What we've been playing

6th January 2023

Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve found ourselves playing over the last few days. This time: spooky Sardinia, worrying plants, and Claudia W.

If you fancy catching up on some of the older editions of What We’ve Been Playing, here’s our archive.

Saturnalia, PC

Saturnalia, with its ghoulish pursuers, ancient rites and shifting midnight streets, may seem like an odd choice for a game to play over Christmas, but actually it fits perfectly.

That’s because there’s always been something spooky about the festive season. You can see it in books like The Box of Delights and The Dark is Rising – and it helps that The Dark is Rising got a lovely audio adaptation at the end of last year, with help from Robert MacFarlane.
