Under a year ago, I purchased a Virtual Boy. I did so for two reasons: the first was to fill a curious little gap in my video game collection. The second and main reason was in service of a stupid joke: Nintendo had told us that there'd be no Switch 2 consoles for media ahead of launch day, and so in order to have a 'day one review', I decided...

Romeo is a Dead Man is nearly here at last, bringing the world another hyper-violent action game with a quirky hero and out-of-this-world narrative. It stands as the latest work from the collective minds of Suda 51 and his peers at Netease-owned Grasshopper Games, emitting that same strong Suda-signal as beloved prior works like No More Heroes or Killer is Dead.

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. Longtime Firaxis fans weren't as kind to it though, as many felt it was too disruptive or shallow. As expected, 2026 might be the year the studio makes the game's future brighter.

Barely over a month in, 2026 has been busy, but Highguard is easily the strangest game release we've had so far. Following a baffling, nearly marketing-free rollout following its reveal at The Game Awards 2025, it crashed into a wall of negative reviews, but developer Wildlight Entertainment was quick to react. Now, the sentiment is more positive following 5v5 matches being tested and locked - but can it survive the... Read more ›

Silent Hill f was one of last year's biggest surprises and marked a return to form for the veteran horror game franchise (if we don't count the SH2 remake). With a strong cast of characters, a 1960s Japan setting, and a dense atmosphere, it made an impression on veterans and newcomers alike. Now, two members of the main cast have been made ambassadors of the city that inspired the game's... Read more ›

2025 was a year packed with racing releases for the whole family, with Mario Kart World absorbing hours and hours of Switch 2 owners' free time, yet Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds emerged as the go-to choice for veterans looking for meatier mechanics and demanding circuits. Now, we've learned that it's sold more than 1 million copies, but Sega is thinking bigger. Read more Read more ›

For many, Borderlands 4 was a return to form after a so-so third entry. For others, it was more of the same. All in all, critics largely liked it while players had hotter takes. The FPS broke into 2025's best-selling list, and that's what ultimately matters to the powers that be. Thus, we're now looking at plenty of new content coming to the looter shooter soon.

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 ›
