Trailblazers Review – Splatvroom

If you enjoyed the first Pillars of Eternity, then there’s a damn good chance you’ll mine even more enjoyment out of the sequel. Quite a few of the smaller niggling issues that hampered the first game have been addressed, and you’re certainly not as burdened to remember nearly as much history to understand character motivations. If you’re new to the franchise, you’ll be a bit under pressure to read up on characters and events from the first game, but it caters to new players (or those who have simply forgotten everything from the first game) well enough, is one of the best story-telling experiences I’ve had in recent memory, and is otherwise bloody fantastic isometric RPG.
The Merc With the Mouth is back! Unicorns beware! After breaking both box office records and preconceptions on what a Hollywood superhero movie should be like back in 2016, Deadpool 2 is here to see if Ryan Reynolds can catch lightning (and probably some farts) in a bottle again.

The first issue of Harbinger Wars 2 sets the stage for the most shocking, most violent, and most consequential clash of powers ever witnessed in the history of the Valiant Universe.
The Dragon of Dojima returns for one more adventure, with the stakes higher and more personal than ever in this touching farewell to a Yakuza legend. With a tale that closes the book on a long-running saga, Kiryu’s farewell results in a story that is as satisfying to watch as its gameplay is as underwhelming to consume.
There’s a lot to love about South Park: The Fractured But Whole. The action is clever, the humour is even smarter and the quiet little mountain town is still as charmingly familiar as ever when you’re not busy farting your way out of danger.
Cooking for your family is one of the most important responsibilities in daily life, …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves! The only thing more frightening, is a glimpse at your empty bank account when it comes to deciding whether or not you can grab Resident Evil Village this month. Capcom's successor to its long-running survival-horror franchise is finally out, and if you've read our review then you know the game is a winner on multiple levels.
