New lands to explore, new gyms to conquer and new trainers to meet. Bollocks to that, I want to know which Pokémon I can get my hands on in Pokémon Sword and Shield’s upcoming Isle of Armor expansion! This week’s latest trailer drop for the upcoming expansion didn’t just reveal when the DLC will release (June 17 in case you weren’t paying attention), but also which new Pokémon forms you’ll be able to see in action. They all look fantastic, save for Venusaur who once again gets the short end of the stick.

0

There’s a good game buried within Those Who Remain’s many shortcomings, but it blunders the final hundred meters of its dash for survival like a sorority girl outrunning a slasher in a forest filled with tree roots. Repetitive scenarios of item-hunting tarnish the more ingenious puzzles you’re presented with, horror clichés sour an otherwise wonderfully tense atmosphere and a control scheme from hell drags a promising game back into the shadows, never to be seen again.

By Darryn Bonthuys

Maneater plays its hand early, as the novelty of being an almost unstoppable apex predator thrown into an unforgiving ocean doesn’t have much depth to it. What Maneater does have though, is a meaty world worth exploring, a fascinating system of evolution and whip-smart writing that adds colour to your deep blue killing spree.
