September 28, 2018

Someone telling you about the Guernica before you see it doesn’t detract from your appreciation of it – quite the contrary: the more you know, the more powerful it becomes. But I feel I should include a spoiler warning [...]
We Happy Few game review: A stylish alt-history romp ruined by dated mechanics and bugs galore

September 20, 2018

Two years in early access saw We Happy Few transform from a procedurally generated survival sim to a Bioshock-esque narrative drama, with appropriately schizophrenic results. It presents an interesting spin on the ‘What if the Nazis won the war?’ trope, with the beleaguered residents of fictional British archipelago Wellington Wells placated with a drug called [...]

The Woods at Royal Court review: A bleak but powerful play about grief and madness

September 14, 2018

The last play I saw Lucy Morrison direct was Plaques & Tangles, a crushing tale about three generations of a family blighted by Alzheimers. It threw the audience into the sufferer’s mind, jolting back and forth in time, revealing itself only in fragments. Her latest play, Robert Alan Evans’ The Woods, takes the same techniques [...]
