Doom: The Dark Ages
From the original games that propelled id Software along on its path to glory, to more recent installments that brought the franchise to a new generation of slayers, Doom has always held a special place in my heart. The satisfying violence, the lightning fast pace, and those oh so heavy...
Forza Horizon 5
Update [23 April 2025]: Hell has frozen over (for some), as Xbox mainstay Forza Horizon 5 is now playable on PS5 through early access ahead of a larger 29 April release. The PS5 version of Horizon 5 includes all DLC and the new Forza Realms update, and is perfect for PS5 players who’ve...
Announced less than a year ago, Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is the ambitious debut title from French studio Sandfall Interactive. Expedition 33 tells a high-concept fantasy story: in a world similar to our own, things were torn apart 67 years ago in an event called the Fracture. Physics lost meaning,...
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle should officially be considered the sixth instalment in the fabled franchise. I have no idea if LucasFilm is pondering bringing back 82-year-old Harrison Ford to mirror his on-screen dad’s pledge to never say never again. But I hope they don’t, because the Great Circle...
South of Midnight
South of Midnight has been on my radar since it was first announced back in 2023. Leaning heavily into Southern folklore, developer Compulsion Games’ latest also carried with it a distinct, frame-jumping visual style. It looked, sounded, and seemed to act different to most.
Update: The Last of Us Part 2 is now available on Windows PC via Steam. Here’s our original PlayStation review.
Atomfall
Rebellion’s known for its long-running Sniper Elite franchise, but Atomfall is something entirely different. Equal parts survival shooter, mystery, and sci-fi RPG, it sets out to something unique and, for the most part, accomplishes its goal.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows returns to the series’ expansive open-world RPG formula but buries the bloat to deliver a more structured experience without cutting content. This style of Assassin’s Creed launched the new hardware over 4 years ago with Valhalla. Since then, we’ve had a welcome return to the smaller scale...
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Xenoblade Chronicles X is the latest Wii U game to see new life (and a larger install base) on Nintendo Switch. Available on the handheld hybrid from tomorrow, Chronicles X is based on the western version of the Wii U title — complete with DLC — and includes all-new content in addition to...
Split Fiction
Josef Fares is the king of co-op adventures, capturing hearts with Brothers* and cementing his status with a Game Awards win for It Takes Two. Fares’ Hazelight is back with its next co-op EA Original in Split Fiction — and while it will certainly entertain, it doesn’t take co-op hijinks...
It’d be fair to say that I’ve got a bit of a weird relationship with the Monster Hunter franchise. My first entry into the series, World, was also the first time I’d reviewed one of these games. You may have missed it at the time, but suffice to say the...
Right off the bat, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii makes its premise as clear as the name of the game does. You’re Goro Majima, the Mad Dog of Shimano… but through the wonders of retrograde amnesia, he’s a fresh slate who’s ready to pivot to a more nautical adventure. After washing...
