Summary Pokemon Sleephas been tracking us at night and having creatures gather around based on how well we rested for more than a year. It’s actually a lot cuter than I’ve made it sound there, but there has been one problem hanging over Pokemon Sleep since its launch, and that’s the dangers that come with sleeping with your phone plugged in a few inches from your face.

Summary Starfield: Shattered Spacestarts with our Starborn adventurer answering a distress call from The Oracle, which eventually leads them to the secluded planet of Va’ruun’kai. Cut off from the rest of the Settled Systems after several failed attempts at peace, you’d expect House Va’ruun to be a little wary of outsiders, but you’re quickly welcomed into their ranks as another in a long line of Chosen Ones. “Within moments of arriving in Dazra, you, a complete stranger, are hailed as the coming saviour of Va’ruun society, being granted special privileges, and an audience with what is, effectively, their government,” writes one Reddit user, complaining about the cliché to over 1,000 upvotes....

I’d meant to play more than just one demo last night after clocking off from work, but I was doomed the moment I started upUncle Chop’s Rocket Shop.
