PC, PS5 and Xbox game reviews in 2025-2026: complete and honest critiques, no inflated scores. We play to the end and tell you everything.
Dark Quixote Studio pitched it in three words: robotic kittens, bombs to disarm, roguelite. We didn't resist. We were right not to.
Papers, Please meets That's Not My Neighbor in a 1990s American gas station. One developer. 99% positive on Steam. Day One on Game Pass. Shift at Midnight came out of nowhere and it's here.
EA Sports killed arcade hockey twenty years ago. Excellent Rectangle, a Montreal studio, arrives with build synergies, absurd power-ups, comic book body checks, and genuine Canadian hockey culture baked in. This was the game that was missing.
IO Interactive delivers the best Bond game since GoldenEye 1997. 88 on Metacritic, their best score, and writing that exceeded everything we hoped for. We had doubts about the story. We were wrong.
Realm of Ink arrives with an ink and calligraphy art direction that captures attention immediately. The real question, in a genre this saturated: is that enough to make a good game?
A LEGO game that pays tribute to every version of Batman from Tim Burton to Reeves' The Batman, with a combat system borrowed from the Arkham games and a Gotham open world among the best of the year. Nobody saw it coming.
Good Feel doesn't remake Crafted World. They build something without a precise genre name: a side-scrolling sandbox where each level is a creature to understand. Inventive, beautiful, and almost without challenge.
Forza Horizon 6 arrives in Japan with the best map in the series, slightly improved progression, and an AI that's still as maddening as ever. It's FH5, better, in a place that finally deserves it.
Five years of Dark Pictures for this: an alien that mimics its prey, genuine paranoia, and finally an entry that justifies the series' existence.
