HOT STFUF

Yes, you may. But should you?

RIME

PS4, XBOX, PC

The trailer for indie title

Rime shows buildings and

animals just appearing

in front of the player. It’s

supposed to be a puzzle

game, but what’s taxing

our brains is why any

developer would try

to sell a game that

so flagrantly breaks

laws of physics. We’re

outraged. Unfollow.

PREY

PS4, XBOX, PC

One of 2017’s most

anticipated thinky-

shooties: the dynamics

of Prey will require you

to modify your environs,

your weapons and even

yourself to get along. In

space, no-one can hear

you cogitate.

NEUROMANCER

WILLIAM GIBSON

Either you’ve already read

it – in which case this SF

Masterworks hardback

reprint is merely a chance

to remind yourself how

prescient Gibson’s sci-fi

was – or you haven’t read

it. Which isn’t even an

option, is it?

COLOSSAL

Let’s say you bumbled

into Guy Ritchie’s new

King Arthur film. The best

way to then rinse clean

your brain might be to

watch this quirky movie

by little-known Spanish

director Nacho Vigalondo.

Whatever neurotic Anne

Hathaway does, a giant

monster in South Korea

also does. Even if she’s

dancing. ‘Quirky’, see?

ADAM BUXTON’S

BUG: DAVID

BOWIE SPECIAL

Being just one of the

umpty-billion events

that form the Brighton

Festival, from 6 to 28

May. Buxton’s Bowie

set, at the Brighton Dome

Concert Hall, is a must-see

because the late musical

chameleon is such a

lampoonable set of

characters to begin with.
