Bertie finds himself immersed in Blue Prince on PS5, a game that’s evolved into a shared experience with his partner. What began as a turn-taking session has transformed into a collaborative journey, she navigates while he offers advice, though not always heeded. This dynamic reminds him of childhood gaming sessions, where watching a friend play felt just as engaging as holding the controller. Games like Blue Prince and Dark Pictures thrive on this passenger-friendly approach, making them perfect for shared playthroughs. The nostalgia of shouting “hide!” during Ultima Online still lingers, proving some gaming habits never fade. Now, Blue Prince evenings have become a cherished routine.
Meanwhile, Donlan’s rediscovered Fortnite on the Switch 2, where the upgraded hardware breathes new life into the battle royale. The current map’s open spaces and lush greenery provide a refreshing change from cluttered arenas. Even if most opponents are bots, the thrill remains, like a recent tunnel ambush where four enemies converged from all sides, creating an unforgettable firefight. The Switch 2’s smoother performance makes Fortnite feel revitalized, pulling players back into its chaotic charm.
Tom O remains hooked on Rematch, Sloclap’s competitive football title, despite frustrations with ball-hogging teammates. A recent 3v3 match turned into an underdog story: down 4-1 and a player short, his duo staged a stunning comeback to tie the game in the final seconds. Though victory slipped away at the last moment, the sheer drama of the match, complete with a volleyed equalizer, cemented Rematch as a game where every match can deliver heart-stopping moments.
