GAMING REVIEWS
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 review: a century of sleep, and still no soul
TL;DR: A lifeless, linear vampire brawler that forgets the seductive complexity that made the original legendary. Gorgeous in theory, dull in execution. I still remember the first time I stepped…
ROG Xbox Ally X (2025) review: a new generation of handheld gaming begins
TL;DR: The ROG Xbox Ally X is the handheld gaming PC we’ve been waiting for—powerful, elegant, and finally stable. Between its Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor, 120Hz display, console-grade ergonomics, and thoughtful…
Battlefield 6 review: a triumphant return to form that finally feels like coming home
TL;DR: Battlefield 6 is DICE’s triumphant return to form — a confident, explosive revival of everything that made the series legendary. The campaign looks and sounds spectacular but plays it safe with…
Sonic Racing CrossWorlds feels like a fever dream from the multiverse (and I love it)
TL;DR: A vibrant, ambitious, and occasionally chaotic Sonic kart racer that starts slow but ends in a blur of pure fun. It’s grindy, messy, and loud — just like the…
Little Nightmares 3 review: when hide-and-seek becomes existential horror
TL;DR: Little Nightmares 3 is haunting, beautiful, and occasionally too safe for its own good. The co-op works better than expected, the world still drips with surreal dread, and even if it…
Ghost of Yōtei review: from mercenary to myth, a new legend rises in feudal Hokkaido
TL;DR: Ghost of Yotei is a bloody, beautiful, and deeply personal sequel that takes everything Ghost of Tsushima did well and carves its own path through the snow. Back in…
EA SPORTS FC 26 review: the best football game, but still scared to shoot from distance
TL;DR: EA Sports FC 26 doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it smooths out some bumps. Authentic mode slows things down for Career Mode purists, defending finally feels reliable again, and scenario-based…
Dying Light: The Beast review: running, bleeding, and barely surviving
TL;DR: The Beast makes Dying Light terrifying again. Tighter, scarier, and better than ever. There are zombie games that invite you to feel powerful, mowing down hordes like you’re some…
Silent Hill f review: a disturbing, beautiful, and brutal new chapter in survival horror
TL;DR: Silent Hill f takes the series to 1960s Japan, ditches guns for melee, and doubles down on grotesque monsters and psychological horror. Against all odds, it works. A haunting,…
Hollow Knight: Silksong review: a sequel that cuts deeper than the original
TL;DR: Hornet speaks, Pharloom breathes, and Silksong soars. This isn’t just Hollow Knight 2. This is the new gold standard for Metroidvanias. There are few games that have lived rent-free in…
Cronos: The New Dawn review: almost brilliant, almost broken
TL;DR: Cronos: The New Dawn is a bold, atmospheric, and frustratingly inconsistent survival horror game. Worth playing, but not unforgettable. Sometimes a game walks into your life like a drunk…
Hell is Us Review: the Soulslike that dares you to wander
TL;DR: A stunningly atmospheric but uneven mix of Soulslike combat and directionless exploration. Frustrating, ambitious, worth your time. I have a soft spot for games that dare me to get…
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance review: a long-awaited return from the shadows
TL;DR: Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is a glorious return for Sega’s ninja series—beautifully animated, mechanically deep, and endlessly replayable. Minor flaws aside, it’s one of the best 2D action games…
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater review: faithful, flawed, and fiercely nostalgic
TL;DR: Stunning visuals, classic gameplay preserved. Faithful to a fault. Still one of the greatest stealth games ever made, but don’t expect reinvention—this is Snake Eater exactly as you remember it, for better…
Tales of the Shire: A Lord of the Rings Game review: a cosy hobbit life that forgets Tolkien’s heart
TL;DR: Gorgeous and relaxing but emotionally flat, Tales of the Shire is a cosy-life sim that nails the look of Middle-earth but not its heart. Fun in small doses, forgettable in long stretches.…
Donkey Kong Bananza review: a banana-fueled masterpiece with heart and havoc
TL;DR: Donkey Kong Bananza is a gloriously chaotic, emotionally sincere, and mechanically inventive return to form for Nintendo’s original ape icon. With genre-defining environmental destruction, heartfelt storytelling, and banger level…
Killing Floor 3 review: a bloody good time that ends too soon
TL;DR: Killing Floor 3 is a gory, fast-paced co-op shooter that refines its predecessor's formula into something leaner and meaner. While the tight combat, class variety, and visual polish impress, the…
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers review: a ghostly waltz through madness and mastery
TL;DR: Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a fierce, imaginative, and flexible soulslike with jaw-dropping combat and deep customization options that make experimentation feel exhilarating. The lore fumbles hard in its storytelling, and…
