It’s been a few months now since I last ventured into the Commonwealth wasteland and despite my less than celebratory review of Fallout 4, I’ve been feeling the itch to explore it a little more. Thankfully, I’d already bought the Game of the Year edition which came with all the DLC for the game, so …

The Fate of Atlantis

It was with a bittersweet smile on my face that I came to the end of The Fate of Atlantis, the final piece of long-form DLC for Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. It’d been a long time coming; I started playing Odyssey back in mid 2020 and while I took a little break in playing between now …

Legacy of the First Blade

The Assassin’s Creed franchise has a pretty fair track record when it comes to downloadable content, I feel. Over the years we’ve seen Ubisoft use additional paid content as a vehicle to produce some impressive releases, on par with expansions of the sort that old PC games used to enjoy. They haven’t all been amazing, …

Batman: Arkham Episodes

Like every modern AAA release it seems Arkham Knight had no choice but to release alongside a season pass containing a stack of additional content. As our final foray into Rocksteady’s Arkham-verse, let’s take a look into the various pieces of extra story content, collectively titled the Arkham Episodes. Arkham Episodes (PC, PS4 [reviewed], Xbox …

Harley Quinn’s Revenge

I normally like these preambles to be vaguely introductory or to relay some sort of emotion I held before going in to a game, but this time I feel like it needs to be a touch different. Harley Quinn’s Revenge is a DLC epilogue to Arkham City and it feels impossible to discuss it fairly …

Assassin’s Creed IV: Freedom Cry

We're carrying on from where Black Flag left off, it's time for some more vaguely Assassin-themed piratical nonsense with Freedom Cry, a standalone expansion for Black Flag. Assassin’s Creed IV: Freedom Cry (PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One [reviewed]) Base Game: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Released Dec 2013 | Developed / Published: Ubisoft …

The Tyranny of King Washington

Assassin’s Creed is an inherently silly series. It’s a sci-fi with pretensions of being a historical action-drama that produces, with poe-faced seriousness, a narrative which posits all of history has been a never-ending conspiratorial war between Assassins and Templars, who are fighting over relics of an ancient, omnipotent precursor race. It’s utterly daft, which makes …

Mass Effect 3 DLC

From Ashes (Released Mar 2012) Mass Effect 3's first piece of DLC begins with a distress beacon on Eden Prime, back where the series started. Known for its extensive Prothean ruins; it is where Shepard first comes into contact with the precursor race through a hellish vision imparted by a beacon. This time around, the …
