The creators of the cult classic Chibi-Robo! series have announced a spiritual successor, koROBO.

Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've been playing over the past few days. This week, we've taken a strip to space to touch some appealing machinery; we've been revelling in FromSoftware's much kinder gaming series; and Bertie has been being horrible to everyone in Baldur's Gate 3.

Of all the places I expected to learn some fundamental lessons about therapy, playing a game about vampire therapists was not one of them. Yet I have, and now I wonder why I excluded such a possibility in the first place. Games do have a unique power in their interactivity that's perfect for education (though I've sat through enough awful corporate training videos attempting to do the same thing). That Vampire Therapist can teach me concepts usually associated with stuffier education shouldn't really be surprising, then. What's surprising is no one has tried this approach for this topic before.

Capcom and real-time strategy aren't words you'd normally put together, but if my first five hours with Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess are anything to go by, this is a match that's shaping up to be truly quite divine. This is a strategy game whose core is pure Capcom action, with energetic katana arcs and dazzling button combos laced with some of the most spectacular, kaleidoscopic visual effects this side of Okami (a connection that's not lost on Capcom either, thanks to their free Ammy and Waka costume crossover items coming at launch).

UPDATE 18/7/24: The First Descendant developer Nexon says it has removed icons from the game which players said were copies of those found in Destiny 2.

OLED technology has continued to gain momentum in recent years with its superior black levels, contrast, motion resolution and vibrancy. Yet, in the PC space, it's only recently that actual OLED monitors have started to become mainstream. There's just one issue: OLED monitors tend to cost significantly more than competing LCD monitors and primarily target larger sizes.

While the world waits for news on Switch 2, there's still life in Nintendo's current aging console yet - and money to be made - as evidenced by the reveal of a Joy-Con Charging Stand.

Out in the dungeons I'm hunting for treasure and glory, but back in the town I'm hunting for Renaud. This is weird, really, because Renaud looks like hard work. He dresses like Blade and he speaks entirely in maxims. He's the best of the slayers and he can't wait to tell you about it.

It's summer, the season of occasional sun (hello from the UK) and seemingly ceaseless video game discounts - and up next is Sony, promising price reductions on over 4500 digital titles during its newly launched PlayStation Store Summer Sale.

The development team behind EA Sports FC 25 - which launches this year on 27th September and hosts England star Jude Bellingham on its cover - isn't worried about a potential revival of the FIFA brand at another developer.

FIF- sorry, EA Sports FC 25 has been officially unveiled, with England wonderkid Jude Bellingham this year's cover star. As usual, developer EA Sports has also outlined plans for a couple of big headline changes for the year - as well as a bucketload of little tweaks to go alongside them - but there are a couple of surprises. For one, FC 25 is going all tactical, with a new system with its customary proper noun, FC IQ, being introduced behind the scenes. And maybe even more surprising: there's an actual, proper update for career mode.

When Concord kicked off Sony's last State of Play recently, reception from the team on DF Direct Weekly was hardly positive. The presentation opened with a pre-rendered CG video with a level of graphical quality that far exceeded what was realistically possible from the final game, while Concord's actual gameplay reveal also struggled to escape comparison with Overwatch. That said, we did want to get to grips with the game and a recent beta has given us the chance to do exactly that: to sample both PlayStation 5 and PC versions ourselves - and it's fair to say we're more upbeat on its prospects now. There's no doubt this is a well-made game, but is it a must-play? We're still not sure.

Crocs has teamed up with The Pokémon Company to offer more official versions of its shoes.

Nintendo's mysterious horror game - glimpsed last week via a brief and bizarre teaser trailer - is in fact a new entry in the Famicom Detective Club series.
