Latest: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2

GameBlastAug 24, 2026Score 90Pre-release Review

“Even with less content than its predecessor, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 is a dream come true, bringing the climax of Solid Snake’s story to modern platforms. On top of that, it includes Big Boss’s excellent portable chapter and an obscure Game Boy Color classic, so the quality more than makes up for the quantity. Konami did a solid job porting these games, with plenty of customization options on PC while leaving their core intact.”

Latest: The Sinking City 2

Use a PotionAug 24, 2026Score 80

“The Sinking City 2 feels like a big step up from its predecessor, offering a gripping survival horror experience that’ll draw you in with its eerie world, haunting atmosphere and satisfying combat. When you factor in the horrific real-world conditions the Ukrainian development team had to navigate to even get this made, the fact that it’s turned out so damn well is nothing short of astounding. And sure, it has its imperfections and the shift to a more traditional modern survival horror game might not be for everyone, but if you want a tense, well-paced horror adventure with fun gameplay and an engaging narrative, The Sinking City 2 is absolutely worth diving into.”

Latest: The Lord of the Rings: War in the North - Legacy Edition

ProGamers.lifeAug 24, 2026Score 80

“Aspyr revives the 2011 cult classic with a 4K, 60 FPS Legacy Edition that succeeds thanks to nostalgia and co-op gameplay. Despite retaining the linear design of its era, its polished technical enhancements and visceral group gameplay make this comeback a must-buy at a budget price, paving the way for the resurgence of Tolkien-based games.”

Latest: Theropods

AdventureGames.huAug 23, 2026Score 70

“As the debut of a small, first-time developer, Theropods can be considered a fairly solid effort, capable of keeping players engaged for a few hours with its atmosphere, brain-teasing puzzles, and charming characters. And, of course, it’s not every day that you get to face off against prehistoric reptiles in an adventure game, which alone makes it worth giving a try. Preferably when it’s around 50% off.”

Latest: Mafia: The Old Country - Man of Honor

“Man of Honor works well as a small expansion to the story of Mafia: The Old Country. However, while it retains the essence of the base game and offers a great atmosphere, it falls short in terms of depth.”

“It might not be the Aussie Rules simulation that people want, but Pro Jank Footy is an accessible sports game, that ended up making me appreciate some of the finer points of the real sport. Perfect for beginners that have no idea about this sport, or any sports for that matter.”

Latest: Madden NFL 27

Cloud DosageAug 23, 2026Score 86

“Madden NFL 27 brings back Franchise, Superstar, Ultimate Team, and the on-field football at the centre of the series. Better defensive behaviour, quicker pre-snap adjustments, and deeper Franchise management make this year’s game more dependable, even with lingering blocking, collision, AI, and commentary issues. Franchise fans and anyone returning after skipping a recent Madden will notice the biggest difference.”

3DNewsAug 23, 2026Score 70

“A successful—and in some ways even brilliant—attempt to create a game in the spirit of Nintendo 64 shooters. As a nostalgic experience, Agent 64 is a great game. But as a standalone title, it doesn't stand out in any way and will likely bewilder those outside the game's target audience.”

“To put it bluntly, Twisted Tower isn’t anything special. I’ve played dozens of better, more original, and more distinctive boomer shooters. That doesn’t change the fact, however, that this is a very solid game that can be a lot of fun. The action is intense, dynamic, and has just the right amount of punch, and the story—despite its disappointing ending—is intriguing enough that you’ll follow it with genuine curiosity for most of the game. Twisted Tower may not go down in the history of the subgenre, but it certainly knows how to provide a few truly enjoyable hours of fun.”

Latest: COTTOn RockWithYou -ORIENTAL NIGHT DREAMS-

IGN KoreaAug 22, 2026Score 80

“Building on the character-specific mechanics introduced in its predecessor, Cotton Fantasy, this 35th-anniversary entry makes the same stages feel entirely different depending on who you choose. Switching characters means relearning safe distances and scoring routes, giving every return trip a purpose. The home version further supports repeated play with training tools, hitbox and enemy-bullet display options, and a complete selection of routes and characters. Some key mechanics remain poorly explained, while overlapping effects can occasionally obscure crucial information. Even so, its approachable spectacle and deeply rewarding scoring system make it an exceptionally polished shoot ’em up. It may not definitively be the greatest Cotton ever made, but it is more than worthy of celebrating the series’ 35th anniversary.”

“While a lot of the basic mechanics and moment-to-moment survival horror of The Sinking City 2 feel inescapably like off-brand Resident Evil, it's a praiseworthy imitation of its main inspirations wrapped in the Cthulhu mythos.”

Raider KingAug 22, 2026Score 80

“The Sinking City 2 is a game that bring nothing new to the table and doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, which can be very disappointing as this title comes from a studio who has always been one of the most unique in the industry. Despite that, The Sinking City 2 is a very well crafted Survival Horror experience that fans of the genre should take the time to enjoy. Its fast-paced gameplay, fun set pieces, and Lovecraftian horror elements allows the title to stand alongside the titans it is derived from.”

“Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Servant of the Lake! It’s outside my usual comfort zone for games, but I felt confident and capable with the puzzles, and I enjoyed the ride it took me on. It’s not the most amazing, awe-inspiring work of art in the world, but it knows what it’s about and it commits to the bit. It’s a genuinely excellent addition to the game library of anyone who enjoys visual novels, point-and-click games, or puzzle games.”

“Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 really stands out thanks to Guns of the Patriots. The rest are really just curiosities. Peace Walker has its moments, but after Phantom Pain it won’t surprise anyone. The rest is just cosmetic tweaks and nostalgia. Boxed editions are becoming a thing of the past, so buy them whilst they’re still affordable.”

“The Sinking City 2 is mysterious, strange, clear, and beautiful all at once. The game has its flaws here and there, but is certainly not below average. Locations and many other elements are reminiscent of other franchises in the survival horror genre. Although I didn't encounter any game-breaking bugs or glitches, the game does have some technical, graphical, and audiovisual flaws. The puzzles are complex and complicated at times, which can occasionally lead to frustration. Otherwise, the game offers a nicely balanced horror element, and the changes in the world are well-developed as you progress through the story. Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and The Last of Us 2, all three to a reasonable degree, have gained a little brother. The direction is good, the camerawork excellent, and the story sometimes very surprising and mysterious, yet nowhere do those last elements feel out of place. Only the polish sometimes leaves something to be desired.”
