We’re coming to the end of the “get up obscenely early to watch Formula 1” season for UK fans, but that hasn’t been helped by F1’s decision to make the Chinese GP a sprint race, with a 4AM start time for the mini-race this morning. Having dutifully set my watch alarm to tap my wrist a few minutes before, I managed to sleep through it… but was then woken by a repeat alarm an hour later, and struggled to get back to sleep. All of the pain, none of the gain.
At least tomorrow’s race is at a more reasonable 8AM, eh?

Sadly, while it looks fantastic visually, Harold Halibut did not strike a chord for Ade in our review:
- Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom – PC – 8/10
- Harold Halibut – PS5, XSX|S, PC – 4/10
Beyond that, Dom gave his early impressions of No Rest for the Wicked by Ori developer Moon Studios, and it’s a great new take on the isometric action RPG. More confusing for him was Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, where he tried out the multiplayer beta for this footballing RPG.
Miguel opined that we should all be playing Trails Of Cold Steel 3 And 4 on PS5, while I clambered up mountains and scaled cliffs in the Ascent event for WWI shooter Isonzo.
Rounding things out as always, What We Played featured No Rest For The Wicked, Helldivers 2 & Stellar Blade.
