Atomfall Review
Atomfall is an ambitious narrative-driven survival game that blends Cold War paranoia, British folk horror, and immersive exploration into a haunting alternative version of 1950s Britain. Developed by Rebellion, best known for the Sniper Elite series, Atomfall marks a bold departure for the studio, offering a dense, atmospheric world full of mystery, tension, and discovery. While not without its flaws, Atomfall excels in environmental storytelling and atmosphere, carving out a unique space between survival horror, immersive sim, and investigative adventure. [Read more…]
WWE 2K25 continues to build on the franchise’s recent momentum, offering a deeper, more refined wrestling experience. With a robust roster, improved match mechanics, and several expanded modes, it represents another solid entry in the revitalized WWE 2K series. However, the PC version lags behind its console counterparts in critical areas—most notably the omission of a headline mode, uneven technical performance, and a frustrating in-game economy. What should be the most versatile version of the game ultimately feels compromised. [Read more…]
Two Point Museum Review
With Two Point Museum, Two Point Studios expands its satirical management sim universe into new territory—literally. Swapping hospital wings and lecture halls for fossil displays and haunted artifacts, this latest installment in the Two Point series offers a fresh, engaging take on the museum genre, blending light-hearted humor with surprisingly deep systems. At first glance, Two Point Museum sticks to the formula fans expect: exaggerated animations, pun-filled PA announcements, and a cheerful art style. But spend some time with it, and you’ll find thoughtful design choices that push the series forward while honoring its roots. [Read more…]
Cabernet Review
Cabernet is an ambitious, narrative-driven RPG that blends classic vampire mythology with the emotional weight of addiction, isolation, and moral compromise. Set in a richly imagined 19th-century Eastern European-inspired world, it tells a story of personal transformation, temptation, and the constant struggle between humanity and hunger. Despite a number of technical missteps, Cabernet delivers an experience that is both thematically bold and mechanically thoughtful. [Read more…]
System Shock 2 Remastered Review
System Shock 2 stands as one of the most influential immersive sims ever made, blending first-person shooter mechanics with RPG elements and a deep, unsettling sci-fi horror narrative. Over two decades since its original 1999 release, Nightdive Studios has taken on the ambitious task of remastering this classic for its 25th anniversary. The goal was to modernize the experience for contemporary audiences while preserving the core atmosphere and gameplay that made it a cult favorite. After extensive time with the PC version, I can confidently say that the System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster strikes a commendable balance between nostalgia and modernization — although some rough edges remain.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Review
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a rare breed in modern RPGs. It’s unapologetically grounded, deeply immersive, and painstakingly detailed. Where most games chase fantasy and spectacle, Deliverance II embraces realism—warts and all. The result is a rich, historically authentic experience that rewards patience, planning, and persistence. Building on the cult success of its predecessor, Warhorse Studios has returned with a larger, more refined sequel that elevates nearly every aspect of the original—while still retaining the heart of what made the series unique. [Read more…]
The Talos Principle: Reawakened Review
In the age of remakes and remasters, few projects feel as meaningful—or as meticulously executed—as The Talos Principle: Reawakened. Developed by Croteam and published by Devolver Digital, this ambitious reimagining of the 2014 philosophical puzzle game does far more than update textures. It reintroduces one of the most thought-provoking titles of the past decade with renewed clarity, technical excellence, and even fresh narrative content. [Read more…]
PEAK Review
PEAK is a cooperative climbing game that tasks players with scaling a mysterious, hazardous mountain after crash-landing on a remote island. Developed collaboratively by Landfall Games and Aggro Crab, PEAK emerged from a 2025 game jam and quickly rose to prominence due to its unique gameplay mechanics, emphasis on teamwork, and engaging challenge. Its fresh approach to multiplayer cooperation and minimalist design have earned it both commercial success and a dedicated player base. [Read more…]
Broken Arrow Review
Modern military real-time strategy (RTS) games are a rare breed these days. Where once the genre was awash with titles like World in Conflict and Wargame: Red Dragon, recent years have seen a retreat into either high-level grand strategy or stripped-down tactics games. Broken Arrow—from indie developer Steel Balalaika—aims to bridge that gap with a bold vision: large-scale, modern combined-arms warfare powered by deep customization and tactical nuance. [Read more…]
Rematch Review
Following the success of Sifu and Absolver, French studio Sloclap has turned its attention to an unexpected arena: football. But Rematch is anything but traditional. It strips the sport down to its raw, competitive essence—no rules, no refs, no pauses—and rebuilds it as a fast-paced, highly skill-driven 5v5 experience that feels more like Rocket League with human legs than anything resembling FIFA. With a focus on tight team play, precise controls, and minute-to-minute excitement, Rematch is one of the most ambitious arcade sports titles in recent years. But does it do enough to justify its premium price point in a free-to-play saturated market? [Read more…]
F1 25 Review
With F1 25, Codemasters and EA Sports deliver their most feature-rich and visually advanced Formula 1 title to date. While the game introduces several meaningful improvements—particularly in physics, career depth, and visual fidelity—it stops short of a complete reinvention. For newcomers, it’s a compelling starting point. For returning players, the question is whether these upgrades justify another annual purchase. [Read more…]
The Alters Review
The Alters is an ambitious, genre-blending title from 11 bit studios, the acclaimed creators of This War of Mine and Frostpunk. Seamlessly combining survival mechanics, base-building strategy, and branching narrative design, The Alters explores deeply human themes—identity, regret, and the consequences of choice—through an innovative gameplay structure that is as introspective as it is mechanically engaging. [Read more…]
The Last of Us Part II Remastered Review
When The Last of Us Part II first released on PlayStation 4 in 2020, it sparked both critical acclaim and widespread debate. Now, five years later, the Remastered edition arrives on PC, following in the footsteps of the first game’s eventual port. With updated visuals, deeper content, and robust technical enhancements, the game finally reaches a broader audience—one that’s eager to experience its haunting world and emotionally charged narrative. More importantly, The Last of Us Part II Remastered on PC answers a critical question: can a console-centric masterpiece make a graceful leap to keyboard, mouse, and high-end rigs? [Read more…]
Stellar Blade Review
After garnering attention with its console debut, Stellar Blade arrives on PC with graphical enhancements, expanded language support, and a suite of refinements aimed at a broader audience. Developed by Korean studio Shift Up, this action-adventure title aims high, blending cinematic storytelling with flashy, fast-paced combat. While it doesn’t quite escape the long shadow cast by games like Nier: Automata and Bayonetta, it carves out its own identity through strong aesthetics and an energetic core gameplay loop. [Read more…]
Dune: Awakening Review
Dune: Awakening represents a bold step forward for survival MMOs, merging deep resource management with narrative ambition in a setting as unforgiving as it is iconic. Developed by Funcom, the studio behind Conan Exiles, the game offers a new vision of Frank Herbert’s universe—one where Paul Atreides was never born, and the fate of Arrakis hangs in the balance. Set in an alternate timeline within the Dune mythos, Dune: Awakening invites players to carve their own path across the sands of Arrakis, balancing survival, political intrigue, and emergent multiplayer dynamics. The result is a fascinating, if occasionally uneven, experience that blends narrative-driven RPG elements with a truly punishing survival sandbox. [Read more…]
