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.
Project Hail Mary: The Film That Knocked Brandon Sanderson Sideways
Brandon Sanderson doesn't mince words about it: Project Hail Mary hit him like a freight train. The star fantasy novelist, deep in development on the Mistborn film adaptation, admits that the movie based on Andy Weir's novel gave him a masterclass in what a great adaptation should be. When the architect of the Cosmere reassesses his own ambitions through the lens of a smash-hit sci-fi film, it's worth paying attention — and it raises questions the entertainment industry dodges far too often.
Pokémon Champions: A Solid Arena, But Still Too Timid to Dominate
Pokémon Champions arrives with clear competitive ambitions: centralize duels, structure the metagame, give battles the prestige they deserve. On paper, it's exactly what the community has been demanding for years. In practice, the experience reveals a technically clean game held back by overly cautious design choices. Lumnix put it under the microscope. No-holds-barred verdict.
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.
Monster Hunter Wilds: The Hunt Has Never Been This Big

DOOM: The Dark Ages — id Software Invents Brutal Medieval
Shield, flail, and demons: id Software reinvents its own myth in the heart of the Middle Ages. A review on brutality elevated to an art form.
