Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve been playing. This week, Kelsey discovers a game like Unpacking on Steam; Tom manages to get his Steam Deck working; Marie puts her Spider-Man suit on; Ed goes with Blue Lions; Ian enjoys drop-kicking; Will argues that Battlefield 2042 wasn’t as bad as people made out; Chris can’t tell us what he’s been playing because it’s top secret (but also: Pokémon); and Bertie is smitten by the Vampire Survivor formula all over again.
What have you been playing?

Whisper of the House, PC
Whisper of the House is a charming little game that I came across on Steam when it launched at the end of August. Those who have played Unpacking will immediately see the appeal of this game, which has largely the same premise. You’re tasked with decorating, reorganising, and cleaning various homes and businesses for townsfolk while sprucing up your own abode.
