Feature | Games of 2022: The best update of 2022 was in Sea of Thieves
Perfecting hijinks on the high seas!
We turned the Hourglass of Fate, hoisting the banner for the Servants of the Flame in the battle for the Sea of Thieves. With the final vote cast, our galleon dove down beneath the water. We steeled ourselves for the fight ahead as we navigated between the coral reefs, the silhouette of a megaladon in the distance. Suddenly we began our ascent, crashing above the waves with another galleon dead ahead. We dropped sail, speeding towards our opponents, as they turned, and aligned their cannons for a broadside on our bow. The battle was upon us.

Digital Foundry | The Witcher 3 next-gen: ray tracing and performance modes tested on PS5 and Xbox Series X
The RT effect is beautiful - but performance is the best way to play.
Seven years since its first release, the new The Witcher 3 Complete Edition aims to enhance an already iconic game with a huge suite of extras. On PS5, Xbox Series X, S and PC, it's a free update listed as patch 4.0. Visuals are enhanced, quality of life improvements are added, plus we get extras to tie into the Netflix TV show. This much we already knew from our preview after a visit to CD Projekt RED's offices - but now it's time to put the console code to test across all of our established test areas. We'll be kicking off with Series X and PS5 analysis, covering off performance and RT modes, with the non-RT Series S version to follow. First impressions? Neither mode on either console is the finished article, but right now, we'd recommend the performance mode on both flagship consoles.

Feature | Games of 2022: The Excavation of Hob's Barrow had the most unforgettable introductions of the year
Sett up.
For whatever reason, I haven't played a good, honest point-and-click game in years, possibly decades (maybe not since the original Monkey Island, or even Hook on the Amiga?) so it's fitting my return is with the sublime Excavation of Hob's Barrow, a game which wouldn't look out of place from the genre's hay day - albeit with a slightly off kilter style that wonderfully complements its 19th century folklore story.

Feature | Games of 2022: Hindsight was the best for invoking the brilliance of Terence Malick and Wong Kar Wai
A quietly devastating story of memory and identity.
In a year of innovative games that didn't quite stick the landing or super polished blockbusters that left me cold, when it comes to considering game of the year contenders, I've found it ever more important to prioritise my heart picks. In 2022, Hindsight was that game for me.

Digital Foundry | The Witcher 3's next-gen upgrade is beautiful on PC - but performance is not good enough
And the hotfix update doesn't address the fundamental problems.
The Witcher 3 is over seven years old now - and we were surprised and delighted to see CD Projekt RED return to the game, modernising it with a range of visual upgrades. Our take on the console versions is coming shortly, but we're kicking off with a look at the PC build, which delivers the widest range of enhancements compared to the original release. Cutting to the chase, the ray tracing enhancements are brilliant and absolutely transformative - but there are clear issues with performance that need to be addressed.

Feature | Games of 2022: A Plague Tale: Requiem provided the best big sister
Amicia already.
I think fiction sometimes forgets about the bonds between brothers and sisters and how powerful they can be. I guess we usually see siblings as a way of showing two sides of the same coin - one who turned out evil while the other turned out good, like me and my brother. But if a story wants us to feel that harrowing sense of fear or loss, and desperation, it's usually a parent-child set-up they go for.
