Life is Strange has persisted for more than a decade, with sequels, spinoffs, and supernatural side stories.
The series finally comes to a close as we see Max and Chloe reunited once more in Life is Strange: Reunion. But is it the send-off the series deserves?

Fifty-one per cent of gamers in Australia are women. And yet, many gaming spaces still feel as though they were built without them in mind.
Join Molly to explore how women in gaming are carving out space for one another, even when the path is not straightforward.

Can't make it to the Lizzies tonight as Jetstar cancelled my flight at the last minute.
But they still have the audacity to send me this notification. 😑
Australia is quickly earning a reputation for some of the best #indiegames in the world, but did you know we also have a bustling tabletop dev scene as well?

Since its release, Pokémon Pokopia has captured the hearts of players with its cozy voxel world.
But like venturing through Viridian Forest, you'll encounter quite a few bugs that disrupt you from building your own island utopia.

Take the MCU, add some R-rated saucy satire, remove most of the clothes, and the end result is Marvelous The Show: A Risqué Parody.
Is this sexy stage show worthy of America's ass, or should it be snapped by Thanos? Join @captrophyhunter.bsky.social to find out: www.qualbert.com/reviews/marv...
genAI assets in games is just cutting corners
a technology that costs all the money in the world, drives a fossil fuel resurgence, and requires stealing everyone’s creative output to work and its big innovation is “devs can make things faster if they lower their standards”
A Lone Pine Screenshot of Izzie doing a fist pump. The text says: "One day to go! Steam demo launch 24 March 2026, 8AM PT"
If you yearn for the pines, get excited! The Lone Pine demo is out tomorrow! 🌲
Channelling the frantic 4-player energy of Left 4 Dead, John Carpenter's Toxic Commando delivers a tongue-in-cheek zombie-slaying fest.
Does it have the staying power without revolutionising the 4-player shooter genre? Go commando in our review to find out: www.qualbert.com/reviews/john...
From solo dev, @fyregames.bsky.social, Project Songbird weaves a compelling first-person horror packed with mature themes and a chilling twist.
Does its narrative soar, or is this songbird destined to be caged? Find out in our review: www.qualbert.com/reviews/proj...

Review bombing an exceptional game over a balancing patch that you don't agree with is some real entitled gamer energy. 😒
Holy shit. This might just be my best Slay the Spire build ever!
Took down an Act 3 boss in just 2 turns.
Absolutely. I would love to see the time-on-page stats for a site like IGN and how much of the user activity is scrolling to the bottom of the page to see the number.
When only 9s and 10s are considered favourable and a perfectly reasonable review aggregate score of 78/100 is viewed a failure by shareholders, you know something is deeply wrong with the metric.
Review scores really do so much more harm than good. I dream of a world without them.
One day that number won't be 0. I promise. ❤️
I just checked my game sales after being inspired by that solo dev who went viral for making $250K in his first week 💸💸

From yandere dating sims to '90s freefall roguelikes (and everything else in between), there's a game for every taste. And we guarantee even a few you've never seen!

Having had to work on the Quest over the last couple years and navigate all the bloat that was Horizon Worlds, I say good riddance.
It was atrocious and a blatant waste of money. The only good thing was that Meta provided grants to a heap of devs to make worlds on their shitty platform.
Starring Liam Neeson alongside Joe Keery, Cold Storage is a B-grade horror flick that's low on budget and high on entertainment.
Is it worthy of the cult classic vault, or should it be locked away and forgotten? Join @captrophyhunter.bsky.social to find out: www.qualbert.com/reviews/cold...
Loved the demo for this - if you're media/a creator who loves addicting roguelikes and watching big number go up, get your key request in!
Imagine being NVIDIA's PR team and seeing the CEO go off and say whatever the hell he wants, and it's your job to clean up his mess.
If you have to defend yourself by saying everyone else is "all completely wrong", maybe take a step back and consider whether you're the one who's wrong.
