Digital Foundry | Oddworld Soulstorm - how systems-driven graphics and gameplay deliver an unforgettable experience.
The Digital Foundry tech review.
The re-emergence of Oddworld continues with its most ambitious game yet. Having effectively rebooted the franchise with New 'n' Tasty back in 2014, it's taken seven years for the next big Oddworld game to arrive and Soulstorm does not disappoint. It may have started out life as a pseudo-remake of the PS1-era Abe's Exoddus, but in reality this is the most dramatic transformation for the series since Stranger's Wrath. It's a systems-driven adventure that takes advantage of modern physics and materials systems to deliver unique ideas while staying true to the Oddworld ethos.

UPDATED: The PS5 tests results are in.

Feature | The story of Starflight, EA's sci-fi sandbox that laid the way for Mass Effect
Our destination, the stars.
It's incredible to think that Starflight, developed by Binary Systems and one of the first games published by Electronic Arts, isn't better known today. Conceived in the early 80s by Rod McConnell and Jim Yarborough, their idea was to create an open-ended space exploration game with random encounters and resource collection. Today, you'd think of No Man's Sky, Mass Effect or Elite Dangerous; even by 1986, when the PC original of Starflight was finally published, nothing like Starflight existed despite distant relatives such as the space trading game, Elite.

Feature | "With great accessibility comes great inclusivity"
The community shaping the future of accessibility in games.
I was really moved this week to see how a small number of people have powered a profound change in games. I'm a bit embarrassed to say I often overlook accessibility in games, which isn't to say I don't benefit from it. And I assumed the range of accessibility options in modern games was simply improving because someone somewhere decided it should. But of course that's not what happened. Behind the celebrated and ground-breaking accessibility tools in a game like The Last of Us Part 2, for example, is the tireless work of a community campaigning for the opportunity to play and enjoy games too.

Video | Watch Aoife build the ultimate gaming PC
"I'm coming for your job Rich."
If you're a regular over on the Eurogamer YouTube channel you might have noticed that Aoife, Ian and Zoe tend to stream console games a lot there - and often only the more basic PC titles, like Among Us. If you guessed this was because their PCs were getting a little long in the tooth, you'd be right. We were just thinking about speccing out upgrades when Intel handily offered to supply the team with brand new, cutting-edge builds based around their 11th generation CPUs.

Feature | Tiny Crossword+ brings simple grid-based magic to Apple Arcade
Patella.
Like a lot of people, my day begins with Joel Fagliano and his Mini crossword in the New York Times. Then, I am sad to note, my day often goes downhill. Whole hours pass in which I do not have to solve clues so I can put letters in little boxes. It's not right. Fagliano manages to make one of his Minis every day - it seems wrong to ask for more than that. Yet the day is long and the Mini is mini.
