ARC Raiders Review
Nov 13, 2025
Embark Studios is made-up of former DICE developers, and it shows. First, THE FINALS offered us a game show style first-person shooter with destruction that Battlefield lacked, up until the recently released Battlefield 6. Now we have ARC Raiders, a game that started as a PvE-only game, now a PvPvE extraction shooter that should have you every bit excited as the hype around it leading up to launch has been. Extraction shooters is an emerging sub-genre of shooter that have seen their fair share of Escape from Tarkov clones and many unique attempts that just could not find an audience for one reason or another. Embark chose to carve a new path by making a third-person extraction shooter that bears similarity in structure to Tarkov, but decidedly goes in the opposite direction of nearly every design decision to be something memorable and truly outstanding. If you were looking for THE extraction shooter to try and hope to stick with, ARC Raiders is it.
Wreckreation Review
Oct 27, 2025
Three Fields Entertainment consists of less than ten people, key folks at Criterion, who went on to forge a new path for creating arcade racing games. After several Burnout-likes, the trend continues with Wreckreation, a game that nearly recreates the open-world format and feel of Burnout Paradise, with a twist. Wreckreation does give you the power of creation to make the world something yours. Being able to plop down ramps, loops, and tons of items, this really becomes a racing adventure park only limited by your imagination. Creation is not mandatory, though it is an additive experience along with the hundreds of races and things to do. Not everything in Wreckreation comes together like it should, but when it works, it’s a smashing delight.
The Outer Worlds 2 Review
Oct 23, 2025
It’s hard to believe it’s been six years since the release of The Outer Worlds, and it became one of my favorite RPGs in recent years, until now. The Outer Worlds 2 addresses nearly all the shortcomings of its predecessor. Planet surfaces now feature bigger play areas and more places to explore, weapons are varied and more fun to use, and choices are bountiful and more significant. Obsidian Entertainment has crafted a game that feels like it has existed before you, and will continue to long after you. The Outer Worlds 2 it’s an expansive game that puts the “role-playing” of this RPG in the forefront that will excite many, and satisfy even more.
Escape From Duckov Review
Oct 16, 2025
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and for Escape From Duckov is that. It clearly looks to Escape from Tarkov as inspiration, and comparisons are inevitable when 81% of the name matches. It evens goes so far as to ape so much of the weapons, ammo, attachments, items, systems, and locales that it’s hard for the game to present its own identity in contrast. That said, Escape From Duckov is an accessible top-down PVE extraction shooter, but it leaves me wanting more originality and fun that it claims to have.
BALL x PIT Review
Oct 15, 2025
BALL x PIT (pronounced Ball Pit) is just as fun as the ones you’d play in as a kid, except here there’s no chance of catching a disease from it. Not to be reductive, but this is essentially Breakout meets Vampire Survivors meets Stardew Valley, albeit with its own flavor and dressing. This is a game of endless combinations of builds and loadouts for an action roguelite with unique twists to keep you coming back for “just one more run”. In general, I think ‘addiction’ is too strong a word in almost any context, especially games. When it comes to BALL x PIT, it’s evident that it has all the hooks to be the next fixation to enter the zeitgeist.
Battlefield 6 Review
Oct 09, 2025
The teams behind crafting Battlefield 6 leaned heavily on the community to build it from the ground up, and its sturdier than the foundations the prior games were built on. This is a game that’s serious in tone but isn’t afraid to have fun. I sure hope you like explosions, because during any given match there’s at least one going off every five seconds that’s sure to rattle your headset or speaker setup. It’s beautiful bedlam on display without compromise. Battlefield 6 hits all the right notes with its wanton destruction, hallmark chaos, and above all is a game built by fans, for fans.
Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition Review
Sep 29, 2025
Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition takes the original VR experience of Alien: Rogue Incursion and puts it onto flatscreens for an often exciting and engaging non-VR encounter. The translation shows Survios put in a lot of work to make this looks and feel substantially different, and succeeds. Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition has enough going for it to be excited about. At $30, Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition is properly priced for a standalone game that features only “Part One” of the story.
