Final Fantasy's XIV Symphony finally made its way to Western shores last week, delivering a melodic masterpiece with strong ties to the game's storied history.

Starlink's toys to life aspect overshadow an incredibly deep and thoughtful game, which will hopefully start making itself more widely known soon.

Sekiro is also utterly gorgeous thanks to its Japanese palette that mixes bloodshed with mythology, and the increased sense of aggression and adventure makes for a very different game when compared to its predecessors that were developed at From Software. Naturally, I had some questions. Fortunately, From Software’s Yasuhiro Kitao and his translator had some answers for me, when we chatted during an E3 2018 session where a lengthy slice of Sekiro was shown off behind closed doors.

Skull and Bones ramps up the speed and action to its sea-based combat, which makes it skirmishes on the high seas incredibly engrossing.

There’s a ton of work that goes into E3 every year to produce all of that content, work that results in many a sleepless night and boots being thrown at heads as we cracked on until the wee hours of the morning. I’m not complaining mind you, because I frigging love it.

Strange Brigade feels punchier and more livelier in its current incarnation, giving the game plenty of energy while it doubles down on its noirish adventure themes that provides a layer of humour that few games have these days.

Kalypso Media's Shadow's Awakening is a fantastic-looking RPG that'll scratch any traditional itch for the fantasy enthusiast. It'll also throw a few new ideas into the mix, as it gives players the ability to be a one-man demonic army.

One of the more interesting things I stumbled on at E3 this year was the Polymega, from PlayMaji. It’s a modular set-top retro console that’ll help collectors preserve their games from multiple as well as play them, without having to switch between systems all the time.
