Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is comfortably the best autoshooter to emerge off the back of Vampire Survivors‘ success. Far from being a cynical cash grab, it deftly blends DRG’s mining mechanic with the almighty power curve of Poncle’s action roguelike. Indeed, aspiring space dwarf Robin Valentine gave it a score of 90 in our Deep…
Green Beans. Howdy, hoopers! Welcome to another edition of Box Art Brawl. Before we check up for this week’s one-on-one, let’s remind ourselves what went down last time. It was an East vs West battle, as we matched up two covers from the GameCube’s Tales of Symphonia. Alas, it was not a close one. The…
“If anything changes, we will inform you”. Although rumours about a new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt have been swirling about, don’t expect to hear anything from CD Projekt’s other game, Cyberpunk 2077. In response to a fan asking about future DLC, the official Cyberpunk 2077 social media account has ruled out “additional…
Pre-orders now available for the ‘Mini’ and ‘Deluxe’ versions. Remember how the Japanese accessory maker HORI released racing wheels that were compatible with the Switch title Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?

Some quests will point you to endangered species (and the main story will send you after one or two),…
Darktide sure is a dark game. That’s both because it’s set in the dreariest of dreary sci-fi settings, the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and because missions mostly take place in shadowy, industrial environments familiar to anyone well-versed in the tabletop game’s lore or numerous videogame adaptations. If it’s a bit too shadowy and claustrophobic for you,…
The Simpsons is in a rare class of TV shows, and I’m not just talking about its absurd number of seasons (they’re up to 37 now). It’s one of precious few TV series to get a good videogame adaptation; there are a few games that have become good shows at this point, but rarely do…
For the last couple years, I’ve been desperately craving a good open-city game, the kind that arrived with such regularity in the Xbox 360 era that we foolishly took them for granted. Yes, I know that Grand Theft Auto 6 is due to launch later this year. But I’m after something more arcadey and knockabout,…
