Game News Haikus: Bloodstained, Fallout 4, The Witcher 3, and more

Zen-distilled stories

To fans of weird deadpan comedy poetry: I’d like to extend my humblest apologies for the hiatus. I’d like to say I was celebrating the 10th episode by taking some time off, but the reality is that I have just been super busy on weekends with games to review. Chris Carter is a slave driver. To non-fans: too bad, suckers, it’s back!

In this series, we take a look at the stories that gathered the most attention of the past week, and distill each one down to its essence. Here are the topics that the surly D. Takeshi Nakamura takes on this week:

• What did you think of the Splatoon Global Testfire?
• Early Access Review: Black Mesa
• Rumour: Guillermo del Toro’s production company creating Fallout 4 trailer
• Castlevania‘s IGA back with ‘dream game’ Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
• Review: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
• PS4 hacked and games pirated in Brazil
• Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster on PS4 looks better than ever, but has major problems
