There has never been a time where the presence of a big Hollywood celeb making an appearance in a video game has drawn me in.And yet here we are with Matthew McConaughey, a man who is happily lending his voice to some AI software, in Exodus, a game that's basically just another Mass Effect from some folks who actually made Mass Effect.Said folks would like you to know that McConaughey's performance is all him, thanks very much.

The devs behind Bradley the Badger want it to be the video game industry's satire moment
Satire is a genre that you find often enough in mediums like film and television, but there is an argument to be made that it doesn't happen as often in games, and that maybe, this is due for a reckoning.This is the argument that Davide Soliani (Mario + Rabbids) and Christian Cantamessa (Red Dead Redemption) are making about the game they're co-directing, Bradley the Badger, a comedic, half-throwback, half-fresh-take platformer revealed at The Geoff Keighley Night this week.

The Rogue Prince of Persia parkours around Hades in its own roguelite lane
In a year where Hades II dominated the roguelite headlines, Evil Empire's The Rogue Prince of Persia slipped by largely unnoticed.This is the second time Supergiant's game overshadowed The Rogue Prince, with both titles entering early access at similar times last year.In fact, the story you may best remember of Evil Empire's game was the frothing criticism of the Prince's art style – a unique blend influenced by Arabic miniatures, Mœbius comics, and the purple-skinned sprites from the 1990 PC CGA port of the first Prince of Persia game.

Avowed's facial mushrooms hide a fantasy romp that's well worth your time: disagree and my arquebus awaits
While I'm not going to argue that Obsidian's fantasy RPG matches the depth of the genre’s topline measuring sticks, your Baldur’s Gates, your Witchers, your New Vegases, it did provide me a good time in 2025.I found the world of Eora - with its mushrooms, sprawling coastlines, dense forests, arid deserts, and more mushrooms - colourful and varied enough to whet my appetite for exploration.Combat was satisfying enough that I looked forward to each opportunity to whip out my trusty blunderbuss and characters were engaging enough that hanging out with them in camp was a pleasant way to while away evenings.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's director has one key, and likely familiar, word to keep in mind for part 3
I am most certainly the kind of sucker that has few complaints about Final Fantasy 7 Remake being split into multiple parts.I love my grumpy idiot all too realistic looking Cloud, I think Midgar being so well realised helps to justify the splitting of the game, and as maximalist as Rebirth is, there's a quality to it I can't help but admire, even with its many flaws.Keeping things fresh is still something necessary in dividing the game up though, and in a recent interview, director Naoki Hamaguchi spoke of how he's trying to do that with the as-of-yet untitled third part.
