Europa Universalis 5 review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/europa-universalis-5-review

Published: October 31, 2025 17:00

Europa Universalis 5 is a forever game. Insofar as you might be able to play this grand historical strategy forever, but also because - my god - it takes forever to play. After a mere 45 hours of conniving, trading, battling, and scratching my head at…

The Outer Worlds 2 review

I am a baby, floating through space. A decade or so passes while I’m frozen in a pod, dead to the world. Clearly, though, all is not as it seems. Upon finally being rescued and thawed out, I’m given grave news. I’ve been diagnosed with consumerism. Read…

The first level of PowerWash Simulator 2 is cleaning the moving van that just brought you to your fancy new office. 'We're not in Kansas anymore,' say developers FuturLab, as you take in the map wall where you can select levels in an expanded PowerWash…

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines-2-review

Published: October 20, 2025 14:22

Let's get this over with early: Bloodlines 2 probably should not have been called Bloodlines 2. Shared setting and a couple brief, questionable cameos (plus one utterly rubbish bit of cosmetic DLC) aside, there is little tying this game to Troika's…

Asus ROG Xbox Ally X review: Falling short of Xboctations

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/asus-rog-xbox-ally-x-review

Published: October 15, 2025 13:00

The best thing about the ROG Xbox Ally X is that it finally acknowledges the truth – a truth that, despite continued denials by device after device, at least partly accounts for why the little old Steam Deck still rules the world of handheld PCs despite…

Battlefield 6 review

All hail the Battlefools! They fan out efficiently from spawn and are instantly massacred in a hail of rifle fire and grenades. Arguments erupt in the chat. Who's watching the flanks? Were you watching the flanks? I'm not supposed to watch flanks, I'm an…

Little Nightmares 3 review

Published: October 9, 2025 10:16

The code Bandai Namco were kind enough to send me for puzzle platformer Little Nightmares 3 included a swathe of bonus costumes resembling characters and monsters from the previous games. Another way to phrase this would be that, before I'd had a chance to…

Hades 2 1.0 review

Published: September 24, 2025 15:00

I am gonna claw out your eyes, then drown you to death. I AM GONNA CLAW OUT YOUR EYES, THEN DROWN YOU TO DEATH. So goes the chorus to the hit single Hades 2 girl group Scylla and the sirens have been rehearsing in lethal fashion for a year and a bit. It’s…

Dying Light: The Beast review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/dying-light-the-beast-review

Published: September 22, 2025 12:22

It's hard to talk about Dying Light: The Beast—the latest in Techland's open-world zombie parkour action series—without talking about its origins. While now living life as a full-priced retail game with a respectable ~20 hour campaign (and one that I…

Silent Hill f review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/silent-hill-f-review

Published: September 22, 2025 07:00

Is there anything left that Silent Hill can offer us? Last year, I felt the answer to that question was a resounding no. The series' comeback game The Short Message, a short teaser of a horror experience, landed far, far away from my tastes, and last…
