I played the first game, and it's all your basic hand-holding stuff to start out with.Sometimes you just gotta vent. This week, we're airing all our grievances with gaming and computing in 2025.

Microsoft, and specifically the Xbox division, has been in a bit of a weird state for some time. With the pivot away from exclusives, a former Xbox team member declared "Xbox hardware is dead", and it's easy to see why.

There are certainly some complaints about the big M's latest operating system, and some common complaints, too.Gripes Week(Image credit: Future)We're...
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is maybe one of my favourite games of this year—it's certainly in the running—which I hope reassures you that I mean this with all the love in the world. It surprises me not one itty-bitty bit that Guillaume Broche, creative director of the game, says he "likes really sad stories".That's per a recent interview Broche had with BehindTheVoice (seen below). Spoilers for the game's endings to...

It makes for a fascinating insight into how different things...
