Round Up Baldur's Gate 3 Reviews Rate It as One of the Best RPGs Ever Made
Sitting at a ridiculous 97 on Metacritic
It's felt like Baldur's Gate 3 would be a hit for quite some time, but we didn't quite expect it to have such a colossal impact.

Round Up Forspoken's Divided Reviews Make for Some Rough Reading
Speak up
The Forspoken reviews are starting to come in, and as many predicted, it's not looking great for the open world action RPG. Initial coverage is divided to say the least, with the title currently sitting at a 66 on Metacritic. Not outright bad, but certainly not the hit that Square Enix would have wanted. Generally speaking, reviewers have...

Round Up Star Ocean: The Divine Force Reviews Say It's Pretty Good
Perhaps better than we thought
The Star Ocean: The Divine Force review embargo lifted earlier today, and we do not have our own PS5 verdict to share with you.

All the PS5, PS4, and PSVR2 reveals

Round Up Forspoken Previews Prove It's More Than a Meme
So let me get this straight
PS5 console exclusive Forspoken is not exactly having the best lead-up to launch as gamers dunk on it for questionable voice clips that have turned the entire thing into a bit of a meme. Still, there's more to it than just a script — even if that's relatively important as a story-focused title — and a new round of...

After many years of development, Cuphead DLC The Delicious Last Course launches today on PS4 for £6.79/$7.99.

No console code yet, though
It’s been a bit muted on the Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands front, hasn’t it? The game is out this week, but 2K Games’ marketing machine has been quieter than the titular character, that’s for sure! Reviews are beginning to appear all around the web, however, and the word is that it’s pretty good. The common theme...

Game of thrones
Elden Ring reviews are in, and perhaps crucially, scored Elden Ring reviews are in.

That’s not stopping sites from declaring it one...

Case not quite closed
Reviews for Lost Judgment are starting to appear online, and at first glance, it's looking like RGG Studio has done it again.
