Some are definitely tarnished Elden Ringis nothing if not about perseverance - and also extremely good recreations of famous people using the in-game character creator. There’s a whole community over on Reddit –r/SoulsSliders– who’ve dedicated themselves to showing off their latest masterpieces, like, for example this horrifically photorealistic version ofRickfrom Rick And Morty, because of course. Elden Ring allows for needlessly deep customisation - see also Ed’s post abouta terrifying Sonic player- so there are genuinely some incredible creations on display....

Only slightly foxed Pals, we’ve got the jump on a new story trailer forFixFox, an almost distastrously nice game that really deserves the oft-misapplied adjective “wholesome”. This story trailer is a bit of a tease, in that it doesn’t really de-mystify any of the elements of the game that I found most mystifying in my earlier preview, but it definitely does give you a flavour of the kind of adventures and quick-fixes you get into as Vix the space mechanic....

The one and oni I’ve been having a grand old time inGhostwire: Tokyo, rescuing lost spirits and finger-gunning umbrella men. As Matthew’sreviewnotes, there’s a lot of busywork, but Tango Gamework’s rain-slicked rendition of the Japanese capital is quite the place to explore. And to gawp at, even if you don’t have the hardware for its fanciest ray tracing capabilities. Indeed, despite some spooky-lookingsystem requirements, Ghostwire: Tokyo can run well on older or lower-spec builds, just as surely as it gets the most out of the verybest graphics cards....

Absolutely maidenless behaviour Slight story spoilers forBig George’s Ring Fit AdventureElden Ring, probably. The lumbering forms ofElden Ring’s trolls disguise an ancient melancholy. Turned traitors in the war between demigods and giants, their reward for loyalty to the Golden Lineage was an eternity in shackles, used as frontline fodder in bloody conflicts or beasts of burden hauling funereal carriages around the Lands Between. Since learning their history, I often muse sadly upon it, as I weave between their horribly gnarled legs in my freshly tarnished underwear and hoover up the shiny objects scattered underneath their feet....

It’s called the N And R Rarity Festival I grew up watching the anime adaptation of Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I would be lying if I said I understood much ofanythingabout it anymore. Apparently, it’s also a card game. When was this? When did this come in? Anyway, its digital equivalentYu-Gi-Oh! Master Duelis hosting a limited-time event called the N And R Rarity Festival, which begins today. All the cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! have tiers, and in this case, N and R stands for Normal and Rare....

It’s not horror! It’s… Sekiro meets Hollow Knight? The Taiwanese studio Red Candle Games have put upa crowdfunding pagefor their latest projectNine Sols, and it looks promising. It’s an action platformer with gorgeous hand-drawn animation work, and as Red Candle put it, it’s “a journey of Asian fantasy inspired bySekiro,Hollow KnightandKatana Zero.” That’s me sold. And clearly a lot of other people agree too, becauseNine Solsbroke its goal of three million Taiwanese dollars (that’s roughly £80,000)within 24 hours....
