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…
Planet of Lana 2 review - a grander, more dynamic platformer sequel that keeps hold of its heart
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/planet-of-lana-2-review-pc
Published: March 4, 2026 14:00
The original Planet of Lana proposed a science fiction fantasy that appealed on two levels: one, being able to adventure through a wondrously lush exoworld, and two, having a cat who actually listens to you. Planet of Lana 2 is more of the same, on both…
Resident Evil Requiem review - a cathartic cross-breed of creeps and carnage
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/resident-evil-requiem-review-a-cathartic-cross-breed-of-creeps-and-carnage
Published: February 25, 2026 15:00
Resident Evil: Requiem is filled with winking reminders of previous games, so I was surprised the touchstone I kept coming back to was the one Capcom surely want me to forget: Resident Evil 6. The latter set out with bold aspirations. It took all the…
Reanimal review – the dollhouse horror of Little Nightmares gives way to a grimier tale of war and slaughter
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/reanimal-review-the-dollhouse-horror-of-little-nightmares-gives-way-to-a-grimier-tale-of-war-and-slaughter
Published: February 11, 2026 16:21
In an industry pestered by calls to "think of the children", Tarsier’s games are useful reminders that children can be utterly depraved in ways no coddling adult would ever dream. Later in Reanimal, the developer’s latest, strictly 'co-optional' horror…
Romeo is a Dead Man review – an offbeat action game that finds its groovy, gory rhythm
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/romeo-is-a-dead-man-review
Published: February 10, 2026 14:00
Like the summonable, energy-shooting ghoul I cultivated on my spaceship’s zombie farm, Romeo is a Dead Man is a bit of a grower. After an iffy start that exhibits plenty of Grasshopper Manufacture weirdness but not much Grasshopper Manufacture charm, its…
The Dark Rites of Arkham review - pure Lovecraftian point and click fan service
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-dark-rites-of-arkham-review-pure-lovecraftian-point-and-click-fan-service
Published: February 10, 2026 12:31
Cthulhu games are a dime a dozen these days, with everything from JRPG parodies to well-meaning but flawed efforts that bear the official Call of Cthulhu license. But there aren't many point and click adventures showcasing H.P. Lovecraft's sanity-twisting…
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties review - a stuffed remake defined by its own grim connections
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/yakuza-kiwami-3-dark-ties-review-a-stuffed-remake-defined-by-its-own-grim-connections
Published: February 9, 2026 15:00
Excuse me, coming through. I’m Kazuma Kiryu, and I’m on my way to speak to some gruff yakuza lads about what their local gang war means for my orphanage. You can tell I’m serious because I’m riding a prototype segway dressed in nothing but a swimming cap,…
