This month, step into the ring and dominate the squared circle in WWE 2K25, lead the Phantom Thieves in a new turn-based strategy adventure in Persona 5 Tactica, survive the unforgiving wilderness of the Amazonian jungle in Green Hell, or partake in a Holy Grail War set in Edo Japan in Fate/Samurai Remnant. All these…
A $300 million black hole in handheld form. As much as I love modern-day gaming hardware, it’s all a little too safe for my liking. Platform holders like Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft have a stranglehold on the industry now, and, outside of the likes of Valve, AYANEO and ROG – all of whom are producing…
Primed and ready. Nintendo’s marketing for the Switch and Switch 2 is going absolutely nuts in 2025. We had a Partner Showcase in July, an Indie World and a Kirby blowout in August, and now we’re getting a full-fat, juicy Direct in September. Crikey! Naturally, questions linger regarding the likes of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond…
Category: Games September 10, 2025 Bringing the Darkness to Xbox – Karma: The Dark World Available Today Yonghe Wang, Creative Director, Pollard Studio When we first began developing Karma: The Dark World, we never imagined it would come this far.

Dead Space, along with so much sci-fi horror, probably wouldn’t exist without Alien. Ridley Scott set the bar high, and for close to 50 years the xenomorph’s first outing has informed what people want and expect from their cosmic nightmares.

I check for SteamOS update announcements almost every day, and I can’t remember the last time there’s been one as expansive as this. The September 9 Steam Deck client update—the most recent SteamOS update to release via the stable channel—lists 31 general changes, the majority of these being fixes. That’s not even including the bunch…
I’ve been getting back into detective games recently, and musing about potentially reinstalling Return of the Obra Dinn, a game with a dithered art style that would look fantastic on an e-paper panel. Trouble is, those e-reader-style displays are notoriously slow to refresh, right? Wrong, according to the makers of the Modos Paper Monitor and…
Braving The Mist for the first time in Hollow Knight: Silksong is a confusing experience. Where all other areas have clear routes and maps, The Mist is ever-shifting and changes structure each time you venture in. You’ll have to contend with silk-stealing ghosts, traps galore, and tricky platforming to make it to the other side—that’s…
Game codes are a big deal these days. From Roblox experiences to the latest gacha hits, all kinds of games now accept limited-time codes that unlock free stuff, if you know what they are. You could spend hours each week hunting down the newest game codes for premium currency and other rewards—or you can just…
Red Dead Redemption 2 put an absurd amount of work into making its horses as realistic as possible—thousands of animations, tons of research, testicle physics—and I’m about to undo all of that by turning them into Umamusume: Pretty Derby anime horse girls. That’s thanks to the (frankly heroic) work of JohnTanner1899, who’s been slowly trickling…
