Atomic Heart is advertised as developer Mundfish’s first game, but that isn’t quite true. The studio’s first venture into gaming, Soviet Lunapark VR, didn’t go too well; the Early Access game was removed from sale abruptly and support was discontinued mere months after its release. This new action RPG infused...
Karl Fairburne and his sniper rifle are synonymous with World War II and the battle against the Nazis. Players must be wondering what Rebellion could bring to the era now that we’ve reached the franchise’s fifth installment. Our Sniper Elite 5 review finds a game that has larger levels that...
Chernobylite is a difficult game to pigeonhole. Developer The Farm 51 has called it a survival horror RPG, but after spending 30 hours with the game, I wouldn’t say that’s terribly accurate because there’s also quite a strong focus on strategy. I guess a ‘science-fiction survival game with a twist...
When the name Charles Cecil is mentioned, adventure games like the Broken Sword franchise are what would normally come to mind. Another of Cecil’s successful adventure games was Beneath a Steel Sky, a gritty tale of oppression and fascism created with Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons. A whole 26 years later,...
Many Left 4 Dead fans have been clamoring for a sequel over the 12 years since Left 4 Dead 2 was released—not to mention PlayStation players, who were left out. While a sequel was reportedly in development, it was ultimately cancelled. The problem is Turtle Rock Studios became an independent company...
Five years have passed since console players got to enjoy a game based on the exploits of Agatha Christie‘s famous Belgian detective. Blazing Griffin’s Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The First Cases breaks that deadlock with a new adventure game that follows just a few weeks after their console debut...
The Aragami franchise began with the game of the same name that was released in 2016. Five years later, Aragami 2 aims to expand on the supernatural stealth ninja formula introduced by the first game. The standalone game requires no knowledge of its predecessor to enjoy, which is really a...
I Am Dead is a hidden object game where players can get as much or as little out of it as they wish. It's a short but simple game, perhaps too simple for some.
After 16 years of waiting, Psychonauts 2 more than makes up for lost time. It's a glorious return for the franchise, one that should keep existing fans happy while being perfectly welcoming for new players.

OMNO is a passion project for developer Jonas Manke. He single-handedly created his Journey-inspired puzzle platformer over the course of five years. While he previously has game experience animating characters for State of Decay 2, his first title has headed in a completely different direction as players set off on...
Biomutant was first announced in 2017. Through the following four years we’ve had long periods of silence about the game from developer Experiment 101, as well as delays. However, away from the limelight, the small team of just 20 developers have been plugging away at their own pace. The result...
Buildings Have Feelings Too has a unique premise. The game is advertised as a “city-management/puzzle game about buildings and the city they inhabit.” While the city management descriptor is technically true, those expecting anything like SimCity or Cities: Skylines will be disappointed. The title is actually a puzzle game where...
