I picked up The Rogue Prince of Persia again after playing it a bunch last year and hell, what a damn fine roguelite with fantastic platforming sprinkled in!

Please don't sleep on this gem 🥹

First post of 2026 and I'm here to tell you that I've played way too much ARC Raiders over the last few weeks, and that I'm hopelessly addicted.

... yes, even after that one dude murdered me at extract after I befriended and protected them for basically the entire run 😤

This week on Checkpoint Chat, we check out the long-awaited return of Ryu in Ninja Gaiden 4. The Outer Worlds 2 is also out and reminding us that Fallout New Vegas was pretty damn good, and so is this latest Obsidian role-playing game set in capitalist space hell.

I'm only like two months late, but I wrote a teeny-tiny (long) review for Hollow Knight: Silksong – a game that took 7 years to make.

Spoiler: it was SO worth the wait! Here's why 👇

Hollow Knight: Silksong Review – Seamless Seamstress - Pfangirl.com
Looooong-awaited sequel and metroidvania Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now. The big question is whether small studio Team Cherry were able to thread the needle again?

I would 100% be okay with Team Cherry taking a break from Metroidvanias to do a platformer 👀

It's finally happened; we've played Silksong! Borderlands 4 is also here and attempting to steer the franchise's ship straight again, Prince of Persia gets another great game, and Gears of War is... on PlayStation?

My review of an action roguelite developed fresh in our very own South Africa is up!

Nice work, @yellowlabgames.bsky.social 💛
Gaming plans sorted with the release this week of Metavoidal, a music-themed roguelite for PC (and soon Xbox).

Even better, it's South African made, by @YellowLabGames.

Here's our review, by @MatthewFig
Metavoidal Review – Cymbal of Salvation
It's time to rock on, and squeeze in one more run, with the release of metal-themed roguelite Metavoidal, from South African developers Yellow Lab Games.
