Cygame’s Granblue Fantasy: Relink was released in 2024, and the Action-JRPG is a standout, delivering satisfying combat and an endearing yet epic tale. After much anticipation, Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Endless Ragnarok continues the story as a hefty expansion after the credits of the base game roll. Following the events
What happens when you cross a human with a vampire? According to the devs at Rebel Wolves, you get a “Dawnwalker”. Thanks to publishers Bandai-Namco, I had a chance to learn the ways of a vampire-human hybrid when I had a sneak peek at “The Blood of Dawnwalker”, and I’m
There is no denying that Square Enix has given us some brilliant HD-2D games over the years. Octopath Traveller and Triangle Strategy, for example, have both followed the publisher’s traditional turn-based formula. Developer Claytechworks, however, has decided to ditch that approach in The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, replacing
The Xenoblade series is one of the premier JRPG games exclusive to Nintendo consoles, all developed by Monolith Soft. The original Xenoblade Chronicles was released on Nintendo Wii all the way back in 2010 and was a commercial success in Japan and other parts of Asia. In the West, however,
While the world waits for The Elder Scrolls VI, a small team of just 13 people at Paraglacial has been hard at work on Fatekeeper. Supported by publisher THQ Nordic, this first-person action RPG has just launched into Early Access, and I have to say, so far, it’s mostly off to a promising
In 2023, Truck Driver: The American Dream, developed by Kyodai and published by SOEDESCO, received a mixed reception. Our own Sammy Hanson reviewed the game and felt it lacked in certain areas. If you want his full thoughts, you can read his review here. In this re-release/update of the
The Tales of series began in 1995 with Tales of Phantasia on the Super Famicom. Currently, there are 17 games in the main series, plus various spinoffs and crossovers with other properties, as well as a few anime adaptations.

Sometimes, a game comes along that feels perfectly fitted to your tastes, and yet you somehow had no idea it even existed. It leaves you wondering how it managed to fly so completely under your radar. Nitro Gen Omega, developed by DESTINYbit and published by Beep Japan, is one of those games
He is back and packing a little heat. Creator of the Legacy of Kain, Denis Dyack, along with Apocalypse Studios, dropped this action narrative-driven RPG right into our laps. Now powered with Unreal Engine 5, Deadhaus Sonata has the potential to be quite a fun game. The early access to
I had extremely high expectations coming into this DLC from the developers, Blizzard Entertainment. I reviewed the original base game Diablo IV on release back in May 2023, and the first DLC, Diablo IV: Vessel Of Hatred’ at the end of 2024. Being incredibly pregnant at the moment, I felt
“I always wanted you to go into space, man”! is that iconic line from Babylon Zoo’s song Spaceman, which feels like the perfect way to launch into the PlayStation 5 release of one of the most anticipated space-faring experiences of recent years and my own adventures into this space cowboy
Whenever a game describes itself as a Souls-like, a little part of me screams with joy. It’s by far my favourite sub-genre within gaming, but how does 2nd Eve, developed and published by Gamer Cloud, handle these expectations? You play as Sister Superior Zola, a nun who is tasked with
Blood Reaver is a dark fantasy first-person shooter game from developer Hell Byte Studios. Described on their Steam page as “Harness forbidden magic and weaponry to shoot, blast and slice your way through endless hordes of demons”. Let’s jump into this early access FPS shooter and see how long we

I’ll be honest: I never was a fan of The Division. Rough start to a review, right? But hear me out. In 2016, Ubisoft released The Division 1: a deep, grim look at a pandemic breaking out during the holiday period. Although facing strong competition from titles such as Uncharted
Borderlands 4’s first major paid DLC, Story Pack 1: Mad Ellie and The Vault of the Damned, has finally landed, bringing with it more story, a new area, more bosses, loot and another Vault Hunter. We’re still on the planet Kairos, but with a stop into something else altogether, whether
‘Dysplaced’ is the second open-world title from the developers at 10Ton Ltd, following up from their original title, ‘Dysmantle’, released in 2021 to excellent reviews on Steam.

Published by Kwalee and developed by Clover Bite, GRIME II is a Metroidvania-style game and a sequel to the critically acclaimed GRIME from 2021. The original game focused more on body horror, but GRIME II takes a more art-focused narrative and is now lurking its way onto Xbox Series X|S,
We have all heard the story of Jesus before, whether it be through movies, the Bible, or simply hearing it told over the years, but Jesus Simulator takes a different approach to how the story is experienced. Developed and published by VRCFORGE Studios, this narrative-driven game retells the story of
Since 2004, Blizzard has captivated millions of players with the largest MMORPG of all time: World of Warcraft. After over 20 years, the second chapter of the three-part World Soul saga, the first multi-expansion storyline in the game’s history, designed both as a celebration of the franchise’s twenty-year legacy and
What screams ‘slaughter’ more than a collaboration with Bethesda’s ‘Doom’ franchise for Blizzard’s ‘Diablo IV: Season Of Slaughter’ battle pass and content? I don’t think I can think of a better combination. ‘Doom Guy’ and ‘The Butcher’, I am in heaven this season, but Sanctuary itself couldn’t be deeper in
Bethesda Game Studios is gearing up to deliver one of the biggest updates for Starfield yet, with a massive content drop arriving on April 8. Headlined by the new Terran Armada story expansion, the Free Lanes update marks a significant evolution for the ever-expanding sci-fi RPG, introducing new systems, gameplay
Bethesda’s Fallout 4 was originally released in 2015, becoming one of the best games in the series and was a strong contender for Game of the Year. Even with the release of Fallout 76 three years later, many fans would go back to Fallout 4 and other Fallout games. 10
Borderlands 4 – Bounty Pack 2: Legend of the Stone Demon has dropped for Gearbox Software’s Borderlands 4. However, Legend of the Stone Demon doesn’t quite deliver the depth I expect for an additional paid content pack. Legend of the Stone Demon centres on newcomer ally Defiant Calder’s request for your
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is another notch in Capcom’s long-running creature-hunting and capturing series, but instead of the mainline Action-RPG style gameplay, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection takes the JRPG route. It’s a welcome change of pace for a usually intense gameplay experience, swapping chaotic combat for
The Tales of series began in 1995 with Tales of Phantasia on the Super Famicom. Currently, there are 17 games in the main series, plus various spinoffs and crossovers with other properties, as well as a few anime adaptations. Bandai Namco has been revisiting old games in the series and
The Yakuza/Like a Dragon series has been one of SEGA’s premier franchises since 2005, developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, but didn’t truly find its footing in the west until 2015 with the release of the prequel game, Yakuza 0. There was certainly a fan base in the West, but many weren’t aware of the franchise.
I was given the opportunity to play Paranormasight: The Mermaid’s Curse before its release on the Nintendo Switch. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this manga-inspired title from Developer “Square Enix”, so come along for the journey and let’s see if I can solve the curse. On loading
