Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 review: passable GPU, shame about the drivers

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

Published: May 21, 2025 15:10

I’d so desperately like to do a graphics card review without the fug of a wider controversy (or cacked-up market conditions), but the RTX 50 series hasn’t been particularly cooperative in that regard, so why should the RTX 5060 be any different? This time,…

Monster Train 2 review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/monster-train-2-review

Published: May 21, 2025 14:00

The roguelike deckbuilder is a remorseless evil that strives to colonise every dream ever dreamt by the human brain. It is a sparkling, shuffling plague, germinated by Slay The Spire, that threatens to absorb every other mortal pastime, from space travel…

Deliver At All Costs review

They say that if you ignore your detractors, you also have to ignore the praise. But I'm proud that my boss told me I'm a good courier. "I am a good courier", I think, ramming a remote control corvette destined for a local child's chimney into a…

The Precinct review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-precinct-review

Published: May 16, 2025 15:00

I've arrested someone who did not deserve it. The chump was carrying counterfeit jewellry and I lazily slapped on the cuffs without reading my police handbook. I'm about to get that book thrown at me. When I sit at my desk at the end of a shift in cop sim…

Anoxia Station review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/anoxia-station-review

Published: May 14, 2025 09:10

So there's a passage in biographical novel The Moon & Sixpence where art connoisseur Dirk Stroeve spends months helping painter Charles Strickland recover from a life-threatening illness. Once well, Strickland returns the favour by promptly nicking Dirk's…

Drop Duchy review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/drop-duchy-review

Published: May 13, 2025 15:25

Excuse me, waiter, there is a Tetris in my deckbuilding soup. As a combination of roguelike deckbuilder, tactics game, and tetramino tile-builder, Drop Duchy is an interesting mash-up when it works and a somewhat messy experiment when it doesn't. It's…

Doom: The Dark Ages Review

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/doom-the-dark-ages-review

Published: May 9, 2025 14:00

I was having a pretty good time with Doom: The Dark Ages. Then I rolled credits, reinstalled Doom Eternal, loaded up Mars Core, and realised how much Id have lost their sense of playfulness. Less grounded than landlocked, less weighty than weighed down,…

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

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/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…
