Frostpunk 2 Review

A charming nautical adventure that refines the original’s clever turn-based combat.

A clever and challenging tactics game with a clear love of the superhero comics that inspired it. And no one actually wears a cape.

This campaign brings epic space battles in for intense, close-quarters combat.

The skirmish mode may be barebones, but the co-op War Games mode gives an extra boost to multiplayer.

Homeworld: Vast Reaches gets the atmosphere of this classic strategy series right, but oversimplifies and speeds up its space battles to the point where it loses the feeling of being in command of a fleet – all without doing anything that couldn’t have been accomplished outside of VR.

It’ll be a long road to Fallout 5 – in the meantime, Microsoft should bring back the games that started it all.

Outcast: A New Beginning Review

You can’t review something without talking about it, but how much detail is too much?

By virtually any measure the quality of games, movies, and television shows released in 2023 has been outstanding, reflected in the diverse collection of 10 out of 10 scores IGN has awarded this year.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, Diablo 4, Alan Wake 2 and Baldur’s Gate 3 were among the best PC games of the year, but which took the top prize?

Arizona Sunshine 2 keeps the pressure on for a long campaign of zombie slaying full of satisfyingly gory head shots, entertaining humor, and the bond between a lonely man and his dog.

When you’re playing before launch and hit problems, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.

Starfield has a lot of forces working against it, but eventually the allure of its expansive roleplaying quests and respectable combat make its gravitational pull difficult to resist.
