Feature | Put a Conquest Mode in everything
Empire dearth.
Conquest Modes, I truly believe, are the best thing to almost happen to video games. There was a weird, brief time when it looked like they might happen around 2005, seemingly off the back of a wave of appreciation for Total War, when they started popping up in everything from other RTS games to the original Star Wars Battlefront 2. But then - poof! - gone.

Digital Foundry | The Last of Us Part 2 tech review: a Naughty Dog masterclass
Raising the bar.
Across the generations, the first-party exclusive 'prestige game' has become an important part of the console ownership experience. These large, expensive projects are designed to push the medium to its limits, offering players new experiences with top-tier production values and state-of-the-art technology. Within the upper echelon of studios charged to deliver these halo titles, Naughty Dog has cemented itself as one of the best. The Last of Us Part 2 is the studio's latest creation and perhaps its most stunning. Beneath its decaying façade lies a gorgeous, beautifully realised experience; it's a game that applies the multitude of hard lessons learned from prior releases, culminating in delivering Naughty Dog's largest, most ambitious project to date - but what does that really mean in the context of this game?

Review | Disintegration review - a quirky but troubled sci-fi shooter
Ah shucks.
Back at last year's E3 - an event that now feels like a lifetime ago - I had a chat with V1 founder Marcus Lehto to pin down what Disintegration was all about. Due to the game's dystopian sci-fi setting and Lehto's background as the co-creator of Halo, I came away thinking Disintegration's narrative had the potential to explore some fascinating topics, including post-humanism and the threats to our world today.

A closer look at Bluepoint's stunning work.
We've waited a long time for this - a whole console generation in fact - but a revamped rendition of Demon's Souls is finally coming, spearheading the line-up for Sony's next generational leap in gaming. This is indeed Bluepoint Games' mysterious project, first teased by the developer back in March 2018 on these very pages, and it's a big deal.

Feature | The Double-A Team: The thrilling convenience of Torchlight
Can you pet the pet?
I spent a lot of last week zooming around in Disintegration, which is a fascinating and pretty lovely game. It's lovely because everything in it feels so good, and because - not an insult - there is a warming, comforting Double-A-ness to it in its sparsity and its obvious desire to get the most out of absolutely everything. And it's fascinating because... well.
