Though we’ve had various Monster Hunter Rise spin-offs in recent years, it’s fair to say that there hasn’t been a full-fat, full-sugar successor to Capcom’s epic Monster Hunter: World since its release in 2018. All of that changes with Monster Hunter Wilds, however, as Capcom looks to...

Even though 2024 was hardly lacking in Game of the Year candidates, it looks set to pale in comparison to the mammoth selection of seemingly certified bangers that 2025 is tipped to bring. From the looter shooter-flavoured, jet-black comedy of Borderlands 4 to the all-encompassing sensation that...

With Diablo IV releasing just a year and a half ago, it’s probably not too surprising to discover that a good number of players are already becoming somewhat tired of what Blizzard’s latest stab at the dungeon crawler genre has been offering up. Thankfully then, the long-awaited Path of Exile...

With more than 10 million (count em’) players on the clock in just three days since launch, Marvel Rivals from developer NetEase Games has struck on some sort of magical formula to entice the masses. Yet, the reality is that Marvel Rivals just incorporates a lot of robust shooter mechanics...

LEGO-licensed video games have arguably been one of the most prolific series in the games industry for the past couple of decades. Truly getting its momentum with LEGO Star Wars back in 2005, the house that the plastic bricks built would soon bring other popular franchises into its fold such as...

With it being that time of year again (no, not that time of year, the other one), the temptation to find a particularly scary flick to get you in the mood for the annual spooky celebrations can be a strong one. Perhaps stronger still is the compulsion to take a more interactive role in such...

With nearly a decade and a half on the clock between S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl and the last entry in the series, Call of Pripyat, everyone can be forgiven if they cannot remember the key story details from those previous games.

I don’t think it’s especially unreasonable to posit that if you’ve been a Dragon Age fan since the series started in 2009, the last ten years have not been easy. At all. With the previous game in BioWare’s ongoing RPG franchise, Dragon Age Inquisition, releasing back in 2014 and its...

Emerging from a team of developers at Atlus responsible for the legendary Persona JRPG series, Metaphor: ReFantazio is an all-new, tremendously promising genre effort that both embraces and iterates upon everything that made the Persona series so beloved in the first place. With that in mind,...
