Sins of a Solar Empire 2 Review (2025)
As a life-long lover of sci-fi battle scenes, it is always a joy to order a fleet of dozens of starships of all shapes and sizes to hyper-jump to a neighboring planet, then zoom in and watch as they burst into existence on the other side, bearing down on the ...
Sleep Awake, a visually inviting horror game from the lead dev behind Spec Ops: The Line, has a demo out now
It's been a while since we've had a new game from Spec Ops: The Line director Cory Davis. As far as I can tell, the last game he made was 2016's Here They Lie, a survival horror game. He's currently working on another horror game in fact, Sleep Awake, which ...
My Hero Academia: All’s Justice Wants You to Be a Hero, Not Just a Fighter

Yakuza Kiwami 3 and Dark Ties Bring Much-Needed Combat and Visual Upgrades
As a Yakuza fan, I’ve recommended the series from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, otherwise known as RGG, to plenty of people, but it has long come with one big caveat: Yakuza 3. It’s not that there is anything necessarily wrong with it, but with high-quality remakes of the first games ...

Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow Translates the Soul of Thief to VR
I was very pleasantly surprised when a new Thief game was announced at Sony's June 2025 State of Play. It's one of my favorite franchises -- I am still of the opinion that Thief II: The Metal Age is the best stealth game ever made – and it's been dormant ...
