We’ve already emailed FromSoftware to request it add in a ‘Stupidly Hard’ setting, because we found Sekiro just too easy. Yeah, rightREVIEW

Holy shinobi! The biggest game this month has
had grown men and women weeping in the OXM
offices. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is another super-
challenging but oh-so-rewarding game from the Dark
Souls creator – check out our review on page 74!
The ’80s was a great time, particularly if you weren’t
born at the time and can enjoy the decade via the
rosy nostalgic medium of films, TV and videogames
set back then. Avalanche’s Generation Zero is the
latest game to cast itself in that decade, this time in
an alternate reality Sweden where robots have taken
over, thereby ensuring that IKEA will never dominate
the affordable furniture market. But is it any good?
Find out on page 78! We’ve had an emotional ride
with Telltale’s The Walking Dead and the series is
now finally ended. We have our verdict on the last
episode of the Final Season on page 80. My Time At
Portia is a jobbing, farming, fighting life sim game,
and we explore its lovely world on page 82, then we
continue our journey with Outward , a more ‘realistic’
take on the life of a fantasy adventurer on page 85.
Oh, rats! It’s Ghost Of A Tale (p86), a beautifully
realised fantasy game with a rodenty premise.
Windscape (p88) is a charmingly old-school Zelda-
aping RPG , then finally we have another first-person
RPG, Operencia: The Stolen Sun , rated on page 91!
