Honest scores and expert analysis
Review
Bonsai Collective's first-person bullet-hell FPS is the most confident shooter to launch in 2026 to date - a tight, eight-hour, no-filler movement game with the best art direction of the year and six boss fights that justify the entire build.
Review
ZA/UM did the impossible: a Disco Elysium follow-up that earns the comparison without imitating the formula. Zero Parades is one of the strongest narrative RPGs of the decade - sharper writing, smarter systems, a protagonist with genuine interiority, and a world that rewards slow exploration. A rough first ten hours and an underused Action Sequence system hold it back from a perfect score, but the things that matter sit at the very top of the form.
Review
A meaningful step up from Call of the Sea in scope, puzzle craft, and dual-protagonist storytelling, even if a soft second act and budget seams keep it from greatness. The most consistently engaging Lovecraft adventure in years.
Review
Forza Horizon 6 is Playground Games' most accomplished open world racer to date. The Japanese setting, the densest urban map in series history, the deepest car list the franchise has ever shipped, and a launch-window roadmap that respects long-term players combine for a launch that comfortably justifies the day-one excitement. A 95 from us puts it among the very best games of the generation.
Review
Supermassive's sci-fi pivot delivers a career-best performance from Lashana Lynch and some of the studio's sharpest visuals to date, but the bones of the cinematic horror format are starting to show. A draggy first half, padded stealth detours, an uneven supporting cast, and recycled QTE rhythms keep Directive 8020 from punching at the weight its premise promises. Worth playing on subscription for the highlights; harder to recommend at full price.
Review
An FGC-shaped tag fighter with the best rollback netcode and most mechanically confident combat any licensed fighting game has shipped with this decade — wrapped in a single-player package that's roughly half the size it should be. If you're buying for the multiplayer, this is one of the most rewarding fighting games of 2026. If you're buying for the story mode, wait for a sale.
Review
Tides of Tomorrow reaches for something genuinely new in the narrative adventure genre, and its Online Story-Link system is the kind of innovation that other developers will inevitably borrow. The flooded world of Elynd is beautiful and haunting in equal measure, and the Plastemia premise gives every encounter real stakes. Where the game stumbles is in the fundamentals — writing that does not always match the ambition of its mechanics, and secondary gameplay systems that feel like afterthoughts. It is a game that is greater than the sum of its parts, and for players willing to embrace its experimental spirit, there is nothing else quite like it.
Review
REPLACED is a breathtaking cyberpunk pixel-art experience that earns its long development through visual craft and narrative ambition rarely seen in the medium. Combat, platforming, and save system rough edges keep it from greatness, but what works here works at an exceptionally high level.
