I can still vividly remember the first time I played Tekken 3, picked Jin, and fell in love with both the franchise and the fighting game genre. Now, almost 20 years since that day, Tekken 8 arrives in the next generation of consoles while promising to bring to its conclusion one of the series’ longest-running storylines. But does Tekken 8 succeed in setting itself apart from the rest, or does its newly implemented mechanics feel like a missed combo? The Best Tekken Main Story To Date To start, we have the game’s Main Story Mode, called The Dark Awakens. After…

One thing that seems certain in video games is that if a legendary developer neglects a beloved franchise, an indie studio will pick up the ball and run with it through a spiritual successor. We’ve seen it in spades with Metroid and Castlevania, and with how long its been since we’ve received a Star Fox game, it was just a matter of time before something like Fur Squadron Phoenix came along. A prequel to 2023’s Fur Squadron, Fur Squadron Phoenix brings more modern visuals and missions than its predecessor, and in the process, delivers the Star Fox 64 successor I’ve…

The Dark Rites of Arkham review An entertaining romp perfect for Call of Cthulhu and ’90s adventure game fans, though how it ranks within the developer’s own canon is up for debate. Developer: Postmodern Adventures Publisher: enComplot Release: February 3 2026 On: Windows From: Steam Price: £13.99/$14.99 Reviewed on: Intel Core-i9-10850K, 32GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060, Windows 11 Cthulhu games are a dime a dozen these days, with everything from JRPG parodies to well-meaning but flawed efforts that bear the official Call of Cthulhu license. But there aren’t many point and click adventures showcasing H.P. Lovecraft’s…

Nintendo’s strangest Switch 2 accessory has arrived: a remarkably faithful recreation of the Virtual Boy.Toward the end of last year, Nintendo dropped the surprise announcement that Virtual Boy games would soon be playable on Switch and Switch 2 via the company’s subscription-based membership service, Nintendo Online + Expansion Pack. For the first time in 30 years, Nintendo fans would be able to play Virtual Boy games like Red Alarm, Wario Land, and Mario’s Tennis on a current-gen Nintendo console. Perhaps even more surprising was the announcement that the catalog of Virtual Boy games would be accompanied by two new accessories:…

In the gaming industry, you need to ask yourself if there can ever be too much of a good thing. I recently have had this feeling that developers these days are living in the past and can’t think up an original idea — leaning on their past successes to continue to thrive. I’m all for it if it’s done right, perfectly executed with both the Final Fantasy 7 remake and the big hits of the Resident Evil series, but not so much in The Last of Us Part 1. It’s a fine line these developers need to walk, where they…

Mewgenics is difficult to assess; it executes some ideas incredibly well, while others are clumsy and grating. I adore its combat, which makes for excellent roguelike gameplay and has been well worth my extensive playtime. Simultaneously, the game’s humor and breeding mechanics have really brought my opinion down over time, as both elements have gotten old as my playthrough went on. Even so, the combat and breeding are two distinct parts of the game, and the former takes up so much playtime that it’s easy for me to push the latter to the side. Mewgenics makes me uncomfortable often enough…

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is one of the most anticipated games of all time, particularly among fans of the original game. Given the high expectations, it’s hard to believe this game could live up to the hype. But what if I told you that it goes above and beyond? Don’t Be Afraid of Change Image: Square Enix Final Fantasy VII Remake ends with Cloud, Aerith, Tifa, Barret, and Red XIII crossing Destiny’s Crossroads and facing the never-ending blue skies outside Midgar. After a harrowing battle against Sephiroth, the party learns that Sephiroth plans to destroy the entire planet. However, thwarting…

When it was released back in 2012, the original Dragon’s Dogma was one of the most inventive RPGs of its time. The game was a commercial success and received a decent critical response, but it didn’t quite get the fanfare it deserved. Of course, the original Dragon’s Dogma still had a lot of rough edges, but had it been released a few years later, it likely would have been appreciated much more. Now, over a decade later, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is finally here, and it feels less like a sequel and more like an “I told you so” moment at…

Our Glassbreakers review was initially published as an unscored review-in-progress on November 13, 2025. After spending five weeks with the game, this was updated to a full review on December 18 with a score attached. Other adjustments were made to the review regarding its player base, co-op mode, post-launch updates, and conclusion. “Time is running out!” the voice declares urgently, and I glance up to see 30 seconds left on the clock.I’m not concerned, though. The game is close but I’m in a strong position. I watch as my opponent pushes his champions down the left lane in a desperate…
