This week Rossko grills Josh about his time with Assassin’s Creed Shadows ahead of this weeks release (his review is up on the site now more than anything else) and we discuss what we would love to see in future Assassin’s Creed releases. There’s a lot of AC in this one, just a heads up.

I’ve been watching, I’ve been waiting, for an Assassin’s Creed set in Feudal Japan all my life. Or at least since the start of Ezio’s journey in Assassin’s Creed II, proving that we could go anywhere in time and place in a sequel. It felt like a no-brainer to immediately set a game where shinobi and assassins collide.

Well here we are again. WWE 2K25 follows last years really rather great iteration with another singular focus on the wrestler who is ‘so hot right now’, this time the mighty Roman Reigns. I wish I knew who this person was, I’d probably have more to say. Ergo, I’m coming in blind and, much like last year, I’m going to focus primarily on just how goddamn good this package is for WWE fans, because I can’t imagine they could have asked for more.

Every so often, a game comes along that rewrites the rulebook. Split Fiction is one of those rare gems—a genre-bending roller coaster bursting with imagination and razor-sharp mechanics. From the opening moments, it grabs you, keeps you on your toes, and refuses to let go until the credits roll. A Mind-Bending World That Refuses to Stay the SameOne of Split Fiction’s greatest strengths is its unpredictability. The game never lingers in one setting, tone, or gameplay style for too long.

Spilled! is a perfect example of why the indie space of video games is so fantastic. It’s less than an hour long, uses a tiny handful of easy-to-grasp mechanics and is a light, bright and easygoing time. None of which would work as a concept, never mind a fully fledged project, in the AAA space. Taking on what is a fairly significant global talking point right now, it sets sail with the player to demonstrate the power of cleaning up our oceans, one small oil slick at a time.

Given how bizarre a concept that the first one was, would it surprise anyone that the launch around Death Stranding 2: On The Beach was going to be anything but a little extra? No, of course it wouldn’t. Following on from the events on Death Stranding, which I couldn’t recap in enough words here, Kojima is back with more oddness than you can shake an Odradek at.

Nostalgia is dangerous. It makes you think things were better than they actually were. It convinces you that old-school 3D game design is “timeless” when, in reality, it’s just outdated. And Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered proves exactly that. This collection brings back The Last Revelation, Chronicles, and Angel ofDarkness with a fresh coat of paint. Visually, they look better than ever.

Fun fact (okay, maybe not ‘fun’?): I nearly trained as a paramedic shortly before covid. I have always been incredibly grateful for the NHS, and the paramedics who do such a stellar job. Every paramedic type show has me at the edge of my seat. Ambulance: A Paramedic Simulator was an easy yes to checking it out. Is it a lifesaving experience? Or DOA?

If Caesar himself had been as flimsy and turgid as Shieldwall, there would have never been a need for dear old Brutus to launch a plot. Nope, instead, Caesar would have likely slipped on a beautiful Roman banana in the market and impaled himself on a tree, or something. Shieldwall is one of those little games where I can see the idea behind it, but the delivery is up to the same standard as having your package launched over your roof by an Evri driver.

The opening scenes of Afterlove EP, a new visual novel rhythm game from Pikselnesia, will hit you pretty hard in the feels. The lead character, Rama, suffers a bereavement as his doting girlfriend Cinta passes away, only to reappear as a voice in his head that will not let him process grief properly at all. If you know that the lead writer passed away during the development of this game, it hits even harder.
