‘Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong’ review: a complex adventure occasionally too clever for its own good
The problem with being a few hundred years old, and an undead vampire with vast wealth and influence, is that a lot of people want to kill you. It’s a fact of daily un-life for the heroes of Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong, Big Bad Wolf’s hybrid tabletop RPG and adventure game, but their cursed misfortune is our benefit. This vast web of lies and deception is an ideal setting for Swansong’s intense, choice-driven story, and while some of those choices are less influential than you might hope, the moment-to-moment action and narrative payoff make this one of the best Vampire: The Masquerade stories and an excellent adventure game.

‘MultiVersus’ preview: clever character design shines in a brawler fit to take on ‘Smash’
I’m a Velma main. Instead of using punches and kicks to take down foes, I spout bubbles of sass and collect evidence in order to unmask them. And when I’ve got enough clues, I reveal their true identity and send them barrelling off the map with a police escort. Such intricate, character-driven stories sound unlikely in the chaos of modern competitive fighting games, but not in MultiVersus, Player First Games’ ambitious entry into a genre currently dominated by Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros.
