As a massive #GearsOfWar fan, it was great to meet other community members, hold props of iconic in-game weapons and of course, play more Gears Of War E-Day and chat to people about the experience of gaming without sight! @Xbox.com @AaronGreenberg.bsky.social

As a quick update, there'll be no streams this week from me (everything's ok, don't worry), but looking forward to resuming my on-stream Wolverine run on The Best There Is difficulty next week!

Playing Wolverine on recommended difficulty and streaming it on hardest settings, I'm enjoying my second run, but also seeing everyone else experiencing the game for the first time. #accessibility isn't just about me being able to play, but enjoying watching others do so too.

As a disabled person, I really appreciate that Sony gave review copies of Wolverine to many gaming accessibility content creators before launch. It’s nice to know on day one if I can play a game before I buy it. More game companies should do that.

Thanks to a review code from #PlayStation, whilst there are some #accessibility issues and blockers, I'd say #MarvelsWolverine is proof Insomniac Games can deliver a brutal, accessible experience for gamers without sight. Read my review of the game here: www.sightlesskombat.com/marvels-wolv...

Just tuned into the #NintendoDirect and am enjoying the fact that I know what's being said thanks to English voiceover, as opposed to subtitles being relied on. Here's hoping more of the company's games take on board the accessibility efforts seen in Rhythm Heaven Groove. #Accessibility #A11Y

I'm glad that, of the 3 games I'm excited for at the moment, one of those has multiplayer that is, at least partially, accessible (from what we saw in the beta). Granted the fact that it's Gears Of War definitely helps raise that even further in my regard as well.

With @stagetourgame.com and Sound System looking to revive the "plastic instrument" genre, I'm very curious to see what both these titles and others do for #accessibility given how much things have changed in the decades since the idea hit the mainstream, particularly for gamers without sight.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remastered is getting a lot of updates, and the #gamescomOpeningNightLive trailer specifically mentions new accessibility features. We're looking forward to see more details, but the updated combat, movement, skills, and tutorials can also make the game more accessible!

Thanks to #accessibility mods, I'm currently looking at the original Darkest Dungeon, Final Fantasy VII's 2026 PC update (with 7th Heaven's voice acting and audio upgrades), as well as Cult Of The Lamb (currently in early beta). Feels surreal, even if I'm playing titles many have known for years.

Keeping in mind that this was a beta and that I only got sighted assistance for the sake of time, I'm still really pleased to have completed all these #GearsOfWar E-Day challenges. Here's hoping the final game further improves on the #accessibility for gamers without sight! #A11Y
The challenges screen from the Gears Of War E-Day beta, showing all 5 challenges as completed. The challenges are as follows:
"Complete and Survive 8 Horde Siege Missions (Infantry difficulty or higher)."
"Headshot kill 25 enemies."
"Chainsaw execute 5 enemies in either Horde Siege or Versus matches."
"Hit Player Level 20."
"Revive other players 10 times in either Versus or Siege."

Whilst I wait to play #GearsOfWar E-Day's beta, I've been plugging away at #RhythmHeavenGroove. Almost at the end of unlocking actual new levels/remixes, I think, but this game never ceases to challenge. Surprised Lil Miss Reeds doesn't have her own merch (from what I've seen). #Accessibility #A11Y

Not long now until I get to record footage of E-Day and see just what #accessibility is available as a gamer without sight. As someone who put countless hours into Gears 5 with regulars, I'm curious but nervous as well given I've seen no official article on the subject for E-Day yet. #A11Y

That moment when you load up a game and it just speaks, with no need for you to enable said narration. Still relatively rare I'd say, but always appreciated. #Accessibility #A11Y
