This review was written with patch 1.02 installed. A Disappointing Title With Squandered Potential We Happy Few should be one of the best games released this year. The sickly hedonistic visuals and intriguing story tease echoes of Bioshock’s creepy atmosphere while maintaining enough originality to make it a bold, unique game unlike much else out there. Much like its procedurally generated brethren No Man’s Sky, We Happy Few is a title that needed another year in development to really harness the potential this game had to offer....

Monday Remains The Most Hated Day Despite an interesting premise and an action packed plot, What Happened To Monday ultimately falls into the category of generic action thriller. Its a shame too as it starts promisingly enough but quickly becomes a gun-fest of action set pieces with little time for characterisation or embracing the interesting world the characters inhabit. The ending feels a little too rushed, there’s a few plot holes and despite a pretty nice twist and the impressive feat of having one actor play seven roles, the film just feels run-of-the-mill and doesn’t stand out next to other action titles....

True Intentions After last night’s dramatic episode, When The Camellia Blooms returns with another strong and emotional episode as we find out the real reason Dongbaek’s mother has come back.

We begin with Ms Kwak running down the street after finding out about the fire before flashing back to 1987 when her husband died in a fire....

Although the incident could not gain too much international recognition owing to the Second World War, it takes center stage in Amsterdam. Having seen it, you must be wondering if there will be a sequel to the film in the coming times. Here is what we know about a potential sequel that could take place. Will there be a sequel to Amsterdam? The answer right now – and most probably even after a lot of time – is not right now....

A perfect example of how to modernize an aging RPG format Yakuza: Like a Dragon is the perfect example of how to modernize an aging RPG format. While you could argue that games like Persona stand out for its aesthetic flair and epic story, Yakuza chooses against epicness and grandiose scale in favour of something more grounded and human; a game that absolutely knocks it out the park while still remaining true to its roots....

The Cold, Hard Truth Russell T. Davies’ bleak, dystopian drama feels like a plunge into an ice-cold bath of despair.

We return to the near-future this week with New Year celebrations. Danny and Vik are engaged and he plans to move out to Spain to be with his lover....

Satisfaction Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist returns this week and switches its focus to that of Zoey’s boss Joan, as we see a stand-alone chapter and a clue as to how most of these episodes are likely to play out for the rest of the season.
