Outer Wilds is a space exploration/adventure/story game, with puzzle-like elements. It isContinue reading “Outer Wilds”

Southpaw
Southpaw is a film about a champion boxer whose life falls into disarray and depression as he loses almost everything and has to start again from rock-bottom.

Knives Out
Knives Out is a murder-mystery-thriller centred around the alleged suicide of the wealthy head of a family (Christopher Plummer), and the private investigator (Daniel Craig) hired to investigate the death despite its initial ruling as a suicide.
