The Need for Speed series has been spinning its wheels for a while now – and not in the cool, tyre-shredding way. We’ve had multiple overhauls and at least one major reboot, but none have moved the needle like open-world rival Forza’s Horizon games have. Need for Speed Unbound comes...
True, Marvel’s Avengers was a disappointing blockbuster (the game, not the billion-earning movie) but brawling with your favourite superheroes is an easier sell than placing them in some grid-based tactics game that asks you to flex your grey matter. And despite the recent success of deckbuilder Marvel Snap, having your...
As much as we loved Final Fantasy VII Remake, and the care and attention that went into modernising one of gaming’s most beloved classics, the way it deviates from the original story has been a source of controversy amongst fans.

That makes it one of the longest anticipated exclusives for Nintendo’s console, apart from Metroid Prime 4, which still...
Not unlike a costumed vigilante tasked with cleaning up a crime-riddled city, Gotham Knights has its work cut out for it. For starters, it’s a Batman game without a Batman, trading the Caped Crusader for an arguably less interesting quartet of sidekick protagonists. It also arrives in the shadow of...
