Girl Mode

This week, we remember the halcyon days of when we cared about Final Fantasy 14, experience what it’s like to watch a gaming awards show that doesn’t make you want to claw your own eyes out, and discover that every once in a while a lesbian with a sword isn’t enough to make your game good.

Just because we haven't played Resident Evil: Requiem doesn't mean we can' talk about the discourse surrounding it and the franchise's odd position of rewriting vs reckoning with its past. Also: Silksong and Willa educating Robin on the Tom Cruise cake.

This week, everything is bad in the world of AAA, and not just for the usual reasons.
