Wargaming’s new action-RPG Pagan Online is up on early access and I managed to get some time with it. It gave me heavy Warframe vibes with all the looting and grinding for new heroes, mixed in with some Diablo-like hack-and-slash gameplay. The core gameplay loop worked for me but only up ...
Anime Souls. That’s my mental shorthand for Bandai Namco’s Code Vein, the upcoming action-RPG that takes more than a few cues from FromSoftware’s cult series. It was announced when the general public was starting to tire of Souls-likes, but a “polishing delay” has seen it pushed beyond its planned ...
With how explosively popular the battle royale genre has become, it is hardly surprising that Battlefield V would take this opportunity to cash in on this latest craze with their very own mode: Firestorm.

Trudging through the recreated streets of Washington DC, I settled into a cover-shoot-loot cycle that felt warmly familiar. The environment has changed, the components have shifted, the gadgets updated; but ...
The island seemed familiar. My Ubisoft handler suggested I check out the spot before our hands-on session wrapped up, and with 30 minutes left on the clock I figured why not. I had just acquired the Saw Launcher and probably had enough ammo for whatever awaited me, so I ...
Red Dead Online is finally here… sort of. It’s now playable by all Red Dead Redemption 2 owners, but it’s in beta which means there are balance and gameplay issues galore. While the main game focuses on the Van Der Linde gang (our review here), Red Dead Online follows its own ...
If Ubisoft are gambling on a new intellectual property for their bid in the toys-to-life space, then surely it must be riding on some good characters and gameplay. Right? So we looked to Starlink: Battle for Atlas with some enthusiasm, and once the Starter Pack made its way to ...
