Project Motor Racing review: A full-price game that feels like Early Access

Project Motor Racing is launching as a full-priced game, but with all the technical issues and glitches from the Giants Engine, it feels more like an Early Access release. An interesting idea for a career mode is overshadowed by poor performance.

Dispatch review: Feeling the weight of your choices

Episodic video games are back, but it’s not Telltale this time. AdHoc Studio has burst onto the scene with their superhero sitcom, Dispatch, which might be one of the best games of the year.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 review: More Destiny than Black Ops

The latest Black Ops 7 not only pales in comparison to Battlefield 6, but it also doesn't measure up to the previous Call of Duty games. Despite its huge PvP and PvE content, this is the most bland installment in years, with the worst story campaign.

Anno 117: Pax Romana review: Roman setting brings evolution the Anno series needed

I must admit that the Anno series has always been close to my heart. And although I haven't been particularly fond of it in recent years, this time, thanks to the Roman setting and new mechanics, I once again felt a long-lost excitement.

Jurassic World Evolution 3 review: Essential for dinosaur fans, lacking for tycoon players

Jurassic World Evolution 3 doesn't revolutionize the series, but it refines what fans already love. With natural dinosaur breeding, smoother management, and a solid sandbox mode, it's a pleasant, if safe, evolution of Frontier's dino-park formula.

Painkiller review: An empty shell exploiting a legendary brand

The new Painkiller tries to revive a classic with modern co-op action but ends up missing the mark. Despite solid shooting mechanics, its short campaign, weak AI, and uninspired design leave the experience feeling flat.

Absolum review: How I learned to love a co-op beat ‘em up roguelike

For years, I’ve thought of the beat ‘em up genre as something meant for arcades. A repetitive action experience meant to be played in short bursts. There are pros and cons to this approach, but it’s on me for thinking that was the only way.
