Developer Ninja Theory doesn’t treat this lightly, nor does it demonize the mental health issue, instead focusing on Senua’s story of acceptance, healing, and growth in a raw and powerful way. As Sen...
The follow-up to an RPG a lot of people never thought would ever be made, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a lot like its predecessor in many surprising ways. Read our Dragon’s Dogma 2 reviewto see what makes this game so special, and why we hope the developers can sort out the technical issues in the future.

Certain events push Kiryu back into the limelight once again, forcing him to come into contact with people who he’d rather forget entirely. The Yazuka series may have rebranded to Like a Dragon, but the ser...
A gritty Lara Croft origin story that takes huge inspiration from Uncharted should have been a terrible idea, especially after the well-received (but poorly selling) Underworld, but developer Crystal Dynamics made it work. While most of the challenges Lara experiences should have killed her – like that rusty nail through the stomach – they give the...

In our Assassin’s Creed Mirage review, we praise it for a “renewed focus that trims the fat from its predecessors”. While we’re still treated to an expan...
How do you improve on what’s widely considered the best game in a series? This is the question that Resident Evil 4 Remake answers with style. It has its issues, but perhaps the biggest question answered by our Resident Evil 4 Remake review is if its most important set pieces in the classic survival horror gameare still there. The answer is yes. It...
Licensed games were a joke before Batman: Arkham Asylum. Publishers picked up IPs and crapped out a game to make a quick buck. Then Rocksteady came along and raised the bar forever.
