Dispatch Review: With Great Power Comes Great Paperwork

Dispatch

by AdHoc Studio

AdHoc Studio's debut delivers one of the best narrative adventures in years. Dispatch blends workplace comedy, superhero drama, and genuine heart into an eight-episode package that'll have you planning your second playthrough before the credits finish rolling.

I Bought a Keyboard Because it Looked Like Candy (and My Wrists Regret It)

Logitech POP Keys Mechanical Keyboard

Driven by a COVID-era home office glow-up, I traded my boring setup for the eye-candy of the Logitech POP Keys. It’s a retro-inspired, emoji-loving mechanical keyboard that looks like a dream but types might requires a bit of force and attention.

Diablo 4 Season 11 Review – Divine Intervention Feels More Like Divine Repetition

Diablo 4

by Blizzard Entertainment

Diablo 4's eleventh season arrives with a familiar promise: new powers, new systems, and a fresh reason to grind through Sanctuary again. Season of Divine Intervention brings Lesser Evil invasions, Divine Gifts, a reworked itemisation system, and the long-awaited Paladin class. On paper, it sounds substantial. In practice, it's another season that follows the exact same formula Blizzard has been recycling since launch – and this time, they've locked the most exciting content behind a pre-order paywall.

Digging Together Review – Fun With Friends, Hollow Alone

Digging together

by Suber Game Studio

Digging Together is a budget-priced co-op game where you and up to three friends dig through the earth following your grandfather's treasure map. It's the kind of game that sounds perfect for a weekend session with mates – and in that specific context, it delivers some genuinely chaotic fun. But strip away the friends and the laughs, and what's left is a pretty bare-bones experience that struggles to justify its existence as a solo endeavour.

Path of Exile 2: Fate of the Vaal League Review – The Druid Finally Arrives

Path of Exile 2

by Grinding Gear Games

Path of Exile 2's fourth major update brings the long-awaited Druid class alongside a new league mechanic that draws heavily from PoE 1's beloved Incursion system. After two years of development following its Gamescom 2023 reveal, the Druid has finally clawed its way into Wraeclast – and it was worth the wait. The Fate of the Vaal league itself has had a rockier reception, though rapid patches from Grinding Gear Games have addressed many initial complaints.

The Hero Who Never Quite Rose to the Occasion

My Hero Academia (僕のヒーローアカデミア)

by Kōhei Horikoshi

My Hero Academia started as a 10/10 phenomenon but lost its way as its protagonist refused to grow up. Amazing world, brilliant side characters, but Deku never became the Symbol of Peace we were promised.

A Terraforming Dream That Runs Out of Steam Before the Finish Line

Planet Crafter

by Miju Games

Planet Crafter nails the concept of watching a dead rock transform into a living world, but the late-game grind and delayed automation systems hold it back from true greatness. If you love Satisfactory or Factorio, it's worth a look

The Chameleon

by Rikki Tahta

The Chameleon is the social deduction party game that'll have your mates accusing each other all night long. One player doesn't know the secret word and has to fake it while everyone else tries to catch them out.

Physical: Asia Review – Ripper Show That Goes Cooked with the Replay Cuts

Physical: Asia

by Netflix

Physical: Asia takes the bloody brilliant Physical: 100 formula and cranks it up to an international showdown featuring elite athletes battling for national pride and a lazy $700k. It's engaging enough to binge in a weekend, with fair dinkum athletic feats and decent team dynamics, but gets bogged down by repetitive Korean drama-style editing that'll have you going "yeah nah, we got it mate!" at your telly. Also, absolutely spewing that Australia came up short in the death match.

Octopath Traveler II Review - Eight Stories Done Right

Octopath Traveler II

by Square Enix, ACQUIRE Corp.

Octopath Traveler II takes everything good about the first game and refines it. Eight unique characters with surprisingly dark, mature storylines that tackle revenge, slavery, corruption, and survivor's guilt.
