Wolfenstein Youngblood (PC) review: Growing Pains

Even if it fails to unlock the potential of what it’s trying to do, I think there’s something decidedly compelling about the new ideas that Youngblood tries to bring to the franchise.

Rage 2 review: From the ashes

Rage 2 resuscitates a franchise that was arguably dead on arrival.

Bloodstained - Ritual of the Night review: Don't call it a comeback

Bloodstained isn’t just a memorial to the Castlevania games of days past, it feels like a foundation for the series’ future.

Gato Roboto review: A platforming-heavy metroidvania with a cute look

Published by Devolver Digital and pitched as a CatMechtroidvania, Gato Roboto is a 2D platformer with a cute two-tone aesthetic, old-school level design and a protagonist as charming as they come.

Devil May Cry V succeeds in recapturing the zest of the series' past but is ill-equipped to evolve beyond it.

Wargroove review: A crunchy tactics game that picks up where Advance Wars left off

Wargroove is as much a throwback to Advance Wars as it is a subtle evolution of the formula.

Gigabyte Aero 15 X9 review: X Gonna Give It To Ya

Some might say you can’t teach an old laptop new tricks, but the new Gigabyte Aero 15 X9 begs to differ.

Anthem review-in-progress: To infinity and beyond

Anthem is uplifted by a unique setting, stunning visuals and thrilling sense of scale and speed. However, it’s brought back down to earth by a thousand inevitable comparisons that leave it wanting.
