Category: Games October 7, 2025 When Ninja Blades Meet Streetwear: Ninja Gaiden 4 x BAIT Collab Unleashed Tom Lee, Creative Director, Team Ninja When we set out to launch Ninja Gaiden 4, we knew we had to do more than drop another game trailer. When the opportunity came to join forces with the cult streetwear…
Dungeon Keeper is one of my all-time favourite games, tied with Theme Hospital as Bullfrog’s most fondly remembered management sim. Yet whereas Bullfrog’s isometric cure ’em up is still fairly playable today, returning to Dungeon Keeper in 2023 is hard going. Its visuals are incredibly bleary on a modern machine, while it’s also finicky to…
For three decades, the Sega Genesis versus Super Nintendo debate has refused to die cleanly. Sega’s marketing was loud and confident, positioning the Genesis as the technically superior machine. The actual hardware, however, told a more complicated story, one where speed traded against depth, and a famous marketing phrase turned out to be entirely theoretical….
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, and maybe that means you’ll be off on a romantic break. You may want to curl up by a fire with friends or a loved one, but what if your trip turned into more than you bargained for? Until Dawn | PlayStation.com As you may know by now, Until Dawn sees…
“Without Nasir, there is no DOOM”. Co-founder of id Software and one of the minds behind the seminal FPS Doom, John Romero, has honoured a legendary Square programmer on social media, calling him an “inspiration”. Sharing his thoughts in the wake of Japanese broadcaster NHK’s interview with Nasir Gebelli, who lead programmer on the Final…
The Vidlak Bandit’s Map is likely one of the first you’ll encounter in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and you’ll quickly realise that medieval map makers really weren’t up to snuff. You get this map during the Lackey quest, when huntsman Vostotek asks you to save his horse from some thieving poachers. After you’ve dispatched said…
What’s the best Alien game after Alien: Isolation? No, it isn’t Aliens: Dark Descent, though that is an excellent real-time tactics take on James Cameron’s sequel. Neither is it Alien: Rogue Incursion, Survios’ recent VR spin on Isolation. The answer is, of course, Duskers, the 2016 indie game about scavenging derelict spacecraft using drones controlled…
I really love The Outer Worlds 2—so much so that even after reviewing it, I’ve already started my second character. One thing that stood out to me, though, is that you can’t side with the Arcadia system’s resident collectivist surveillance state, the Protectorate—you can’t even earn or lose reputation points with them like the other…
Genre hybrids are everywhere these days—whether a turn-based soulslike or a city-building deckbuilder—but I’m still regularly surprised by new combos, some so natural that it seems ridiculous that there aren’t already a hundred games doing the same mash-up. Absolum‘s mix of side-scrolling beat-’em-up and roguelike action-RPG is the perfect example. Beat-’em-ups thrive in repetition—the classic…
Originally released in 2005, and developed by the Ukrainian studio Deep Shadows, Boiling Point: Road to Hell is an extremely buggy, flawed, and some would claim unforgettable open world FPS. It arrived at a time when open worlds were relatively uncommon and, well, kinda showed why: the game was absolutely overreaching in its goals, and…
