MSI Claw 8 AI+ review: second time’s the charm for this powerful handheld revamp

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/msi-claw-8-ai-plus-review

Published: March 12, 2025 17:05

One thing this review can’t tell you is how exactly the MSI Claw 8 AI+ improves on the original Claw, for the simple reason that MSI themselves binned off the latter before I had a chance to try it. Three months, it lasted, before this do-over got…

Expelled! review

Verity Amersham's pockets are overflowing. Her school uniform hides a paperclip, a safety pin, two school badges, two books, a bottle of wine, a bottle of chloroform, a handwritten note, and more. None of it will do any good, as I have failed once again.…

Alta used to be a champion fighter. Now, she can’t even lift her sword. After she collapses in the forest, a kindly teashop owner called Boro invites her to join him. Maybe a spell of cozy gardening, cleaning, and making tea for customers will help her…

Suikoden I & II HD Remaster review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/suikoden-i-ii-hd-remaster-gate-rune-and-dunan-unification-wars-review

Published: March 10, 2025 12:30

Suikoden I & II HD Remaster Gate Rune And Dunan Unification Wars is an unwieldy subtitle for a pair of comfy and often cheerful RPGs, but it's one you could easily see on the slipcover for a thick slab of historical fiction. It scans. Suikoden is never so…

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 review: an RTX 4070 Super with a DLSS 4 badge

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-review

Published: March 7, 2025 16:58

I knew the RTX 5070 was tricking me. Parked next to the extravagant silliness of the two-grand RTX 5090, this £539 / $549 graphics card looked like a very agreeable deal, offering all the same DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation as its bigger, pricier…

Split Fiction review

Brendan: Hello, Nic. Nic: Brendy! Why are you here, in my review? What is this, some kind of Split Fiction? Some kind of co-op adventure by Hazelight? Fine, since you're here: what's the best bit of Split Fiction, Brendy? Brendan: We were escaping sci-fi…

Sid Meier's Civilization VII review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/sid-meiers-civilization-vii-review

Published: February 25, 2025 15:30

Civilization is one of only two games I’ve had on every computer I’ve ever owned, in its multiple versions, since I first encountered it. (The other is NetHack.) It’s also important in my family. My wife plays it frequently (although she’s been on a…

Two Point Museum review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/two-point-museum-review

Published: February 25, 2025 14:00

Two Point Museum is a game about how the crushing practicalities of life eventually force you to spend less and less time on the things you truly care about. More specifically, it's a game where I started every stage as an enthusiastic interior design…

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti review: bad start, decent GPU

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-review

Published: February 24, 2025 16:26

I’m a bit late to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, which means that this review – while already a dismal failure in the glowing robot eyes of the Internet nowness machine – can at least factor in the context of the GPU’s first few days on sale. Said context…

Afterlove EP review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/afterlove-ep-review

Published: February 24, 2025 16:00

Among the bravest risks a game can take is making you play an arsehole. Afterlove EP's Rama isn't an arsehole, but he's getting there. He's a grieving indie rockstar who has fallen into self-neglect and hermitude - a gloom-sodden, guitar-cradling burden…
