I just finished Mankind Divided earlier this month. I think it has higher highs than Human Revolution but suffers from being the planned "middle game" in the trilogy. It has better gameplay than HR, some great levels and some really good side quests. Also a really well executed apartheid theme that played out really well.

I definitely recommend you playing it. It's not gonna be OG Deus Ex, but it's a good game.

It probably will, but I think it should be doable. I haven't tried it personally though so ymmv.

Pyro only isn't really possible without glitches or summons since Queelag is fire immune. But Sorcery+Pyro "spells only" should be fine. Enemies tend to be resistant to damage types, not general "magic", so if you can switch it up you're all good. Dukes archives shouldn't be a problem if using Pyromancy.

First your regular articles, and now an in-depth interview. And you dare suggest your not a proper gaming journalist?

Love your work as always.

I had no idea that existed but that looks absolutely fantastic. It'll wishlist that one for certain.

Pretty terrible article honestly.

With Alpine locked to the bottom of the Constructors' Championship, he wants short-term progress soon.

Having two strong drivers delivering consistently can have a significant impact – as Williams are seeing with their experienced line-up of Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz.

This narrative that it's the driver lineup making the difference is disappointing, especially from formula1.com. Gasly is a good driver and it's not like he's been raking in points. Alpine isn't last because they have a bad second driver.

Secondly, he wants the team to take advantage of sweeping changes to the aerodynamic and power unit regulations next season – and the arrival of Mercedes power, which is widely expected to be among the best, if not the best, engines next year.

Bringing on someone with Bottas' experience could help on both counts.

Maybe? As far as I understand it drivers have very limited impact on the development of the car these days. Plus, literally everything is new next year.

Thank you, I'll keep it in mind! I might slot it in as a palate cleanser between longer games.

Well, there is time to lose. 7ish hours main story and 20+ completionist is a pretty wide range. How many hours did it take for you?

This is the second really positive review of the game I've read the past few days. I might actually slot it into my backlog now.

Samantha Béart (who plays Karlach in the game), Theo Solomon (Wyll) and Dave Jones (Halsin) were asked how the success of the game had changed their lives and careers.

Okay listen I don't want to sound rude, but I'm not that surprised. Maybe Karlach deserves a bit more recognition but while both Wyll and Halsin were both fine and perfectly adequate, I can't say that either was the kind of memorable performance that gets you tons of new roles. Though it's also in part due to the script and direction of course.

I'm interested in trying Shenmue after it was (to me rather surprisingly) awarded the "Most Influential Game of All Time" award by BAFTA.

How do you play it there's days? Physical Dreamcast? Can you play it on PC? Emulator?
