Halcyon 6: The Precursor Legacy

The original GTA’s prehistoric brand of open-world freedom is fascinating in the context of everything that’s come since, but it demands patience, precision, and a paper map by your side.

Grand Theft Auto 2 boasts a number of noticeable technical improvements over the original and feels far better to play, but I'm glad its odd and unrecognisable setting was a one-time experiment.

Replaying the pioneering 2001 classic 25 years later and paying tribute to the game that didn’t just change the trajectory of the GTA series forever – it changed the business.

LEGO Pokémon Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise is now available at Amazon (for, ahem, $650).

In an age where single-player first-person shooters are slowly going extinct because they only make money for their publisher once while multiplayer live-service shooters vie for our time and attention on a daily basis (and often contain lots of bullsh*t, like microtransactions and/or drawn-out gameplay loops), Metro 2039’s single-player-only craftsmanship and attention to detail after my first few hours with it have me already prepared to call it my favorite first-person shooter in a long time.
