It’s criminal this will probably never get a sequel (Ubisoft) This month’s additions to the PS Plus game catalogue include one of the best Metroidvanias in recent years and a trio of retro PS1 games. Back when Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown was announced in 2023, fans seemed to have a thoroughly negative opinion of it.

Virtual boyfriends are all the rage (Infold Games) A surprising amount of research has gone into a new dating simulator, where the heartthrob male leads offer support and advice to would-be suitors. Dating simulators are often overlooked by the games industry but the sub-genre is arguably one of the most inclusive and considerate, between the likes of Boyfriend Dungeon and Hatoful Boyfriend – where you romance sentient birds. One popular dating sim, titled Love And Deepspace, caught people’s attention earlier … Continue reading “Dating sim has a period tracker designed with help from gynaecologists”
