Playing Mass Effect spiritual successor Exodus was the best kind of surprise
My relationship with Mass Effect begins and ends with the first game (let's just blame the M35 Mako and leave it at that), and so Exodus - which is making no bones about being something of a Mass Effect spiritual successor, born from some of the same creative team - isn't a game that's been anywhere close to my radar. But the Gamescom gods contrived to put Exodus on my appointment schedule, and while the 45 minutes or so I played wasn't what I was expecting when I first sat down, I've come away both intrigued and impressed by what developer Archetype Entertainment is trying to achieve.

Lego Skylines' devs want your city's problems to be visible without digging into a stats screen, which means finding a "family friendly" version of showing homelessness

Changing that is one developer Iceflake Studios aims for colourful plastic brick-based spinoff Lego Skylines. "If there's an issue, it should be visible in the world," game director Lasse Liljedahl tells me.
