Another graphic novel review up from me - The Power Fantasy continues to be just so goddamn /interesting/, because it takes its premises the right amount of seriously and gets properly invested in what they would mean morally and philosophically. I am so here for it.

Over at @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social, there's a really good review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

It's a game that I think should be a frontrunner for next year's Best Game Hugo Award.

The TLDR: "With such charming characters and engaging systems, it’s no wonder this game found immediate success"

Due to a warehouse problem around launch time, the Immeasurable Heaven won’t be stocked in any Waterstones for the foreseeable future.

I’ve compiled a headache-inducing pile of nice blurbs and would be so grateful if anyone who enjoyed my weird non-human book could reshare.

Thank you!
