14th June
Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve been playing. I bet you didn’t even notice it’s a couple of hours late this week. Shh, don’t say if you did. This time, Bertie learns a lesson or two about communication while Tom O tackles Mario Kart World’s Free Roam missions.
What have you been playing?

Split-Fiction, PS5
I’m nearly there with Split-Fiction – just the last boss to go (there’ve been some interruptions) – and one thing that keeps coming to mind when I play it is communication. This is hardly a revelation for a game built around co-op and playing together but it’s something I don’t think about a lot, probably because I play games mostly on my own. Lonerrr! That’s an insult I haven’t heard since school. So I’m not very good at it, communicating, because I just assume other people know what I’m thinking.
