The Incident At Galley House review – an enthralling deduction game that can't escape the genre's classic problem
Published: July 23, 2026 12:50
The machine before me looks like Frankenstein's homebrew version of Guess Who. Its main panel is composed of three rows of portraits. Some show men in 1930s suits, others women in flapper dresses, still more are simply blue people-shaped silhouettes. Below…
Samsung 990 review: a lower-spec SSD that’s weirdly great for games
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/samsung-990-review-a-lower-spec-ssd-thats-weirdly-great-for-games
Published: July 20, 2026 15:32
Launching a new SSD in the current hardware climate, even a simple, DRAMless, QLC-packing SSD like the Samsung 990, may seem like starting up a roof thatching business during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius: innocuous idea, apocalyptically bad timing. Read…
Denshattack review: one of 2026's best games so far is a racing ruckus of railways, rebellion, and ramen
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/denshattack-review
Published: July 15, 2026 15:21
I fear I’ve authored some kind of Boy Who Cried Wolf situation, vis à vis Denshattack. It’s shown signs of greatness ever since its reveal last year, but in hindsight, I wonder if my enthusiasm for its silly side – it is undeniably a game about trains…
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced review - a great pirate game swaps the ups and downs of old Assassin’s Creed for the ups and downs of new Assassin’s Creed
Published: July 8, 2026 10:00
Frigate spotted off the starboard bow, Cap’n! Ready the mortars, me hearties! Fire! All sail! We’ll split her in twain with the ram! She’s not done, swing around and ready the cannons! Fire! She’s dead in the water, bring her in for a steely kiss! These…
Steam Machine review: A singular living room PC that's more expensive than I'd like, but too special not to love
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/steam-machine-review
Published: June 22, 2026 17:00
Have to say, it was more fun when the Steam Deck launched. That was a cool thing, afforded the space and the grace to just be a cool thing. The new Steam Machine, by contrast, arrives at a time when the creative industry it relies upon is being stripped to…
Gothic 1 Remake review - the classic RPG returns with countless subtle improvements
Published: June 22, 2026 13:34
Old-timey German RPG Gothic had a few spiritual successors, but most were offshoots from the same studio. Thanks to pre-digital distribution limits of 2001, it was obscure in North America, which of course means it never existed. It didn't even have Mario…
007 First Light review - a flowing thriller that blends occasional sandboxy spying into an exotic rollercoaster ride
Published: May 30, 2026 09:00
007 First Light is built on the bones of IO Interactive’s Hitman, and makes no effort to hide that fact. But it’s far from just Agent 47 in a wig and doing his best posh English boarding school accent. The section that properly convinced me of this,…
Forza Horizon 6 review - the king is dead, long live the drift king
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/forza-horizon-6-review-the-king-is-dead-long-live-the-drift-king
Published: May 14, 2026 12:00
I blast out of Tokyo, off into the countryside. At first, the roads run alongside waterlogged rice paddies, through flat and open country. Soon, though, I hit the coastal highway which winds its way over deep blue sea and past fishing villages. Carving…
Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes review - an iffy take on the sci-fi series that had me contending with Cylons, sabotage, and STDs
Published: May 11, 2026 16:49
The Gunstar Scimitar, one of the few battleships to escape the Cylon attack on Caprica, has a problem. Yes, it is the only military vessel standing between a pursuing robot army intent on wiping out the last of humanity and an unarmed civilian fleet, but…
Amberspire review - a strategy game dedicated to the dicey ecopoetics of urban sprawl
Published: May 7, 2026 16:00
The key thing to know about Amberspire is that it isn't a city-builder in the SimCity sense, but a turn-based boardgame puzzler in which you don't so much 'build' a city as you do manage a tumult of unpredictable, city-flavoured agencies. Created by Lunar…
Will: Follow the Light review - a pretty Arctic adventure, but tedious puzzles leave it lost at sea
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/will-follow-the-light-review
Published: May 7, 2026 13:00
Will: Follow the Light is a cracking videogame name. Especially when it fades in after a few trailer shots of first-person striding across frozen wastelands and carving a wave-battered yacht through stormy seas. The mystery and peril of some unknown…
