Assassin's Creed Valhalla- The Best Assassin's Creed in Years, But You're Still Not an Assassin
Thanks to Ubisoft for the early review code (PS4). This isn't my full review because I've not finished playing it so this is just some of my impressions as I answer some of your biggest questions.
Huge thanks to this month's top Patreon Supporters

Steam’s cracked down on certain types of games that expose certain body parts recently. Since they’ve been doing that, developers have been offering fans instructions on workarounds that allow them to get round Steam’s censors and see those exposed body parts. Now, Steam isn’t allowing that to happen anymore.

Pokemon GO did the world a lot of good. It got people to leave their houses for once, go on adventures, meet new people and just enjoy life to the fullest. But the British tabloid media seems to have a grudge against Pokemon GO and they're saying the game is responsible for a 30 man brawl in Surrey which as it turns out is completely untrue.
So next time you play Pokemon GO, your grandparents will think you're one of those rowdy youths of today!

Ontario Hockey League players have been told to remove all mention of Epic Games’ Fortnite from their social media as it is a “major distraction”. Life is Strange developers Dontnod have stressed that narrative devices used in their upcoming third person adventure game ‘Twin Mirror’ are not an analogy for mental health. Riot Games have issued a statement responding to issues of toxicity in the workplace, and EA games pledges $1,000,000 to those affected by the Jacksonville shooting.

God of War is Sony Santa Monica’s next game and is out exclusively on the PS4 on April 20. Kratos is back, joined by his son Atreus, in what’s described by some reviewers as the game of the generation. It’s the highest rated game of 2018 so far at 94 on metacritic base on 75 critics at the time of recording. This is a big moment for the PS4. Let’s talk about it.

So, the foot has spoken. Loot boxes in videogames are not legally definable as gambling - they’re more like collectable card packs. You are guaranteed to get something for your money. Let’s talk about that.

EA did a big investor call this week to talk about how much money they’ve made. They revealed a lot of things, like the fact Star Wars Battlefront 2 underperformed and microtransactions will be coming back soon. Anthem is delayed, but it’s not a delay, delay, it’s the kind of delay that’s good. It’s not a bad delay, alright? It’s not delay. Also they revealed when we can expect Respawn’s Star Wars game and the next Battlefield game. Anthem is not delayed.

Evolve, the asymmetric 4 v 1 shooter that had loads of pre-order DLC (remember?), is effectively dead. The free to play mode is going, dedicated servers are getting shut down and only those who bought the game before it went free to play will be able to play - and that will be based on peer-to-peer. In other news, State of Decay 2 has had a massive patch that’s basically the size of the entire game.
