Strange Scaffold's latest game has a lot of drive, but its poor controls and uninteresting gameplay had @stopcar.ing hitting the brakes instead.

Holly Hughes-Rowlands looks into Sony's decision to cancel physical game disk production, and how it may impact players moving forward.

When @hollydrivethru.bsky.social started playing Valkyrie Saga, it didn’t impress. But after spending some time with the game, the platformer’s idiosyncrasies began to grow on her.

The Incident at Galley House upholds the strengths of Type Help, but falters with its new material. @lesbiankakyoin.bsky.social reviews.

Aphelion’s character-centric focus comes at the expense of its environmental messaging. @thetenthletter.bsky.social reviews.

Skin Deep's music is a mix of fictional commercial jingles, techno sea shanties and Bond-esque melodrama that works remarkably well. @kellymerka.bsky.social interviews Priscilla Snow about creating the soundtrack for Nina Pasadena's exploits. www.startmenu.co.uk/home/skin-de...

Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era successfully evokes the peak of this classic series with a wealth of polished content right from the start of its early access period. @bigbovy.bsky.social reviews.

D-topia is a thoughtful exploration of a world ruled by AI. While it might be too subtle for its own good in places, it endeavours to highlight humanity’s need for imperfection. @lesbiankakyoin.bsky.social reviews. www.startmenu.co.uk/home/review-...

Moonlight Peaks is an exercise in suffering disguised as a spooky-cute farming game. @lesbiankakyoin.bsky.social reviews.

Hey, remember June? Some news happened then. Some of it was good… but most of it was bad. @wendeego.bsky.social did their best to round up as much as they could. Check it out in the latest Update Patch [Patreon Unlock]. www.startmenu.co.uk/home/patreon...

Tavern Talk Stories: Dreamwalker outstays its welcome with lengthy, uninteresting character conversations and a mixology minigame that quickly becomes repetitive. @wordsmaybe.bsky.social reviews.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is brimming with pedigree and promise; however, @brandoncraw.bsky.social found himself mostly struck by how in-depth the game’s story and progression seem to be after playing it at Summer Game Fest. www.startmenu.co.uk/home/sgf-pre...

Microsoft's chaotic "reset" has officially kicked off, heralding countless potential layoffs and studio closures. @wendeego.bsky.social rounds up as much as he can, alongside some remaining SGF stories, and more, in this week's Update Patch. www.patreon.com/startmenu/po...

Brandon Craw (@brandoncraw.bsky.social) got some hands-on time with Stranger Than Heaven’s combat system at Summer Game Fest this year, and while fighting in the game feels full of new ideas, the game’s objectionable casting of Tupac and Snoop Dogg feels comparably dated and played out.

Bubsy remains the fourth-wall-breaking, pantsless chatterbox many people love to hate. But in Bubsy 4D, @aguaspoints.bsky.social has found a lot to love for its own sake.
