The Lenovo Legion Go has dropped to its lowest-ever UK price on Prime Day 2024

Just £569 for the 512GB version of Lenovo’s shapeshifting handheld Not to mention the Legion Go’s party trick: the controllers detach, Nintendo Switch-style, with the right one able to turn into an improvised upright-style mouse. You’ll need a stable, flat surface to use this properly, a requirement that isn’t always forthcoming when you’re out and about, but I’ve found that with some practice it makes for a very workable combination of gamepad and classic mouse controllin’....

You're a better pilot than I if you can get this Mechwarrior meets HighFleet indie’s mech to do literally anything

Stairs, the mech’s natural foe We do love a good diegetic interface here at the treehouse, whether that’s the analogue radar twisties ofHighFleet, or the myriad hefty flickables ofPVKK(Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant. Duh.) Thefifth mech jamis currently happening over at Itch.io, and the clear standout for me thus far isArmored Shell Nightjar. It’s a first person pilot-em-up that puts you in the cockpit of a grasshoppery rust-bucket carrying out a critical mission on an industrial desert planet....

Like a Dragon: Yakuza series actor sees Kiryu as a heroic character who’s “starved for love”

“I had to create Kiryu from scratch,” says actor Ryoma Takeuchi If there’s one series that can be relied upon to dole out 80-hour helpings of joy straight into my eager face at regularly scheduled intervals, it’s theRPGbrawler stylings ofYakuza/Like A Dragon. One could, I believe, make a convincing argument forYakuza 0being - if not the best videogame ever made - then at least themostvideogame. While this coming October’s Amazon series won’t be thefirst live action adaptionofYakuza, I am hopeful its episodic format will give its characters a bit more room to breathe....

Once Human review: waiter, there’s some brilliant creature design in my big bland survival soup

Haunted fridges buy you a lot of goodwill, honestly So I’ve just hopped on my motorbike, enjoying one of several pleasingly incongruent classical musical tracks that plays from the radio, on my way to tick tasks off a list in the top right corner of my screen by scavenging an abandoned hospital. It’s a great hospital, by the way. Spotlight-headed phantasma shamble about corridors reminiscent ofThe Division 2orThe Last Of Us’snaturalia....

Schim review: plopping between shadows as a polterfrog makes for a very comforting puzzler

Hop to it Lots of games use frogs as a means to appeal to those who believe they are cute, me being one of those people. The humble croaker dominates the wholesome category, where they take centre stage infarming simsor as detectives or as green lads who hop over platforms and hurt enemies by lashing them with their tongues. Schimis different: you play as a frog of the shadows, not some green attention-seeker....

Swery's bloody gambling in Death Game Hotel won't be his only multiplayer game, he says

All my games are ‘eternally unfinished’ Death Game Hotelcame out last week - a comically gory game in which players play casino-style card games around a table and raise the stakes by betting their own limbs. It’s a VR game, which is a break from the norm for White Owls, the studio run by Hidetaka “Swery” Suehiro (then again, what is their “norm”?). It’s also got a big multiplayer component, with lots of jovial bubble-popping and chicken-squeezing between the comedy blood spurts....
