Wildgate Review
Aug 01, 2025
Wildgate is one of those games that came out of nowhere and pleasantly surprises you at every turn. This is the debut title from Moonshot Games, an internal studio under the Dreamhaven banner, and it’s clear from the outset that this isn’t just another rote space shooter. Wildgate offers tactical ship-to-ship combat and fast-paced first-person action. After spending many hours navigating getting it space shootouts and and engaging in frantic boarding actions, I can confidently say that this sets a high bar for what a multiplayer sci-fi experience can be. Wildgate is an amalgamation of Sea of Thieves and FTL to be a stellar blend of space dogfights and on-foot mayhem.
NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound Review
Jul 30, 2025
The Game Kitchen, best known for developing Blasphemous and Blasphemous 2, a team that is a perfect fit for NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound. The developers excel at retro visuals that have a mood, and a movement system that feels deliberate with controls being precise. This extends to NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound, where everything coalesces beautifully, and while it isn’t impactful as the developers prior games, provides a soulful entry that’s a joy to play. NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound sees the series return to the 2D plane to be a bloody exciting ninja adventure that’s not to be missed.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 Review
Jul 25, 2025
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 sees the two of the series most successful and highly reviewed entries paired together, and completely remade. These two games alone were cultural touchstones, providing soundtracks to countless childhoods, and a masterclass in arcade sports design. Iron Galaxy is at the helm this time around, taking over for the disbanded Vicarious Visions to carry the torch. It’s undoubtedly the best way to play both of these games on modern systems, albeit some changes that not everyone will love. But these games feature the best maps of the series you’ll never tire of playing on. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 to provide some competitive comfort food in a near-perfect compilation.
RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business Review
Jul 17, 2025
RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business continues the crime-stopping adventures of the titular RoboCop in a new standalone game that’s too big to be a DLC, but so similar that it can’t be called a sequel. It’s clear Teyon wasn’t done with RoboCop, and it turns out neither was I. While my affinity for the movie series is not as strong as others, being able to step back into the metal boots of RoboCop has been another fun romp. There’s plenty more criminal scum to put away, and RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business takes some risks and even some liberties, trying to avoid the first game’s pitfalls to deliver another great power fantasy where limitations exist – and mostly succeeds.
REMATCH Review
Jul 02, 2025
Soccer has seen its fair share of contenders vying for the digital pitch, each promising the ultimate blend of realism and/or exhilarating gameplay. Enter REMATCH, a new challenger that steps onto the field with bold ambitions, aiming to carve out its own niche in the crowded multiplayer arena. REMATCH is serious compared to its four-wheeled contemporary, but it’s no less fun or gratifying as it looks and feels like the real thing, only with more flourish and style. Having triumphed for several wins and enduring many agonizing losses, REMATCH lives up to its name, offering a compelling reason to step back onto the pitch for just one more game.
FBC: Firebreak Review
Jun 27, 2025
FBC: Firebreak is simply not Remedy’s best work. Moreover, FBC: Firebreak is a complexly put together game, because I’m not sure what is trying to achieve. Ultimately, it doesn’t do what Remedy is known for, and that’s having a strong narrative to support the gameplay. FBC: Firebreak is a perfunctory game that offers a paranormal co-operative experience set in a unique universe people may or may not know, and a game I can’t recommend you get to know.
Dune: Awakening Review
Jun 25, 2025
Frank Herbert’s sci-fi epic “Dune” was a real page-turner in 1965. And since then a series of old and new movies were made, a deckbuilding boardgame on PC, and even a 4X RTS was also released by Funcom. And now we have a massively multiplayer survival game from Funcom that feels like most like “Dune”. Dune: Awakening is not without it flaws, but it flies past anything in the genre to be the most coherent and satisfying survival game, and it’s a damn good “Dune” game, too.
