Milano’s Odd Job Collection review

There’s something quietly delightful about revisiting a strange, long-forgotten gem – and Milano’s Odd Job Collection feels exactly like that: a little oddball secret finally emerging from obscurity. The game casts you as 11-year-old Milano, stranded alone for the summer in her uncle’s empty house, and tasks you with transforming her lonely 40-day stay into something meaningful: part-time jobs, chores, decorating the house, caring for a cat and even milking flying cows. That premise alone could’ve veered into melancholy or overly whimsical, but the new version we’ve been playing lands squarely in the former’s cozy, slice-of-life territory: innocent, absurd, silly, but always endearingly earnest.

A Game About Digging A Hole review (PS5)

When you boot up A Game About Digging A Hole on PS5, you get exactly what the title promises – you dig a hole. But what starts as a modest, almost meditative act of scraping away backyard dirt soon evolves into something faintly absurd and quietly compelling: a slowly deepening descent into mystery, grime, and hidden secrets. On the surface, it’s a humble simulator about digging. Underneath, it becomes surprisingly earnest, even a bit eerie at times. Continue reading “A Game About Digging A Hole review (PS5)”

Total War: Warhammer III – Tides of Torment review (PC)

The Tides of Torment DLC for Total War: Warhammer III arrives as another ambitious expansion from Creative Assembly and SEGA, adding three new Legendary Lords who tap into very different corners of Warhammer’s world. It’s a character-driven pack that aims to broaden campaign variety rather than deliver a new unified narrative, with each Lord leaning heavily into mechanical identity. The result is a bundle where flavour and thematic cohesion land well, even if the mechanical depth and pacing vary across its components.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond review (Switch)

From the moment Metroid Prime 4: Beyond boots on the Nintendo Switch 2, there’s a sense of weight – of legacy, expectation, and the hope that the long wait might finally pay off. And for the most part, it does. The game delivers long stretches of that atmospheric, slow-burn exploration and tension that defined the original trilogy, marrying it with modern polish and a few smart new ideas that often enrich the core Metroid experience.

DLC roundup: Company of Heroes 3, Two Point Museum & Mount & Blade: Bannerlord

This week’s look at recent DLC drops highlights how varied expansions can reshape familiar experiences, with each add-on pushing its parent game in a distinct direction. From Company of Heroes 3’s Endure & Defy deepening tactical skirmishes through its new Battlegroups, to Two Point Museum’s Zooseum weaving wildlife care into the series’ offbeat management loop, and Bannerlord’s War Sails opening the seas to full naval warfare, the range on display shows how much mileage developers can still find in established foundations.
