I do love a Soulslike, but I'm a bit of a purist at heart - if you don't give me the exact combination of forlorn ambience, intricate world design, lore excavation, and precision combat developer FromSoftware so consistently delivers, I’m probably going to struggle to care.

One of 2025's strangest announcements from Nintendo was the return of the Virtual Boy, a hardware (and software) failure that's been reappraised over the years. Many gamers have a soft spot for it, however, so its inclusion in Nintendo Switch Online's offerings probably was an easy decision to make as the video game giant looked to spice the subscription up. Now we have access to the full roster of games... Read more ›

Splatoon 3 will be four years old later this year, and despite Nintendo ending regular update plans in late 2024 and Splatoon Raiders being deep into development, we're still getting new content and gameplay patches. Read more Read more ›

Hytale has had a remarkably strong early access start, despite a number of development hiccups and it broadly not being that different to genre-leader Minecraft, so it comes as no surprise modders are already hard at work on all sorts of additions and tweaks. Read more Read more ›

Autumn 2026 could be the definitive release window for Xbox and Playground Games' Fable, which last week confirmed its journey to PS5 on top of Xbox Series X/S and PC.

Now, we also know it'd been a dream project for... Read more ›

Resident Evil 9 (aka Requiem) is all about the swings. After three hours with a clearly more-or-less final build of the game, one rather gets the impression that the entire game has been built around the idea of a pendulum swinging back and forth. Exhilarating highs and stomach-churning lows (of the good sort). What surprised me the most about the hands-on, however, is how quickly Requiem sets that ticking and... Read more ›

"Imagine there's no such thing as Sushi," Resident Evil: Requiem director Koshi Nakanishi asked me to ponder. It's a strange request, but it comes at the end of an animated chat with a clearly very thoughtful creator. I nod along - imagining a terrible world, as far as I'm concerned. But what does this analogy have to do with Resident Evil? Read more Read more ›

Stop Killing Games has been fighting the good fight since 2024 in answer to publishers like Ubisoft shutting down The Crew and other online-only games and cutting access to them. In 2025, the European Citizens' Initiative launched by the group was blasted by several major publishers as such a move would be "prohibitively expensive." Now, the initiative has flown past its goal and cleared almost 1.3m verified signatures. Read more Read more ›

Arc Raiders' narrative ambitions have been limited so far, with Embark Studios' extraction shooter first looking to ease players into its post-apocalyptic world. After the winter-themed Cold Snap event, however, it appears the developers are putting the pedal to the metal with an "impending escalation" that will happen over the next four months.
