Ashley Barnett-CosgroveOct 18, 2026Score 70

“Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 is more of what Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun delivered, but with meaningful changes. It has great music and punchy sound effects, a new character to play, and replayability with meaningful accessibility options. Although there are some bugs that can break the flow and be disheartening, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 is worth playing if you loved Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun.”

Will SilbermanOct 18, 2026Score 90

“STAR WARS: Galactic Racer nails the high-speed, high-stakes podracing DNA with flair. Its approach to innovation via roguelike progression broadens its appeal while doing away with some archaic practices found in longstanding racing games. Don’t worry if you’re not the biggest fan of STAR WARS, you’ll have a hell of a time and quench your thirst for an explosive racing title that features racing, combat, and more.”

Latest: Gears of War: E-Day

Mohammad TalebianOct 18, 2026Score 70

“While Gears of War: E-Day delivers a solid online multiplayer experience, its single-player campaign plays it safe, offering little new in the way of storytelling or level design, and despite a 20-year gap between the original Gears of War and E-Day, the gameplay shows no meaningful evolution, let alone two decades worth of progress.”

Use a Potion StaffOct 18, 2026Score 85

“Silver Pines nails that classic survival horror game vibe, all whilst adding some impressive modern touches to exploration across its Metroidvania-style world. I had a really good time uncovering its world, solving its satisfying puzzles, and unravelling its unsettling narrative (even if it is guilty of being a bit derivative in places), whilst the gorgeous visuals really do give it a distinct sense of style. It’s just a really, really good game - horror fans have truly been spoilt lately, and Silver Pines is another release they won’t want to miss out on.”

James ClarksonOct 18, 2026Score 80

“Planet Zoo 2 is an impressive sequel featuring stunning graphics, realistic animal behaviour, aquariums, aviaries and improved building tools. Its creative freedom and conservation features offer hours of enjoyable gameplay. However, complicated controls, missing animals and occasional bugs can be frustrating. Overall, it’s a fantastic choice for zoo-building fans, although beginners may find the management systems challenging.”

Andrew CamacOct 17, 2026Score 95

“Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 is essentially the perfect sequel. As much as I enjoyed the original, this old boomer shooter veteran had a few gripes with how loosely it adhered to the genre’s conventions. Boltgun 2 not only addresses those issues, but practically John Romero’d me for ever questioning whether it would just be more of the same. It’s a loud, brutal, gloriously gory experience, packed with excellent level design, surprising set pieces, and an enormous branching campaign that had me jumping straight back in the moment the credits rolled.”

Latest: Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival

Lucas BarretoOct 17, 2026Score 80

“Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival aptly incorporates the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice into its narrative—a foundation that also underpins some of the best horror games, such as Silent Hill 2, Signalis, and Resident Evil 7 biohazard, among many others. The most significant difference here, perhaps, is that at no point does the title attempt to convince us that Sunny is a person worth the effort (quite the opposite, in fact).”

Latest: Frosthaven

Silvia MannuOct 17, 2026Score 75

“Frosthaven is, by all accounts, an excellent digital adaptation of one of the most complex and acclaimed cooperative board games of recent years. Version 1.0 marks the end of an early access period that lasted over a year, making the entire campaign and all planned content available. The difficulty remains high, but the numerous customization options allow you to tailor the challenge to your needs. Frosthaven is a deep, content-rich strategic experience that will undoubtedly delight fans, but those new to board games will face a fairly steep learning curve and need to be prepared to learn many complex mechanics.”

“Absolutely, fans of the franchise must play Tales of Eternia, especially if they never got a chance to. This remaster includes some great quality of life improvements that help blend the old with the new without tarnishing the original vision. The game's age still comes through in many aspects, but the new additions help pave the way for a new audience to experience a long-sought franchise entry in the Tales of franchise.”

Latest: Spy Drops Gaiden

Coller EntragianOct 16, 2026Score 70

“Spy Drops Gaiden is a competent and well made retro stealth action game. It's a bit of a lightweight compared to something like Ghost Babel, which was stuffed to the brim with content and interesting challenges, but it's also priced accordingly. The whole thing is over in a couple of hours and ends when things get interesting. With a solid foundation in place, adding more areas and puzzle-like environments could unlock great potential for similar games.”
