Key Fairyβs striking hand-drawn visuals, quirky score, and tight, satisfying gameplay create a truly unique experience
Our review: www.well-played.com.au/key-fairy-re...
Loved my time with Resident Evil Requiem. Grace is great, and Leon always delivers. It feels like Capcom has captured all the best bits of the recent games (mainline and remakes) to create an almost perfect action survival horror formula.
Sure he may have turned Xbox fortunes around after the Xbox One debacle, but both he and Bond have played a significant role in the state of the gaming industry today. A tenure remembered for consolidation, cancellations and mass layoffs.

Don't tell me I'm dreaming
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is swinging for the fences to prove that the 'Stories' sub-format of Monster Hunting is far from just a forgettable side experience

gee whiz i love this game
my own simple opinion
review: recommendation/critical thoughts (scored or unscored) on a game, product, thing
e.g. absolum is great 10/10
feature: a commentary article about a game, product, thing
e.g. how absolum devs made fighting feel so good
Ok this song is wild
The world is not ready for this collaboration when it lands tomorrow but I certainly am
Best game I played in 2025. Glad it won a couple prizes in the WellPlayed Game Awards, very much deserved.
After much deliberation, the winners are in for the WellPlayed Game Awards 2025
Game of the Year β Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
Congrats to @hideokojimaen.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp and @playstation.com
Code Vein II has the guts and grit to be a solid action RPG, but the points of frustration may not endear everybody to the challenges lying in wait
Our review: www.well-played.com.au/code-vein-ii...
Here are the games you should get around during the first release-heavy month of 2026
Like every year, there are some really promising games to keep an eye on from ANZ devs
The trusty old BenQ got taken by the green goblin last night. You will be missed.
First review for the year and it was a blast. @danthat.bsky.social and the team really delivered the goods with Earth Must Die
news to me but I loved Speedball 2100 on the PS1. might check it out. good find
Tons of banging looking games coming this year. Couple I've got my eye on are Resident Evil Requiem and Silver Pines. You'll never believe what else made the list!
It's always fun to write about upcoming point-and-click games, and there are some awesome looking titles coming this year
2026 is off to a cracking start for metal fans thanks to the debut album from Firsun. Highly recommend.

REVIEW // Nothing Ear (3)
"With its eye-catching design and a price of $299, the Nothing Ear (3) is a great option for anyone looking for a set of wireless earbuds that offers premium comfort, excellent audio quality, and an outstanding companion app, despite its bang average noise cancelling."
Still a bit surreal that Routine is out and I've played it. Absolutely incredible attention to detail in the retrofuturistic environment design, loved most of what I played except for a few gripes
clearly you weren't talking about Nintendo stuff in your DMs
