I am not a creator. I’m no good at conceptualising things and even worse at putting them together, so on the surface, Super Mario Maker 2 doesn’t seem like something I’d enjoy. And, if we’re honest, when it comes to the game’s creation suite, it’s not. I’ve tried my hand at using the game’s ridiculously robust, easy-to-use toolset, but I’m …

A phone so good that it’s no wonder that America wants to kill it. The Huawei P30 Pro may have some slight drawbacks, but they’re miniscule when compared to a device that more than makes up for it with a rich feature-set, one of the very best cameras on the market today and a slick design that makes it feel like a premium flagship device.

There was a lot riding on Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, more than I think many people realise. Kickstarted back in 2015 and being helmed by Koji Igarashi, creative director of one of the greatest games of all time (Ever heard of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night?) expectations for this game’s release…well, I can imagine how daunting it must have …
