I was late to the party with Road 96, the third title from French studio DigixArt, but holy hell did I love it. I’ve finished it on Xbox, PS4, and PS5, delighting in its narrative, its characters, and its unpredictability. I told Americans to play it before the most recent election...
Tomodachi Life was a 3DS game from way back in 2013, and to be frank, the only reason I remember it is because it, accidentally or otherwise, labelled homosexuality as a “bug” rather than a feature. Nintendo, of course, has since apologised for that mistake and has followed through on its...
Pragmata
Set on Earth’s moon in the not-too-distant future, Pragmata tells the tale of Hugh Williams, one member of a team dispatched to the Cradle, a lunar research station managed by the Delphi Corporation. It quickly becomes apparent that things are bad on the surface of the moon; none of the...
People of Note
After hours with People of Note, I feel like I owe it an apology as a result of my preview. This, the second game from Iridium, isn’t so much a music-based game than one about music. Instead, it’s better to call this equal parts RPG, narrative adventure, and puzzler —...
Marathon
In-progress review [10 March 2026]: There’s calm to be found among the tension of those metallic footsteps. The cold, hard sound of a UESC bot patrolling a hallway. It’s a threat, sure. A wrong move and you’ll be knocked before you know what’s happening. As long as they’re there though,...
Survival horror fans are having the time of their lives at the moment, with remakes and new entries coming from franchises including Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and now Fatal Frame. Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo have paired for Fatal Frame 2 Crimson Butterfly Remake, though sadly this one doesn’t reach the heights...
It’s been a while since the last Monster Hunter Stories game – though the first two did get an upgraded re-release on all consoles in recently – and Capcom has returned to the series with gusto. Bringing a level of vibrant colour that I thought was illegal in the RE...
After terrifying us with first-person horror, Resident Evil Requiem sees the triumphant return of third-person over-the-shoulder action. With an eye cast across the series’ history, this is a confident blend of the best of old and new Resident Evil, combining the stalking horror of Resident Evil 2 and the exhilarating...
Star Trek Voyager was the first series in the franchise that I ever really watched. Chaotic, late-night scheduling plagued it for much of its Australian airing, but I was the kind of kid who would typically fall asleep with the TV on anyway. Having now as an adult watched Star...
Mario returns to the court in Mario Tennis Fever after his deluge of Aces almost eight years ago, following a similar game plan. The single-player content remains light and fixates on a series of basic mini-games designed to teach newcomers the mechanics, while its greatest strength is reaffirming that a...
Romeo is a Dead Man
Romeo is a Dead Man is the latest from Grasshopper Manufacture and SUDA51, the latter recently part of the somewhat lacklustre Hotel Barcelona. Whereas that title had some interesting ideas that ultimately fall through, Romeo is a Dead Man tries to get by on style and attitude alone, and will divide...
They said it couldn’t (or wouldn’t) be done, but the mad lads did it anyway! After the brilliant Kiwami remakes of Yakuza 1 and 2, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have circled back to breathe new life into another of the early Yakuza and Like a Dragon titles with Yakuza Kiwami...
