If Arc Raiders was the extraction shooter genre’s Fortnite moment, then Marathon feels like it’s Apex Legends: a more hardcore take on the idea that focuses on pure skill rather than approachability. But based on the Server Slam trial, just like the Runner you control, it feels like it’s stuck in the wrong Shell.
The original High on Life from 2022 asked a simple question: What would it look like if you took the random, bleak comedic style of Rick and Morty and parodied video games rather than classic sci-fi films and TV? The answer: a first-person shooter with sweary guns, of course.
Fans have been eating well in 2025. The Battlefield series is back to its explosive best with Battlefield 6, and ARC Raiders’ mix of tense gunfights and unforgettable moments has produced one of the best multiplayer shooters since Overwatch in 2016.
Every now and again, a shooter comes along that changes the game. Half-Life 2 did it, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare did it, and so did Fortnite. That’s exactly what ARC Raiders does too. It’s that good.
EA Sports FC 26 is the best the series has been in years, thanks to a host of gameplay changes that deliver Ballon d’Or-worthy football. Like Arteta’s Arsenal, you could accuse it of lacking ambition with some modes in need of an overhaul, but it proves that stability off the pitch brings success on it.
Gears of War: Reloaded brings a nearly 20-year-old classic back to life in stunning fashion. The remaster sharpens the action and polishes the visuals, but while the gunplay is timeless, clunky AI and a barebones story remind you this is still a product of its time.
Mafia: The Old Country drastically improves on its predecessor, delivering a gripping mob tale that hits harder than a punch from Tony Montana. It’s just a shame that it’s a much better movie than it is a game.
If Elden Ring Nightreign’s shift to a more multiplayer focus has left a Soulslike-shaped hole in your life, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is here to fill it, armed with one of the most satisfying combat systems you’ll find all year. As long as you can put up with some torment.
Arcade sports games are tough to get right, but when they’re done well, they’re hard to beat. For the last decade, Rocket League has sat at the top of the table with very little in the way of competition, thanks to its genius blend of football and suped-up cars.
