Just in time for pre-Songs of the Past DLC refreshers, Witcher 3 modders have restored a cut menu which lets you watch story recaps at any time

Remember those little 'last time on The Witcher 3' recaps CD Projekt Red have Dandelion narrate if you load up a save or fast travel to a new section of the map midway through the RPG's main story? Well, it turns out the studio cut out a menu that'd have allowed you to go back and watch any of these helpful reminders of what Gerry from the River was up to at any time, much in the same way you can pop to the character biographies if you've forgotten who someone important is or how Geralt upset th...

Getting Ill: Understanding the grossest horror game in development and how it takes more than a few cues from Valve's seminal shooter Half-Life 2

Ill's is a world of grimacing nightmares, and there's a level of detail here we usually only see in the mos...
