Game of the Year #8 - Dragon's Dogma 2
Top Dogma
When you think of adventure in video games — the immersion that comes with exploring unknown lands and locations — there are plenty of open world games that fit the bill. But we'd argue that very few of those games nail that sense of journey and subsequent discovery quite like Dragon's Dogma 2. This sequel was a long time coming, and...

This slightly different add-on pack will be a narrative-based experience...
News Wuthering Waves Is Releasing on PS5 At the Perfect Moment
Huge content drop to coincide with console launch
Wuthering Waves may look and sound a lot like Genshin Impact, but it’s stronger than the long-running HoYoverse favourite in a number of areas.

Game of the Year #9 - Helldivers 2
For Super Earth!
Helldivers 2 is one of the biggest surprises of 2024.
