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, Bertie returns to Oblivion after nearly 20 years; Marie plucks up the courage to wipe an Animal Crossing save 300 hours in the making; and Donlan – who’s back with us for a week – finds an ingenious little game about mazes.

What is it about remaking games from our past that is so appealing? I question this a lot when another remake whirls around, Oblivion being the latest of them.

Regardless, back around Oblivion has come, and I’ve been questioning why.
