Highguard's launch this week would've probably passed by largely unremarked if it wasn't for its appearance at last year's The Game Awards. Unusually for a game with no prior hype or obvious pedigree, it featured as the show's big "and finally" reveal, immediately subjecting it to intense, and slightly bewildered, scrutiny. After that, even as hard facts on the game remained scarce, it continued to draw scorn, purely for the... Read more ›

When 2025 wrapped up, Obsidian's open-world fantasy RPG Avowed had been overlooked on many end-of-year lists. Despite garnering favourable reviews overall and delivering a type of Elder Scrolls-inspired experience that stands on its own, it wasn't a massive hit. Later, The Outer Worlds 2 landed with similar results. Meanwhile, the mostly continuist survival crafting adventure Grounded 2 was enjoying lots of success. Read more Read more ›

The Game Awards 2025 gave us plenty of juicy reveals, but few were as surprising as Star Wars: Galactic Racer, a spiritual successor of sorts to Episode I: Racer and the overlooked Racer Revenge. It looked stunning, but fans had one fear following its reveal: there were no old-school podracers to be found in the trailer. Read more Read more ›

Civilization 7 was a bit of an odd release last year. With a Metacritic score of 79 and positive comments from Take-Two's leadership, it was considered a success.
