Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve been playing over the past few days. This week, we’ve taken a strip to space to touch some appealing machinery; we’ve been revelling in FromSoftware’s much kinder gaming series; and Bertie has been being horrible to everyone in Baldur’s Gate 3.
What have you been playing?

Bertie’s Gate 3, PC
What never fails to amaze me about Larian’s role-playing epic – I’m quite confident calling it that now – is how much extra there always is. You think you’re tying off a loose end quickly, only to find that five hours later you’re still doing it. You dig down through a layer only to find more layers beneath it.

Act 3 exemplifies this. It’s the tying-off chapter, I like to think. Last night I was tying off Shadowheart’s companion quest – I’ll be honest, I thought she was already done, but no, apparently there’s more. Last night I met the leader of her holy order who felt betrayed by Shadowheart, so wanted me to hand her over for punishment. Fat chance! She’s my only spellcaster. I killed all the others; I can’t give her away.
