Spirittea review: A calming blend of Stardew Valley and Studio Ghibli

One of my favourite things about making a pot of tea is the ritual of it. I love staring out of the kitchen window at the rain as the kettle boils. I love the way my cats, expecting food, get under my feet as I let the bag brew. I love settling down on the sofa and taking in a deep breath, enjoying the smell of a carefully prepared beverage that’s too hot to drink right now, and will inevitably be forgotten about....

Spyro is a name that evokes strong childhood memories for me and many other people. We could soar through the sky, take down our enemies, save the dayandlook cool whilst doing it; a golden gaming experience for sure. Yet there was a darkness lurking within those jolly pixels, of a greedy bear who snatched our gems away from us at every turn. Moneybags. Time to focus on the greatness ofSpyro Reignited Trilogyand not the greedy lies of a certain bear…...

Steam's new free game is a gorgeous blend of Pokémon and Zelda

There’s definitely a sense ofPokemonandDigimonblending together with the cute monsters in this RPG. Each creature has very distinct features and feels original, which is impressive when so many games lean hard into Pokemon as a formula.‘Porbles’ are the critters in this one, and like so many creature collection titles they can be battled against each other, though inPortal Fantasyit has more of a traditional JRPG direction.Pokemon has become a genre in its own right with so many creature collection games out thereAccording to theSteam page for Portal Fantasy, players will “Step intoPortal Fantasy, a creature capturing RPG where you can create worlds for others to explore....

In light of the success ofAssassin’s Creed Nexus, fans are wondering who else may return to the franchise in theNexussequel. A lot of fans are putting their money (figuratively speaking) on Edward Kenway featuring in the next game and, honestly, a lot of evidence supports that theory.

Arguably, it’sAC2’s Ezio that a lot of fans returned for, but the facts remain that delivering memories from some of the most popular assassins isUbisoft’s goal....
