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.
Doom: The Dark Ages — The Medieval Slayer Who Crushes Everything in His Path
id Software ditches Eternal's vertical frenzy for grounded, unapologetic brutality. Doom: The Dark Ages sets a different pace—heavier, more tactical, yet never losing the saga's DNA. Chainsaw shield, dragons, demonic armor: the Slayer traded his jetpack for gothic plate. Does it work? After twenty-plus hours in the guts of this infernal Medieval age, here's our full verdict.
Gigabyte GO27Q24G Review: Budget WOLED With a Catch
Gigabyte is pushing WOLED technology into more affordable territory with the GO27Q24G, a 27-inch panel that undercuts most of its organic LED competition on price. Sounds like a win. But cheaper components and aggressive cost-cutting leave visible marks on image quality that serious players will notice immediately. Is the trade-off worth it, or does this monitor prove that some corners simply shouldn't be cut? We put it through its paces.
Samson: A Botched Launch, A Saving Patch — The Full Review
Samson, the small-time criminal simulator from Liquid Swords, arrives with serious ambitions and an embarrassing bug sheet. Caught between brilliant ideas and repeated crashes, this game deserved better than what it delivered on day one. We played through all of it, suffered through all of it, and broke down every piece. The studio is promising a major patch before the end of the week — but a game is also judged by what it is on launch day. No-holds-barred verdict.
Forza Horizon 6: Japan in Drift — Does It Deliver on the Promise?
Fourteen years of waiting, rumors at every Xbox Developer Direct, and here it is at last: Japan lands in Forza Horizon 6. From Tokyo's neon sprawl to mountain switchbacks straight out of Initial D, Playground Games' arcade racing series is swinging for its most ambitious target yet. We got our hands on a work-in-progress build. Here's our unfiltered verdict on what it actually feels like behind the wheel.
