Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve been playing. This week, Bertie rekindles a career as a travelling salesperson; Tom Orry struggles to get his WiFi working; and Tom Phillips enjoys a refreshingly animal-friendly game.

Avowed, Xbox Series X (and briefly on Geforce Now)To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
I’m still loving Avowed, albeit in very small doses as I’ve been preoccupied reviewing Atomfall this week. To my shame I got a little bit distracted by Avowed visuals again, this time spending far too long spinning around to look at the ghosting on my wand as I moved. Now I’ve seen it I can’t unsee it, and it’s a real blight on an otherwise lovely looking game, and also impacts the grass and other parts of the world. I think it’s to do with the use of FSR to make the image look sharper, but it falls down badly when you move. Oh well, it’s not as if I’m going to stare at this forever and let it ruin an otherwise great game, is it.
