Romeo is a Dead Man reviewRomeo is a Dead Man begins as a chaotic mishmash of visual styles and storytelling ideas, and ends as an assured hack ‘n’ slash whose oddness works in its favour. Developer: Grasshopper Manufacture Publisher: Grasshopper Manufacture Release: February 11th 2026 On: Windows From: Steam Price: $50/£42/€44 Reviewed on: Intel Core i9-10900K, 32GB RAM, Nvidia RTX 3090, Windows 10 Like the summonable, energy-shooting ghoul I cultivated on my spaceship’s zombie farm, Romeo is a Dead Man is a bit of a grower. After an iffy start that exhibits plenty of Grasshopper Manufacture weirdness but not much…

Reanimal reviewTarsier break away from Little Nightmares with an impressively bestial horror fantasy that veers into a No Man’s Land of wartime imagery. Developer: Tarsier Publisher: THQ Nordic Release: February 13th, 2025 On: Windows From: Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store Price: £35/$40/€40 Reviewed on: Intel Core-i7 12700F, 16GB RAM, Nvidia RTX 3060, Windows 11 In an industry pestered by calls to “think of the children”, Tarsier’s games are useful reminders that children can be utterly depraved in ways no coddling adult would ever dream. Later in Reanimal, the developer’s latest, strictly ‘co-optional’ horror game, two kids rip an eyeball…

Resident Evil Requiem is quickly emerging as one of the most anticipated survival horror titles in development. With Capcom hinting at a darker narrative, more restrained gameplay, and heightened psychological tension, Resident Evil Requiem could mark a defining moment for the long-running Resident Evil franchise. After decades of shifting between action-heavy spectacle and tightly focused horror experiences, the series now appears poised to return to its most unsettling roots. Below are seven reasons Resident Evil Requiem stands out, and why fans of survival horror should be paying close attention. 1. A Return to Pure Survival Horror Early details suggest Resident…

Gaijin Entertainment knew exactly what it was doing when it came up with the name Aces of Thunder.Yes it very obviously references its own ubiquitous military mega-arena, but for flight sim fans of a certain vintage, there is a special reverence for what was later marketed as the Great Warplanes Series. These games, for those too young to have experienced them, were a DOS-era series that started with Red Baron and were quickly followed in the early 1990s by Aces of the Pacific and Aces Over Europe. My nostalgia goggles may be a little foggy, but I believe all three…

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties reviewQuirky charm and moreish busywork can’t distract from RGG’s questionable attitude to sexual assault. Developer: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio Publisher: Sega Release: February 11th/February 12th 2026 On: Windows From: Steam Price: £54.99/€59.99/$59.99 Reviewed on: Intel Core i7-12700F, 16GB RAM, Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti, Windows 11 Excuse me, coming through. I’m Kazuma Kiryu, and I’m on my way to speak to some gruff yakuza lads about what their local gang war means for my orphanage. You can tell I’m serious because I’m riding a prototype segway dressed in nothing but a swimming cap, goggles and…

With every game, Team Ninja becomes better at making action RPGs. Although they were once commended for an interesting take on the souls-like formula, their games have evolved into something else. Rise of the Ronin has surprised me in the best possible ways, and I can’t get enough of it. The Journey of a Lone Veiled Edge Image: Attack of the Fanboy Rise of the Ronin starts by introducing their fictional clan, the Veiled Edge. These are no ordinary warriors. Although often portrayed and referred to as Samurai, Veiled Edges are always trained in pairs and are as skilled in…

Mewgenics review: A strategy roguelite where you breed cats, send them on DnD campaigns, and try to come home with your loot (and limbs) in one piece. Developer: Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel Publisher: Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel Release: Feb 10th, 2026 On: Windows From: Steam Price: TBC Reviewed on: Intel Core i5-12600, 32GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060, Windows 11 I can’t get Fish Sticks out of my head. Not the food, but the stray cat with a squished face and stubby legs that I wrangled into my shack in Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel’s new roguelite strategy…

Even though it’s become a tired point of discussion and the center of some truly disheartening discourse, there’s a lot to like about Stellar Blade. Developer Shift Up’s debut PlayStation 5 title has been shown off for what feels like ages now, and the finished product is far more polished than you’d expect from a primarily mobile development studio. Still, despite its fantastic presentation and satisfying combat, Stellar Blade unfortunately falls a bit short compared to other games in the genre. Stellar Blade is a decent enough action game, though, and its great combat system does a lot to carry…

I’m not really into first-person shooters and roguelike games, so when I say that Mullet Mad Jack was a blast, that should mean something if you are into that kind of game. This fast-paced first-person retro shooter is something else. It’s a game created with love and care, packed with references to a bygone era that will make you feel nostalgic. It hooks you with a system that criticizes our dependency on dopamine while simultaneously using it to keep you playing. It’s pretty genius, honestly. You Have 10 Seconds Screenshot by Attack of the Fanboy Mullet Mad Jack has a…

While the wait for Dragon Quest XII continues, Square Enix has kept the fires burning for the Dragon Quest series by remaking some of the earlier entries. First, the legendary Dragon Quest III was given the HD-2D treatment while largely retaining its original structure. Next, Dragon Quest I & II underwent a similar process while also dramatically expanding on the sparser bones of those pioneering RPGs. While one might have expected Dragon Quest IV to be the next game to be reissued, Square Enix decided to hop ahead to the PlayStation Dragon Quest game, Dragon Quest VII. We’ve had plenty…
