Arcante Review
Arcante revisits the first-person, party-based fantasy RPGs of the ’80s and ’90s. Does it revitalise this niche genre, or does its ambition fall short?
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Review
Koei Tecmo’s Omega Force studio returns to Hyrule for a second time, this entry acting as a prequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Though some things have changed, there’s still a very familiar feeling.
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Review
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is a game made up of equal parts rice farming and trouncing baddies. Is it fertile enough ground for a satisfying experience to take root or will players only reap the withered husks of disappointment?

Mercenaries Blaze: Dawn of the Twin Dragons Review

Adventure Corner: A Summer’s End – Hong Kong 1986
Loud music and neon, the 1980s were a time of whirlwind change. In this Adventure Corner we look at A Summer’s End – Hong Kong 1986, which is a beautiful game about queer ladies in the 80s.
Chronos: Before the Ashes Review
Chronos: Before the Ashes is an action RPG in which players need to traverse a labyrinth by solving puzzles and killing enemies in order to face a dragon. While some games feature heroes growing older, this one handles the aging process rather differently.
Monster Strike Review
Some strikes are big hits, and others are misses. It all depends on the game being played. So what happens when you add a ton of monsters to the mixi? Will it be a swing and a miss, or a ten-pin slam?
