By Elijah Beahm Verified
| GameCritics
HIGH A beautiful sci-gothic fantasy with a good story and tight gameplay! LOW The abrupt ending. WTF I would’ve liked to see more by this creative team. Playing Luna Abyss feels like being injected with hope amid the darkest sunset. In an industry that seems to be on the verge of imploding on a weekly basis, this is the sort of game that reminds me why I write about games. Deeply personal and handmade by a talented team of human beings, Kwalee has crafted a modern masterpiece.

What was your first job as a journalist?

Reviewer/interviewer for a site that no longer exists, but it was highly formative for my style going forward.

How is social media changing news?

Overall? It's not going particularly well.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Traditionally, if I'm reading a piece of fiction, I want to hear about other roles/professions than my own.
