Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve been playing over the past few days. This week we’ve been returning to the Dragon Age game that started it all, Origins; we’ve been revelling in Sony’s latest PlayStation blockbuster, Astro Bot; and we’ve been returning to the tender times of teenage life in Until Then.
What have you been playing?

Dragon Age: Origins, Xbox Series X (via EA Play)
In my excitement for Dragon Age: The Veilgard’s upcoming release, I’ve returned to Origins to romance Alistair and murder Darkspawn and naughty mages, if they step out of line. Or if I accidentally pick the wrong dialogue option, which is always a worry in BioWare games and especially true of Origins. That’s part of the fun really, as Origins was designed to be the spiritual successor to BioWare’s Baldur’s Gate series. You might not see dice rolls, but you’ll definitely see the carnage of a bad decision play out.
