God of War: Sons of Sparta — A Legacy That Weighs Heavy
Sony Santa Monica is back with Sons of Sparta, the latest chapter in a saga that reinvented Nordic action-RPG in 2018. The weight of Ragnarök still lingers in memory, and expectations are sky-high. Does this new chapter deliver on its promises, or is it destined to live in the shadow of its predecessors? Find out after twenty hours wielding the Leviathan axe and traversing the nine realms.
Mortal Kombat 2: The Tournament Film That Finally Gets It Right
Five years after a first film that missed the mark, Simon McQuoid returns with Mortal Kombat II and finally seems to understand what makes this franchise tick: chaos, blood, and a completely unhinged mythology embraced without apology. On paper, it's a promise. In practice, does it deliver? We watched, we judged, and we're rendering our verdict without mercy.
Trust GXT 122 Felox+: The Sub-$30 Gaming Headset That Actually Delivers
Under $30, the Trust GXT 122 Felox+ claims to deliver a solid gaming experience without breaking the bank. On paper, ultra-budget headsets rarely impress — comfort gets sacrificed, audio sounds tinny, mics are unusable. So is the Felox+ a genuine surprise or just another bait-and-switch for broke gamers? We spent hours wearing it to find out.
Split/Second: The Forgotten Arcade Masterpiece That Deserved So Much Better
Some games define a generation without ever reaping the rewards. Split/Second is one of them: a spectacular and inventive arcade racing game released in 2010 by Black Rock Studio that crashed into commercial indifference and took its studio down with it. Sixteen years later, it remains an absolute reference point in the genre—an almost perfectly designed game object that nobody cites enough. It was time to set the record straight.
Hell is Us: The Markerless Exploration That Actually Deserves Your Time
Hell is Us arrived in 2025 without making the noise it deserved. Developed by Rogue Factor and published by Nacon, this unconventional AA game stakes everything on markerless exploration and an oppressive civil war atmosphere. Neither classic action-RPG nor walking simulator, it charts its own course with rare conviction. The question isn't whether it's perfect — it isn't — but whether it's memorable. After a dozen hours inside it, the answer is clearly yes.
Steam Controller 2026: Valve Takes Another Shot, But Is It Actually Better?
Ten years after the original Steam Controller's commercial flop, Valve is back with a new gamepad built for living room PC gaming. Redesigned trackpads, improved haptics, broader compatibility—on paper, the pitch is solid. But a controller lives or dies in your hands, not in a press release. Lumnix put it through its paces on a demanding selection of games to tell you whether Valve finally cracked the code—or if history's repeating itself.
Hitman World of Assassination: Three Years Later, Still on Top?
IO Interactive consolidated its stealth trilogy into a single edition in 2023. Three years on, as the studio prepares 007 First Light, it's the perfect time to settle this: Is Hitman World of Assassination the definitive achievement of modern infiltration gaming, or a monument showing signs of age? We replayed it all. From the start. No safety net.
Crimson Desert: Full Review of an Unforgiving Action-RPG
After years of delays and overhauls, Crimson Desert finally arrives. Pearl Abyss delivers a rare action-RPG that blends visceral combat with a dense open world. But behind its ambition lies plenty of rough edges that won't suit everyone. We put it through its paces to see if the wait was worth it.
Granblue Fantasy Relink: The Best Co-op Action-RPG You Slept On
Released in early 2024 to relative indifference, Granblue Fantasy Relink stands as one of the most polished action-RPGs in recent years. Spectacular combat, smooth online cooperation, generous endgame content: CyGames delivered a game that absolutely warrants your attention. With a major expansion, Endless Ragnarok, launching in July 2026 and an open beta coming soon, now's the perfect time to dive into—or return to—Granblue.
Enotria: The Last Song — The Rough Italian Souls-Like Hiding Real Gems
Released to widespread indifference in 2024, Enotria: The Last Song is one of those indie games that deserves a second look. Inspired by Mediterranean folklore, this transalpine souls-like bears the scars of its tight budget and its studio's inexperience, but it contains genuinely honest level design and a visual identity you won't see anywhere else. Updates have since healed many of its wounds. Time for a clear-eyed verdict.
Seven Deadly Sins: Origin — The Gacha That Promises Everything and Takes Even More
Netmarble returns to the Seven Deadly Sins license with an ambitious mobile action-RPG, technically polished and packed with spectacle. But beneath the surface generosity lies a gacha system fine-tuned to drain wallets. We logged dozens of hours to settle the question: does quality compensate for predatory monetization? The answer is more complicated than we'd hoped.
Pragmata: Was Capcom's Solo Gamble Really Worth the Wait?
Announced in 2020 with a mind-bending trailer, Pragmata vanished from the radar for years before resurfacing quietly. Capcom is betting on an ambitious solo adventure, blending sci-fi, mystery, and action in a post-apocalyptic lunar world. After such a long wait, does the result live up to expectations for this unconventional project from the Japanese publisher? We played it all, analyzed everything. Here's what it's really worth.
