CLAIR OBSCUR
EXPEDITION 339/10
EXPEDITION 339/10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 — turn-based combat with a pulse
Sandfall's debut treats grief and game systems with equal seriousness. Parry windows this satisfying should be regulated.
GAME REVIEWS
Scored out of ten. We buy our own copies, we finish the games, and we've never once let a preview-event buffet change a number. 468 reviews and counting — the newest are below, the archive smells faintly of toner.
Nothing matches that. Even our archive has limits — try a different search.
SILKSONG9/10
Hollow Knight: Silksong — worth every one of the 3,000 days
Hornet moves like a rumour. Bigger, crueller and more generous than Hallownest — full verdict inside.
BLUE
PRINCE9/10
PRINCE9/10
Blue Prince — the house that redraws itself
Forty-five rooms, one inheritance, and the smartest drafting mechanic in years. Bring a paper notebook.
DOOM
THE DARK AGES8/10
THE DARK AGES8/10
Doom: The Dark Ages — a shield saw solves most arguments
Slower, heavier, meaner. id swaps ballet for a medieval brawl and mostly sticks the landing.
HADES II9/10
Hades II — Melinoë earns the family name
Supergiant's sequel deepens every system that mattered and cuts the ones that didn't. Night after night, it holds.
SPLIT
FICTION8/10
FICTION8/10
Split Fiction — friendship stress-test, deluxe edition
Hazelight's genre-hopping co-op adventure is the best couch argument money can buy in 2026.
MONSTER
HUNTER WILDS8/10
HUNTER WILDS8/10
Monster Hunter Wilds — the hunt goes weather-dependent
Capcom's open plains breathe, storm and stampede. Performance on PC needed patches; the hunting never did.
ANIMAL
WELL9/10
WELL9/10
Animal Well — a torch, a bubble wand, and four layers of secrets
One developer, seven years, and more mystery per megabyte than anything else this decade.
UFO 508/10
UFO 50 — fifty games, one fake console, zero filler (almost)
Mossmouth's imaginary 80s catalogue is a love letter with actual teeth. Campanella 2 alone is worth the entry.
SILENT
HILL 28/10
HILL 28/10
Silent Hill 2 — the fog rolls back in, heavier than ever
Bloober's remake understands that the scariest thing in Silent Hill was always James. Respectful, and still upsetting.
ASTRO
BOT9/10
BOT9/10
Astro Bot — pure joy, no asterisks
Team Asobi built the friendliest platformer of the generation. Cynics tested; cynics converted.
NINE
SOLS8/10
SOLS8/10
Nine Sols — taopunk deflection perfection
Red Candle's 2D parry-em-up borrows Sekiro's rhythm and finds its own furious voice.
HOW WE SCORE no decimals. we're not cowards.
10 — an instant classic. 8–9 — buy it, cancel your weekend. 6–7 — good, with caveats we'll spell out. 4–5 — wait for patches or a price drop. 1–3 — we suffered so you don't have to. No decimals, no "review in progress" limbo, and the score never moves after publication — corrections get their own printed apology.
