Despelote review

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

Published: May 2, 2025 13:27

Despelote ought to feel idiosyncratic. Set in Ecuador during the country's historic World Cup qualifying campaign in 2001, its protagonist is a half-remembered version of the game's lead developer. Yet there's nothing peculiar about it, either. Despelote…

The Horror At Highrook review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-horror-at-highrook-review

Published: May 1, 2025 15:00

How’s this for playing yourself: after a week spent clearing out my old family home, a week in which I speedran the lives and deaths of several loved ones by combing through crates of school papers, diaries and letters; with hands wizened by cleaning…

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered review

Published: April 29, 2025 12:54

The moment you'll most feel like an adventurer in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is right before you leave the main menu and its music behind - the majestic fantasy epic that music promises doesn't really exist. This isn't Lord Of The Rings. It isn't even…

Skin Deep review

Published: April 28, 2025 15:00

"I. WANT. NINA. PASADENA. DEAD!" This is a distressing thing to hear from the mouth of a space pirate boss, much less see punching onto the screen in bold red text with every word. That's you, see - Nina Pasadena, deep freeze insurance commando. You…

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/clair-obscur-expedition-33-review

Published: April 23, 2025 09:00

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is Sandfall Interactive's debut, which tells me two things about the French studio. Firstly, that they're a bunch of utter show offs and, secondly, that they're a bunch of utter show offs. You can't do this, Sandfall. You can't…

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB review: an all-rounder that’s better all round

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-16gb-review

Published: April 16, 2025 13:02

If PC gaming was a house, the chairs, tables, and at least one pouffe would be make out of Nvidia XX60 graphics cards. No other GPU lineage accounts for as many builds or playing hours, though the fact that we love them so much does make it hurt worse when…

Lushfoil Photography Sim review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/lushfoil-photography-sim-review

Published: April 14, 2025 13:00

Primarily, Lushfoil Photography Sim is – spoilers – a photography sim. Then it’s a walking sim. Then it’s a photography sim again. Then more walking. Then it’s a photography teacher, and a very calm and cool one at that; the kind that would lay down in…

South Of Midnight review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/south-of-midnight-review

Published: April 10, 2025 14:01

In the boss fights of South Of Midnight, you've got to find a pulsing wound on the body of the monster and strike it to cleanse the giant beast of its "stigma". In truth, these creatures are analogues for human characters, sometimes people who have…

Blue Prince review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/blue-prince-review

Published: April 7, 2025 13:52

There are at least hundreds, probably thousands, and possibly tens of thousands of potential houses in first-person labyrinth puzzler Blue Prince. I am genuinely tempted to review them all, but I am not a realtor and Graham's kneecaps inflate when a review…

Psycho Patrol R early access review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/psycho-patrol-r-early-access-review

Published: April 4, 2025 14:00

I cannot review Psycho Patrol R in any way that matters. I could approach this mech-piloting, bullet-hungry immersive policing sim like any other first-person shooter with RPG elements, and tell you about its levels, storytelling, and gamey features. Or I…
