Top 10 Hardest Overwatch Trophies (Updated)
Over four years ago I wrote a list of the 10 hardest trophies to obtain in Overwatch. Back when I wrote the original list, there were 26 heroes, people were still trying to get used to Mercy's rework, Moira had just been released, and people were still actually playing the game. Several bad decisions and multiple controversies later and here we are with the release of Overwatch 2 somewhere in the fog. So, with the roster complete and the full 32 heroes post-reworks and major changes, I've decided to rank most difficult trophies to obtain once again, especially four years on from when I'd first achieved the platinum trophy. Like any article, everything in this list is my own opinion and if you managed to get 'The Floor is Lava' with your eyes closed whilst holding the controller upside down and only using the D-pad to move then good for you.

Dying Light Review
Almost anyone who’s even looked at a video game in the last 15 years could name a zombie-based game off the top of their head. The late 2000s and almost the entire of the 2010s were a resurgence period for the zombie genre, with Call of Duty acting as frontrunners in the genre after the surprise hit of the ‘Nacht der Untoten’ level in World at War, which only started out as a bonus level for after you’d completed the main campaign, but then went on to spawn several DLC maps, as well as being a regular game mode in future instalments of the franchise. With this, the decade after was nothing but zombies. Every big publisher probably has at least a few zombie games under its belt. Personally, thinking back to Call of Duty zombies gives me major anxiety as I was terrified of it but all of my friends would play it after school and I’d reluctantly join and pretend I was having fun. But I digress.

The Suicide Squad (2021) Review by someone who hates comic book movies
It's no secret to anyone that I harbour a hatred towards comic book films. The MCU is my version of Hell and the DCEU is just Marvel after dark. However, if you had a gun to my head and asked me to decide which one I preferred, I would have to say DC as it at least tries to break the mould of saccharine superhero simplicity, but that doesn't really mean much as my expectations for both companies are non-existent when it comes to judging the quality of their films (Although, I will say that Into the Spider-Verse was my favourite film of 2018). That said, while I find watching superhero films an exercise in torture, I fully understand why people enjoy them; they're pure escapist nonsense and that's fine. I'm just not one of those people but I wish I was.

Portable 'Overwatch'? How Does Blizzard Switch It up from Console and PC?
I've been a regular player of Overwatch since mid-2017 and I've racked up over 1000 hours during my many triumphs and even more failures. Since the game is over three years old, and has arguably been losing popularity over the last year, along with Blizzard's recent controversy over the Hong Kong protests, the transition of Overwatch into the world of handheld gaming couldn't have been at a more inopportune time.

'Avengers: Endgame' Review by Someone Who Doesn't Like Marvel
I've always felt like an outsider when it comes to my opinion on the "Marvel Cinematic Universe." To put it bluntly: I dislike it. A lot. Even after watching several entries in the now 22-film saga, I've never felt the same rush and excitement that everyone else seems to get when another entry is released. I was 12 when Iron Man (2008) was released and that straight away left a bitter taste in my mouth—and while I did enjoy Avengers Assemble (2012), it was a fleeting thing and the appeal wore off pretty quickly. But I digress.

Why 'Dark Souls' Has One of the Most Immersive Worlds in Gaming
Open worlds are glorious things. They enable the player to explore an expansive landscape that stretches out as far as the eye can see. It's an empowering thought to think that the entire world is open to the player and that there are no loading screens or restrictions of any kind. Of course, series such as Grand Theft Auto, Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Just Cause and Saints Row are almost synonymous with the term 'open world,' but there's one series that is somewhat brushed to the side when it comes to the open world genre. In acknowledgement to the upcoming remaster, this article is going to talk about the first Dark Souls and why Lordran (the world it's set in) aids in making it one of the most immersive experiences in gaming.

Top 10 Hardest Overwatch Trophies
(I've written an updated version of this list which reflects my current thoughts more accurately so check that out). Overwatch is a fantastic multiplayer shooter that I would recommend even the most casual of gamers to try out. It's easy to learn but hard to master and this is reflected in its (currently) 70 trophies/achievements that are spread out over 26 heroes. For the sake of simplicity and the fact that I'm a PS4 player, I'm going to refer to them as trophies from now on.
