Xbox was looking so rosy for 2023. Hi-Fi Rush surprise released at the start of the year alongside a seemingly confident Developer Direct stream, suggesting the drought of first-party Microsoft titles was coming to an end and finally its Xbox Game Pass service could be onto some big hitters. That’s...
The Star Wars universe has splintered off into other avenues in recent years, from The Mandalorian to Andor, but for most fans, what remains most fundamentally exciting about the franchise is the epic lightsaber battles.
We’d understand if Nintendo Switch owners are getting brain fatigue from all the strategy games released these past few months, but given Advance Wars is the granddaddy of them all, we’re happy to make an exception for Re-Boot Camp.
It’s been nine long years since Dead Island 2 was first announced. Any game that goes through that kind of protracted development has a lot to prove at launch, but it’s especially true of one whose predecessor wasn’t much cop. The original Dead Island was arguably more famous for its...
The original Resident Evil 4 didn’t just completely subvert the series’ survival horror roots; it laid the foundations for all over-the-shoulder third person action games that followed. It’s an all-time classic. Capcom also went on to port it to every conceivable platform, so we’ve had no trouble revisiting it over...
It’s hard going into this review of Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon (that long subtitle making us wonder if it’s meant to be the first of a new series) without thinking just who it’s meant for.

Team Ninja evolves Nioh's formula in a Three Kingdoms-era action RPG where allies, flags, and stealth make its brutal challenges more manageable than ever.
When first announced back in 2018, Atomic Heart captured interest with its blend of alt-1950s Soviet aesthetics, Bioshock-style narrative and FPS/RPG hybrid gameplay. A lot has changed since then in the real world. Developer Mundfish has tried to downplay its Russian roots following the invasion of Ukraine, moving to Cyprus...
Samus is back and looking better than ever. Of course, Nintendo’s iconic space bounty hunter had already graced the Switch with 2021’s superb Metroid Dread – but for many fans, Metroid Prime is the real deal. This was the game where she made her transition to 3D, and one which...
Sci-fi media says space is dangerous because it’s filled with evil galactic empires and advanced alien lifeforms out to kill you. In reality, the physical act of space exploration is already pretty perilous. That’s something narrative-driven adventure Deliver Us Mars gets across, with plenty of peril and conflict but no...
The Dead Space series was cancelled a decade ago after three instalments, at a time EA was convinced games-as-a-service were the future. But it turns out single-player blockbusters are still in demand (see also upcoming Star Wars sequel Jedi: Survivor), and there’s plenty of interest in sci-fi horror, as seen...
Ever been to a gig where the support act blew you away more than the band you paid to see? You get the same feeling playing Hi-Fi Rush. Dropping from out of nowhere, this colourful and cartoony rhythm actioner couldn’t be more different from developer Tango Gameworks’ previous games. It...
