The very first thing that drew me to Unto the End was the sound design. Watching the trailer when I saw the news it'd be EGX, I was quite excited to get my hands on what seemed to be a fairly simple hack and slash with great audio, and a decent story to go along with it. What I actually got was a challenging 2D adventure with a more complex combat system and interesting environments to traverse - and of course the aforementioned excellent sound design.

Development kits are out, game makers are briefed. Sony's PlayStation 5 and Xbox Project Scarlett projects are under way - however, detailed specifications of the consoles are still a subject of much speculation. What has been confirmed is that both machines once again have much in common: both are produced in concert with AMD, both use the Zen 2 CPU architecture while the graphics cores are based on the latest Radeon Navi technology. The question is: can this deliver a full generational leap over PlayStation 4 and Xbox One?

There's always someone at the party who thinks they're a wine expert, and whether they like it or not, they always come across as a bit obnoxious. Perhaps because winetasting has always been the preserve of the elite, it's difficult to ask said person questions about wine without feeling a little stupid or uncultured. And, even if you are one of the people lucky enough to have visited a vineyard (as I have - bougie, I know), you may not know much about the actual process of making wine.

What makes a good detective game? It's a harder question than you might think.

It's hard to put a finger on that Star Wars feeling, but you know it when it happens. Star Wars is traditional myth combined with things you've never seen before - both familiar and strange, it's the hero's journey in a sci-fi world. To me, it's about epic themes told with a twinkle in the eye - a balancing act that's hard to get right.

It's a little less than a year since BlizzCon 2018 went wrong. To cap off the opening ceremony for its annual fan event, Blizzard unveiled a new smartphone game called Diablo Immortal, co-developed with Chinese company NetEase. Fans from Blizzard's Western, PC gaming heartlands weren't slow to voice their displeasure online - or, embarrassingly, at the event itself, during Q&A sessions with developers. This wasn't the Diablo game they wanted. It wasn't for them.

When looking for an anecdote to illustrate both the fascination and frustration inherent in Disco Elysium, you need to go no further than its opening minutes. Your character wakes up with a killer headache, no memory of his past life and no clothes on. If you're feeling adventurous, you can make a grab for your tie, swinging away on the fan in your room. Failing the first of many many checks results in you dying of a heart attack and makes it clear that this game means business. Because while at that point it may all be fun and games to start over with a character slightly less inclined to instantly croak, it's actually one of many instances in which your body, brain or the outside world are out to get you.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order hasn't had the easiest path to tread. In the shadow of the PR mess surrounding Star Wars Battlefront 2's microtransactions, and the disappointing cancellation of Visceral's title, the weight of the world's expectations for a compelling single-player Star Wars game have fallen heavily on Respawn's shoulders - as if producing a game for one of the world's biggest franchises wasn't already pressure enough.
