Carimara is a fantastic — and fantastically creepy — little indie that everyone should play this spooky season.

"I’ve been wrestling with this truth that I have far more negative to say about Silksong than positive, but that great art isn’t measured in points."

Just over a month after its release, @rygilliam.bsky.social grapples with Silksong in our review.

Hollow Knight: Silksong doesn't need to be perfect to be one of the best games of the year

The measure of a great game isn't about the inability to say negative things about it

We've played the new Demon Hunter spec in World of Warcraft: Midnight, Devourer!

It compliments the base class perfectly, and looks to be a great addition to one of WoW's most interesting classes.

Here are our impressions from the alpha.

World of Warcraft: Midnight's new purple Demon Hunter rounds out the class in the perfect way

It's like the normal Demon Hunter, but you can take a few steps back

Personally, I can't wait for the Mass Effect where I play as Cerberus, can only pick Renegade dialogue options, and my romance options are limited to the straightest people imaginable.
