Kaizen: A Factory Story review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/kaizen-a-factory-story-review

Published: July 14, 2025 15:00

"Fine" is a funny word. It can mean something is sublimely crafted, but it can also be used in a withering sense. It's fine. This is fine. But there's another, calm and casual sense in which you can say something is fine. Like when a friend handing you…

Lenovo Legion Go S SteamOS review: Windows get ye gone

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/lenovo-legion-go-s-steamos-review

Published: July 7, 2025 15:25

When even Microsoft themselves start promising a version of Windows 11 that can launch with half its functions turned off, it’s time to accept that such a heaving desktop OS is an uncomfortable fit for handheld gaming PCs. Lenovo already have, launching a…

Mecha Break review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/mecha-break-review

Published: July 4, 2025 16:11

In Mecha Break you play as a booby anime statuette. She is the one driving the mech. This is a leery game of lasers and ass shots, and sometimes even manages to elicit moments of exciting robo-a-robo combat. You fight other players across a splatter of…

Cyber Knights: Flashpoint review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/cyber-knights-flashpoint-review

Published: June 25, 2025 10:11

Cyber Knights: Flashpoint has some excellent nonsense scenario writing propping up mission design. In one early excursion, you remote activate 'defector tech' to convert an enemy agent over to your side, then have a turn to neutralise the neuro-toxin…

Rematch review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rematch-review

Published: June 20, 2025 16:01

I am getting a real kick out of Rematch. As a football game, its closest analogue isn't FIFA or eFootball, but a certain nitro-boosting sports 'em up that has been going for ten years. I've already seen it jokingly described as "Rocket League without…

FBC: Firebreak review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/fbc-firebreak-review

Published: June 18, 2025 16:21

Well, you can’t say Remedy don’t have range. After the screeching survival horror of Alan Wake 2 comes FBC: Firebreak, a three-person multiplayer FPS spun off from Wakeverse stablemate (and excellent action game in its own right) Control. Perspective isn’t…

The Alters review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-alters-review

Published: June 18, 2025 14:06

11 Bit Studios have a thing for circles. Their 2018 hit Frostpunk had you plant rings of buildings around a massive coal-fired generator in a frozen crater, picking research paths to steer your fully overlapping class/temperature Venn diagram of a city…

To A T review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/to-a-t-review

Published: June 18, 2025 11:10

You are a thirteen year old stuck in the shape of a T, arms aloft forever - what do you do? Well, in To A T, you simply go on living your everyday life. This kid-friendly town explorer is both a low-stakes comic adventure and a commentary on living…

Dune: Awakening review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/dune-awakening-review

Published: June 17, 2025 10:23

A survival game lives or dies on the personality of its world. Subnautica is a wonder because its world is a wonder. Abiotic Factor is a cracking farce because its world is a lab staffed by idiots. Dune: Awakening, meanwhile, has the fortune of coming with…

Promise Mascot Agency review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/promise-mascot-agency-review

Published: June 17, 2025 08:46

I really like the world of Promise Mascot Agency as a place, not so much the things this open world collect 'em up management sim makes me do to see more of it. I feel like I went through much trouble stealing the sticker-coated notebook of the…

JDM: Japanese Drift Master review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/jdm-japanese-drift-master-review

Published: May 30, 2025 15:48

I have spun out on wet tarmac again and I am furious with myself. JDM: Japanese Drift Master requires a different mentality to most other racing games. Drifting around a corner is not the side gimmick that you'll do a few times during races. Drifting is…
