Or even because I witnessed a man being torn apart by rabid citizens in the middle of the street. I feel awful because I’m avoiding my daughter’s cry for help – but I have a good excuse. Instead of sticking to the main storyline I’m exploring the open world of Union, the small and not-so-quiet town at the centre of The Evil Within 2. My search is rewarded with a valuable flashback, which ends up being the bridge between Evil Within and its sequel. Every single time I think I’m about to be faced

The giant red hero with a thing for cats, Hellboy, is the big DC name heading up Injustice 2’s next Fighter Pack DLC. He’s joined by the evil Black Manta and Mortal Kombat’s Raiden.

He’s one of DC’s supervillains – most often seen battling Aquaman – and he has a couple of origin stories. You’ll get to see Black Manta gameplay on Twitch on

Saying anything even vaguely negative about the JRPG series Ni no Kuni is difficult. The good news is Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom has built a slicker, better combat system to go alongside the still-disarming visuals.

After getting to try out both sections and do some minor exploring and a little cutscene appreciation, I’m ready to commit to a

I mean, I don’t know about you, but I’m curious to learn more about this Ear

The 4K future being offered by Xbox One X looks amazing but at a slight cost to your hard drive: really big file sizes. For example, Forza Motorsport 7 is a 100GB download if you want the full fat 4K experience. It’s basically a way of reducing the footprint a game will have on your storage space. As Ybarra explains things, it picks and choses what’s stored on you HDD and keeps the rest elsewhere. The technology effectively says, “‘Hey, here’s the bits you need for this section’ and keep[s] the
