Biped initially launched in March 2020 as a cooperative adventure title that focused on moment-to-moment teamwork between two players and racked up glowing 85% average scores across review aggregate sites. Biped 2 is the next evolution in the series and offers one to four player action, with an expanded co-op experience and 2v2 modes to boot! Interesting Mechanics, Cute Storyline Having never played the original game, Biped 2 has a similar visual appeal to it as something like AstroBot or Teara

Look, Black Ops 7 is the latest in Treyarch's Black Ops saga—a direct sequel to Black Ops 2 set in 2035, where you're chasing ghosts from the past (literally, with fear toxins and nightmare realms) as David "Section" Mason and his squad take on some evil tech corp called The Guild. Critics gave it a middling 65-66 on Metacritic, calling it "mixed." Users? A brutal 1.6—"Overwhelming Dislike"—the lowest ever for a Call of Duty game. Steam's at 35% positive. Why the Grand Canyon of a review gap? Cr

When Square Enix released the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake last year, they set a high bar for modernizing classic JRPGs. It was vast, customizable, and breathtaking. Now, with the release of Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, the "Erdrick Trilogy" is finally complete. While these two titles are simpler and undeniably older than DQIII, Team Asano has performed a minor miracle here. They haven’t just slapped a coat of paint on these 8-bit relics; they have fundamentally rebalanced them to be p

Between the brilliant TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind, retro beat-‘em-ups are enjoying a bit of renaissance. Marvel Cosmic Invasion is perhaps the highest profile effort yet, a sublimely presented four-player pixel art tribute to the arcade glory years, when smoky pool halls were ruled by the likes of Capcom’s The Punisher and, perhaps more pertinently here, Konami’s X-Men. In that sense, this outing harbors few surprises: you select from a roster of 15 s

Morsels is one of those roguelike action games that feels impenetrable at first, but once you start learning its obscure language, it becomes more and more rewarding. You play as a mouse trying to fight back against the tyranny of feline overlords, and you do so with mysterious cards that transform you into various strange creatures. Based on trash and scraps of food, the titular Morsels each have unique attacks and abilities, and you can swap between up to three of them as you play through a ru

POOLS is more of an experience than a game. You can technically see it through to completion in about an hour. But amid the brevity of our time with it, there's a palpable sense of atmosphere that'll leave you on edge. POOLS is an off-kilter horror walking simulator where you must navigate complex mazes of tiled hallways, pools, and slides. There are no enemies. There’s no time limit. There are no mechanics beyond walking or running around these hallways. But the game taps into the niche liminal

Some games embrace their inspirations in an obvious display of affection, which is exactly what developer Zenovia Interactive has done with Neon Inferno. This 2D run-and-gun platformer has a ton of similarities to classics such as Contra, yet manages to achieve its own identity with an interesting narrative and engaging gameplay mechanics. At first glance, the game makes a strong impression with its gorgeous, retro-inspired, cyberpunk art style. A lot of effort has been put into character design

Rally Arcade Classics is a £15.99 game that, at the very least, looks strikingly similar to Sega's seminal off-road racer, Sega Rally. With a gorgeous 90s Aesthetic dialled in, 40+ cars to unlock from across the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and 00’s and 48 stages to plough through now thanks to the 1.27 Chase & Precision update, there is a lot of bang for your buck here, but is it worth your time? Gorgeous scenery, great-looking cars Beginning the game, you have five modes ahead of you, including the

For decades, Silent Hill was defined by rust, industrial decay, and the fog-drenched streets of an American town. Silent Hill f shatters that mold violently and beautifully. By transporting the franchise to 1960s rural Japan, the game doesn't just refresh the scenery; it redefines what "Silent Hill" means as a concept, proving that the town's curse is not geographical—it is psychological. The Setting: The Horror of the Higanbana The most striking aspect of Silent Hill f is its visual identity. G

The Verdict at a Glance Score: 7.5/10 Genre: 2D Run-and-Gun / Platformer Perfect for: Retro enthusiasts, Metal Slug/Contra fans, and Terminator 2 diehards who crave 16-bit nostalgia. Overview: A Lost Relic from 1991 Terminator 2D: No Fate is a "lost tape" style game that commits fully to its premise: What if the perfect Terminator 2 tie-in game had actually been released on the Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis in the 90s? Developed by Bitmap Bureau (known for Xeno Crisis), this is a side-scrolling

For fans who have spent the last decade waiting for a true successor to the Looking Glass Studios classics, Legacy of Shadow is a complicated gift. It is not the hardcore immersive sim of the late 90s, but it is also far better than the infamous 2014 reboot. It sits somewhere in the middle: a genuinely atmospheric VR stealth game that nails the feeling of being a master thief, even if it sometimes stumbles on the mechanics. The Gist You don’t play as Garrett this time. Instead, you step into the
