007 First Light review - a flowing thriller that blends occasional sandboxy spying into an exotic rollercoaster ride
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/007-first-light-review-a-flowing-thriller-that-blends-occasional-sandboxy-spying-into-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

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

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
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/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…
Steam Controller review: even without a Steam Machine mate, this is a smartly crafted gamepad that puts PCs first
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/steam-controller-review-2026
Published: April 27, 2026 17:00
Well, one out of three ain’t bad. The second-generation Steam Controller is upon us, the sole survivor of Valve’s delays on its RAM-troubled new hardware. "Go on without us," the Steam Machine and Steam Frame VR headset presumably whispered to a reluctant…
Minos review - Theseus can have the minotaur, this roguelike tower defense gets just too punishing
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/minos-review-theseus-can-have-the-minotaur-this-roguelike-tower-defense-gets-just-too-punishing
Published: April 16, 2026 14:00
The mercenary I'm watching stalk the corridors of the dank labyrinth is right to be scared. He's already seen the rest of his party impaled by pressure plate-triggered spike traps, crushed by heavy stone doors, and drawn off the path to the minotaur's lair…
Idols Of Ash review - a terrific spelunking horror game that makes you choose between a rock and a giant centipede
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/idols-of-ash-review-a-terrific-spelunking-horror-game-that-makes-you-choose-between-a-rock-and-a-giant-centipede
Published: April 14, 2026 13:00
When I think of Idols of Ash, I think of seven sounds, listed here in order of deepening dreadfulness. The first and nicest sound is the clink of my silvery grapple sinking its hook, interrupting the rush of air past my ears as I fall. That's the second,…
A Storied Life: Tabitha review – a cosy yet pensive puzzler where the biggest challenge is getting someone else's story straight
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/a-storied-life-tabitha-review
Published: April 14, 2026 11:43
It is, as I write this, one year to the day since I and two fellow, newly-orphaned siblings finished the process of auditing, packing, and clearing out our childhood home. The final task: enduring the fearsome rattling and suspect braking of our dad’s…
Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus review: another skippable CPU series
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/intel-core-ultra-7-270k-plus-and-intel-core-ultra-5-250k-plus-review
Published: March 23, 2026 14:45
Regardless of whether Intel would say it out loud, the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Core Ultra 5 250K Plus both represent an attempt to right the wrongs of the original Arrow Lake/Core Ultra 200S family. That bundle of chips was, necessarily, more…
