High on Life 2
Eurogamer
60
The sequel to Squanch Games' detestable FPS demonstrates significant improvement, though its biggest features remain its weakest. Eurogamer's review.
ARC Raiders
Eurogamer
40
Rich combat and an unusually friendly community make Arc Raiders an cracking extraction shooter, but Embark Studios' continued use of AI voices is inexcusable.
Battlefield 6
Eurogamer
80
Battlefield 6 delivers a thrilling multiplayer reset and decent, if derivative single-player. But shows nagging doubts about what makes Battlefield special.
Borderlands 4
Eurogamer
60
Borderlands 4 brings a more sensible script and a true open world to its cel-shaded gun-show, but these moderate improvements are undermined. Our review.
System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster
80
Our review of System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Edition - a lovely game that's showing its age a bit.
MindsEye
Eurogamer
20
Despite some early promise, MindsEye is sunk by a ridiculous story, inconsistent writing, poorly designed mission scenarios, and utterly atrocious combat.
Delta Force
Eurogamer
60
Delta Force is an entertaining one-stop-shop for competitive multiplayer action, but its Black Hawk Down campaign is unpleasant in all the wrong ways.
Shadows of Doubt
Eurogamer
60
Ingenious, unstable, and uncompromising in pursuit of its goals, Shadows of Doubt truly is the ultimate hard-boiled detective sim. Our review.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II
80
Eurogamer's review of Space Marine 2, a mostly-thrilling single-player game and a stupendous one when played in its various forms of co-op.
Concord
Eurogamer
60
Eurogamer's review of Concord, a perfectly playable game of snappy combat and colourful character abilities, with muddled heroes and unimaginative maps.
Skald: Against the Black Priory
60
Eurogamer's review of Skald: Against the Black Priory, a propulsive throwback RPG with grisly character but a little too much adherance to tradition.
Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster
80
Nightdive reveals a shooter that hits the brief like a proton torpedo, a Doom clone elevated by its vivid, imaginative expansion upon the Star Wars universe.
Wrath: Aeon of Ruin
60
Our review of retro-shooter Wrath: Aeon of Ruin.
The Finals
Eurogamer
60
Eurogamer's review of The Finals, which dazzles in the moment but hits problems when it comes to its monetary emphasis.
RoboCop: Rogue City
60
Eurogamer's review of RoboCop: Rogue City, an entertaining if unadventurous RoboCop experience.
Turbo Overkill
Eurogamer
100
Eurogamer's review of Turbo Overkill, and absurd, unrelenting and endlessly creative retro shooter.
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2
60
Eurogamer's review of Warhammer 40k: Boltgun, a stupendously violent shooter.
Victoria 3
Eurogamer
80
An extraordinarily detailed economy and range of interlinking systems make Victoria 3 a grand strategy to rival some of Paradox's best.
Prodeus
Eurogamer
80
Every retro shooter straddles the line between classic and modern design, whether it's a new game built in an old engin…
Sniper Elite 5: Deluxe Edition
100
Like a fleet of Allied landing craft storming the beaches of Normandy, Sniper Elite 5 has blown me away. I spent most o…
