After a few false starts, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is finally out this week. It seems fair to say that Ubisoft hasn’t had a colossal hit in a while – with the likes of Star Wars Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora only being modest successes – which makes it all the more interesting to see …
The WWE 2K series seems to be back on track, with this year’s edition garnering a positive reception. At the time of typing, WWE 2K25’s Metacritic sits at a respectable 85%. New feature The Island – a location filled with events and quests – is apparently a bit of a ‘pay to win’ experience, but …
March is looking sporadic for new major releases, with the majority not due until the end of the month – such as Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Atomfall, Killing Floor 3, The First Berserker: Khazan and Xenoblade Chronicles X. That’s unless you happen to enjoy sports sims, with both WWE 2K25 and MLB The Show 25 due …
Capcom has been on a roll of late, making good on promises, creating all new fan favourite entries in long run franchises, and bringing back much loved IP. Monster Hunter Wilds – the successor to 2018’s Monster Hunter World – looks set to continue this trend, with the beta gaining a positive reception. Wilds has …
We can only assume Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has a Mister Donut shop outside their offices, as they’re able to produce fully-featured and content rich Like a Dragon (nee Yakuza) games on a yearly basis. Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is this 2025’s offering, starring Goro Majima as they explore the open sea while assembling a one-of-a-kind …
While there’s nothing uncommon about new releases launching on a Friday, this week sees more than usual due to Valentine’s Day – including titles appropriately themed, such as the narrative adventure The First Valentine, comical 2D puzzler Girlfriend from Hell, and the anticipated Afterlove EP – a tale of love and loss, from the creator …
It’s finally over. January, that is. Throughout February we can expect Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Avowed, Monster Hunter Wilds, and next week’s Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered. Retro fans may also want to look out for Konami’s re-release of the cult GBA action platformer Ninja Five-O, along with their collection of older Yu-Gi-Oh …
It’s the end of the month, which means a long-awaited payday – the first of the year, no less – is imminent for many. Publishers must be hoping that there’s cash left over after paying off the post-Christmas credit card bills as it’s an exceedingly busy week for new releases. A little something for everyone, …
There’s no stopping Bandai Namco lately. Following on from Freedom Wars Remastered and Tales of Graces f Remastered, the prolific publisher is back with week with SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada – a resource gathering PvPvE extraction shooter set in 2222 – and the Switch version of the one-on-one brawler Guilty Gear Strive – which promises …
The Xbox missed out on last week’s double-whammy of Freedom Wars Remastered and Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana, but there’s no blockade this week with Dynasty Warriors: Origins and Tales of Graces f Remastered both gracing the system. The connection here, of course, being that these are all Japanese games. Additionally, Namco Bandai’s SYNDUALITY …
The gaming industry has finally woken from its Christmas slumber to present us with half a dozen new releases. That’s on PSN and the Switch eShop, at least – the Xbox misses out on this week’s two Japanese RPG re-releases. A handful of multiformat games are lined up for the Xbox Store though, including the …
Japanese publishers are looking to capitalise on the typically quiet month of January, offering up a handful of RPGs and whatever Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos is. Our best guess considering the peculiarly vague product description is that it stars the cast of Neptiuna riding bikes while collecting/fighting blob-like creatures. Quite the departure for the franchise. …
It’s business as usual on the Switch eShop this week with dozens of games due, albeit many of dubious quality. It’s that time of year alright. Over on the Xbox Store and PSN things are predictably quiet, with just a handful of publishers vying to get their games on the digital storefronts over the lucrative …
While new releases are lined up for next week, including a tactical Star Trek battler set to launch on Christmas Day, this week pretty much sees the last noteworthy scheduled releases. Even Xbox Wire is done with this year, making the current new release round-up their last of 2024. PSVR2 owners have two titles to …
Reviews of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle went live last Friday to coincide with the early access release, and were almost unanimously positive. Many critics claimed it was the best Indiana Jones game to date, which isn’t quite the compliment it may seem – we haven’t had a new Indiana Jones game in a …
