4 controls as the standard game. Now we have PSVR2 support for Resident Evil Village and this time Capcom has embraced the new Sense controllers, fundamentally altering the core gameplay. So how do the visuals hold up in VR and what sacrifices were necessary to get there - and how do the new Sense controls influence the experience?

Feature | Sons of the Forest is savage and filled with discoveries
Happy little trees.
Like many things that demand I make an effort, camping is very much Not My Bag. Even if it wasn't dark and claustrophobic and didn’t require grim communal washroom facilities, I'm reliably informed that there are bugs. And given I can barely cope with the video game versions – I have abandoned many a game because a spider hissed at me – I tend to turn down any premise in which I may encounter one in person.

Feature | After a lifetime of Mario, Kirby is pleasantly weird
Cleaver stuff.
Kirby and I, it seems, have grown up alongside each other, while remaining largely separate. I have been living my life, Kirby has been living his. A lot of what I've been doing in my life, though, is playing games that are almost, but never quite, Kirby. Over the last few years I have played a few Kirby spin-offs, but the main adventures I have left quite alone. Instead, I've been hanging out with Mario, Wonder Boy, the running man from Impossible Mission. (I love that guy.)
