Previews and first impressions on upcoming games in 2025-2026. We got our hands on it before you: find out what convinced us, and what didn't.
A co-op roguelite FPS in a magitech fantasy world, 45 weapons and rare playtest telemetry. The numbers just need reading properly.
160 scrolls, 140 skills, 10 sects: the material is there. The animation and visual dressing, much less so.
You deny claims, file HR paperwork before flirting, and fight on a grid. The writing is funny, the combat more debatable.
A collapsing space empire, an entity called The Veil, and an expedition loop built to swallow your evenings.
36 classes, salaries to pay and gladiators who age then retire. A real management game under rough presentation.
Height-based combat, limbs to sever on Titans, a karma system. Genuinely new mechanics, in a shell that still has to find its own identity.
80 scenarios, pike and shot, Gustavus Adolphus and Breitenfeld. A hex wargame descended directly from John Tiller, as rigorous as it is austere.
A turn-based tactics game from the XCOM veterans, set in the best period of Star Wars. With permadeath, and one worry about the music.
A free-to-play Division spin-off landing on Steam. I sank hundreds of hours into the first two, so let us just say I am watching this one closely.
