Feature | Concrete Genie is a game with a ghost in its walls
2D for.
I've been re-reading Yuval Harari's Sapiens on and off over the last few months, and one of the things that has stuck in my head is Harari's suggestion that modern people might retain some degree of vestigial guilt over the disappearance of the rest of the human crowd. Those other humans! We feel their absence in the earth, as Tolkien might have said - and we suspect we are responsible. This might explain why I've been playing Concrete Genie over the last few days and pondering the uneasy relationships that are sometimes hinted at in game design - most notably in Concrete Genie, I'm thinking of the relationship between 2D games and the 3D games that, for a while at least, seemed to have largely replaced them.

Feature | My nan taught me how to play Baldur's Gate
Cross-gen.
My nans are the reason I got into gaming. Travelling to see my nan on my mother's side meant I'd get to spend the day playing Jak & Daxter while my parents gossiped over coffee. Sometimes she'd let me borrow a game to take home and play, and I'd always race to complete it before we visited again. I find myself with a strange muscle memory for those games now: I could probably recite off the top of my head where every collectible is hidden in Ratchet & Clank. (If only I retained knowledge from my degree as easily as I did those games.) The Jak & Daxter nan is still around - her most frequented game these days is Skyrim, which is a popular one amongst gaming grandmas it seems.

Interview | The writing of The Witcher 3
"We were worried there wasn't enough content!"
Think back to the first moments of Witcher 3, just after the tutorial section in the witcher keep. Geralt and Vesemir, talking naturally together on the road to Vizima, subtly lay out the backstory, reiterate the mission to find Yennefer and indulge in some playful repartee - the writing feels seamless and uncomplicated, as though it arrived fully formed onto the pages of a performance capture script. According to lead writer Jakub Szamalek, however, it did not.
