Dead Reset is proof that we, as an audience, need to be ready for a return to the somewhat archaic age of Full Motion Video (FMV) games, but with a modern twist, dark, brooding story, and some genuinely impressive body horror that’ll leave you wretching one moment, intrigued the next, and laughing after. If you’re…
One of my many appointments during Gamescom 2025 was to be one of the few lucky enough to see early gameplay footage of io Interactive’s 007 First Light. Like many, when it was announced, I was a little skeptical. Did it make sense for the long-standing Hitman dev to be taking the reins for the…
2025 is absolutely stacked for releases, arguably up there with some of the biggest and best years in gaming ever, and it’s still got a fair bit to go. That’s why it’s all too easy to miss a release here and there, especially a AA one, but I implore you, do not sleep on Hell…
There’s no getting away from the fact that these days, if you decide to release a kart racing game that consists of a cast of familiar faces from multiple franchises, you’re going to be called a Mario Kart rip-off. The same thing has happened to countless games in the past, and it happened to Sonic…
Gamescom is THE event to attend every year, now that E3 is no longer with us. Summer Game Fest is catching up, but for now, if you want to get your games out there to the wider world, then the German game event is the go-to event to get the maximum amount of eyes on…

By now, 2026 has quickly become the year of GTA 6. With the delay shocking no one, and other publishers waiting to see what would happen regarding the crime franchise’s release, it seems a no-brainer that every gamer and their dog would be looking forward to next year with one main game in mind. I…
The next installment in the Dying Light franchise is almost here, and we once again spoke to Tymon Smektala, franchise director, about what we can expect with Dying Light: The Beast. Sharing some shocking revelations, as well as joking (we think) about a parody of DC’s Batman being included in the game, he was more…
In an age where big companies seem intent on going the route of live service and multiplayer-only adventures, AA indie studios are paving the way for some truly incredible and hard-hitting single-player games (go no further than Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, for example), and Elyzio is well and truly following suit. We spoke to Dogan…
The art of making a good Soulslike game has been refined over the years, ever since FromSoft released the trailblazing Dark Souls series. There have been plenty of attempts, plenty of misses, some hits, and some abominations that aren’t worth mentioning. Now, we have the latest attempt in capitalising on the gravy train that Hidetaka…
